Only if you can stand not wearing a costume or wearing foolish amounts of silver and black body paint!

What if I throw in a little red body paint and do the dirty bird while wearing my spiked shoulder pads?

However, every single game I attended this season, save the loss to the Jets, was among the most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. And I still had fun at the Jets game, just not as much. Sunday's game was far and away the best I've ever been to in terms of atmosphere. Lots of Steelers fans came out of the woodwork to wave their towels; most of them were hiding under them at the end of the game.

I was at the Jets game too, lets not talk about that one. I really don't care what ESPN thinks. The best team in football is in Nashville.

I have a few dogs in the fight!

* Miami with a win Sunday over the Yets will give them a division title (quite a difference from last year's 1-15)

* Atlanta/Roddy - Congrats

* Denver with a win over the Largers will put them into the playoffs (would be great for Hack!)

Should be an interesting Sunday afternoon

I always root for the Falcons to lose.

GO BILLS! *sigh*

Yeah, but none of your teams are PERFECT! 0-15, GO LIONS! Go for 0-16.

Meh, I suppose that's not too out-there. Just remember, Georgia Dome even staffers have more of a hair trigger on in-stands goofiness than they allow in Oakland Coliseum, so watch your behavior.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Detroit is moving to the CFL's Eastern division?

No, MAC West.

I'll leave the skulls of my defeated enemies at home, in that case.

Never!
Besides the falcons have only beat us once in the past 3 years. And that win coming this year. (That would be a record of 1-5 children)
So yeah this year was a little bit of a disappointment but with all the injuries we've had we still only missed the playoffs by a couple of games.
Next year is going to be awesome if everyone can stay healthy.

NFC South=
Hands down the strongest division in the NFL

Just keep repeating that mantra when you're sitting at home watching Roddy and the Falcons in the playoffs.

Lose in the 1st round

Hate to say I told you so...

+1. I turned into a Titans fan when they moved to Tennessee from Houston, and stuck with them ever since. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to watch them in person.

Just make sure you don't try to abbreviate their name, especially in mixed company. Bad results.

I became an avid Titans fan when my buddy went to work for them. We get tickets every now and then, but we have to pay face value for them. He gets them from the players that do not use their alotment of tickets.

There are Steeler fans in the woodwork everywhere. When the Houston Oilers/Titans left Houston, they were scheduled to play in Memphis for two years before moving to Nashville (waiting on the stadium to be built) It was a PR nightmare. Players and coaches spent no time in Memphis and even came in on gameday, so Memphis never took to them.

When the Oilers/Titans played Pittsburgh, the Steeler fans (mostly Memphians) outnumbered the fans of the "home" team, and Bud Adams was so mad, he left Memphis a year early and played at Vanderbilt's stadium a year early.

Most Memphians were happy to see them go since they treated the city so shabbily. You generallly find an anti Titan bias in Memphis as a result.

Bud Adams is a powder blue leisure suit wearing tool. I hope his hemorrhoids get inflamed and then he gets constipated. I was a huge Oilers fan, I got a right to say all sorts of bad stuff about him. Don't even get me started on that... nevermind.
