Hamlet, we’ve gone around and around on this issue. I love my team thick and thin, and you know that…but I’m not going to root for a shitty offensive coordinator coupled with a shitty offense. What am I supposed to do, start a thread bout the Mighty John Quinn? give me a break.
I watched every game this year beginning to end, got to see a game at soldier field and i put up with shit from packers, vikings and god forbid DETROIT fans from day one.
believe me I DO root FOR Chicago. I root against Favre for reasons that have jack shit to do with football. Just how I trashed Brian Urlacher for cheating on his wife and abandoning his daughter.
I’m tired of NFL player special treatment on every team.
I’m one of those who thinks the NFC playoffs are cute, like girls crowding outside the locker room door after a highschool football game, each hoping she’ll be the one lucky enough to be AFC’s bitch.
Every year when the Packers get eliminated from the playoffs, the fans always start talking about titles that were won in like the 30’s or something when there were like four teams and the players wore leather helmets.
At least we’re still talking. I guarantee every Viking fan up here will stash the gear and talk about Twins spring training 2 hours after the next loss this year.
I’m taking about watching titles being won in the '30’s? Holy shit I’m old!
Let’s see… Dallas won 3 superbowls in the 90’s, Denver and San Francisco won 2 each. The other three victories went to Green Bay, Washington, and New York (N). So Green Bay, in actuality, is in a three-way tie for fourth place of “owning the league in the 90s.”
The Packers have won exactly one championship in the era of color television. To hear the fans talk, you’d think they were some kind of enduring dynasty.
jarbabyj, at least the Bears have won a Superbowl. Every year Vikings fans have to listen to “How many rings have YOU won?” from cheeseheads even if we beat them. The purple is 0 for 4 and even the 0 for 4 was a long time ago.
I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve seen a Viking fan bring up the SB record. Much respect to you for staying honest. I’ll find it hard to muster the strength to give you a lot of shit next Sunday night.
You’re joking, right? By any measure, the Pack had a nice decade. Two Super Bowl appearances and one win. They most assuredly did not OWN the decade. I realize that most Packer fans have drank too much paint thinner to have much memory left, so this should be a decent refresher.
Oh, now you clarify yourself. I should have expected that the foam dripping from your lips shorted out your keyboard. Maybe had you said “Never seen your team win the Super Bowl” we would have known…
Put down the methamphetamine, duffer. Relax. I imagine you crouched over your keyboard in a trailer up on blocks somewhere rocking back and forth imagining legions of opponents who want your blood and who are struck to the core by your paranoid ravings.
Within a minute of DTC posting about the Viking win, I congratulated him and admitted the Packers sucked that game. Cite. I also wished them luck next week. Expressing displeasure with Moss’ actions or negative fans does not make me a sore loser. duffer may be another story, but you didn’t aim this comment at him. But your graciousness in winning rates you right up there with him.
I musty correct myself. Your congratulations notwithstanding, my comment to you was based on the “Packers fans are better than Vikings fans and Bears fans” post above, and not more whining about Moss’s TD celebration. I’m sorry if I misinterpreted it, but even more than I dislike people bitching about TD celebrations, it’s “We’re better fans than you.”
I don’t care what team you root for. Stop patting yourself on the back. It’s entertainment. Fandom of sports is morally neutral.
If I could find the post you were referring to where I said Packer fans are better than Viking fans or Bears fans, you might have some point. But I can’t and you didn’t. The only thing I said is that negative fandom, where you root against someone, and take joy at failure is pathetic. Packer fans do it to, case in point the Charles Martin travesty. Or the mooning. If Javon Walker had pulled the crap that Moss did, I’d think it just as immature and disrespectful. But I guess we just read what we want to read.
Typical Delicate Wisconsin Woman: “That Randy Moss can kiss my ass, don’tcha know. Hey, Randy! Fahck you!” Then she throws an empty pint of blackberry brandy at his head and tries to wriggle out of her snowmobile suit so she can moon him.
Sounds like Trunk hasn’t spent much time in Wisconsin.
