The popular "Click for Cans" promotion by Campbell's Chunky Soup is back. At the end of the promotion, on December 15, Chunky Soup will donate cans of Chunky soup to food pantries chosen by the "winning" team. The amount of cans? The equivalent weight of soup of the total weight of the offensive line.To play, log on to Campbell’s Chunky - Click For Cans and pick the Green Bay Packe...er...your favorite team. You can even download a widget to keep the scoreboard up on your screen.So help fight hunger and go Click for Cans.

(The joke about picking my team is because the Green Bay Packers fans have dominated this contest since its inception.)
 
We're one step ahead of you on the Living Female Forum! We started clicking over there about a week ago.

I guess you need our own Living Male Forum or just have a sex change and join us! HA!
 
I went... but I voted for the best team. Even if we are in 4th place on click for cans, they're still #1 with me :)

GO STEELERS!!! :)

((anyone else feel really sad for the Giants when they went on that site?))

I always liked Cousin Archie and his kids, Peyton and Eli.Related? Heck, I dunno. There are Mannings all over the south. The Rocket Scientist lives in Huntsville, and there's a Manning Street there. I told him it was nice of them to name a street for him in honor of all the work he's done out at Redstone.I've traced my family back to Amos, who left Baltimore under mysterious circumstnaces circa 1820. There's also a Manning Society in Boston, however, those hoity-toities hold their collective noses in the air as they point out that members have to be able to trace themselves back to some Manning who came from England shortly after Charlamagne crowned himself.I don't care - my 11th great-grandfather (on Mom's side) came into the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 (William Colver, spelled "Culver" for many generations now) so who needs the Manning Society?

Ugh.. I so despise Peyton Manning. He's talented, but I just do not like him at all.

I admit it. I watch Colts games just with the hope of seeing him get sacked.
I have issues, what can I say?

I really don't understand this hatred for the Colts. I hear more people rag about the Patriots - seems a lot of people don't like Tom Brady very much. The hatred for either team just doesn't seem to have the same intensity, though, as the old hatred for the Cowboys back in the '90s. Phyllis George started that "America's Team" crap about the Cowboys decades ago, and there are still a lot of people who buy into that myth.
 
Me either, KG! Personally I don't like Tom Brady or the Patriots, but I'm not much for bad mouthing other teams...trust me, there's a lot I could say! lol (My BIL lives in Pittsburgh, and all we here from him and his wife is how great the Steelers are, and how every other team sucks - drives me crazy! :grumpy: ) I do have to say this though... If someone honestly thinks that the colts pump the crowd noise back into the dome, then maybe they should actually attend a game there - seriously! My dad has season tickets so he was at that game; he just had to laugh when people came up with that one! :rolleyes:
The next game should be interesting - my FIL is a huge Chargers fan! lol

Being from MA I like the Patriots and not just because they are having an amazing season!! It did feel pretty good to see Payton so sad on Sunday. (Especially since the last time Payton played the Patriots and won, he ragged on Tom Brady on Saturday Night Live.) We can only hope that they will have Tom Brady on this Saturday night. :)

Ashlee, I don't know about the Colts, but we know the Vikings pump extra noise into the Humpty Dome. That #*%&^#*! horn they blow in the Humpty Dome is the most obnoxious thing in sports - more obnoxious than playing "Hey hey goodbye!" when a home team wins or a pitcher is taken out of the game. Keri-Lyn, I enjoyed that game Sunday afternoon. I'm sure those are the two best teams in the league this year. Actually, I find Peyton Manning to be very entertaining in his television commercials, while Tom Brady was pretty stiff in that awful credit card spot with his offensive line.
 
The radio stations have been ragging on Tom Brady this week. They have him quoted after the game, stating it is no big deal, this isn't important, that January is what matters. Partly true, but could you at least be excited that you won a close game! I wish I could find the quote, he does sound kind of "stiff" as you said.

This particular game has a major impact on the post-season, mostly by helping determine home field advantage. At the same time, Brady knows enough to be polite so he doesn't give Dungy and the Colts any bulletin board material for the next time they meet.
