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...

Since both teams got paid quite well, I'm of the mind that the ticket purchasers were the real losers. ;)

There's a cultural gap here, so allow me to elaborate. The attached image should exemplify what your american games look like to europeans.

 

Point being, we just don't get it. :)

 

PS: Sorry for the shameless rip-off, Daniel. ;)

49ers are the best team in the NFL. Sorry, I had to lol. Die hard 9er fan. Seahawks aren't all that great. The real super bowl was two weeks ago. Don't mind me though, I just love my team.

All I can surmise is that it's a bunch of naked guys looking to play grabass- I wasn't taking any chances on clicking. Such was my perception. ;)

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

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..

I knew what you meant in your first attempt at least I thought you were saying “stop there otherwise casualties” on the other hand it’s a card of horror that doesn’t fit any example other than name.

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.

images of what looks like gay porn

 

LOLWUT? Sorry that my attempt at self-deprecating humor upset you that much, but seriously, i have not the slightest idea why you would make such a fuss.

 

Your post was indeed collateral damage. There i brought it back, feel better now?
