I love it! I love it! Who is your favorite NFL team? Please don't say the Raiders,
PLEASE! Even the Bears would be better than they.
"Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated."
Did you know when I worked for the phone company they used to train us using Lou Holtz motivational tapes. I learned more from those tapes . . .
BUT (and it's a big but - ooh, I like big butts, oh they are spelled diff)
The Raid-uhs have been so bad for so long that my loyalty has wandered a bit off course. I always have been a huge 49er fan and more so now that they seem on the comeback trail AND I have won a lot of money in recent years on the BALT RAvens and the New England Pats so they are on my list BUT I have been a fan of Da Bears since Mike Ditka's days and THEY are on my list - AND - last but definitely not least, I started to root for the New Orleans Saints last season due to the Katrina disaster and THEY are now a very good team so GO SAINTS!!!
Hell, I just love football.
