Re: MNF Pats @ Bengals
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I win money when my fantasy team wins. I win...what, happiness points when my real team wins? People who make posts like the one you did are too involved in a team that doesn't care about them and takes a lot of joy in accomplishments they had absolutely no hand in. I'm a fan of teams because they are fun to watch, have talented players, stuff like that. Not because I was born there. I'm sorry if this doesn't meet your cutoff for "real fan." [/ QUOTE ] There's nothing to apologize for, it just means you're not a real fan of a team (you have none of the equivalent of "faith"). You are a fan of football. [/ QUOTE ] I am definitely a fan of football, but I still consider myself a fan of a few teams. They are teams I root for for a specific reason though, not because I was born there or thats who my dad roots for. I just don't see why this makes me not a "real" fan. Or any of the other disparaging terms that usually accompany that. |

[/ QUOTE ] If they are gonna bet against them they shouldn't celebrate when their bet comes through. I will draft players against the Broncos because I want to win, but I will celebrate when my guy gets shut down by our defense.

I think a "real fan" is someone who supports his team no matter what for some one sentimental reason (born there, been a fan since X time, whatever). |

Carson and Ocho jawing away at each other at the end of the 1st half pretty much was the end of the game. |

Re: MNF Pats @ Bengals
I think Belichick looked more upset about having to call timeout with NE up 24-7 because they had 12 men on the field than Norv has looked at any point this year. And really, Norv's spent awhile upset this year.

Re: MNF Pats @ Bengals
I'm mostly a fan of players too. I do root for the Lions because used to go to games when I lived near Detroit every home game. So, I'd love to see them not suck even though I moved. As for the rest of the league I just love to see people playing great, be able to talk intelligently about every team and see awesome games. There are a few teams I don't follow much but I think I see a lot of most of them.
