Postseason Football
I got my football wish yesterday. While there are many reasons that I do not like the Patriots - none of them being that they are so successful - and there really was no team going into the weekend that I particulary was rooting for, I still enjoyed watching the Patriots go down.
I was at my friend's house watching the Indy-Pittsburg game, and he is a big Pittsburg fan, I was secretly rooting for Indy. How can you not love Manning...those Mastercard ads are fantastic. Sadly he must figure out how to win the big games. Elway eventually did so there is hope.
I couldn't care less about the two NFC games. Will it be the Seahawks or the Panthers? The answer is that I do not care.

Appendix:
Reasons to hate the Patriots.
- Belichick - one time coach of my sad team, Cleveland Browns. During his tenure in Cleveland he was horrid, never talked to the press, and fueled Model's move to Baltimore. Plus everyone thinks he is a genius. Evidence he is not...tenure in Cleveland.
- Tom Brady - U of M (MU as I prefer) grad. That should be enough for anyone who reads this blog.
- Patriots win Super Bowl following 9/11. I am not a conspiricy theorist but it was a bit much for me. Especially with the whole Patriot-Raider snow bowl game that they should not have won.
- Patriots attitude that they will always win and that the breaks will go their way.

On the one hand this expression of Patriot-hate seems a bit like crapping on their funeral. I mean, they lost. On the other hand, I'm sure there are tons of annoying Pats fans out there wailing, "we'll get you next year!" So, I guess it's only fair to express your hate, especially if it's enduring. And it's a pretty well-supported hate, I'll give you props on that. The one thing I totally agree with you on is that Belichick is not a genius. I think the sports media is waaaay to willing to herald coaches as genius or master tacticians.
True, but I am not new to Patriot disliking, my list supports that, and I never made any bones about wanting them to lose.
I must say that my dislike of the Yankees is much more based on their success and $$$$$$$ then anything else. If I could buy the best players and win 26 out of 100 championships I would do it also.
