I'm just messing with you
Okay, know these terms: Touchdown, field goal, fumble, interception, penalties, and keep getting first downs
No, I don't just want to know how to play, I want to know the teams, the politics, the famous players, etc.
Same here.
Chaotic Good. Works for me
Oh, okay. I'll admit, you had me worried :P
I'm not a big sports guy, but I know a little bit about football. Four teams are in the running for the Super Bowl right now.
First, let's talk AFC (one of the two conferences).
The New England Patriots are a well-established team with quite a few Super Bowl wins already. In my hometown, they're known as filthy cheaters who reviewed illicitly-acquired Rams training footage and used that information to beat St Louis in the Super Bowl a little over a decade ago - their opponents never made it that far in the playoffs since. For that reason, I will never root for them.
Competing for their spot in the Super Bowl are the Indianapolis Colts, a similarly seasoned team. I used to root for them because they had a good quarterback by the name of Peyton Manning, but Manning's older now (close to retirement) and playing for a different team, I believe.
Whichever one of those teams wins the next game, their opponent will be one of these two NFC teams:
The Seattle Seahawks - notably, part of the same division as my hometown's team. I'm surprised they made it this far, but one of my real-life friends is a big fan of theirs. If they make it, I'll be cheering them on too.
Finally, there's the Green Bay Packers, arguably the most iconic football team in America. Though they may be from a small town in Michigan (or something like that), their team has done fairly well throughout the years, and their fans are notorious for wearing hats that look like cheese.
Lucky...
**** the Patriots.
You should still root for the Colts! Andrew Luck is a phenomenal quarterback and a lot of fun to watch. I was hoping I would be able to do so in person, but I didn't win the drawing our NBC station did for tickets and a flight out to Foxborough.
Peyton Manning went to the Denver Broncos, but their fans don't appreciate him and booed him when they were losing to the Colts. Lots of Colts fans, myself included, are hoping he comes back to Indy when he retires.
Green Bay is in Wisconsin. Michigan doesn't have a professional football team.
I knew it was either Wisconsin or Michigan - somewhere around the Great Lakes.
Temporarily trading in my blue and gold for blue and white, at least for as long as the Colts remain in contention. Hopefully I get to fly this flag until February!
You seem to have some misinformation. The accusation that the Patriots acquired Rams training footage is actually false. Matt Walsh, who was a video assistant for the Patriots in 2001 claimed that he was present at a Ram's practice facility during a practice. However, he said that no video was recorded. The reason why many people believe that that the Patriots filmed practice before the Super Bowl is because the Boston Herald cited an unnamed source saying that they did. However, the unnamed source retracted his claims after further investigation proved he was lying. The only time that the Patriots have ever been proven guilty of cheating was in 2007, however not for filming practices, but instead the Jets' sideline for play calls (a practice admittedly done by plenty of organizations). No valid evidence has been brought to the table regarding any sort of accusation besides the 2007 incident. I am a die-hard Pats fan and it really does annoy me that, because the Pats were caught doing something that plenty of organizations do and of crappy journalism by the Boston Herald, all of their superbowl wins and just wins in general are just met by unoriginal and simply false "Cheatriots" comments.
You didn't have to tell me you were a Pats fan - I already would have guessed.
Whether it happened or not, I'm surrounded by (and in agreement with) Rams fans who insist that it did and are still quite bitter about having lost that Super Bowl; the fact that the organization was caught cheating in another instance only solidifies the resentment and heightens the suspicion we have against the Patriots.
I may be obligated to vote against every non-repeal WA proposal, but I still like where the current proposal is coming from. A ban on double taxation would be a step in the right direction.
Try until Sunday night. #PatsNation

Last time I checked it was innocent until proven guilty not the other way around. You can have you're "suspicions" all you want but that doesn't mean it happened. The only reason Rams fans are still suspicious is because they are still holding on to the "greatest show on turf" from 12 years ago plus the Patriots are successful. If the Patriots only won in 2002 and they sucked from there onwards, nobody would be complaining.
This ain't politics we're talking about.
This is football.
There's probably some truth to that.
This is football.
I'd agree to it being football, not politics, except every Sunda Night during the regular season I get to listen to Bob Costas at halftime rant about whatever is happening at the time. After Sandy Hook it was "I'm Bob Costas, and even though this is football, I'm going to plug my pro-gun control ideals upon you million of viewers" and after Ferguson it was "I'm Bob Costas, and even though this is football, I have officially changed my race to African American and I will be signing off to go join my brethren in Ferguson, Mississipi. F*** the police and goodnight"

