Re: finally gonna have a tiebreaker game
[ QUOTE ]
Our sport teams are the most important thing in the town. But we don't accept management thats not committed to the team.. especially when we have such an amazing owner in Pat Bowlen. I'm sorry if you continue to support owners that fleece you, but we have higher expectations here and a number of championships in the last decade. [/ QUOTE ] that's fine and probably a good approach, but it doesn't make you die hards.

[ QUOTE ] That throw from right was so bad that even Barry Bonds says it was a horrible throw. [/ QUOTE ] And yet, it wasn't the worst throw by a Pads OF tonight. [/ QUOTE ] About 80% of OF throws there are off-line and there is no play at the plate.

[/ QUOTE ] I was thinking the same thing in regards to agreeing.. but I don't think the issues are mutually exclusive. I want the best for my teams over any personal deal.. and sometimes that means not supporting them if they are screwing me.

Basically, I dislike blind homerism based on where you happened to be born, and poor consumerism. I like the Vikings because I was born there, fine, but I'm not going to root for them when they make stupid decisions and are completely inept. If they want my dollars, they are going to have to work for them, just like every other company in America has to work for them. If they don't want my dollars, thats fine, there are probably enough "die hards" to keep any retarded franchise afloat. I'll just take my business elsewhere. I grew up eating Cheerios but if General Mills changes the recipe and starts making [censored]-flavored Cheerios I'm going to switch to Corn Flakes.
