I hate the patriots. Narg Send a noteboard - 07/02/2019 07:22:36 PM

I live in an area from which it is a 9 hour drive to the nearest NFL stadium. I don't have a real connection to any NFL team and I haven't been able to just pick a team and love it. Apparently I need a genuine connection to be a genuine fan.

I have found that I don't have the same problem when it comes to hating a team. I can just pick a team to hate and enjoy genuine animosity, so to speak. This gives me a rooting interest and makes the league more interesting for me. I decided a while ago I would root against all professional teams from Boston. So I hate the patriots.

Incidentally, nowadays I find myself hoping that a fairly mediocre Giants team will make the playoffs and eventually bring me Super Bowl joy at the expense of the patriots.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Oakland. More than once. Cleveland when the Browns left and became the Ravens. damookster - 04/02/2019 10:48:59 PM 359 Views

I think their analysis of the two biggest "cheating" events is spot on. LiterateDog - 05/02/2019 09:50:57 PM 373 Views

True. Manning is Brady's Kryptonite. The Shrike - 08/02/2019 01:40:34 PM 378 Views
Sadly, you are right. damookster - 08/02/2019 03:37:22 PM 371 Views
