no way are Real Madrid fans more arrogant than Barca fans?

The fact that I live in Madrid where there are 100x more Real Madrid fans might be a factor, but I'd say yes, by far. I have many friends who are Barcelona's fans and they are not nearly as arrogant as the dreaded Real Madrid ones.

I think there is a selection bias here, Gonzalo. Maybe your friends are just less arrogant than most football fans :)

last night at the party I wanted to catch a falling glass but I broke 3 other glasses and spilt my own beer. I saved the first one.

I hope we can assume that the glasses you broke were empty, because we know wasting alcohol is a sin.

Beer, in my mind, is pardonable this one time.

ok, football time is back! 2 playoff games Saturday, and 2 Sunday! I like the Colts to win big, the Vikings to win & cover, the Jets to lose and cover, and Cards to pull the upset of the weekend.

Yes....best nfl football of the year now....


btw some might think some are betting on some of these games...given some of these last posts.

Of course I would be shocked..shocked that a bridge player might ever gamble.

Actually thinking of going a little moneyline, too, but I'm taking the points. The Charles Grant (DE) injury (tricep; out for season) will be felt by the Saints.

i don't know how much of an upset it would be considered, although vegas likes the saints

as far as the injuries, yeah grant's out but people who follow the saints (like me) know that their defense started playing worse when their starting corners were out for that 6 or 7 week stretch... it kept williams from calling the D plays he likes and it kept sharper from doing what he does best... they're back now and i expect to see the saints of earlier in the year... i'm personally worried more about the offense, they've looked out of sync for awhile now

My picks for the weekend NFL games:
1. Cowboys win at Vikings
2. Jets win at San Diego
3. Saints v Cardinals -- not sure. Probably Saints
4. Ravens win at Colts. Go Ravens!
