Happens to me every week when I make this thread. Have to copy to notepad first, fix the formatting, copy and past into the thread and fix the formatting again. I think they do that on purpose so no crawlers can mine the data easily.

ahhhh. I'm too lazy to learn myself anything beyond c/p.

Just can't wait for that very quickly approaching time when both brady and can'tplayincoldmanning are out of the game and they leave a couple bandwagons full of sobbing schmucks.

They'll hop on a new one soon enough. Dallas went through this after the Triplets and Dynasty era. All the bandwagoners hopped onto Houston the second they started having some decent seasons. And, watching how quickly they're falling off now is rather humorous. For the past few years, they've been nothing but trash talking the Cowboys and now they are silent as the dead.

I heard they caught Tampa Bay's AIDS and died?

would that be Tampa BAIDS?

I love some of these.. Would definitely buy a soccer jersey or apparel with the 49er logos.

I'll never understand how people can change the team they're rooting for. Short of a permanent move it just seems wrong. Hell I moved to this area three years ago and still don't give much of a shit about Indy or Chicago. It just feels like cheating to root for anybody other than what I grew up watching. I guess that's what makes bandwagoners so despicable.

I do tend to pull for the local team(s), assuming they aren't mortal enemies. Only because it's more fun to have a local team winning, or even to share in their misery.

I still keep primary allegiances, but I have had no shame in pulling for the Cubs/A's (Mets), the Chargers/Bears/Niners/Seattle (Redskins) because there are no real conflicts.

Especially with football, I tend to pick "new teams" based on players.

Here we have it folks, a tiered bandwagon approach. :awe:

I'm the same way, I have "my team" but there's a few others I enjoy watching and sometimes a team will change from year to year in that secondary list.

Bay Area guy here. I only root for the 49ers when it comes to football (and the Packers for the fiance's sake). Baseball, I guess I root for both the Giants and the A's, but I'm not heavily interested in baseball to care much. I just enjoy watching the game (in person, can't stand it on TV).

it's merely convenience. I don't want to go to a bar all the time just to watch my team, so I get used to following whatever is local.

Diehard allegiance used to make me sick--mentally and physically--and I find that I just enjoy the games more if I can make myself enjoy various teams. meaning, I am able to watch anything that is on, not only my team.

Plus, I was born into college sports. Pro sports were never enforced growing up. I only really got into them as a means to keep track of those athletes that I really liked in college. Though, I have turned away from the NBA because it is a terrible farce of something resembling basketball, and have gotten more into the NFL over the years, and can barely stomach college football.

Washington shoulda named Rex Grossman their new starter. That way they can say they benched RG3 and their new starter is RG3. Rex Grossman III.

As long as Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder are the owners of their respective teams, the NFC East is really a two team race. Philadelphia and NY.

 

[MaxPayne63]

Impressive effort by Cutler so far. The 2nd quarter isn't even over and he's already thrown more picks than McCown did in six games.

 

[dbk]

Kirk Cousins!

 

[TheVrolok]

Pretty soft PI call in the Vikings/Eagles game. Seems like the call/no-call on PI all depends on what side of the bed a given ref woke up on that morning.

 

[Kyle]

Weird in Seattle game, WR basically pushed out of bounds so now he can't come back in and be an eligible receiver? I didn't know that was the case

Cutler's throwing arm is stronger than his brain. Some Denver fans still miss him. The Titans still want this guy to be their future QB?

 

[Agent11]

Eli Manning has thrown three interceptions so far. . . lol

Not that anyone cares, but here's why from mike pereria
"Regarding your tweets, it makes no difference if Tate was pushed out there. The QB was out of the pocket - WR can legally be pushed OOB"

 

[lupi]

Vikes doing their darnedest to give NFC east to the girls.

Someone did care. You cared enough to reply your own post.

 

[dbk]

Unbelievable decision by Chip Kelly there...AND he challenged it to lose a TO!! Foolish!

 

[smackababy]

Yes! And I love them for it.


So, it looks like benching RG3 has worked out. They might not beat one of the worst teams in the NFL!

 

[lupi]

If you've got the browns D today you're looking good.

 

[dbk]

Bears gonna blow this game!!!!
