I noticed when I talk to people who are Bills or NFL fans, they always say My Bills, My Rams, or My Texans. They personalize it, like their part owners or have a stake in the team. LOL! Only the Packers can truly say that, but it funny when people say that. Nothing wrong with it, just an observation.

:D:

I do all the time. especially when I'm drunk. Me and my buds have a drinking song.

"One shot down says the quarterback
one more down to the halfback
one for the fans
two for the owner for we
drink em all untill we Ralph."

*Take a shot*

"Oh, they're my Bills! OY!"

"drink em high
drink em dry
one shot, two shot, three shots guy!
who are they
who get us drunk?"

*take a shot*

"Ohhhhhhh, theyre my Bills! OYE!"


There are two more verses... haha

stupid right?

No, that means that you love your team, drunk or sober! :D:

Been saying it for over 30 years! :curtsey:

but this isn't why..."like their part owners or have a stake in the team"

They are my team. That is all.

If I'm talking to a fan from another team, I'll often use possesive discrept words like "we're" and "you guys".

I say "we" and "our" when referring to the Bills all the time.

I try to avoid it but sometimes I slip up.

I try to avoid saying 'we' since I'm not part of the team, but I think most fans that do say that are just emphasizing 'the team I am a fan of' when they are talking to other fans. I never even thought about the ownership concept before, I don't think I've ever heard anybody look at it from that angle before. It's like a contraction, it's just a lot shorter and quicker to say 'we' than to keep saying 'the Bills' when you're having a football discussion; just like saying 'you' when referring to another fan's favorite team.

hardcore fans make the team apart of them, thats why I sometimes puke after a close game or a loss.
