Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I just finished reading an article, like all the rest, asking for Synder to unload VC. There is also the standard discussion of boycotting our current organization. So, if we stop buying the goods and drinking the kool-aid; however you still follow the news, keep all your old gear. Do you root for a new team? Do you start buying their logo'ed stuff?

For me, I won't spend money for another team's product. There are a couple other treams I like to follow, Ravens because they are local, I have always liked the Steelers, even as a kid. I don't know, I just can't see myself going "full out" for another team. It I were to pull for another team, it certainly would be an AFC team, until our got their act together.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Hell no...Die hard till I die. I couldn't even pull for another team if I wanted to, the Skins are in my blood. Its the reason I watch every minute of every game even when it gets as bad as this year. It has its rewards....it was most likely only the die hards that got to see Brunell launch two bombs to Moss in the last 3 minutes to beat the Cowboys in 06...the half ass fans had probably gone to bed.

Its hard to stick with the Skins right now, but the true fans will.

My sig says it all.

totally agree. the Skins are my one and only i root for. When your team is bad thats when you find who is a true fan.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I cant do it. I put my stuff in my attic when Turner was the coach. Did not really root for another team. I still followed them just did not wear there clothes. I am always asked now why am I wearing a Redskins hat or whatever and i tell them I am a die hard not giving up now. I don't think I will put up my stuff again.

HTTR!!!

What he said!!! I also finished that monday night game and popped the top on a cold one whe ST finished off Crayton. Remmember its not maroon and yellow, its Burgundy and Gold!!!!! go skins

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I wish I could root for another team, particularly the Ravens. I have shaken Steve Bisciotti's hand (great guy by the way), am surrounded by fans, and his team has always performed well but I can't root for them. I don't empathize if they lose or celebrate if they win.

I only spectate other teams; it's only emotional for me and the Skins. That being said I do enjoy watching the Colts, the Steelers, the Patriots, the Broncos, the Ravens, the Packers, the Vikings, and the Saints. In short, I enjoy watching good football with teams outside the NFC East.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I don't even get how Ravens fans can be Ravens fans. If you were a die hard Colts fan growing up, then root for Indianapolis. The Steelers were always my AFC team, but I don't care about them like I do the Skins. Will always obsess over the Skins... regardless of the coach, owner, players, etc.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Yea my SCAB team is the University Of Florida lol, other than that hell no.. GO SKINS forever!!!! (Even though we will finish 4-12 lol)

4 wins is being generous;)

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Redskins Forever Baby!

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I wont spend money on another team... thats for sure..but my second team would probaboly be Buffalo because they're local to me... I follow the Giants (dont relaly root for them) alot too...kind of depends on the year, if we're out i'll pick different teams to root for.... Right now I am pulling for Indianapolis an awful lot as well.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I actually cheer for the niners since they're my local team. It's the only self therapeutic method I know to deal with my constant Redskin heartache. In the end, I'm Redskin fan first, NFL fan second. It's really hard to get into the NFL when the Redskins are losing. Hell, I can't even watch Sportscener when we're having a shitty season.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

oh yeah i forgot i do have a scab team..... Any other team that plays Dallas!!!

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Yea don't believe anyone anyone says here. everyone has an order of teams of how they like em. my number 2 team would have to be a tie between greenbay and denver (but i still wish cutler was there)

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

no way

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

My scabb team is VT. They aren't doing so hot now. GO whoevr is from the DMV and can win games!

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

How can I be a Redskins fan while switching to and buying someone else's gear?

That's the football equivalent of having a rough patch in a relationship and solving it by screwing another girl. If you do it, don't come back.

I have a couple of college teams just because I was never a big college guy (none of my family followed it) and because of how I picked up those teams, but that's it.

I'm the same way.. unless you're new to football or that young, I don't get it.

You'd think Ravens fans would've been Browns fans and waiting for that to come back, Steelers fans, or Skins fans. I mean if you were a Colts fan and gave up on football after that.. that's one thing.. but I would've followed Indianapolis too

same thing with expansion teams.. I mean you know it's going to happen.. but wtf

Thanks for correcting me, my mentality must've been way off

I haven't had a "second team" since pre-pubescence

So basically you enjoy whoever is doing well.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Wizards.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

The Harlem Globtrotters. For some reason, they just always win.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

skins till i die, but im pulling for matt shaub to have a good year this season!

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

wizards and caps

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I don't think I can do the Skins much longer. With that said, they'll probably draft Tebow and suck me back in.

I like watching him play but I don't think it would be wise for the organization to draft him with the O-line problems. He does have a more of a fire-in-the-guts type of attitude than Soup.

I don't know? I'm leaning towards the Ravens. There are a lot of former Skins fans over there. There is no way that I'm going to drive to Pittsburgh to watch a Steelers game, so the Ravens it is.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Go Hawkeyes!

I remember the day after the Mayflower's showed up and helped the Colts sneak away. I couldn't fathom anybody who was a Colts fan then following them after that. If Danny moved the team to South Dakota would any current fan keeping pulling for them?
There is one team I love (no matter how much they break my heart) There are a few other teams I like (Green Bay, Browns, Jets, New Orleans) and those are mostly teams that I like the fans of. And two teams I hate (Panthers and Cowboys).

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I'd head to the closest 7-11 counter, half-way house and a bar. It's where Casserly drafted his scab team to beat the Cowboys and end up 3-0.

No it means he likes watching good Football. So if were not watching the skins, most of us like watching the better players competing.

You can't have a backup team, your 100 percent Skins or not. You can still enjoy watching football.

Well i just looked and there isn't going to be any good football tonight because of the stupid world series.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

Yeah. My Scab teams are the actual, good teams DC has.. Caps and Wizards. Well at least I'm hoping the Wizards will be good. They aren't looking terrible so far.

Skins and Nats are the sad side of DC.

I was an Orioles fan first, so they are nearest and dearest to my heart. But they have serious FO problems. Screw you, Angelos.

Those Orioles are starting to get better though, I can't say the same for the redskins.

Re: Do you have a "Scab Team"?
 

I root for the Skins, UVA sports, Wiz and Arsenal.

Like someone else said, it is really hard to be emotionally vested in other teams. It just doesnt really work.
