Has he always been a jets fan? friendships are give and take and you each accumulate social "poker chips" in a bank account, lets you overlook things that might be dealbreakers a friend ditching the Bills to go ***** after the Patriots next year would require a stack of poker chips to the moon to forgive....

Heavy Kevi Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 33 minutes ago, Cripple Creek said: and switched allegiance to another team could you still tailgate with that person? Someone who I have tailgated with in the past has talked about 2019 being the year that the Bills must show improvement or he's ditching them for whatever front runner has the best unifirms. My answer was no. I could still share a beer with him occasionally, but tailgating would be out of the question. There is something about the bond shared by tailgating that would prevent me from allowing him to join the group. I just have a feeling that he would spend the entire time rubbing our noses in to being sorry Bills fans. The guy is very petty to begin with and I just know he wouldn't be a gracious winner or loser. Am I being unreasonable? You are not being unreasonable. And he can't "rub you nose in being a Bills fan", since being a bandwagoner is so much worse. I would invite him to the tailgate and then verbally accost him for being a bandwagoner. Best unis? That's rediculous. Pretty pathetic how some folks need so desperately need to be associated with a winner that they switch teams and act like it's ok, but I'm happy to shred them if they decide to try and talk *****.

I have an adult son who is also an avid fan of the Bills and we talk after every game. In addition I have a grandson who is just beginning his love affair with the Bills. I have been through every low this team has had. I stand by what I said. It is a game. It can create strong emotions as with any passion. However, if you are allowing it to adversely affect your life or relationships, then you need to find a better way of managing a balance between your passion for the team and the rest of your life. Ya see, it was a joke...1959 was a dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) 9 minutes ago, row_33 said: yeah, but what if he cheered for a real team and went on and on about it I don't even have friends that are Pats fans that go on and on about how good they are. Or I just don't care that they do. Red sox fans though, I know plenty of those and yea, it gets annoying. 9 minutes ago, Cripple Creek said: Has he always been a jets fan? No. He change to the Jets in the early years of the drought (2001-2003ish). Actually I remember it was 2001. We both skipped work to go to the Bills-Panthers game and got tickets on the 50, 20 rows up for like $30 since they were so bad that year. He put 100 on the Panthers and lost so he basically said "F this team". Edited November 2, 2018 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Have you ever watched the movie Four Brothers? Remember the part where the kingpin made his partner get down and eat his meal off the floor like a dog? That seems like the appropriate way to handle it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
