So much talent, so much Jerry Jones

I raise you Ralphie Wiggum...I mean Mark Davis for long suffering football Fandom and team owners.

LOL. Vikings fan here. Your definition of long suffering is cute.

ajohnsocyber.bsky.social•201 days ago

It’s been almost 30 years for me and almost 40 years for my S/O but yes - ummm - the Vikings. Thanks for the assist on the 90s!!!

Try being a long suffering Bears and Manchester United fan. And when I watched rugby for some solace, England were beaten in consecutive weeks by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Maybe I'm an albatross . . .

Oh dear -

As a Commanders fan watching the game today, begrudgingly: nice... game...

ajohnsocyber.bsky.social•201 days ago

Commanders are better than expected this season - could be building something real. And I hate them less than the Eagles - so there is that.

vcsjones.dev•201 days ago

"hate them less than the Eagles" seems like common ground a lot of people share. Definitely feel that.

Can confirm rugby is awesome.
If you want consistent winners, please don’t pick England!

The New Zealand All Blacks are consistently good to watch. I grew up watching them so am slightly biased. The 2024 season ended yesterday unfortunately.

I tried to watch rugby for a short period of time. The rules are difficult without someone to assist. I took note because AU had a cute player (shallow I know/Adam A-C) that I saw in a commercial. It was a fun and tough sport - two things I love.

Some of the newer off side rules puzzle me. Not as much as the new NFL kickoff rules though. Rugby is a tough sport but injuries are generally not as bad as football. The lack of space age padding and helmets helps a lot. And grass

Genuinely laughed out loud reading that last line.
