Comments on: [Business Day One] So You Want to Build a Team http://www.nerdsonsports.com/2007/10/15/business-day-one-so-you-want-to-build-a-team/ Where nerds are talking about sports!

I also have to add that you missed out the kicker who can make the 65-yard field goal every time; the punter who places the ball in the corner of the field at the one-inch mark (no matter where he's kicking from); and the punt returner who will go 99 yards and 11 inches for a TD on each return. Note: the field goal unit is negligible; since there will always be touchdowns at the end of drives, but as long as you're building the Perfect team, get a kick-ass kicker.

Football is about unity. Hawver, I reluctantly agree. Also, it's not football unless Paul "Wrecking" Crewe is the quarterback and the game has something to do with ending a war. Flynn, the foreign-born players had a lot of immigration issues. We're sticking with Americans. Fish, Broncos uniforms create a sense of unity between the jerseys and the pants.

Otherwise my dream of seeing Bjorn Turkeythigh and Sven Meatloaf on this team would have been totes realized.

I believe a forecast of between 0 and 3 degrees (F) and at least half a foot of snow is perfect football weather.

First off, their helmet logo sucks balls. The stupid stallion has no pizazz whatsoever. Boring as hell. Now granted if you were to change the name to the Titans, the stallion would go away... but still. Secondly... the underarm vertical stripes in orange are ugly. Tremendously ugly. There's a very good reason why their uniform was called a roller-derby uniform when it first debuted. Because that's what it looks like. Fricking roller-derby. And no roller-derby uniform will ever be called the best uniform in all of sports. Also, the numbers are too round. They do not look menacing in the least. There's a reason why numbers have traditionally been blocky... because the block numbers have strength. The round numbers like the Broncos have look pansyish. Add to this the fact that there are no stripes or team logos on the sleeves... and you have a boring and ugly uniform. And it wouldn't matter if you changed it to black and gold. It still would look bad. Now if you were to put the Tennessee Titan's numbers onto the Carolina Panthers uniforms and change the baby blue to gold... then you have something. Because the Panthers have all 3 important things on their sleeves... their logo, a cool double-colored stripe, and player numbers on the shoulders.
