Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I must say I'm really torn now. A few weeks ago I would have said anybody but New England, but now I'm finding it really hard to get behind NY since they are a division rival. I think I might be leaning towards NE now. Maybe if I didn't live in NY I would feel different.

Who will you be rooting for?

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

go pats....go undefeated to shut up those dolphins

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I'm rooting for the Pats, have been all year (outside of the Skins game), but now that they're undefeated, I don't want to see it end. Especially not to the Giants.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I think I have to agree with Charlie here. Tough call though

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

As much as I would like to see the 72 Dolphins eat their collective feet, I don't want to see the Pats go undefeated. More importantly, I don't want them to win the super bowl.

Plus, it would be kind of cool if the Giants did it. Yeah, a majority of their fans are totally insufferable, but not nearly as bad as Pats fans. I'd be happy for Eli, Antonio Pierce, and Strahan if they were to pull it off, and plus it would take away a small mental advantage for next year if they won the super bowl this year. It's hard to play well at the beginning of the following season as the SB champion, and if the Giants lose even just one more game next year because they won the SB, as a Skins fan, I would be all for it.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

At this point, I'd rather see an undefeated season...I'm not rooting for the Pats in a general sense, but it's not every year any team goes undefeated.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Go Giants!! Do it for Coughlin, I kinda like the guy, the faces he makes crack me up.

I would save my vote if I were you. I am willing to bet, you will hate the Giants even more by Thursday-ish. Just listen to WFAN, should be enough to get the job done.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I would have cheered hard for the Packers, now I honestly don't care. In fact if you don't live in the Northeast or the East Coast for that matter, do you really care? I would think that noone in the South, Mid-West, or West really cares, unless they are transplants Giant's or Pat's fans. A boring SuperBowl. Yes, the Pats are going for a perfect season, but we have already seen this match-up in Week 17. Yes it was close, but been there done that!

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I would have to go with the G-Men just because I hate the Pat's more right now.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I will be rooting for the Giants to score more than 10 points and the Patriots to not score more than 50...by halftime. I can predict channel-surfing to begin at about 4:38 left in the second quarter.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Easy call for me. The Giants.

I like how Eli has quieted his critics - myself included.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I'm going with Giants. My girlfriend is from Queens, so I really have no choice but to support her. She supported me the Skins when they made their run to the playoffs.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Patriots, I hate Brady Less than I hate Eli.

Although, Seeing the Giants win would be a HUGE F...YOU to Tiki Barber. That might worth it right there.

I'm still going for the patriots.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

The NFC Champs have been are amazing to watch over the playoffs, they lack star player talent on paper but have been winning against the best teams in important games...Go Big Blue!

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I really don't like how there isn't a neither option. :(

Don't you think it's about time to change that sig, Coggs? As much as I like it, your boys are in the superbowl! Not worthy of being kicked out of the NFL ;)

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

My hatred for New England outweighs my hatred of a division rival, so I'll be rooting for the Giants. Plus I seem to like them so much more now that Shockey isn't a factor.

That wise man was ME!

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Giants.

I'm no fan of them, but my "list" goes Cowboys, Patriots, Eagles...

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I dislike the Giants, but I do not hate them like I do the Cowboys. Yes, they are in our division and if they were playing against another team like the Colts, I'd root against them. But, the Giants are playing the Patriots. I disdain the Patriots, Belichick, Brady, Wilfork and Seymour and the classlessness that they represent. Short of seeing the Redskins win the Super Bowl, there's very little I'd enjoy more than seeing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick crying on the sidelines as their team loses the big one.

FYI - I am not rooting against the Pats because they are winners. If the Jags, Colts, or several other teams were 18-0 and headed to the Super Bowl, I'd be rooting for them.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I just can't bring myself to vote for cheaters. I hope GIANTS cause an upset and the Pats go home crying.

