There is less community spirit there. People come in from all over.
It's the same with my city. Which is still small, but we are over 1 million people now. But we will never have a pro team because we have no community spirit. It doesn't help our town wasn't founded until 1904.

My mom is a HUGE Dallas fan...and we would always go to the Cowboys Eagles game back when my uncle was alive, and had season tix. She went wearing a Dallas sweatshirt, and cheered for the Cowboys...
Two men turned around and began to yell at her, calling her names, and being downright rude and hostile. The only thing that saved her from possible outright aggression was that they saw she was 7 months pregnant with my brother.

Moral of the Story: Never **** with Eagles fans in Vet Stadium.
Unless you're pregnant.

Reis et. al.
A grudging amount of respect is due the Bucs as they completley handled the Eagles.
With the exception of special teams the Eagles had no game at all.
I give you guys kudos for an impressive win and make no excuses.
OTOH, I still see the Raiders coming out on top in the Big Game.
I would wish you good luck, but I gotta pull for the Riaders if only to see Sapp and Meshawn get their just rewards.
In any event, congratulations on a fine victory.

P.S. Trash talk about Gruden is similarly withdrawn.

Best offense against best defense. How can it not be good?

A question for all you trivia buffs out there...
Is this the first time in history that two teams with the same mascot will meet in a championship game? Any sport counts...

Without knowing for sure, I'll say yes, as that thought had also crossed my mind.
(yeah, yeah. I know. Short trip. )

Raiders are different from Buccaneers. Not a huge difference, but it's there.
Eagles vs. Falcons would've been an interesting game in terms of mascots.

ahh someone has bumped this thread.
I think my post earlier in this thread proves I predicted the Buc would be the Eagles 
And I didn't just predict that the Bucs had a chance. I predicted that the Eagles had very little chance of winning that game. The only way the Eagles could have won was if they caused more Buc turnovers.

No there isn't. An orange hat doesn't make you different from the pirate in the silver hat...

Historically, there have been more than one kind of pirate. In your brain, all a full o' prejudices, there might not be.

Look at the two mascots and tell me how they're different. If one team was the 17th Century Privateers and the other was the Modern Day Southeast Asian Pirates, you might have a point. Unfortunately, both of these teams have the same kind of stereotypical Carribean pirate. They're the same...

Right. The Pittsburgh Pirates mascot is no different than the Raiders or the Buccanneers. Same type of pirate.

One's a buccaneer and one's a raider!!!
A raider is more well known for stealing from land based colonies, while buccaneers are focused entirely on stealing dubloons from the galleons!

Source?
I'd like to see a team called the Minutemen in the league. That would be a totally new idea. Or how about the Indians? Or the Cowhands? etc...

The Chinese translation for Chicago Bulls is Chicago Male Cows.
China has been airing NBA games so they had to translate them. I can't remember Miami. I think Miami was called the hot fire.

I meant an NFL team called the Indians. That's about as different from the Redskins as the Buccaneers are from the Raiders.
Have the Indians and Braves ever played in the World Series? If so, that could be the first time two teams with the same mascot met in a championship game...
