The old vs. the new
 

It looks like my old hometown - Phila. PA will be battling my new home - New England ! How totally cool is that. I spoke to my sister and informed her that the Pats will be kickin' the "Iggles' " butts! :laugh:

Woooooo HOOOOOOOOO!

Woo-Hoo
 

Troublemaker!
 

Grant, you troublemaker, you!
:D

Who?
 

Steelers? Are they still around??????????????????????

It sure is funny......
 

Everytime I post a thread about sports, it gets bumped......what about freedom of speech? I thought New Hampshire was the live free or die state. I am beginning to think my threads are not welcome here, is it because I am not a local? Congratulations Patriots fans.......and......welcome to the terror dome....it should be a good game, but my money is on the E.A.G.L.E.S......EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Technically the forum isn’t supposed to have politics or sports. People get more than a bit passionate about both. Besides, you’re an Eagle’s fan! :eek:
New England is our team, and they rule! :laugh:

This forum is dedicated to the Lakes Region! It is not a sports forum.

Sorry Don - In the excitement of the moment - momentary mind loss!

Oops
 

Uh...I meant BALD Ealges! Yeah, that's it. Nice birds. Wish I could see one. :D

Yeah Glennsteely,

I tried to comment on the game last week and it got bumped, then I reread the FAQs. Not complaining though. The rules are why this is a great forum, the rules keep it clean and focussed. Sports, politics and bike week discussions can get ugly quick if not for our webmaster...

Go pats...... :D

E - A - G - L - E - S
 

I love New Hampshire, so my second favorite team is the Patriots, but sorry, gotta root for the hometown on this one. Plus, you already got a championship this year with the Red Sox. Don't be greedy, now. Spread the wealth.

Keeping to the rules
 

In keeping with the “Forum rules”,,,

Is there a good sports bar in the Wolfboro area where a person living in, going to, dreaming of being at Lake Winnipesaukee” can go and see the PATS beat the Eagles?? :D

Sorry Don, just had to do it. ;)

ToW

Don't get me wrong, no one is a bigger Patriots and Red Sox fan than me. It's just that this forum has always been completely dedicated to the Lake Region and I prefer to keep it that way. When I've taken polls and asked if I should allow politics or other unrelated issues in the answer has always been a resounding NO.

The way I've handled it over the past few years is to allow a single thread when the teams get to or win the championship. I'll let this thread go so please limit Patriots talk to this thread.

ToW has found the perfect way to connect the Superbowl to the Lakes Region. Information about places in the Lakes Region to watch the game or attend a Super Bowl party are certainly relevant and allowable.

Don

OK here's one that should relate. How many of you have seen or know of Pats, Sox, coachedor players who have places at the lake or have seen any of them up here. I used to see Charlie Weiss(sp?) all the time at Heath's in Ctr. Harbor but haven't the last few summers.

Sorry I only know of the Jets Athletic Director being at the lake all summer until early August. I have seen his boat.

A Bruins player had a place on Rattlesnake many years ago but I cannot remember his name.

There has to be one or two current New England sports people on the lake.

Thanks Don for your "exemption" this year...Seems kinda special with the Sox and the Pats lining up to be champs the same year.And I do agree with past polls...that's what makes this forum so great and focused. But..........go Pats!!!!!!

Bruin near Rum Pt.
 

There's a Bruin (former), whose name escapes me at the moment, who has a place over by Rum Pt. Scott from Dive Winni pointed it out last summer.

Now this is going to bug me until I remember who it is (which will certainly occur @ 3 AM).

Lots of Eagles sighted around the Lake, judging from posts to the forum. This is a good thing. A very good thing. I love Eagles. And I consider myself a Patriot. This does not make me schizo... :D

Steve Leach maybe?

Patrick's, in Gilford
 

"Great place to watch the Super Bowl" !

(((((((((( GO PATS ))))))))))

:) :) :) :)

Does Patrick's get real smokey?

Friends saw Pat Burns of the Bruins at the Broken Spoke.

>>Plus, you already got a championship this year with the Red Sox. Don't be greedy, now.

>>Seems kinda special with the Sox and the Pats lining up to be champs the same year.

Chris, Upthesaukee, How quickly we forget! :-) It's already been done. That was last year! 2004 - Pat's win Super Bowl in February. Sox win Series in October. Now we're just setting up for a repeat in 2005!

