Beerball Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I told my family yesterday that my hatred for the pats was beginning to reach miamian proportions. My wife said "how can you hate the patriots? There's no one on that team worth hating." I begged to differ, and in the end she agreed to hate whomever I hate. I like McNabb. I HATE the pats. Guess I root for Philly. The six people who voted for brady should be drawn and quartered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I was lectured by my wife regarding this issue last night. She said it was "evil" of me to root against the Eagles because it would crush her father to have the Ealges lose the SB. 216376[/snapback] Just tell him "hey, you are used to not being in Super Bowls, so enjoy the fact that you actually made it this year instead of choking like they usually do in conference championship games." It should help your cause with dad-in-law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I root for the Eagles, the good karma will come back to me, Bledsoe will be removed, JP will win 13 games next year, take us to the SB and win?

My wife and I are going to wish her good luck, then root for the Pats. We will then call up my mom-in-law, and console her after the Iggles lose the SB. No hurt feelings among family.

LabattBlue Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'll never root for a team that has a player like Owens or Moss on the team. I don't care if they are $$holes in the background, but when they have to remind me each and every week what a$$holes they are, you'll never see me cheering for the team you are on.

Maybe like I said it's bad karma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 This is like asking who do you invite over for dinner, T-Bone or ICE? Either one is going to make you miserable so you just drink to an alarming excess and try your best to ignore that it's actually happening.

BRH Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Let me see... since the Bills were last in the Super Bowl I have rooted for: XXIX: Niners over Chargers -- no way did I want the AFC to get off the schneid right after Buffalo lost four straight XXX: Cowboys over Steelers -- ditto XXXI: Packers over Pats -- I rooted for Favre in this one XXXII: Broncos over Packers -- I'd finally gotten over it enough to root for an AFC team XXXIII: Broncos over Falcons -- root for the Falcons? come on XXXIV: Rams over Titans -- that should have been US in that SB and I was NOT going to root for Tennessee XXXV: Ravens over Giants -- I had been waiting 10 years to see the Giants lose a SB and I enjoyed every minute of it XXXVI: Pats over Rams -- I know, shocking. But I hated Warner and Fartz. XXXVII: Raiders over Bucs -- the closet '70s Raider fan in me emerged and was quickly bitchslapped XXXVIII: Panthers over Pats -- by now I REALLY hated the Pats So anyway, in the last 10 SBs I've rooted for the AFC five times and the NFC five times. I much prefer the AFC overall but because we're in that conference I have a much greater hatred of more AFC teams than NFC teams. Case in point: this SB. I'm rooting for the Eagles.

I mean of the last 4 AFC teams - I hated 3 of them (Steelers, Jets and Pats). But despite that, I feel I have to root for the AFC in every Super Bowl. Besides the NFC was such a punk conference this year - it would suck to have them win the Super Bowl when they had 8-8 teams getting into the playoffs and we were sitting at home at 9-7.
