ED Team NineLine Posted February 4, 2014 ED Team Posted February 4, 2014 It's not winning or losing, but how you play the game. But, of course many of you here are American, so most of you won't have a clue what I'm talking about. Sad to say. The original quote about winning or losing came from an American sports writer, so more Americans than you might think know what you are talking about, at least in this instance...

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

lunaticfringe Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 You know what? Let me break it down for you Euro/Russo-types: There was a game of American football played this past Sunday, February 2nd, in East Rutherford, NJ. Here it's referred to as the Super Bowl. In this game there were two teams: the Seattle Seahawks (eventual winners of the contest), and the Denver Broncos. The latter team was quarterbacked by a player by the name of Peyton Manning. Now, Mr. Manning is reputed by many to be the best quarterback of his generation (whilst having failed at a 66.6% clip in the Playoffs, including his performances in the Super Bowl, being the National Football League's championship game), and had much support. Prior to this weekend's contest, Mr. Manning had made a show of using the word "Omaha" in part of the pre-snap cadence call; a "snap" is when a player known as a center "hikes" (propels between his legs) the football to initiate the offensive play. The word gained much popularity over the last few weeks, and was even part of generating substantial dollars for charity, hence it's notoriety. However, when it came to the big game, Manning used the term "Omaha" only a limited number of snaps, with at least one pass after the usage of the cadence having been intercepted (that is, thrown towards a player of his side, yet caught by one from the other), resulting in a touchdown (the scoring of six points) for the Seahawks, and causing great embarrassment. Subsequently, the "Omaha" reference in the attached meme graphic is a joke on Peyton Manning's inability to get it done in crunch time, whereas the men who stormed Omaha beach achieved victory in their endeavor. And it was "'Nuff Said", because the premise was a matter of embarrassment on the part of the player. A thread entitled "Omaha" about American football gets a picture about a location code-named Omaha that makes fun of an American football player, and folks who have no frame of reference get antsy. Interesting. Next time there's a bandy or cricket topic, I'll be certain to crash the party.
sobek Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 images of what looks like gay porn LOLWUT?
