I've never been torn between who to root for in the SB...until now!

[NIGHT STALKER]

Everyday I change my mind on who I should pull for. Since '72, all I've heard from fin fans (and it's especially more so living in the middle of dolfag land) is their undefeated season and how they are the best team ever. Then there's the cheating thing with the Pats and all that comes with that team.

My daughter's boyfriend and family are Giants fans...

Now, of course we have Shula pulling for the Giants so his ****ing perfect season stays in tact.

And of couse Shula not having the Orange Bowl field covered during the night creating the famous "Mud Bowl" in '83...making our running game non-existent.

I wish they would just cancel this game.

NFL | Shula pulling for New York

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:23:40 -0800

Mike Bianchi, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports former NFL head coach Don Shula said he will be rooting for the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, but will be the first one to congratulate the New England Patriots if they win.

You just need to look for the silver lining:

Pats win: At least the Giants didn't win

Giants win: At least the Patriots perfect season goes up in smoke

Either scenario truly sucks for a Jets fan, but what else can you do?

[nylandingstrip]

look its as simple as this, if ur a jet fan u root for the giants. the pats are ur division rival.

is that how it works? You need to expand your "simple" logic because it's a lot more complicated than that.

[SoFlaJets]

Go Giants

[RSJ]

I really don't care who wins. If the Pats win I will ignore their fans, ditto if the Giants win.

Exactly Craig...like the fins aren't in our divison. This game really sucks in more way than one.

[MasonJet]

I have to give my completely unenthusiastic support to the Giants. I don't know what would be worse, listening to Chowds talking about "pafection" or listening to Vaginant fans talking about beating the undefeated Pats.

It just makes me want to

[Blackout]

the giants havent won a superbowl in 17 years why not let them win another?

the pats win them every other year nowadays.

To be honest guys, I've never been so lackadaisical when it came to the super bowl. I could care less who wins and will probably go to Disney this weekend and try to forget about the Jets not being there.

[T-Mac]

Guess I'll have to pull for my Rutgers alumnus, Shawn O'Hara. It'll be tough, though.

I agree 100 percent.

I hope they kill each other. It is like 1986 all over again being a Yankee fan and having the Mets and the Red Sox in the World Series.

Happily there are very few Vagiant fans here is SC so I haven't had to put up with the crap that most of you do. (Except from my best friend but I have heard that for over 30 years).

Maybe that satellite that is supposedly going to fall from the sky will crash the stadium during the game or something like that.

This sucks

[faba]

If you live in this area you will have to constantly hear it-at my office it will be unbearable with the Giant fans surrounding me.

In the grand scheme of life, does it really effect you all that much who wins this game? Pats fans, Giants fans, who will be more annoying, blah, blah, blah...and the only reason I'm posting this is because I just learned that Bob Ryan's son (Long-time Globe Sports scribe and one of the only decent ones left) was just killed in Afganistan. There he is in Pheonix, covering the Pats and he gets this news. Just hits you at the darndest time via the darndest way - but here we are squabbling about what fan base is more annoying - while there are servicemen in the middle east sacrificing their lives for - well, our ability to squabble about what fan base is more annoying.

This is a football message board - I guess it kinda goes with the territory.

I've been hanging around there a bit but I haven't seen you either. And I thought you were an Edwards guy like me?

It sucks that the DNC isn't going to let Florida count for anything, but I think it's pretty screwed up that Clinton wants it to count just because she will probably win.

[Garb]

True, so true. Thing is, some people REALLY take this stuff seriously when there is REAL serious stuff going on.

Did you know that domestic disturbance calls go up dramatically during and after the SB game. Okay, you got the booze/gambling combo I guess - but I mean, C'mon now! What the heck is wrong with some people!

Or, to a lesser degree, you have posters complaining to the "powers" about a another poster's "arrogance" "annoyance" and general "d-baggery" - all because of.....annoyance on a messageboard?

I guess Jets fans are really concerned about being annoyed.

Like RSJ said in his post, this is a football message board and I was just starting a thread with just that in mind...football.

But, you are 100% right. In the grand scheme of things, football is a joke compared to a lot of other "meaningful" things in life. And giving your life for your country...well, it just doesn't get anymore meaningful than that.

Bob Ryan's life will never be the same...oh, he'll still do his media job, but a big chunk of his life has just been ripped apart...God Bless the Ryan family.

[Lurker]

-I think this is the 30th thread on which team to root for. I don't care what every individual user of JN is rooting for. I've already posted what I think on this in two previous threads.

[PaJetFan]

Go Giants! (I normally NEVER want the Giants to win..but this decision is VERY easy. Pat's are filth!)

[Irish Jet]

These threads are becoming annoying, seriously. Just pick a team and root for them or else stay neutral or don't watch the game.

I agree, people need to take football in general less seriously. If your team winning this sunday is your only concern in life, then I guess you are doing pretty good.

So you can't watch the game if you're not going to root for either team? Interesting concept.

If it annoyed you that much, you didn't have to respond...

Isn't that the point of a Messageboard??? To get your feelings accross???

These threads are pointless, I'm just pointing that out.

[Lurker]

it was probably to point out that many people before you have started threads on the same exact topic.

I'll have to remember this the next time you start a thread that's been discussed multiple times...

[Nomad]

I love the Jets, but I love NY, whoever you root for, you will have to live with its shadow. Now take into consideration, do you hate the Dolphins more than Patriots?, or you rather deal with Giants fans bashing (locally) over the Jets. If the Patriots win, it will give you another reason why to hate them worst, but if the Giants, you will be a proud New Yorker constantly looking over your shoulder.

[Green DNA]

GO GIANTS!!!!

Lets not get too many people on our bandwagon. Eli's beansack is big but we can't have too many people suckling on it at one time. It will hurt his mobility on Sunday.
