I get you guys' hayseed Hatfield-McCoy Minny-Wisco narcissism of small differences, sure. But they've won national titles in the lifetime of a current student. A current student's parents. You chose a bad way to taunt him.

It's not a taunt, it's humor. Some amount of respect and affection clothed in insult, to be sure, but humor. At least in my (Nodak-Minny, not Minny-Wisco) case.
Like I said, I doubt you would understand.

Until Cleveland gets its entire organization's back-office in order, no coach with solid credentials will bother with that team. Unless the only alternative is working for Dan Snyder.
So if Rivera went to DC, and Judge went to the Giants (?) and Carolina hired the Baylor coach, and McCarthy went to Dallas....doesn't that leave only the Browns job available?!?

-No it wasn't ok and only jackwagons latched onto the Cubs if they weren't from Chicago.
It's like all the idiots that bought the new White Sox hats when they changed their logo in the 90's but were Twins fans. They looked like tools. Also this isn't the 90's yet you act like the Cubs are your team.
-Never was a huge Vikings fan but live and die now with the Bills because of Jim Kelly?
-I know the NS moved - but I would never latch onto another team the way you did with NJ. Hell even to this day I cheer for the Wild but the feeling will never be the same.
I know you know this is tongue-in-cheek but truth at the same time.
Always loved both Cubs and Twins. Remember, before interleague play, it was ok to have your AL team and NL team. Yes, I will root for the Twins over the Cubs every time.
Never was a huge Vikings fan. Didn't really have a "team" until Jim Kelly came along.
North Stars moved and ceased to be, in case you missed it. According to the sports rules, I was free to choose another team.
Next.

I always enjoy when Burd gets confused as a Wisconsin fan.

You do understand all 3 states are exactly the same place to the rest of us, right?
North Dakota, a little colder.
Wisconsin, a little drunker. OK, a lot drunker.
Minnesota, a little Garrison Keillorer.
But the same make and model.

You know I watched the Cubs all the time growing up with all their afternoon games, right? That's how they became my NL team, and why I loved them. And it was ok, because the only time the AL and NL played was in the WS (well, AS game, but that didn't count back then).
Yeah, pretty much, in the Bills' case.
When NS died, they died. Could be worse: I coulda became a Wings fan.

XFL rules highlights:
- Kickoffs are in. Coverage team starts on the opposing 35, receiving team starts 5 yards away facing them on their 30. Kicker and receiver are the only ones allowed to move until the ball is caught or on the ground for 3 seconds. (Decent compromise between safety and playmaking, though I see a lot of boneheaded penalties in the first few weeks.)
- Standard NFL onside kick - kicking team must declare to the official first. (Gah - I liked the 4th down conversion idea.)
- No PAT kick. Teams have the option of a 1-point conversion from the 2, a 2-pointer from the 5, or a 3-pointer from the 10. (Neat, allows for comebacks.)
- There are now "major" touchbacks that spot the ball at the 35 in certain circumstances.
- Double forward pass is allowed as long as the ball has not yet crossed the line of scrimmage for both passes. (Heck yeah! Shades of NFL Blitz.)
- OT is alternating conversion attempts from the 5 yard line, shootout style, best of 5, sudden death rounds if tied. (You know what...fine. At least it's fair.)
- 25 second play clock.
- Clock runs after incompletions/out of bounds plays.
- Clock stops on all plays after the 2-minute warning until the ball is spotted. 5-second runoff if ball was downed inbounds.
- 2 timeouts per team per half.
- No coaches' challenges. All plays subject to booth review. Booth can overturn obvious player safety calls, or obvious blown calls in last 5 minutes of the 4th. (One of the AAF's better ideas carries over - good.)
- A "catch" is: 1) secure control of a live ball before it touches the ground, 2) touch the ground inbounds with any part of the body, 3) maintain control long enough to make an "act common to the game." (Ruh roh.)

I'd ask somebody to please tell me the difference between Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, but I don't really care. All three are mostly populated with a**holes.
