No No. 4 in Super Bowl 44: The Running Thread

[BYH]

Suck it Favre. Because it can't be said enough.

Colts are 3 1/2 pt favorites. As Cowbell says: Put a lot of cabbage on 'em.

First post. Colts win. Book it.

Colts 31, Saints 21

Colts 35, Saints 17.

Reggie Bush makes the winning play for the Saints.

Reggie Bush makes the winning play for the Saints.

Are you going with the theory that he shows up in about half his games?

 

[dooley_womack1]

Going with my gut, is all.

Brett Favre wanted to play football this year.
The Vikings wanted to sign him.
What was so wrong about that?
His stats and won-loss record clearly showed he was capable. There were 27 other starting NFL Qbs who didn't get where he was.

There are people that just plain hate Brett Favre. Nothing rational about it.

There are people that just plain hate Brett Favre. Nothing rational about it.

And then there are Packers fans, who have always hated the Vikings. Favre going over there amplified the situation.

I'm taking the Colts 24-21.

Free country. A guy who worked at Lowe's is allowed to go work for Home Depot.

Really, it's a free country? Thanks for that.

What I'm saying is, rooting against Favre and the Vikings isn't necessarily an irrational hatred for some.

Colts 34, Saints 24.

And the fans are free to hate his guts for it. The root word of "fan" is "fanatic," after all.

Serious question: does it get tiring, constantly cheering for Favre to fail miserably?

And I'm allowed to hate that guy

No, because he never fails to fail.

Nah. I've only spent a few games doing it. (Both Packers games, both playoff games.) And when the last pick was thrown I was actually charged with an intense jolt of energy. It was exhilarating. :)

In baseball, the only thing better than cheering for the Brewers is rooting against the Cubs.

28 actually, but when the guy says anything short of winning the Super Bowl is a failure to him, and he doesn't win it, it's hard for me to not say "suck it" when I hate him as much as I do.
