Football Unhappy with the Chiefs? Get your new team here. - Page 9

**Rain Man** · 02:58 PM

If you're unhappy with the Chiefs or your current team, now is your chance to take action. For the next few hours, and only the next few hours, I am willing to give you a new team to root for this season.

To keep the rush orderly, note the time that you are making your request. I will then assign the teams at the end of each hour.

The assignment will be random, and 1 in 32 on average will not be allowed to switch allegiances since the Chiefs are in the random thread. Also be warned that other AFC West teams could be drawn, so don't make this decision lightly.

If you take a new team, the expectation is that you will watch their games and report back with sadness when they lose and happiness when they win.

Edit: You must enter your name in the public poll to get a new team. I'm learning from all those years of sorting through 200 posts on threads like these.

I'm hoping one of you mother ****ers is the curse that's been holding us back. If we start winning stay the **** away!

I'm taking this to the next level. Gotta find a good fan site and bone up on my Iron Curtain!

It's probably me. I'm snakebit with every team I root for except the Lakers, oh wait, now the Lakers suck too.

Steel Curtain.

NOOB!

I was actually more of a Steelers fan until I was like 11 and my dad starting taking me to games with him. I was at a game when the Chiefs beat the Steelers 20-0 like the year after they won the last SuoerBowl with the Knoll crew. Worst decision of my life. I've kind of learned to not care much for the Steelers since. Them and that awful success they have.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 03-02-2013, 01:22 AM

When I was a kid growing up in the forgettable wastes of Oklahoma, the redneck kids were Cowgirl fans and the rock kids were Steeler fans, so I've got some background with them. That was back in the Mean Joe days.

Might just have to hit him up for some gear and switch affiliations.

We always except new fans in Tampa. At least we try to acquire franchise QB's.

After talking with my neighbor, and recognizing their primary sponsor, I already switched to Manchester United.

**Rain Man** · 03-02-2013, 08:03 AM

Okay, finishing up the March 1st group:

colt459 - Cincinnati Bengals. Why do you guys still have Marvin as your coach?

DaFuq W DisPlace?! - New England Patriots. Before you get cocky, recognize that they haven't won back to back Super Bowls in almost a decade.

**** this Franchise - Atlanta Falcons. So what do you think about them cutting Turner and Abraham?

DisgruntledFan - Cincinnati Bengals. Is Pacman on the straight and narrow now?

East Side Rogelio - Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now go figure out who plays for them, okay? I don't know.

Exoter175 - Oakland Raiders. Oh, god. I'm sorry.

Lumpy - Houston Texans. You guys need a franchise quarterback.

Raiderhater58 - New England Patriots. They're getting old. Hopefully you're not joining Rome in 475 A.D.

How's that working for them?

Not so well, but still better than the chefs.

I promise I will not buy any new chiefs products this year. Hopefully that will help.

ESPN here in Peru is all soccer, all the time. It gives me an appreciation for the fact that America embraces diversity in sports, even if football is a giant among them.

All soccer, all the time.

Which leads me to two questions and an observation:

Observation: at the restaurant last night, there was a game being televised between two teams: Sao Paulo and "The Strongest One". The name of the team was The Strongest One. Did they get their name from a fantasy football site or something? And by the way, they weren't the strongest one. Sao Paolo had them playing defense for 90 percent of the time I was there. And yeah, I know it's lame that I'm watching it, but the TVs are usually at 140 decibels so you can't ignore them.

Question: Soccer is on constantly, and every restaurant has a blaring TV. Twice, I've seen the ball bouncing, and a player clearly takes the ball with his hand and tamps it down against the ground to get control. I thought that was illegal. Are there circumstances where it's not? One time, they stopped play pretty quickly afterward so I don't know if they called it, but the other time the game kept going and it was obvious that the guy used his hands. Yeah, I know it's lame that I watched enough to see this, but see above about the TVs and the decibels.

Question: On commercials and TV shows, they often show people doing soccer ball dribbling tricks. Yeah, I know it's lame, but stick with me. Two guys were doing tricks with each other and two balls (insert homophobia joke here), and they each kicked the ball up in the air and then bent over and caught the balls on the backs of their necks. They were able to hold them, and I thought, "hey, that's the solution to soccer. If they can't use their hands, they can run with the ball on the back of their necks until they get tackled." Is it legal to carry the ball like that if you don't use your hands?
