The helmets are confusing.
The Bears have a "C" on theirs. Shouldn't it be a "B"????
And the Vikings have pretty little white angel wings on theirs...Aren't the Angels a baseball team??? They should put a "V" on their helmets.
Are these helmets done this way because the NFL is "spelling challenged"?
Or is it because they want to confuse the fans and hope nobody catches on?
And while I'm at it, what's with the knee socks? What do the three stripes mean?
Man, I wish they'd show more of those smiling cheerry girls.

You think that's confusing....I'm watching some team called the BROWNS.
They have obnoxious ORANGE helmets. They are playing some team called uh....um...the Ravens but they USED to be the BROWNS at one time too...and they have have a "B" on their helmet....inside of a bird....I think the "B" stands for Baltimore....but I thought they were the Colts um...wait...don't they play in Indianapolis? They have a HORSE SHOE on their helmets....shouldn't they play in Kentucky or something?
