Re: Second Favorite Team
Oh my! What a hard-hearted meanie I am.
I mean, I do have some players outside New England that I like (though they diminished by two when we signed Moss and Welker) and one or two coaches. I had some sympathy for Arthur Blank when he went through the business with Michael Vick -- he came across to me as a decent guy. But a second-favourite team? Just doesn't work for me.
A few years ago I might have said 'Carolina', because I respected the way that they played the Patriots in the Superbowl. I thought Fox was a good coach and Delhomme a good quarterback (  -- see sig!) The best I can do now is a sneaking sympathy for the Redskins. I'm not quite sure why. Dislike of the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants is certainly part of it. Perhaps too (I could be wrong about this) because they seem on a casual look at the TV to have more black fans in the stadium than other teams. There's something disturbing if a team is in a diverse community and the only fans you see in the stands are white. Interesting if true, given the history.
