[GOPisEvil]

There was no winner in the previous election, so the top 3 finishers will move on to a runoff election.

1. Dammit...there are no good options here

I'm a Cowboys fan born and bred...I can't in good conscience let you root for the Steelers or the Packers and well, the Vikings...I mean really. Oh well, I'm gonna sit here and wait to see if I can play spoiler.

[GOPisEvil]

2. I'm kind of wishing there's no clear winner this time either.

But at some point we're going to have to declare a winner.

[VelmaD]

3. I'm afriad to comment at this point...

don't want to jinx it.

[HawkerHurricane]

4. It can't be the Pack and the Vikes...

same division, same conference... a little spread, please.

[GOPisEvil]

5. I'm sorry...the voters have spoken.

Unlike Republicans I will not subvert the democratic process. :)

[HawkerHurricane]

9. If I were to vote...

I'd vote for the Packers. A truely liberal team. But, since the original poll didn't include any team I'd vote for FIRST, I'm sitting this one out.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Sorry...I just picked 10 teams.

The thing is, there will be another opportunity next season.

[HawkerHurricane]

11. I will bookmark this thread...

and if one of my teams makes the big one, I will rub your nose in the fact you didn't put them in the original poll.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Mockery will be anticipated and deserved.

:)

[HawkerHurricane]

13. My problem is...

I am not a bandwagon fan. A fair weather fan, maybe. I have the team I have rooted for since I was old enough to steal my father's beer, and my adopted home town's team... but I don't cheer for anyone else. I admire other teams... the Pack, Da Bears, the New Yawk Nyets... but I only cheer for one (and the other).

[GOPisEvil]

15. Well, I was a hardcore Houston Oilers fan.

When they left me high and dry, I decided to become a Ronin NFL fan. I pick a new team to follow every year. Not that I become a rabid fan, but I follow the team, and cheer for their success. :)

[HawkerHurricane]

20. I tried to transfer my loyalty...

to my adopted home town, but it didn't really take.

My team abandoned me, but I won't abandon them.

Blue and Gold.

6. When are you ending the runoff?

I need to know how long I have to make a decision.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Noon, EDT, tomorrow, August 2, 2005.

That's 11, our time.

[VelmaD]

8. I suppose I better go ahead then...

since I'll be on the road tomorrow. I suppose I can flip a coin or something :)

14. What's this? No Niners 'cause they suck now?

[GOPisEvil]

16. I had an original thread and picked 10 teams mentioned there.

Then those ten were winnowed down to these 3. SF will have another chance next year.

[HawkerHurricane]

21. They always sucked.

Sometimes they won lots of games, but they still sucked.

I never met a 40whiner fan until the 1980's.

Now they won't go away.

[DrGonzoLives]

17. Packers!

Renounce the Viking scum. Go Pack!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

19. Yeah! What He Said!

More cheese?

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. Go Stillers!!!!

:bounce:

[Robeson]

22. What a bogus poll thus far. Everyone knows the Vikings will dominate.

And I am completely unbiased with that opinion...:-)

[RummyTheDummy]

23. Stay away from the Squeelers

Don't jump on tha bandwagon while Bill Cowher is coaching. He'll break your heart. He's the consumate choker.

[GOPisEvil]

24. You have until noon, edt today to vote.

:kick:

[GOPisEvil]

25. Oh, good lord...

:P

[GOPisEvil]

26. OK...POLLS CLOSED!!!

Forget it, I'm drawing names out of a hat!

x(

[JRob]

27. I can't vote for any of these...

[GOPisEvil]

28. Polls are closed anyway.

I'm just picking at random. Announcement to follow soon.

[LynneSin]

29. So if I send you a case of these would you support the Eagles?

[GOPisEvil]

30. Hmmm...Velma offered homemade brownies last night.

That was just for me not picking the Packers. If I chose the Eagles, she would kill me.

Hmm...I've decided to pick totally at random. :)

Oh, hey, we need one more person for your fantasy league. We have an odd number now. :(

[Doubting Thomas]

31. A little late...

But if you don't have a loyalty, you should go for the Packers. They're the only team not owned by big business. (This is the DU, isn't it?)

[WeRQ4U]

32. GO VIKINGS!! DO IT FOR THE WHIZZANATOR.

Onterio will thank you for his support when he comes back from treatment. Thank you.

Like I said before, this bandwagon is an really nice ride. The wheels won't fall off of it AT LEAST until week nine. And hell, if our Defense is worth a shit for once, we might actually be successful. And if not, you can wallow in self-pity and anger like the rest of the Vikings fans do after every year of dissapointment.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Gotta be the Packers