[QUOTE=SFREDSKIN;410466]Go Giants!! Do it for Coughlin, I kinda like the guy, the faces he makes crack me up.[/QUOTE]

Hahaha, yeah he reacts on the sidelines like I do on my couch!!!

Go Gmen!

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I keep going back and forth on this for pretty much all the same reasons as the rest of you.

On one hand I'd hate to see another team from the division win the Super Bowl because I have been conditioned to hate them. But on the other hand, it would be a nice reminder to the rest of the league that the NFC East is by far the toughest division out there.

Also, the Pats were caught cheating this year. Red-handed, no doubt about it, hand-in-the-cookie-jar cheating; so how am I supposed to pretend that they had a perfect season? The "greatest team of all time" shouldn't need to cheat to win.
I know that video taping signals doesn't give you a big advantage right away, and I know that every team probably does something like this, but no other teams have actually been dumb enough to get caught doing it.
If there really is a place for [B]*[/B]'s in the record books than I think the Pats most certainly have to have a big fat one next to their name if they go on to win this thing.
I guess for that fact, I'd like to see the giants win just so I can believe that there is a little bit of cosmic justice out there.

In the end I would just love it if neither team won. I hope that the game is a boring 0-0 tie that lasts all the way until the lowest players on the depth charts faint and the game is cancelled due to a major lack of interest.
Better yet, maybe the striking writers can block the doors to the stadium and the winner can be announced during a boring press conference that no one watches like the Golden Globes. I'd be fine with that.


(oh, and I think the giants pull off the upset, just because)

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

The Gints for Two Reasons:

1. It will cement the already established fact that the NFC East is the best division in the Super Bowl Era (18 appearances, 10 wins thusfar)

2. Giants win the Super Bowl in '86
'Skins win the Super Bowl in '87

Giants win the Super Bowl in '90
'Skins win the Super Bowl in '91

I would prefer this trend to continue.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Well i'm gonna have to go for the Giants I'd rather say we got kicked out of the playoffs by the SB champs rather then the SB losers... lol I just really dislike the Patriots more then the Giants

I heard about that somewhere else too, that the last two times the Giants won the SB the Skins won it the very next year... I'd imagine you should all be rooting for the Giants so history can repeat itself right????:silly:

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Go Giants. As long as the they are still wearing #21 on their helmet and the Patriots are not, how can you root against Giants?

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I'll be rooting for the Giants. The Patriots were so damn smug citing their need to "play all four quarters" after they were passing the ball ahead 45 points on us in the 4th quarter. I'm just sorry that our team doesn't get another shot at them this year.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

As much as I would like to see history made, I will root for the G-men in the SB. I'm partial towards the NFC and particularly the east, because (arguably) it the best division in football. When you play teams in the NFC east, win or lose, you know you've been in a game. Plus, I have close relatives in NY that have been great Giant fans for many years. I'm happy for them.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I'm rooting for the Pats.. I want to see an undefeated team. Also since I live just outside Miami I won't have to hear anymore about the '72 Dolphins..

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

While I think it would be funny to watch the Pat's fall flat after accomplishing what they did this season, I can't root for the Giants.

So who do I root for? Is [I]injuries [/I]an option?

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

Patriots simply for the perfect record.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I voted Pats. I hate them, and I hate to see them win, but I'd prefer it to the Giants. I couldn't stand the Giants to have more bragging rights. That said, I hate both teams, and probably wont watch. Why bother with all the media BS if you dont care ya know?

haha awesome, another reason for me to root for the Giants.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I hate the Giants the least of our division rivals and I hate the Pats only 3rd to the Eagles and Cowboys so I'll be cheering for the Giants and holding my nose. Maybe they tie and no one will win.

Evidently you really don't think or you would'nt say something as dumb as this.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

I'm rooting for the Giants. If the Pats win, the only thing that will make me happy about it is that maybe it will shut Mercury Morris up. I can't stand how arrogant he is when he speaks.

Re: Super Bowl: who will you be rooting for?
 

We simply cannot root for the Giants!!!!
