Super Bowl: Is your choice based on love or hate

[slappy4428]

I thought it pretty simple.
Are you rooting for the Giants because you hate Belichick, Randy Moss, or the whole New England area or because you love the Giants?
Do you want to see the Pats win because they are the best team in football or you love Tom Brady, or do you think Tom Coughlin is a rat *******?

Why do you want to see a particular team win: Because you like them or want the other side to fail?

I'm a lifelong Giants fan.
I expect bone-crushing disappointment.
At least it won't be as bad as the Baltimore game, when I thought they had a chance.

I'm rooting for the Patriots for three reasons: 1) It's nice to be a witness to such sports history. 2) I no longer live in the New England area so I don't really have to deal with obnoxious Pats fans. 3) I'm tired of the whole Miami's the only unbeaten, yada, yada, yada.

That said, I'm hoping the Giants keep it close. I'd like to see the Pats win 34-31, with Tynes missing the potential game-tying field goal as time expires, ala Scott Norwood.

I'm a Michigan fan, so I've always been a Tom Brady guy. Never rooted against the Patriots.

And in this game, the only outcome I want to see is 19-0. I couldn't care less about the Giants Shocking the World (tm).

Actually, the outcome I want to see is Giants 8, Patriots 4. Whatever other number appear infront of those, I could care.

At the risk of incurring Moddy's wrath...

There is not a form of death, dismemberment, pain or humiliation that I would think was too much for Bill Belichick.

I hate everything New England in the sports world, but I'm not a Giants homer either. Still pulling for the G-Men, though...

 

[bagelchick]

Hate the Patriots.

Go Giants.

You have a gun with one bullet and two men standing in front of you: Bill Belichick and Roger Clemens. Who do you choose? WHO DO YOU CHOOOOOOOOOSE?

 

[Oz]

Can't stand the Patriots, who would be the first to blow up Plaxico's 23-17 prediction while overlooking the fact that the franchise has already trademarked 19-0. Here's hoping the Giants will trademark some 18-1 t-shirts.

You're making that up Oz. The Patriots only live one play at a time. they never talk smack, never hit late and help old ladies across the street.

Oz is a liar!!!!

Meanwhile, Gregg Easterbrook, revisionist dilettante hack, flogs the dead horse to see if it's still dead.

[StormSurge]

Rooting hard for the Giants as I'm sick of hearing from obnoxious, front-running Patriots fans.

 

[forever_town]

I've always liked the Patriots. Even with Belicheat.

Obviously, if the Redskins were playing them, I'd be rooting for the burgundy and gold. But since they're not, I'm rooting for the Pats.

And, I hate Tom Coughlin with a passion rivaled by few.

I can't believe he wrote this sentence: The most recent memorable Super Bowl upset was the Giants over the Bills in 1991

 

[John]

I went to Ole Miss, so I'm kinda rooting for Eli. But I'd also kinda like to see the Pats complete the perfect season.

I think Belichick can go **** himself, but I also kinda feel the same way about Coughlin.

Gimme something close to a repeat of the regular-season game, at least in terms of entertainment, and I'll be happy.

After all, they do things the right way!

pulling for the Pats so everyone can forget about Senile Don and Crazy Mercury Morris and their run through a Hawaii-like schedule

Not The Right Way. The PATRIOT Way.

The right way is a pile of puke compared to The Patriot Way.

I would have 18 days of sex with Roger Clemens to remove Bill Belichick from this planet.

I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere, but this both reminded me of why I hate him and why I want him to fail so miserably.
