Same here. To be honest, wish I could root wholeheartedly for Seattle but Carroll is a total douche.
I like seeing Indy succeed because one of my friends is a lifelong fan from Indy, and I appreciated the Polian connection. That they were perennially competing with the Pats made me side with them more.
Past players / teams I've appreciated
- the Giants (always a special place in my heart for beating the Pats twice in the big one, plus semi-local)
- Randall Cunningham-era Eagles
- Brees / Saints
- Vikings - saw parallels with the Bills' past, interest waned with Moss and their recent struggles/ineptitude
- Lions - see Vikings, loved Barry Sanders and could watch Calvin Johnson all day
Hell of a catcher.
Same here. XXV will never die in the memory, and even if Parcells and Belicheck and crew are gone, it's a bitter one.
I did soften when they played the Pats in the SB.