You mean to tell us that the Lions play like professionals? Blasphemy ;)[/quote]
They did make the playoffs.....[quote=the_wabash;9456663]This. I didn't forget about the Lions. All I said was that Michigan doesn't have a professional football team. I'm not wrong![/quote]
You forgot.
I think we may have actually given Pev more information than he needed
The population of Rotgeheim reached 5 billion last night. There's a lot of us now.
really hopping today.
Infinite activity going on right now, yo.
I've got an excuse for not being around, though, and that's because I've more or less been sitting around all day watching IRC (if you don't know what it is go look it up) on account of how I recently became a moderator for a great TF2 community.
So, you know, I totally could have said something if I wanted to.
I guess I didn't because the entire RMB up to now has been football, and I have no idea how that works.
I've done my best to model my nation after my personal views (with a few radical "let's see what happens") and I'm not really sure how I feel about my progress.
This is my first opportunity to use the computer today. Can't wait to buy my own again.

It'll eventually smooth itself out. In the first year it will be rocky, as your choices greatly sway your country's policies. But over the years it will smooth itself out and your nation should reflect your personal beliefs.
That's how it went for me, anyway.
I think I'm a Seahawks fan.
Hey guys, I'm kinda new around here so I thought I'd do my greetings
The Broncos freaking suck, dude. With a quarterback like Wilson and the recent shake-up in tactics, the Seahawks should crush the Packers. We've got the momentum we need.
Board Meeting 5
Chairman calls a vote: pursuant to Fraud Act- Section VI:III, I motion the reinstatement of the citizenship of The New United States.
Chairman votes AYE.
Note - please record your responses on the RMB.
[nation=short]Right-Winged Nation[/nation] votes AYE
Aye
Get out of here. You learned about football like two days ago. Broncos were great before Manning, great with Manning, and will be great after Manning.
That's true. I am still open to convincing. The Broncos haven't won any Superbowls since the late 90s, and their passes during last year's were so slow and predictable. Manning has a lot of work to do with them.
Woah, Pevv I am impressed. By the way, I think that the Seahawks will lose to the packers
Pevv, don't be a seahawks fan
I don't like football. I'm more of a hockey fan myself. Go Blues!
I feel as if every issue I run across has enough merit to answer, but I'm going to have to start dismissing the really insane ones. Seriously though, thanks for the heads up. I'm still learning about this game and in turn actually having to learn about governmental agencies and politics.
Time/Deseret/whatever else he was called said I should leave a message with y'all.
Firstly, he's still an economic centrist and social libertarian.
He won't be on again for possibly ever.
He's having issues in his religion. Last I checked, he was question his Mormonism and is currently looking into what he truly believes in.
He also wanted me to inform you guys that he was my pet. Not to be confused with puppet, he was my human pet. Let that mean to you what it will.
Simply put, his parents found out about it and do not approve. So he's no longer allowed on NS.

You guys are so weird over there.

If the second-to-last line were non-existent, I would have had a much better reading experience.
The Packer Seattle game has been entertaining, and they are still going.
The packers just blew it.
Alright, Seahawks!
Looks like I'm still a Seahawks fan. The Packers really blew it. I gotta say, though, that Rodgers played pretty well tonight.

Looking forward to TTA Comeback 12: The Movie. Should remember to bring popcorn next time.

Yeah, can't blame Rodgers for the loss. Oooh, Can I direct that movie? And third, wait so TTA........................ uh if that is what I think that means, then that would make him a homosexual?
I like Rare Magazine. Aside from the pro-GOP stuff, it provides a lot of introductory, digestible articles designed to draw conservatives towards libertarianism. It doesn't contain much that libertarians don't already know, but it's still a useful ideological tool.

Let's talk about something else.
I'm excited to see American Sniper
I'm not leaving my house until next season. Ugh. Damn Patriots.
Told me to post this here...
He's likely to never come back.
He's Straight, but finds comfort in guys moreso than girls. Also submissive.
He's not a furry. "No, not at all... Just no."
He's not attracted to horses, in truth. Only in a few cases.
He can look at the site but can't post.

I think it's safe to say that most of us don't want to know Time's intimate details.
I'm just following orders.

Well, don't. I can guarantee to you that nobody here cares about that kid's sick sexual details. You're spamming our RMB with inappropriate material and I respectfully request that you stop.
