AFC team (since the NFC team has knocked out the eagles one game short half the time).

Only exception was when I cheered for the giants (gross) to beat the Pats and stop their undefeated season. Then i felt dirty all over.

this year i actually cheered for the cardinals cause i live in Cleveland and hate the steelers as much as the cowboys. but usually i cheer for the AFC team. i did cheer for the giants just because that season was all about the cowboys and patriots and i was happy to see the perfection ruined.

i had to take a long shower to clean myself after cheering for the giants tho

Every damn season the Steelers are in the playoffs, and I just can’t stand them. I root against them. All my friends are Steelers fans as well as my family.

Whoever plays the Steelers, when the Eagles aren’t in it.

My order of teams that I root for:

I’ll root for teams in this order

1. Eagles!
2. I have a healthy respect for Baltimore
3. Colts? Rams? Seahawks?
indifferent towards most teams
28. Patriots
29. Redskins
30. Giants
31. Steelers (It’s a central PA thing) followed closely by
32. Cowboys

I have rooted for
Wikings and Falcons.
But when I root for someone in the AFC its Jets and Ravens (and mabye Bills now..if you catch my drift)

The post about Your 2nd favorite team got me thinking

Thank you

If the birds are out, then I am indifferent, to a point. If the Cowboys or Giants are still in it, then I will actively root against them (I don’t know why, I have never considered the Redskins in the same vein as the ’boys or the ’jints, as far as being a hated rival goes). Otherwise, I really could care less.

im Irish so obviously im stubborn … if the Eagles are out so am i … i will watch Superbowl because its 2 great teams battling it out but i wont hesitate to go refill my plate with snacks regardless of whats going on in the game

I actually cheer for close games and big comebacks. I have caught myself cheering for both teams throughout a game, just so that it was interesting and close. If the Eagles are out, I simply cheer for a close game OR a major underdog.

then football games are just another excuse to drink, eat nachos, and chill with friends

not that an excuse is really needed, but it helps

I like to think that the only team that can beat the Eagles is the one that will win it all. I don’t follow it very well though since I rooted for Steelers this year (same reasoning- f*** fairweather fans).

I mean, you always get your kooks coming out of the woodworks with their flags and hats come super bowl time. Made me sick the year before the influx of Vagiants paraphernalia I encountered.

Just like how its gonna be flooded with Eagles stuff this year :)

Anyway, I’ve always seen sporadic Steelers, Giants, NE fans here and there. Not once have I ever seen a Cardinals flag or sticker until the bowl. I mean, jeez, they couldn’t even sell out a wild card game…their 1st one in a decade. Disgraceful. People can say what they will about Philly fans, but one thing is always true…WE SHOW UP.

What item in your apartment/house is the fall guy for the last Eagles loss? Obviously, something needs to be thrown at a high speed at something else. The logical fall guy is the remote control. I was very tame this year – I threw a mug into the back yard at the end of the first half against the Cardinals. Actually, it went into the neighbor’s yard behind us – It was quite a throw.

The year the Bucs beat us, I was holding those silver stress balls in my hand and one of them was almost thrown at the TV on the Ronde Barber interception, but thankfully, I double clutched and put a nice stress-ball sized hole in the wall instead. Kind of ironic that a “stress ball” would be used in such a way.

I rooted for the Steelers because we lost to the Cardinals and I was mad
Sadly, I rooted for the Giants because I didn’t want the Pats to have a perfect season and I wanted Strahan to win the ring(because he’s the only Giant I respect).
The Bears because they beat the Saints who beat us and because I use to hate Peyton.
Strange reasoning.
