Like A Mofo Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 I always root for the AFC team ! 588668[/snapback] Even if it was the Dolphins or the Jets or the Pats?
Fan in San Diego Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Even if it was the Dolphins or the Jets or the Pats? 588675[/snapback] Yes, always ! I hate the fact that the NFC has won more SB's than the AFC.
The Dean Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Who said I was a Bills' fan? Seattle and Portland are completely different cities. Please don't associate me with Seattle. I pulling for the Seahawks, though, just because I don't have any other team around here to support. 588660[/snapback] Oh well, then...maybe everyone from Seattle is an !@#$. Never been to Portland, but I hear good things. OTOH, our Seattle experience was less than encouraging.
Like A Mofo Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, always ! I hate the fact that the NFC has won more SB's than the AFC. 588680[/snapback] Wow. All I can say is wow. Root for HATED RIVALS because of 3 letters A F C...Wow
The Dean Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 True, but you can say the same thing about any other team...well cannot blame NE because we are bad too.... Im sorry but you think for one second Pittsburgh fans would root for Buffalo because Buffalo is a similar city to Pittsburgh? Please!!!! 588669[/snapback] Well, my guess is some would (just like some use that as a reason for rooting for Pittsburg, Detroit, Cleveland, etc). But given their relative proximity, i bet there are many overlapping fans. It's a hell of a lot easier to drive to a game in Pittsburgh than one in NYC (yet there are tons of Yankee fans in WNY...hmmm). I'm a Bills fan...first and foremost. But, I like the Steelers...saw them play at Pitt Stadium during the war of the Terry's (Bradshaw and Hanratty) and went to 3 Rivers on many occasions. Rooney always ran a class organization, IMO. That a fan of the Bills is a fan of any of the teams in the surrounding area (figure 4-5 hours) should come as no surprise. Oh...one more thing NEVER root for the Fins...period.
MelissaInPhilly Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Definitely Seahawks, although I think Peeburgh wins. I HATE THE STEELERS!! As if approximately 350 of my posts hadn't said that already. Mike 588427[/snapback] I hate the Steelers too, Buckeye. Interestingly, even though Pittsburgh is in Pennsylvania, I don't see too much support for the Steelers. I guess people are still thinking about last year. One city, one team, one dream . . . . (sob)!
Fan in Chicago Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Im sorry but you think for one second Pittsburgh fans would root for Buffalo because Buffalo is a similar city to Pittsburgh? Please!!!! 588669[/snapback] What does that have to do with anything ? My choices are not dependent on theirs. Having said that, I would hate the Cowboys even if their fans rooted for us.
Johnny Coli Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Oh well, then...maybe everyone from Seattle is an !@#$. Never been to Portland, but I hear good things. OTOH, our Seattle experience was less than encouraging. 588683[/snapback] Wow...I've been to Seattle a ton of times and have had a blast every time. Great music scene, outstanding record stores, good drinking town...not too big. I'm shocked Dean...shocked.
The Dean Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Wow...I've been to Seattle a ton of times and have had a blast every time. Great music scene, outstanding record stores, good drinking town...not too big. I'm shocked Dean...shocked. 588715[/snapback] Went their for a Bills game with a great group of people. It seems as though everyone we ran into was either rude, incompetant...or both. For example, we were in a bar and they had their music calendar on the wall. Well, it was the 1st of the month (or the 2nd), but the calendar was for the previous month. I asked, do you know who's playing tonight? The answer (this would become a trend) was, "No". Not, "No...let me see if I can find out." Not, "No, they don't put the calendar up for a few days so the first few days of the month are always a surprise."...Just, "No." Later in another bar, my friend orders a bottle of beer and asks the unengaged, personality-less bartender, "Do you have a cold glass?) I'm betting you know the answer he received..."No." NO? He has glasses and he has ice...it doesn't take Einstein to figure out how to get this guy a cold glass for his beer. These are just two examples in a weekend filled with them. Bad service, bad food, rudeness, a REALLY crappy stadium (King Dome) and a terrible game. Plus, Seattle is home to the worst music in the country, IMO (I'm sure this is where many will disagree). I'd rather watch an old man country band in a joint in Tennessee (and I'm no country fan) than listen to a bunch of posers and Kurt Cobain wannabees play terrible punk/alternative/garage band music in a "hipster" club. Damn that place sucked. With that said, I'd give it another chance.
Tcali Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 What does the AFC winning the Super Bowl actually do for the Bills? I need to know 588444[/snapback] Clements...we frail human beings...living in an insecure world...need ANY bit of vicarious victory we can attain. To SOME..that means the victory of the conference of the team that one roots for to get a vicarious feeling of victory. A pitt win will provide that to some.
The Senator Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Damn that place sucked. With that said, I'd give it another chance. 588732[/snapback] Not I - I hope I never see "Duwamps" again! Granted, it rained the whole time, and we were hung over the whole time, and Kelly and the Bills stunk up the joint (Kingdome), but it just seemed such a miserably depressing place. Had to leave the game in the 3rd quarter and drown my misery in a bottle of Booker Noe at McCormick's. (Nice bar - I will say that!) And that underground city thing? It's just a bunch of old basements, ferchrissakes! GO STEELERS!
meazza Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 i bet 100$ on the steelers. i rarely bet straight out on games unless im 99% confident and cowher will find a way to phaze hasselback
Fan in San Diego Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Wow. All I can say is wow. Root for HATED RIVALS because of 3 letters A F C...Wow 588691[/snapback] I don't hate the Steelers. And yes the AFC being the better conference than the NFC is important to me.
meazza Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I don't hate the Steelers. And yes the AFC being the better conference than the NFC is important to me. 588795[/snapback] especially when that team that is representing plays the rams, cards and niners twice as well as the packers, vikings and lions and bears (only strong team).
BobbyC81 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Did this last year and was disgusted with the amount of Patriots votes...but the past is the past... As for me... GO SEAHAWKS!! 588280[/snapback] Seahawks!! I like seeing a new team in there.

The rain depresses them.
GoodBye Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Seahawks!! I like seeing a new team in there. 588870[/snapback] I agree...besides it's their first time making it to the superbowl in the 30 yrs they've been a team.
The Senator Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Maybe go there during the summer when it's not raining. 588915[/snapback] OK...now which week is that?
Dennis in NC Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 SEA. But I am Kimo'd off.. 588297[/snapback] Wasn't Kimo blocked into Palmer? I have not seen replays since then, but it did not seem like anything intentional. Kimo has not been a dirty player, AFAIK.
