My second team is the Bears. I’m twitchy in terms of a full switch.

    Normally on The Athletic a WAS article will get 15-30 comments. The new name is currently 377 - it is getting panned something awful

    Not common to see a three plus syllable team name that doesn’t have some sort of inherent nickname.

    • 49ers = 9ers

    • Jaguars = Jags

    • Buccaneers = Bucs

    • Patriots = Pats

    What is going to be happening here? You have the three clap Comm👏🏼and 👏🏼ers👏🏼 but that’s about it. SAD!

    the fact that it’s actually worse than “football team” after 2 years with a billion dollar company behind the marketing is astounding. snyder is a clown.

    Along_the_Wire My second team is the Bears. I’m twitchy in terms of a full switch.

    Well, moving allegiance to Chicago teams would be the obvious ‘protest’ switch, given that the Blackhawks seem to be holding out changing their name and logo.

      A lot of money even if it is a superb owl.

      It’s no Champions League final.

      That really is the creme de la creme.

        I’m on a night shift later so will tune to this, absolutely no idea what’s going on but hopefully it will be entertaining

          Rams big favourites. But I’ve been on the Bengals for a while now - well coached second half team - 20-17 in a comeback thriller for the Bengals. Don’t like it when a team like the Rams buy a season like they did.

          I don’t like AFC teams generally, but want them to get one.

            Rams just aren’t playing great, but my worry is they bring it, especially their front defensive four against a shabby OL

            Along_the_Wire I dunno - I quite enjoy the ’win now or we’re fucked’ narrative. Adds some extra pressure and tension on the Rams…

              If they can protect Burrow I fancy the Bengals.

              Hopefully at some point during the game Jaylen Ramsey will get merked.

              You need the patience of a saint to watch this game
