Before the Super Bowl came around, teams were awarded the Ed Thorp Trophy as the winners of the NFL Championship. It was a traveling trophy, not unlike the Stanley Cup
Then the vikes swiped it and have lived under a killer curse ever since
Vikings one is pretty good - albeit a bit depressing. So far the Ravens has been the best - but that's probably because I'm in the middle of it.
I agree. I went to high school in Baltimore, though, so I have that context.
Particularly loved this line:
If you've been to Baltimore proper, you know that it's a third-world deathscape, dotted with hobos selling copper scrap and crazy-eyed meth zombies staring at you from atop abandoned railcars. I'm shocked that the Elysium space station can't be seen hovering over it.

Billy from Glen Burnie is just as scared shitless of that town as any other American is, but that's not gonna stop him from rocking a pair of purple camo pants and pretending he's the leader of some kind of battalion of unarmed Grimaces.

it must be so sweet winning a SB and rooting for a team that doesn't historically take the gas pipe.
What's it like winning a super bowl? I think about winning 1 often and how i would react if that ever occured. i know i'd be releasing 42 years (and counting) of built up heartbreak, disappointment, anger, frustration at once. I'd probably be a very embarassing scene for my friends and family.
Its not "like" anything else I have ever experienced, probably because I get into the NFL so much
Some of the best parts are:
"They" can never take it away
Sharing it with your friends and family. ( Dad)
All the awesome replays for the next 25+ years
A happy mix of "we have a great team" and "we sure got lucky"

PS - you get to act any way you like AND it makes your dick bigger :D
