Your 2011-12 NFL Thread: Lock Out Fever, Catch It!

This is a first:

Thank you Giants.

First?

I think he means he never rooted for the Giants and won before. I myself was rooting for the Pats in the Super Bowl because the Giants are fucking geigh and I wanted the 72 Dolphins to feast on shitburgers once and for all. I did root for the Giants against the 49ers when they blew Joe Montana to smithereens so there was much rejoicing then. But go Niners next week. I mean, yeah, thank you, Giants and all. Now go the blue fuck away.

Not even here?

Oh, yeah. :)

Neither would Alfonso Soriano, damn his eyes.

I laughed - before the explanation. You sold yourself short a bit here.

I had a hard time rooting for either SF or NYG yesterday. I kept forgetting who I wanted to win and why. In the end I was for the Giants because I want to see them get served by the Patriots in retaliation for their inexplicable victory in the last matchup - which pissed me off mainly because the '72 Dolphins remained relevant. I'm going to be in Indy for the Super Bowl and the Manning facefuckery and Patriots hate will get me back in the mood to rock a hoodie with sleeves cut and scowl at everyone I meet. My grudges run deep.

As CT wisely pointed out 4 years ago--and changed my mind in doing so--the Patriots finishing a championship season undefeated and untied may have gone a long way toward shutting up those asshats from Miami. However, in doing so, that would merely kick off another several decades of NEW self-important asshattery from a possibly MORE insufferable bunch.  The '72 Dolphins, after all, will soon all be dead anyway, so I'm fine with those guys hanging on to the record for now, because it means I won't have to brace for 40 more years of Tedy Bruschi and Wes Welker popping bubbly and slapping themsleves on the back every time some subsequent team lost their first game of the season after Halloween.

Yeah, Massholes are as bad as it gets without having That to hang their hat on. They can say "GREATEST TEAM EVAH" about any of their three titles and people will say "no, not even close." That's what we've got. Dolphins fans are easy to disable considering very few of the ones I deal with have any real connection to the 72 dolphins and their franchise has been total horseshit for the last decade. LET THEM KEEP IT. Plus you can always asterisk the 72 Dolphins by pointing out the 14 game schedule and the .328 opponent winning %. The 2007 Patriots would have been damn near ironclad.

Giant fans aren't even the most insufferable fans in NY.

Have we even been treated to a '72 Dolphins champagne toast on ESPN since 2008?

I certainly don't recall a single mention of Mercury Morris crossing my mental transom after Green Bay fell in KC this season. Maybe it's just because I don't maintain rapt attention to ESPN much these days myself, but I feel like even the braintrust in Bristol have stopped giving shit about that those fading stars.

And that would indeed make Super Bowl XLII win-win.

Well... Maybe win-win-lose.

Because fuck the Giants.

They're a close second, which puts them in the shirtless team pic for most insufferable fans worldwide. And yes, I do recognize Bears fans' robust appearance on the periphery of said pic.

*On a barely-related note, I watched the Knicks/Denver game on NBA TV the other night with the Knicks feed. I had forgotten how much I love Clyde Frazier. He rips that team to shreds nightly and it's totally deserved and hilarious. Walt's the best there is in my opinion. And Carmelo Anthony is the worst great basketball player I've ever seen.

All this is valid. That said: try living in Indianapolis for one day and not wish bad things upon every Manning who ever existed. I defy you. Even Ricky.
