I dont think it has anything to do with being presumptuous or self-involved

Considering that, with many teams, fans pay for the stadiums that the teams play in, and also the fact that those that attend games in fact do sometimes directly affect what happens on the field, and the fact that fans support these franchises and indirectly pay these people's salaries with merchandise and gate reciepts and TV deals, I dont think its all that ridiculous, when you own a jersey and go to games and watch your team on TV, to consider yourself a part of that team.

Particularly in the case of the Packers, where the fans literally pay the player's salaries.

I accept your view as valid, I just disagree. If you ever work hard and accomplish something difficult, then have someone not involved take credit you will fully understand how I view this subject. As a rabid Dodger fan who goes to at least 20 home games a year (minimum) owns jerseys and lots of memorabilia, I just never ever elevate myself to team member and refer to the Dodgers as 'mine' or 'we', its disrespectful of the actual effort they put forth and the work they do imo. If anything they own me, not the other way around.

I am the official water boy for the Denver Broncos (I get many appearances on television as well). I believe that this counts as being part of the team, for I contribute to their success. We would not be nearly as successful if i wasn't on the sidelines, working my ass of, making sure everyone is hydrated.

I completely agree with you this guy is their franchise, what if he had done permanent damage to his knee and could never play again. Wow for a wildcard playoff game that they were not going to win anyway. If they would have started Cousins they would have still been in the game they still would have lost but they would have a healthy RGIII for the start of next season. And Seattle could go into Atlanta and win that game, don't be surprised if they do they are very solid on both sides of the ball.

I think the worst thing that could have happened to them was the touchdown being upheld. If they had ruled it a fuimble the ball would have been spotted at the 1 inch line and the clock should have started, and they might have been able to run it down so Atlanta wouldn't have time to score. On the other hand, they could have played defense. Of course, then again, Atlanta could have kicked the ball off further than eleven yards. All things considered it was a sublime mix of good play and really screwy plays.

Other than you saying you want to see Colts vs. Broncos, I fail to see you predicting that. Unless it was all in your head.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

He wants to see horses play horses and birds play birds. He is a champion of intra-species football. No one denies this.

To be fair, a horse vs. a bird doesnt seem fair to the horse at all.

Depends if you are involved in a running game or a passing game.
