Bill Swerski Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 He's expressing his opinion on what a die-hard fan is, which he is entitled to do. 662874[/snapback] And I'm telling him that he has no right to tell me what kind of fan I am, which I'm entitled to do.

That's what I don't get. Moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I don't get. 662887[/snapback] No, I just wanted to throw a little jab at someone who thinks he has the right to tell me what kind of fan I am. That obviously had nothing to do with my argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the post above, can someone be a die-hard fan of the Steelers, Patriots, Eagles, and Falcons. None of them are in the same division. Maybe this person grew up in Pittsburgh, but has sinced lived in the other three cities. Can this person be a die-hard of all 4 teams ?

Vet Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Exactly. In fact if it ever comes down to a Colts against the Cowboys matchup, I will always root for the Cowboys to beat the Colts. And I definitely plan to where my Cowboys attire if they ever play Indy in Indy. 662873[/snapback] Thank you. And congratulations - you are a diehard Cowboys fan (who has a rooting interest in the Colts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unlike Vet, I don't proclaim to make the Rules of Fandom, so I can't really answer your question. In case you're interested, here are the other teams that I root for... MLB AL: White Sox (been a die-hard fan for 23 years) NL: Cardinals (been a fan for 20 years) NHL Former Blackhawks fan. Bill Wurtz pissed me off too many times, so I've been a Maple Leafs fan for the past five years. NBA Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarge5121976 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Vet, if you're such a diehard fan, do you stop watching football if you team does not make the playoffs? I'm a diehard football fan and a loyal Detroit Lions fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Vet, if you're such a diehard fan, do you stop watching football if you team does not make the playoffs? I'm a diehard football fan and a loyal Detroit Lions fan. 662962[/snapback] Actually, yes I usually do stop watching football after the Jets are eliminated. As a diehard fan, I'm too emotionally exhausted to watch any football after my team, the one and only team that I root for, has been eliminated. I did not watch any of the remaining three divisional championship games after the Jets lost on Saturday aftermoon - I was too devistated to watch football. I have not recovered enough to watch football this weekend. Frankly, I have no rooting interest in any of the games, so (unless I place a wager on the games) I will not watch. I may check NFL.com from time to time to catch the score, but I absolutely will not watch a single play. You see, I am a diehard Jets fan. I live and die with my team. That loss last week was emotionally draining for me. I am still emotionally exhausted from that game. I have no dog in the fight this week, so - no, won't watch. I won't watch the Superbowl either unless I'm at a party and have hade a few beers in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've certainly had years in the past where I haven't watched another quarter/inning after my team was eliminated . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will watch football regardless of who it is. It doesnt matter if it is HS, College or Pro. I couldnt imagine not watching the Superbowl. When was the last time you actually watched the Superbowl from start to finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
