    Now we have a Spanish guy that wants to be called Nero; and it's like Ancestry.Com just slapped you right upside the head with - how bout a little Michael Corleone needing to defend his mother here?

    Ironically, I took Nero about 12 years ago and didn't know it was Italian or anything... Though later I thought it suited me. Anyway, just to clarify, I'm Spanish, so bear in mind that I don't pronounce it like most of you would: "Niro"  I pronounce it like "Nero" instead.

    Hey, it works.  He was like the very first Andrew Dice Clay except he was in charge of the Roman Empire. 

    Knowing you're Spanish - the only alternative screen name I could see for you was a badasss fictional Gladiator called "Spaniard".   

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    Is that a first?

    I've been doing these for a dozen or so years (dating back to the board mjp, Coyote and JDailey came from) and every once in a while there's no chicken dinner awarded or the big dummy named.

    The "Big Dummy Award" is a joke from the old board. There was a poster on it - VTBrowns - who was unintentionally the funniest mothertrucker I've ever known. He'd get on these rants and then get made fun of so hard he'd quit the board for months, only to return and the same hilarity would ensue. He was yelling at someone one day and started calling them "big dummy", which caused us to imagine him as Fred Sanford. He called us the "bitch click"... He wasn't the strongest speller either. God I miss VT... ?

    VT was a riot.  He came up with some of the wildest shit I ever read.  VT is on Twitter.  No super active, but he's on there.

    14. What two teams are in the Super Bowl? Who wins?

    Zombo: Atlanta over LA Chargers

    jcam222: Minnesota over New England

    Tour2ma: LA Rams over Jacksonville

    Nero: New Orleans over LA Chargers

    Coyote: New England over LA Rams

    mjp: Green Bay over Houston

    Bob806: New England over Minnesota

    FlyinJ: Minnesota over New England

    Flugel: LA Rams over Jacksonville

    gumby: New England over Minnesota

    Dutch Oven: Atlanta over Pittsburgh

    JDailey: Philadelphia over New England

    Answer: The New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 for their sixth Super Bowl victory in franchise history. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: I understand why the Patriots are hated, I totally get it. But there's something impressive watching a team do what it has for as long as it has, especially considering how few players will end up in the Hall of Fame from this run. (In relation to other dynasties in NFL history) Three posters correctly chose New England winning the Super Bowl, but only Coyote nailed the exact result of them defeating the Rams.

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... Only one guy chose two teams who didn't even make the playoffs, and that dummy was me - Dutch Oven.

    Completely agreed. I always root against the Patriots but I admire what they have achieved. 

    Thank you Dutch for doing these questions, they are fun!

    Very well done and very fun read Dutch. Remind me to play along next year. Guessing games like this always feels like trying to piss into a soup can off a 2 story building, which really sounds fun unless you feel like you’re actually expected to land a few drops in the can. A can full of piss is not necessarilly better than a pissless can, and that is liberating.

    Here's your reminder......

    • NFL Kickoff Game: The Kickoff Game is scheduled for September 5, televised nationally by NBC. If previous precedent is followed,  it will feature the Super Bowl LIII champion New England Patriots and will be hosted at Gillette Stadium. However, the Patriots could play instead in the season opener of Sunday Night Football, which would allow the NFL to schedule another game for the Kickoff Game.  One possibility may feature the Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers to begin the Bears' 100th season, which would be a reverse-fixture from Week 1 in 2018 where the Packers were the host to begin their 100th season.

    Actually.....if they wanted to do it right.....they would have the Bears play the Cardinals.    These are the only two teams left who also played in the very first NFL season in 1920.    Then they were the Chicago Cardinals and the Decatur Staleys.

    The Bears did move one year later...1921 to Chicago....and the Packers came into the league in 1921.....but it is only those Cardinals and Staleys/Bears franchises that have been around ab initio.

    53 Super Bowls blending the NFL and new(er) AFL together just before the offical merger.

    BTW just how old are you?

    13. Will Hue Jackson be the head coach of the Browns at this time next year? (At the end of training camp 2019) If not, what date does he get fired?

    And the Big Dummy Award goes to... I suppose it goes to everyone who thought Hue would see the fourth season as Browns head coach. 

    The popular vote was 8 yes 4 no which shows how those things can work out......sometimes.  😕
