No doubt rhere is a link between the GOP and the NFL fanbase. However they are mainly fans of the institution and "their team".

Re: NFL Mega Thread
It's fascinating (sub-category: morbidly fascinating) that NFL fans are more enraged by fairly modest protests and goofy rules that seem to demand quantum microscopes than the fact that these young men are shortening their lifespans with every play. Maybe there's some kind of connection to politics and capitalism and all that, but I'm not George Will.

Re: NFL Mega Thread
To the degree that I care about the Super Bowl, I want it to be Vikings and Bills. Two fanbases that the networks don't care about at all and one of those teams will end up being 0-5.

Re: NFL Mega Thread
In the past I've taken a perverse delight in their success, because Bill B. is like a supervillain. But the Trump connections makes it preferable for them to take a painful loss.revbob wrote: ↑14 Jan 2018, 9:58pmRooting for my favorite again Anyone but the Pats.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Jan 2018, 9:33pmI'm all in with Minnesooter.

Re: NFL Mega Thread
You all are just afraid of greatness
Obvs Pats first, but if Jax wins next week I can't feel too bad (hungry young team, first time contenders) and same with Minnesota if they make it through the finish line (great franchise, great fanbase). I know Pats are the ultimate villains, but as a fan of that team, from my perspective really only the Stillers were my must-not-wins in this round and they're out, so whatevs.
Obviously, I want Tom to get another ring and further validate all his insane nutritional beliefs.
