Um, no. I don't like any team that mysteriously has "fans" all over the country despite playing in a relatively insignificant city. Steeler fans who aren't from Pennsylvania are like Cowboy fans to me. It's almost as if they just started rooting for them because the Steelers were successful when they were young! That would be like me rooting for the Bulls. Plus Hines Ward is a douche and Roethlisberger is a moron.

I've been a Steeler fan since that Super Bowl X win, so I guess I'm guilty.....as for your assessment of Ben & Hines, your entitled to your opinion....but I would feel the same way if I was a frustrated Jets fan! and I know a lot of them. You guys have gone through a lot of hand ringing since that Namath victory.

I agree, but don't you love the Celtics? Do you just like them when they play the Lakers?

you would not understand the pittsburgh thing.

Actually I think ateam likes(ed) the Timberwolves.

And I take a bit of an exception of the illegal nature
of disregarding one's love of a team outside their hometown.
I took a fascination to the LA Rams when I was 8 years old
because of their helmets. I wrote members of the team
got autographed pictures back... I would buy the LA paper
at the airport, begged my Dad to take me so I could keep up.
ANd all I did was suffer. And get goaded by Cowboy fans.
I completely dropped the team when they moved to St. Louis.
Thus the Super Bowl win meant nothing to me.

I humbly petition that my past infatuation be granted as legitimate.

I was a T'Wolves fan from 1995-2007, originally because of KG. When KG was finally traded, I had a decision to make, and after a summer of agonizing, I jumped ship, only because I felt that KG was the victim in the situation. If KG had forced his way out of Minnesota (i.e. what Kobe tried to do with the Lakers), I'd still be a Wolves fan, but it was the unfathomable repeated idiocy of Glen Taylor and Kevin McHale that forced him out. I don't plan on jumping again ever, and I'd never change allegiances from the Jets.

My only point is it's lame to become a fan of a team solely because they're good, IMO, and a lot of Cowboy and Steeler fans strike me as those kind of people. I'm not calling out anyone here, but I was asked why the Steelers annoyed me and I answered.

Blow me. Weren't you an Angels fan on the old ESPN board?

LOL...Some of that's because I bet them to win their division in 2006. I got like 6-1 or 7-1 at the Allstar break. You're right though, I used to like them from 2001-2006( when they still had Erstad n' Kennedy.) They played as a team. When those 2 got cut loose, they lost some intensity. They aren't as clutch in the post. I didn't care how they did the last 2 years. I guess it was more about the players than the organization. Anyways, I grew up halfway between Dodger Stadium, and the Big A. When the Dodgers play the Angels, it's not even close(want the Dodgers to win every game.) Ain't like I've ever pulled for a team that isn't within an hour's drive.

This game is such garbage. I can't remember a Super Bowl with less juice.

Joey will you become a nets fans when they move to Brooklyn?

Nah. I'm dying to have a Brooklyn team to root for, but I can't jump again. I'd be conflicted when the Celts played the Nets, but I'd still be a Celtic fan. This is why I'm hoping they don't actually end up moving.

I wish we'd get a baseball team here, then I'd be set.

Yep, and it's real hard to get somebody to start a franchise where another one gave up. Took forever for Washington to get another franchise. L.A. doesn't have a NFL team. You want them shitty Padres?

How bout those three of the four BILLS Super Bowls all the juice was with the Redskins & Cowboys, those three were unwatchable.

I didn't have much hope for Tenn-St. Louis and was pleasantly surprised. If you throw out the pre-conceived notion that you need a name team ( or a major metro market Scuds), I think the game itself can be great to watch.

I remember my late friend Cory going on a crazy rant the minute after the Rams beat us in the 2002 NFC championship game, saying that he's betting the house on the Rams, and that it's not even a watchable game because of the lobsidedness, yadda yadda yadda. I remember it like it was yesterday. We tore his Reggie White jersey off of him and whipped him with it. My 2nd most fondest football memory with him, next to the last game at the Vet, when Jurevicius silenced the crowd after BURNING Levon Kirkland. You could hear a rat squeeze a $hit out it was that quiet after the game. Some drunk guys were climbing the black fence to get into the game, it was great. (until the 2nd half).


This year reminds me of that for some reason. The Steelers are going to be heavy faves (in terms of Conference Champions), and the Cardinals are going to be overlooked. No one thought that theyd be here, but they are, deservingly so. My final sports bets of the near future will be tails, the Cardinals, and the under.

Add me to this one. Best SB ending that I can remember, up until last year. All I wished for was a good game to watch, and that I hit my block pools.
