Is everyone believing in now? Is everyone enraptured by this catchy, not-at-all stupid slogan? I know I am. Now that Im done being facetious, this has to be one of the lamest slogans Ive ever seen. LOL. Dumb.

I think it sounds like a symbol of our instant coffee society.

I am going with "Believe it when I see it." Lex likes the phrase, "lose it to gain 2 spots on the draft board."

Worst one of those I ever saw was the one in Pittsburgh for the Pirates the last couple of seasons....it was "WE WILL".

Of course, this was made fun on to no end with things like "WE WILL lose 80 games", "WE WILL trade our best players for nothing" and on and on. Thankfully, new management trashed the slogan almost the minute they took over this year.

ITs true tho, all NFL teams and fans can believe in now because in 2 months they will be done believing if their teams suck ;D

"Don't worry about Sunday when it's Tuesday" says Raiders coach Lane Kiffin. Says it all.

I lived in the Burgh during that ad campaign for the team. No one in the damn city got behind it. I used to say "WE WILL watch the Pirates until Steelers mini camp starts." They should have gone with the slogan..."The Pirates...Yeah we're still here."

After the Bulls began to suck subsequent to the post Jordan era, the Chicago Bulls put out an ad campaign trying to guilt people into going to the games. "I never jumped off the bandwagon" was their slogan. It would have been better if they would have taken ownership in putting a crap product on the court, but they decided to put it at the fans feets instead. Pathetic.

This should explaine my actions. I'm a white sox fan, and yes this slogan is totaly stupid!!!!!.......I see it every time I turn on channel 9 and thay are playing a cubs game and a fan is holding a sign stating that "they believe"............... I think its the same person holding the same sign for the last 5 years or so. Please bronco fans, please don't fall in the same trap........

Cubs suck but I never was a fan of the White Sox Post White flag trade slogan, "The kids can play". Bartman is a god!

BTW is Wood still throwing towels on DL?

OK, but I would resist comparing this slogan the league is pushing which probably involved fees for consulting and fees with some marketing firm to some fan at a baseball game who brings a cardboard sign.

:spit:

Really, it's an assinine slogan and it makes the coaches like Mangini look pretty dense (of course, Herm looks brilliant, wink, wink).

Believe In Now!

It reminds me of talking to a two year old kid: "Wash your hands, NOW!"

Next year's NFL slogan should be something just as stupid like: "Get With The Program!"
