OK i know its a Hibs forum but heres a thought. Who among us likes the NFL? I like it and for obvious reasons support the GREEN BAY PACKERS. What if any do do other Hibees support.
Heres another thought ( must be the bevy i`m on ;D) do anyone do the fantasy football... Maybe if there is enough of us we could have a wager or 2 on the outcome....say $20 a head.... we could also do the fantasy with The Weegie press for next season As i said ...just a thought..... got to keep the site operating as its all very very quiet. ye cannie aw be oan holiday. ;D

NFL, yes. Cleveland Browns -- my wife's from up that way.
Fantasy football -- count me in. I played Yahoo's EPL game this past season.

OK guys the NFL league is set up. Its a private League for us. We need 12 teams.. Live draft on August 15th at 8.30 pm ET... thought that time would be best for all. You will need a password to get into the league so let me know if you are interested.... The league is called Hibernian 1875 but as i say you`ll need that password.
It costs nowt to enter. BUT we will be playing for $20 a head winner take all. No welchers please ;D P.S. you don`t have to be logged on to NFL site on draft day if you can`t make it ...it will pick the team for you automatically

usahibee:
I can never pay attention long enough to fantasy leagues. Heck I kept on forgetting to make my weekly picks for football, basketball, etc., to do those. But have fun with it if it gets going.
But you bring up something I've been meaning to ask. Why do all you Brits love the Packers? You in particular? One of the Hibs announcers had on a Dallas Stars sweater on--same colors as the Packers. Is the obviousness the colors? Is it the cold-as-sh*te weather up there that reminds of Alba?
As for the NFL, this is the year the Broncos go to the Super Bowl led by a (God help us) quarterback from Tennessee. At least he's Commodore and not a Vol!

bhmhibby....The reason i made the Packers my team was because i knew nothing about American Football ;D Seriously it was because of the name GREEN... at the time it seemed an obvious choice being a Hibs man. You see here in MS the college team MSU play in Maroon...so i dinnae like them ;D As for other brits ... i can only think that when Channel 4 (tv station over there) started showing your football maybe Favre was winning the Super Bowl i think that was 1995 . I do like American football though and my good lady is a Steelers fan. Now as for the Broncos .... come on.... still... made me laugh ;D They have as much chance as the Packers...NANE But as you are a Hibee you will know about the Holy Grail and the dreams we all share....GGTTH

usahibee: Your reasoning for being a Packers fan makes sense to me! I became a hibby mostly because of Marillion/Fish so go figure! Maybe subconciously it was the "Hy-bees" pennant on the wall in "Trainspotting." Either way I'm green now too. ;D
Good call on the Bulldogs. Having family ties to Wesson/Brookhaven, the only school in MS is the University.
As for the Broncos, the team is too stacked not make it least to the conference final! I would put Bailey, Lynch, and Bly on your fantasy league teams. Also put Cutler and Travis Henry on without fanfare or too much advertising. I have a feeling those two are going to have amazing years--Cutler because he's Cutler and Henry because he's coming into a system where every running back since T-Davis earns 1500 yards a season or so.
Glory Glory, the quest for silver starts in 3 weeks. I'll take a double helping this year please ;D

usahibee: OK you've talked me into it. Pls send me a PM with the details. Maybe I'll make it easy for myself and just pick the Broncos's starting line-up as the bulk of my team!
