I strongly disagree–“The Bandwagon” is a delightful film! Fred Astaire, Jack Buchanan; and that great “Triplets” number! Who could take offense at that?
You people got it all wrong.
You’re not supposed to root for a team, you’re supposed to root against a team. It’s way better that way. For me, if the Dolphins win, they got lucky. If they lose, the truth is out! I actually root against all Florida teams. I lived there long enough to dislike them all. Just think, the annual Florida/Florida State game is pure pleasure for me.

Ahh yes, being a life long Cowboys fan is not always easy. Please don’t make the assumption that all of the Cowboys jersey wearin’ mo-fo’s out there are bandwagoneering fools. I grew up in Oklahoma and TX and have always been a fan of the Cowboys, Rangers, Stars (but not the Mavericks - they suck, then again, I don’t like basketball)
Oh, and Satan, one more thing… put some underwear on! You’re going to catch cold!

An idiot friend of my SO was over this weekend, on Sunday. He wanted to watch Green Bay on ESPN last night because he’s “a huge fan”.
This MORON had NO IDEA who Holmgren was, but he’s a BIG FAN?
Yes, I made him leave. Grrrrrr…
chuckle
Green Bay fans generally hate me, probably because I always make fun of Brett Favre and his Vicodin addiction. Terrible, I know. But Favre is just such a mo-ron…what was up with that weepy press conference after their first game this season? “Waaaaah, we won.”
And Satan? Need I remind you that your precious Giants have won another Super Bowl since 1986? At least you’ve HAD that pleasure…
>>>I grew up in Oklahoma and TX and have always been a fan of the Cowboys, Rangers, Stars
You predicted their move from Minnesota?

You are aware Holmgren is in Seattle now, right?

I have no problem with you. For you are not supporting the other two teams I mentioned there. Please note the conjunction “and” that was used in that statement…
I hope your team doesn’t kill us too bad in front of a national television audience yet again next week! sob 
Oh, but we KICKED YOUR RANGERS ASS!
Sorry… Needed to retain a shade of my dignity here…
Being a lifelong Vikings fan, I well understand heartbreak.
This year, though, I joined a fantasy football league. Ambivalence is seeing your defense sack Randall Cunningham three times.
Lifelong Astros fan. Was an Oilers fan until that rat-bastard Adams had to move the team to Tennesee (granted it IS the most beautiful area in America). Always loved both, even when they lost (or should I say, even when the WON?). I hated all those people who were all over the Oilers until they blew the infamous lead. Who was wearing his Oilers shirt shortly thereafter? Me. Not anyone else I knew. Mock me all you want, but there was just something about both teams. Never pulled for the popular college teams when I was a kid, either. I knew people wearing Miami, FSU, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, etc hats all the time, but I could never get myself on the bandwagon.

Yes, Satan, I am. 
I’d post that I agree with Chief, but I’m afraid he might think that I was jumping on the… 
Mojo sez…
Uh… no, I didn’t. Then again I don’t think I ever said I was a NORTH STARS fan. The North Stars moved to Dallas in 1993. So, YES, I’ve ALWAYS been a STARS fan.
Hey! Guess What? I DIDN’T predict the Texas Rangers’ move here from Washington (Senators) in 1972 either! I guess according to you, I’m a bandwagoner because I didn’t pledge allegiance at the teams inception. Puh-leeze.

Oh, and by the way, I’m sure everybody knows that losing to the Yankees in 3 was part of our master plan.
Wait 'til next year damnit!!!
go sooners

Don’t worry about it. New Yorkers are used to seeing the Rangers lose.

Amen ChiefScott. As a lifelong Cubs fan I have no love for people who are now Cheeseheads, Spurs fans, Cowboy backers, etc. It takes a real fan to stick with a loser (that may be the worst rallying cry of all time.)>>>> Mullinator
But what if you care about whether your team wins? I mean, as a “lifelong Cubs fan,” son’t you wish and hope that they put it together and the team wins the pennant, and the World Series?
Then is there some twisted logic in being a “real fan” and “sticking with a loser?” I mean, Phil points out the Indians are packing them in, game after game after game, but – they are WINNING! The Cubs pack the fans in game after game after game, and have finished above .500 3 times since 1973, and a grand total of 12 times altogether in the last 60 years. What impetus do the owners of the Cubs have in putting a winning team on the field, when their “loyal” fans continue to pack the ballpark, and every 6 year old kid in the Chicago area has a Cubs cap on? “Loyalty?” If the businesses I work with supplied me with that kind of service, do I continue to frequent them?
As long as Cubs fans stay as “loyal” as they apparently are, there will never be a pennant on the north side of Chicago, because the bean counters at the Tribune are saying “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?” At least in Cleveland, the ownership got sick of it and made the necessary changes. If only we could make such changes on the south side of Chicago.

I’d like to thank the Peytote Cowboy for proving why I HATE the niners. You have really stuck with them through the tough years. There was that one year that they almost missed the playoffs in there!
Rat Shit Bastard…you are the reason I can never see anybody but the fucking niners or the shit ass broncos! Fuck off and die all of you. I want to watch my Lions baby!
Why should I be a loyal fan when the players aren’t? Or the coachs? Or the sponsers?
We’ve totally lost the Greek ideal of sports competition. Maybe that’s just as well, I sure as hell wouldn’t watch a single NFL game if they played the greek way.
Sake Sam –
We aren’t asking you to be a loyal fan. Do as you wish. We are just supporting our assertion that if you show up to work the day after the World Series ends wearing the winning team’s ball cap, bragging about how great that team is you should be prepared to have your coffee spit in, car scratched, ridicule heaped upon you and to suffer a ritualistic stoning in the parking lot on your smoke break.