We watched most of the Sox games and playoffs at the lake with friend and neighors. Perhaps we'll need to go to one of those Lakes Region bars to watch the Super Bowl. (one for Don)

Go Pats!

I have read the rules......
 

BUT, I see other people do it and it is ok, I do it and bump time! It just seems a little partial, borderline discrimination even. I guess its a New Jersey thing, and I am from New Jersey, and I am an EAGLES fan, for life, and I guess that makes me a low life on this forum......but, I am sorry to say, the only rings you are going to see from this game are the bells that Brady is going to be hearing when Brian Dawkins puts the mash on him in the pocket, he wont be seeing rings, but hearing them, what he will be seeing is little birdies.....oh, would they be EAGLES? Or, maybe he will be seeing stars.....there are enough pro-bowl players in our secondary for him to be seeing stars, everywhere he looks......there, I have said my say, and really, I just hope for a good, clean game of football, where no one gets hurt, that we can all enjoy.

I love you guys, and I wish the pats the best of luck, but I still hope we win.............Glenn


Go Eagles! :D

Glen: I understand before the game the players will be comparing rings. Lets see one, two and for the Eagles? oops sorry!!! :laugh:

You can't be serious. I can't beleive glensteely beleives what he is saying.The Eagles are going to stomp on the Defending Superbowl champs who have 1: Just humiliated the best offensive team in the league and 2: just blew out the best defense in the league.They can beat you any way you play.On the other hand,Philly has played a very weak NFC and the in the playoffs have beaten two pretty average teams.Lastly,by the way the Eagles were celebrating,they won their Superbowl last week.Can you say DYNASTY!!!

I Can Say Die Nasty, If That Is What You Mean....
 

DYNASTY IS THE COWBOYS IN THE 90'S I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT THERE YET!!!!! I am also sorry to say that the rings they will be comparing before the superbowl will be ring tones on nokia phones......you will see, my friends.......when Brady takes that first hit, when one of our squad gets through that weak and undersized offensive line of yours, and I say one because you never know who it will be, Dawkins, Trotter, maybe The Freak.....M. Lewis, Dhani Jones......it comes from everywhere, all angles, every cleat hole in the field will have an Eagle popping up, looking at Brady, ready to clean his clock and make him hear his own version of AC/DC's Hell's Bells. Not in our house is your teams motto, but we are not playing in your house, and even though we are meeting in Florida, I am sorry to say.....it is our turn. We will beat the Pats and when we do, expect to never hear the end of it from me.

By the way, the colts, while having their strong points, were not the best offensive team this year, in stats, maybe, but you know, if you know anything about football that if they were the best....they would be there....Same thing for the steelers, the best defense? Get real. stats again I guess, numbers do lie and lie often, they couldnt make it in the play offs with a rookie qb, even if he is the best rookie qb to come out of the draft in a long time, it is too much pressure for a guy with no experience in the big games.....Brady is a target for Jim Johnson and the boys.....we will show you the best defense in the nfl, your teams so called die nasty is suspect brother. Glenn

What's this WE stuff?
 

;)

glennsteely,

You got a mouse in your pocket???

Don't give me this 12th fan in the stand stuff, the field is basically neutral. What position do you play? Can’t wait to see you on the field. :rolleye1:

But you are an Eagles fan and that’s good with me. :)

As I sit in the sports bar in wolfboro watching the PATS beat the Eagles I’ll be looking for you to make the play of the game. :D

ToW

Now that was funny
 

Thanks for the laugh. Here I was coming to work 2'nd shift, facing a snowstorm to drive home in next AM and then there was your post to lighten my day. Your talent for balderdash is refreshing, bravo, well done ! I'm disheartened to see you so sorry but then again what else could be expected, you're rooting for the wrong team. :laugh: As for the dynasty bit you are correct but the operative word is yet. Dynasty now .... no; after this SuperBowl ... yes. ;)

Dynasty...Appropriate IF...
 

If the Pats win this year, and on paper they should, then they've officially earned the "dynasty" label.

And I say this as a lifelong Eagles fan.

However, Pats fans and fellow Lakelovers, keep in mind that the Pats started this "dynasty run" by entering their first Super Bowl as a 14 point underdog.

And, as we know, when it's a single game, anything can (and often does) happen.

Just my $.02...your mileage may vary. My last comments on Pats/Iggles.

Go Red Sox.

RG, Not at all.
 

