Yeah I get caught out by it too, I've been trying to write packers instead. but its hard to try and remember that :)

I tend to write Packers more than Green Bay as well so that makes it more of a rookie error for me.

Let's open this up to the callers, what teams do you refer to the city more than the nickname or vice versa?

Personally in the NBA, I never call the Oklahoma City Thunder 'The Thunder'. You have to say the whole name.

I abbreviate it to OKC or the The faces team...
San fran is always the whiners, or those pieces of plopcicles or... well you get the picture 😆
Always the Wolves for the Timberwolves, Rams, never LA...
Thinking about it, Denver is one I prob use Denver more than Broncos, Jets and giants over NY,

I think I'm more a nickname sort of guy

OKC is more than acceptable. Just never 'Thunder'.

The Forty-whiners has always been a good one and true in some cases.

Seattle fans use to use it a lot and 'She-hawks' was always a fun response before.. you know.

Yeah I would probably say Denver more, possibly Kansas City too. NFL is definitely a nickname sport.

Emmanwori supposedly hurt his Ankle in training today, walked off but is getting a MRI. even if its ok, its prob going to be sore for Sunday (monday), If it affects his turning then that would be huge.

Rams vs Niners at the G

Dukes up @Gorgoroth

The bitterest rivalry in the NFC West is coming down under!

Its either going to be the greatest day of my life or the bloody worse! And like So-Fi I expect to be outnumbers 80-1

On the flip side it could get a lot more new fans into the Rams.

It's gonna be great, this sport in this city!

We've come a long way from being the only kids in school with Madden 94 on Sega Megadrive 😊

Stafford in year 17 is your MVP

JSN OPOY over Nacua which I do not agree with but knew they would go that way even tho Puka was better.

STAFFORD IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!!

Bring on the new year with #9 under centre as we head to the SB at So-Fi!!!!!

Fantastic match-up for the game in Melbourne. A lot of the overseas games are ordinary line-ups but not this one

Tickets won't be cheap though. You'll have to pay a premium price. I'm betting the game will be a sellout, all the same

That's more expensive than I was expecting... And I'm in Scandinavia in July to mid Aug so I might not even get a ticket

Grats to Matt. Great season and well deserved.

Patriots 1 - 6.

Patriots 23 Seahawks 20

Drake Maye MVP

Seahawks 20 - Pats 10

MVP DeMarcus Lawrence

MVP - Sam Darnold ! (wouldn't that be something)

Seahawks 13+

Pats 1-6

Seahawks have been my SB pick for the past couple of months.

But the Pats have been blessed all year. Beau Nix going down was a huge slice of luck. They seem destined.

I'm looking forward to a great game

HAPPY SB DAY!!!

May all our bets come to fruition!!!

Happy Superbowl day lads. Enjoy the day
