daquixers_is_back Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 That really doesn't matter. No one in football really talks about the Lombardi Trophy. They talk about winning the Super Bowl. Big difference. Hey Tom Brady, how many Lombardi Trophies have you won? "I don't know, but I've got three bitchen Super Bowl Rings." Ya know? 797584[/snapback] Ok ... our minds work differently. When I think SB win, I think Lombardi trophy and vice versa. Its all inter-connected. But way to be obstinate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daquixers_is_back Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Ummm...isn't hockey marginalized to the cold weather areas of the US? I know it's pretty big up north but isn't is virtually ignored by half the country(south)?I know that it's the little brother to the other three biggies...Football, Baseball, Basketball. I would think that 'every kid' is a humongous exaggeration....or at least a lot of wishful thinking on your part. 797592[/snapback] Read the post carefully along with the attached quote ... i was being sarcastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I personally dont know many people who would think of winning a SB and not the trophy ... it goes together. Period. Do the players win the SB and then walk to the locker room? No. They hoist the trophy. For goodness sakes. Simon and Darin have had some sticks up their butts lately. Im done with this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 That is part of my reason for voting for it. The other is that you can have it for one day to do whatever you want. I've never heard of teams letting their players take the Lombardi home. 797593[/snapback] Let alone throw it off a second story balcony into a pool during a wild shindig! Yet, it is still not the "real" cup (top part or "peanut bowl")... The real one is locked away in the Hall forever, being much too fragile to even touch... Then there is the ring issue... Like I mentioned. So the SC appears to be a very modular device that isn't that static... An ever changing trophy that is mostly a replica (cup itself) of the original. Funny how they marketed it though... I wonder what most people actually think it is? It really is a symbol... I still voted for it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would think he isn't too happy! 797612[/snapback] Uh, I watched the Sabres' game. Hockey is far more important to me than baseball, and right there with the BILLS. Baseball fell hard when the strike cost Mattingly his best chance to win a Championship. It's never been the same since. I certainly wasn't disappointed with my choice, nor could I be in a much better mood after we stuck it to those horrific officials and the friggin' Habs.

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Not that I would have voted for it, but with the immense poularity of NASCAR, the Nextel Cup should probably have been in the poll.

Pitta Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 well, obviously if you're asking a city with a pro football team and pro hockey team you'll get biased answers. Results would vary if you polled people in Florida or Georgia, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 There's absolutely no question what the most coveted trophy in all of sports is - it's the World Cup. If you're limiting the poll to America, it's not a cut and dried, but I'd have to go with the Lombardi. Futbal is the beautiful game!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
