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."

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.

Game over. Meh. I thought the Bengals would be able to score more than this. Hmm.

[/ QUOTE ]

lots of time left. bengals can def score more. they need a few mistakes to win but this offense has plenty of time.

Any fan that pulls for their fantasy team over their real team is not a real fan.

[/ QUOTE ]

What about the fan that bets against his favorite team?

[/ 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 would lose every FF game in every league for a Broncos superbowl without a second thought.

I don't think its appropriate to judge what I take joy in, or that I am too involved in something. The happiness I get from my team winning far outweighs the money I get from Fantasy. Then again I'm not in any 5k buy in FF leagues.

[/ QUOTE ]

But you are the arbiter of what a real fan is? I'm overstepping my bounds, but you decide who the real fans are?

I don't see it as anything worth disparaging over. 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).

I'm sorry, I shoulda qualified in my humble little opinion I don't consider that a quality of a true fan. Unfortunately I have no authority on the matter, and you are more than welcome to disagree with me. I apologize if I implied that I had authority on the matter.

If the Bengals could stop f'ing up on practically every other possession they migt have been able to make a game of this.
Carson and Ocho jawing away at each other at the end of the 1st half pretty much was the end of the game.

kornheiser tilts me so bad

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.

[vixticator]

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.

[rafiki]

well down to 2 scores. ahah too bad there is exactly zero chance they hold them from scoring.
