Since the other NFL thread is closed due to inactivity and the preseason has begun, it's time to get ready for the 2014-15 Season. Who will win the Super Bowl? Will my Dallas Cowboys not suck ass anymore? Will Europeans stop calling that awesome sport, handegg? Let's make some predictions.

>Cowboys
>Anything but 8-8
>Ever

I wish the cowboys were good. I hate the feeling i get whenever i tell people i'm a cowboys fan. Its like a feeling of disappointment. But i've been a fan of the cowboys my whole life, and that's how its gonna be

Do you guys know what it's time for? A SEA-PEAT!

We won't stop calling this sport handegg

….yeah….go team…..

Why not? What did the US do to The Netherlands?

Lose to rival in Week 17 and miss the playoffs, eh? GONNA BE A GOOD SEASON FOR THE 'SKINS, THEN AHAHAHAHAHA- sorry about that.

Just fucking with ya it's a cool sport. I just hate the word soccer

The Dolphins will clearly win the next Superbowl. Obviously.

"The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford '-er' abbreviation ("a colloquial and sometimes facetious suffix prevalent at Oxford University from about 1875, which is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_"-er") of the word 'association'."

I'm aware of that. I still think it's a horrible name for a ball game

Seriously though, Ryan Tannehill is legit underrated.

It's handegg.
I'm pretty sure it's handegg.

I don't think American football should have been called football in the first place to avoid confusion, but what's done is done, so it's called football here. Also, I don't think the shape of the ball is quite one of an "egg" per say.

Guys, guys, it's called Concussionball.

It's a handegg.

DID SOMEBODY SAY HANDEGG‽
Wait, I hate sports.

Can't wait to see what new levels of mediocrity the Lions can achieve this year.

>Will my Dallas Cowboys not suck ass anymore?
That depends, will Romo learn the Heimlich Maneuver?

>calling it handegg when the ball isn't shaped like an egg
This trolling is really stale, by the way. It's at that point where it's just boring by now.

On the handegg thing, people should really shut up about it. This isn't Riff-Raff. This is a legit NFL thread. GTFO if you just came to troll about that.

So, just so I'm not a hypocrite I guess I'll say something hande- I mean football-related.

I honestly have no idea who I'm voting for. I'm not that big a fan so to speak, so I don't have this one team I always root for. What I usually do is just wait for the Superbowl to come and then when the two competing teams are decided I'll pick the one I prefer for some arbitrary reason. I know it sounds shallow but like I said, not very into spectator sports.

It's really more like an offshoot of rugby, actually…

And in unrelated news, the Redskins defeat the Patriots 23-6, the Jets top the Colts 13-10, and the Ravens beat the Niners 23-3 for the first three games of the season.

If you hate sports, then why are you here?

Also, this Jets team is going to be a beast… if this were Madden, of course. But really, I see a wild card spot in their future, especially if Vick starts.

I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD…and there is an NFL thread.

Noice.

I guess I'm rooting for the Eagles this season, always have.

I also live in New York.

I'm very popular among my football friends.

Hand oval.

At least you're not living in Philadelphia and openly rooting for the Cowboys.
I believe they call that… suicide.

Are you going to contribute to the thread or still be a dick about the name? Now what team are you going for?

@A Furry
I believe you're in the wrong thread. The shitposting thread's over here.

I don't exactly know, but I usually go for the Cowboys (even though they perpetually suck ass currently and it's mostly because they're in Texas, and Texas is the best state for football.

"At least you're not living in Philadelphia and openly rooting for anyone else."

FTFY.

Here in Buffalo, the only thing on people's minds right now is who the new owner will be since Ralph Wilson Jr. died. One such group is led by Bon Jovi who is part of a Toronto based group that has had signs of surveying Toronto for a new stadium. As a result, the city is right now very hostile with him. Radio stations banning his music,,,probably won't be played during Sabres games either.

Association Football: using both feet to kick a ball = Feetball
American Football: using only 1 (one) foot to kick a ball = Football

c'mon guys it's simple

>lions play preseason game
>guess I'll watch the highlight reel
>it's entirely spent talking about the Browns and their new QB
>oh, and the Lions won 13-12
This bodes well.

I have a pic related, but I'm on my phone so some other time.

I have created an ESPN Pigskin Pick'em Group entitled Know Your Meme. If you want to join, you must make an ESPN account. Every week, I'll post the weekly results.

Crap, I forgot to post the link.

Michael Sam sacked Johnny Manziel. ESPN promptly came.

Unfortunately for them, I don't think Rams fans could give less of a fuck about that. Not since a Browns defender decided to hang off of Bradford like a heavy winter coat five seconds after he threw the goddamn ball.

Speaking of which, here's a quick journey into that man's mind right about now:

Yeah, poor Bradford. So much talent, but so vunerable to injuries.

…Holy shit, he's the Derrick Rose of the NFL.

Look, I know it's college and all, but
