Quote from: 1995hoo on August 10, 2026, 04:47:08 PMMaybe the Northern Indiana Football Team should drop the name "Bears" and rename themselves after Joan of Arc.

:bigass:

The Northern Indiana Football Team is headed up to Lambeau to kick some Badger ass.

...you mean the Some Distance From Milwaukee Team? Personally, I they both stand a good chance of playing the victor of Pretty Good American Football Conference Team To-Be Determined From Another Metropolitan Statistical Area/State in the Ultimate Final Game Which Really Matters Played At City/Suburbs Which Changes Annually.

In my comment that led to this, I just didn't want to repeat "Bears," even though "Indiana Bears" would bother one particular person. I was just trying to set up a pun about naming them after Joan of Arc: the "Indiana Joans."
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

That amateur sports like the LLWS and some HS tournaments now use video replay review. They're kids, they don't make money, in fact strictly banned from such and are heavily monitored to ensure they're not receiving money. It sets a bad precedent for kids which undercuts the moments in life that sometimes things just don't go your way and you have to live with that.
