Nitro Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Anyone else watch that nailbiter of a game? SECOND BIGGEST COMEBACK IN NFL HISTORY!!!
Zargon Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 I missed the end of it, but I saw the Steelers come back and watched the packers get walloped by the Falcons
Jem Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 NFL?? I find Football boring. But not as boring as Soccer mind you. The following is a translation of this post for our fellow europeans, especially the British. NFL?? I find American Football boring. But not as boring as Football mind you.
Rogue Nine Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Thank you, Jem. The Niners really got a jolt in the second half. Everyone thought the game was put away and the Niners were all helpless. Then Jeff Garcia swaggers in and starts throwing the ball everywhere and Terrell Owens is there, doing next to everything to keep San Fran alive. If it wasn't for the man-to-man matchup they had on Owens with that overrated Jason Sehorn, the Niners probably would've been as good as done. But now they've got the Bucs to contend with next week. This should be interesting.
Jabba The Hunt Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 !!!WARNING I am using the ENGLISH language in this post not the American language!!! (I'll also assume your idea of football is similar to Rugby) Now I've said that I'm not to sure what the point of this post was in the first place...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 My dad's upset about the Browns. they looked real promising this season. but i was more upset about teh damned Jets winning, knocking the DOlphins out. damned them DAMN THEM ALL!!!!
Rogue Nine Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Stupid Jets. I hate the Jets. HATESSSSSSSSS...
Jem Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 The only thing I know about the Dolphins is in Pet Detective as for the Jets, all I can think of is Fallout.
Ikhnaton Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 i'm pissed that the browns lost and the 9ers won
edlib Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 The Pats played thier best game of the season, coming back from almost certain defeat in the last 5 minutes of the game, only to be disqualified from the playoffs later that afternoon. We are not amused.
Rogue Nine Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Y'all sucked all the sports karma out of Boston with that Super Bowl win. Now the Bruins, the Celts and especially the Red Sox will have to wait another twenty or so years.
Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 The Niners have always been my fave squad... I've idolized Joe Montana and Jerry Rice since I was a kid, and when my uncle moved to Palo Alto (not too far from San Fran), the deal was sealed.
Rogue Nine Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 I've always wondered why you spell it that way, Andy.
Nute Gunray Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Cuz that's haw we say stillers in picksburgh. im gonna head dahntahn to get me some permanee's sammiches and cash ma unimploymint check and head over ta pants n'at with dawnie i-arse. Afer that we goin dahnareena to see the pens game. For those that don't speak that language: Because that's how we say steelers in pittsburgh. I'm going to head downtown to get some Primanti sandwiches and cash my unemployment check and head over to Pants 'n At (doesn't actually exist) with Donnie Iris. After that we're going down to the mellon arena to watch the penguins game. we can't talk
Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 Nute, that's just about the funniest thing I've read all day.
Nute Gunray Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 http://www.pittsburghese.com/ Sadly, people actually talk like that around here. It makes me weep at night. Andy and I can talk at least coherent. Yesterday's football game was awesome.
Rogue Nine Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 I dunno. Are you guys as bad as "Bahstinians"? (Bostonians)
Nute Gunray Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 I'd wager that Boston is a pathetic tick next to the blue whale sized juggernaut of western PA's pseudolanguage.
edlib Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Actually, there are several dialects of what people think of as "Bostonian." It seems to get divided among neighborhoods, as well as somewhat along class lines. There's "Bramin" Bostonian, which is the upscale, classy, rich, old-time "Proper" Beacon Hill Boston accent... and then there's the "Southie" style Bostonian, which is the blue collar accent. There's several variations on each of these, depending on what part of town you are from. Doesn't matter much anyway anymore... the population of Boston more than doubles whenever college is in session, and most of the people who live and work here are originally from somewhere else anyways, so it's kind of rare these days to meet someone with a true Boston accent.
Zargon Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 it gets pretty bad over here wit them south chi-cha-go-ans around, they have alot of problems, but near me its mostly hicks
Ikhnaton Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Nute hit the nail on the head with the picksburghese. having attended college for 2 years only 45 mins from the Arn City, i heard a lot of it. I shop at Pants n'at.
Nute Gunray Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 In my experience, most places just say things differently, like the Bostonian R dropping. But Pittsburgh took time out of it's busy schedule of losing population and taxing people to invent new words and condense entire sentences into a three words or less. Examples: yinz = you (singular or plural) and "yinz goin dahnastrip" = "Are you going down to the Strip District?" PS Ike - What college? All the ones I can think of are either less than 45 minutes out or more. It wasn't California University was it?
Andromeda Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 i actually dont' really have any sort of a pittsburgheze accent...it's just that if you like the steelers you have to say it that way or you're not a true fan. one of my friends lives in pittsburgh and she says things like "windy's" instead of wendy's, and "still meal" instead of steel mill, and she mell's letters instead of mailing them, etc. you can tell a person is from western pa in about 2 seconds if you've heard it before.