Try it, you will love it!.... I think that they have more none smokers than any place around the Lake.... If you visit and do not agree, tell them about it!
trfour

Buy the way, Pat's are better than six point favorites, going in.

:) :) :) :)

Who's the 1
 

I see 1 vote for the IGGLEs in the poll. I wonder who could that be? "Nudge, Nudge know what I mean?"

well, I just voted, so now there is 2.....
 

Well lets play reply time, you guys are right, I live for this stuff, and there is no one who does it better than me, I love to talk trash, right up in your face trash about sports.....FOOTBALL!!! This is my favorite time of year, the time when the weak get weaker and the strong get stronger......the play offs.....and you guys have to realize, I have been waiting for this since 1980. Not to change my tune, but I dont want anyone catching feelings about my comments, I am just trying to start &$&# and have a little fun. As for the WE comment, no I dont play for the team, I couldnt fit in the salary cap this year, with the addition of T.O. and all......hahaha! :D

So, back to the game at hand.....save your tears and tissues, for the upset game of the year, and as cold as its been up there...you might want to get some ice melt to keep your lips from freezing to your face........crying the blues will be an understatement, in this game of games....from defense to defense, goal post to goal post, from the lakes region to the sunny beaches of calif for ni a, the whole world will hear your cries of shame, just slightly louder than Brady's cries of pain........ :laugh:

As I sit in work in Philadelphia...the Eagles will choke :eek: Seen it too many times before.


Pats 42
Birds 10

Could it be that the Eagles will also be running around in Squares or Circles, like someone's avatar??????? :D Sorry Glenn, couldn't resist it!!!!

Cowboys were a dynasty in the 90's? Well, lets think about this a minute. When the Patriots broke the record for the most consecutive wins (over twenty) it was what, a thirty something year old record? The math just doesn't figure 2004 minus 1990???? Stats being what they may you just do not accomplish what this team has riding on luck. This win streak by the way was accomplished with a constant two (or three) starters out for many of the games.

Oh, and the head coaches appearing in the superbowl? Lets not even go there! The eagles personal can't even carry the Pats towels.

Call me foolish but I'm calling it a blowout - two touchdowns at least, no three point game this year. Need I say who my monies on? :rolleye2:

Poor Glensteely...He's going to be joining Manning,Roethlsberger and McNabb for therapy. Poor McNabb....he's so confused,can't even decide which hair style he wants for the big game

GlennSteely your tag line says it all!
 

Hey all! this is my first post. And in the spirit of smash mouth football and playfull trash talking, I must say Glenn, your tag line says it all! I think you stopped to think and forgot to start again! If you seriously believe the Eagles have a chance to win the big game you are out of your mind. Now I know it's football and ANYTHING can happen, but something will have to go horribly wrong for the Pats to lose this game. Donovan took 4 NFC Championship games to actually advance. He IS Great! BUT, the Pats have a few things tiping the scales in their favor. 1) A Far superior coach 2) Experience 3) Better Offense 4) A good defense (not better than Philly, but enough to Slow the Eagle attack).

Also, keep in mind in successive weeks that Pats managed to humiliate the BEST offense in the NFL and the BEST defense in the NFL.

Finally, regarding for T.O.'s possible active status, don't fall for it. it's a smoke screen.

Other than that, SEE YOU ON THE ICE! Heading up to scout out for the derby this weekend!

GREEN with Envy...
 

Glenn, my Philly-Lake brother, I'm here with ya!

Latest G2 is that the Myerson statement was strictly CYA and the Fat Man will make the ultimate decision regarding TO's play/no-play -- which will come down to two issues: 1) can he cut and run; and 2) will his presence *hurt* the offense? Plain and simple. His agent was at NovaCare yesterday after they returned from Baltimore, and the only reason for that is for a discussion re: what if he re-injures it? Can't be contract-related, as he's on the hook for another year guaranteed and another 1-2 optional beyond. Regardless, we have two great pre-Bowl drama news stories here now -- Thomason from a Toll Bros. construction site to the end zone in J'ville, and TO's leg.

Okay, now I've broken my own vow to steer clear of any more Bowl talk.

So, how's the ice on the Lake? How deep's the snow??

;)

Umm. . .
 

I seem to miss the lake, whether its GOing to Wolfeboro, where I like to PAT my dog becuaSe she is so SUPER! She really enjoys drinking the lake water from a makeshift BOWL that was once a margerine container! She will always be my CHAMP. Can't wait to see the lake in 2005!

LOL! :) :)
