1. Michigan football
The most living alumni of any school. Biggest stadium, coolest helmets. And their coach is a Democrat.

37. Ohio State sucks!
The helmets? Oh my gosh. The Band? Yeah, right. And have you ever been to the 'Big House?'

Now, we have Granholm, Levin, and Stabenow, while you gave us Taft, Voinovich, and DeWine! And, BTW, what about Maurice Clarett? At least I didn't cheat on my exam!

3. Absolutely, the Packers
Idiotic references to "Michigan" being a relevant sports area aside. :spank:

Michigan. Right.

Packers are the only team taht should be supported by dems, because it's the only LOCALLY-OWNED team!


(that was just sports-banter friendliness to say "idiotic", btw)

15. Cheeseheads are the best!
Only professional sports team not a coporate whore.

Gotta love the Pack!

Even though we did have those far-right nutcases White and Chmura on the team years ago.

29. Oh, lord, save us from the cheeseheads..
If being a beer-swilling chedderfreak is what it requires to be a fan of "America's Team," then we're all doomed.

This message has been paid for by a grant from the Chicago Bears.

4. IT AIN'T THE FRICKEN COWBOYS!!!!
I would have to venture out and say the Niners. But I'm sure you Raider fans would have words over that.

So let's just say America's team is the Fresno Bulls ;)

Every where i go, there are fans of the Cubs.

13. Minnesota Twins.
Maybe I'm biased since I'm a Twins fan, but since Bud Selig started his quest a couple years ago to contract the Twins and Expos many people have been rooting for the Twins.

Joe Mays said they were America's team, too.

16. America Steam...???



Steven W. McCarter has been homeless for three years. His best day working this corner of South Spokane Street is $10. The best thing is "every day I get food, something to drink and smoke" from passers-by, he says. The worst thing is "it¹s cold at night" sleeping on concrete. His sign says "Help. Please. Bus fare or food. God bless you. Thank you."

http://www.amarillonet.com/stories/113002/usn_homelessness.shtml
Homelessness reaches record level in New York

NEW YORK - In the nation's largest city, a record number of people are homeless, sleeping each night in shelters and streets, on subway platforms and cathedral steps - and there are no easy solutions in sight.

The slowing economy has led to jumps in homelessness across the nation, in places as disparate as Rhode Island and South Dakota. But in New York, struggling with the aftermath of terrorism, the effect has been particularly acute.

On average, more than 37,000 people spend their nights in New York city shelters, the highest level on record. In 1998, city statistics show, the average was about 21,000. The number of homeless families sleeping in shelters has more than doubled over the same period, from 4,429 at the beginning of 1998 to 8,925 last month. And there are uncounted numbers of people who sleep outside.

Because Ted Turner declared them as such in 1992.

And because they're the best team in baseball.
