Help! Help! My professional reputation lies squarely in your hands!

Guys, I'm in trouble! Apparently our office does not do the sane and true office-thing of having a hockey pool, but does a FOOTBALL POOL. Like, American football, not soccer-football.

*stricken-face*

If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to name five football teams, regardless of their relative merits, I would have to say... the Packers?

If you're looking for an underdog team to root for, there's always the 'Seattle Seahawks'. That's where my Mum is from, so it's the team I kinda follow. They have a cool helmet, and pretty silver & blue uniforms. :D?

[strangecreature]

They appear to be playing... whoever the San Francisco team is first! *researches* Hokay, they're playing the 49ers and you beat Liza's pro-49ers comment, so I shall circle the Seahawks for that one. *G*

Thankage!! XD

[stratospherique]

49ers! 49ers! 49ers! Or the Raiders, in a pinch.

San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, New York Giants. There.

[strangecreature]

Ooh, but 49ers are playing the Seahawks first and morebliss beat you to the comment there! *G* I'm literally just going down the list and circling your teams where they're not playing each other, yo. MY TRUST LIES IN LIZA! XD

HOW DID I FORGET THE BUFFALO BILLS? THEY WERE MY SCHOOL-CITY TEAM. BUFFALO. BUFFALOOOO NOW I AM HOMESICK AGAIN.

[strangecreature]

Excellent! We shall cheer them to victory overrrr... *checks*... the Dolphins on Saturday! (They're actually called the Buffalo Bills? That's pretty fantastic right there!)

[apiphile]

There's one called the Saints and their song is WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN and they say WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA BEAT THE SAINTS and the entire reason I know this is because our LRG B-team are called the Brawl Saints and we stole their chant. xD

Why don't they have a rollerderby pool like REAL humans?

[stratospherique]

New Orleans! Because they made this huge thing last year or the year before about them being in the Super Bowl because it was a rebirth or something after Katrina and Green Day was involved somehow.

[jencendiary]

Also, it was a big damn deal because New Orleans hasn't won a championship ever. EVER. Great town. Terrible football.

[strangecreature]

Bwah! Well, if Green Day approves... XD

[killerweasel]

The ones-who-wear-cheese-hats? lmao that would be the Packers (Green Bay, Wisconsin) btw.

I'd say the Detroit Lions, except the Lions haven't been good in um... ever. :P

http://www.nfl.com/teams there's a list of the teams and their symbols.

[strangecreature]

Awww, hypothetical!me would've been shot even sooner! XD

Oh, dude, thank you. *bookmarks* That'll be helpful!

[jencendiary]

I'm a fan of the Packers & any team that beats the hell out of the Vikings.

[strangecreature]

I've got Packers circled, and Vikings are playing... *checks*... New Orleans first, who I've also got circled! That worked out well! *g* The rest of these I may have to do randomly.

[jencendiary]

This has nothing to do with the way the Pack plays, of course. I worked once-upon-a-time as a bartender, and nobody tips like drunken Packers fans. Even when they're losing.

[strangecreature]

Awww!! Man, that's a good reason in my books!
