The Patriots. Ugh. lol
I have a good buddy here who is a RABID Patriots fan. He was not exactly fun to watch the Pats/Falcons Super Bowl; until the Pats finally started winning, he was a spoiled little brat.
SMH
I'm glad you, at least, are having good luck with your team. I'm a Cincinnati fan, so I've had no joy there for QUITE some time.

Ooof, its been a rough run for the Bengals since the 90s began. Almost always close... of course, it doesn't help having the Steelers and Ravens in the same division. Bengals might have won a few division titles in a different one.
it is pretty good to be a Patriots fan. Its nice to know you always have a chance. That superbowl, everyone was taunting me and mouthing off. I kept saying, "Its not over yet." hehe, I was right.

As a loyal Minnesotan I can't root for the Patriots (as a dynasty is something we've never had here and thus I am oath bound to despise such things) and as for cheering for the Eagles...well I think last weekend says it all

LOL Well, the vikes sort of had a dynasty in the 70s... didn't they go to (but lose) four super bowls in the 70s? That's not the kind of dynasty people want, of course, but its still pretty impressive... though, a long freaking time ago. I still think the Bills four back to back super bowl appearances in the beginning of the 90s is a pretty amazing feat. But people generally consider the Bills one of the biggest loser franchises because of that. Maybe I just see things differently than everyone else. well, at least you are not like my Brother in law who is a vikes fan. He is SO annoying about his team. He says, all the time, whomever is the QB at the time, is the "Greatest Quarterback of all time"... regularly, and in some seasons, changing "Greatest QB of all time" during the season. I hate the vikes by proxy because of him but always kind of liked them before he joined the family. In my family, we all root for each others teams because we care about each other and want each other's teams to win (except, obviously, when your team is playing their team... that's OK). I've rooted AGAINST my pats a couple of times for my father and step mom who are convinced the Patriots have ruined the Broncos (their team) despite the fact that the Broncos are the only team in which Tom Brady has a losing record against and that the Patriots have a -1 win/loss ratio against the Broncos in the playoffs. Anti-patriot-ism But I can take a loss for my team because of our great success. Its cool. Plus I really like Tim Tebow and can't believe he took a 2-6 Broncos team, took them to 8-8, won a wildcard playoff spot, beat the #3 seed Steelers, and never played a NFL game again.... but that's a whole different story. Its sad that only Philly Fans will actually be rooting FOR Philly to win because everyone else (except Pats fans) are really rooting for the Pats to lose. As I say on other forums and facebook, "Bring on the hate! The Patriots and their fans thrive on your hatred and jealousy!"

Actually, I've always liked Philadelphia. I'll be pulling for them out of genuine desire to see them WIN, rather than just beat the Pats.
