I bet if a study was done, it shows how the testosterone of men goes overboard while watching other men engaging in activity.
I bet football fans are more happy at work during football season because of the alleviation they receive while watching, because it is the only time they allow themselves to become excited about something.
I'm a chick and I get pretty rabid during football season... and it's pretty insulting that you think football is the only excitement fans have in their lives.

This seems like a good place to put this. Another rich corporate fuckhead screwing over the public for his own benefit.

I'm sure St Louis has nothing better to spend its money on.

I predict Brady will be exonerated, play all games in the season, and put up a 16-0-0 record. He'll then dominate the playoffs, and make it a shut out at the Super Bowl, securing his status as the greatest quarterback of all time. #FreeBrady
Ok, now for the realistic version. I still think Brady will be exonerated, so he'll play all the games, but we've lost a few good players this year, both offensively and defensively, so we probably won't do as well as last year. I'm hoping we'll make the #1 seed but we're more likely to be #3 or #4. After that, I don't want to tempt fate; Brady is usually better in the playoffs than most, so I'm hoping we'll make it to the Super Bowl, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't. However I don't think the Seahawks will make it to a third in a row; I think they will meet Green Bay in the playoffs and get the defeat that they barely escaped from the last time they met.
I'm honestly just happy that the year I moved to New England, my team won the Super Bowl. Couldn't have asked for a better moving present.

You said it, not me. 
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I now get to cry even more as I watch the likes of Jay Feely shank extra points at Heinz field.
Suisham tore his ACL in the HOF game.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It's more likely to be dopamine than testosterone.
As for the 2015 season, go Seahawks! Get Kam into camp and let's make it two titles in three years!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I saw that play. I was hoping it looked worse than it was. That's a bad break.
