Default I find myself softening on our old advesaries.

And absolutely hating the recent upstart teams.

The Denver Broncos. I hate this team.

I hated this team in the 90's. I hated horseface Elway. I hate that their idiotic fans bring up "spygate" when they were fined by the NFL both years they won* a Superbowl for fielding illegal football teams. I didn't even hate them in a `good way.` We called them `The Denver Flailing Asses.` I hated them in an "OMG your team is stupid and pointless" sort of way.

Stupid Broncos with their stupid uniforms. Orange with a big dumb D on their helmets. Go away.

And now they sign Peyton Manning, free agent, in an insulting and pathetic attempt to lift themselves from obscurity for two whole seasons before they go back to being irrelevant with no future like usual.

We cannot let this stupid, dumb, flailing ass orange Denver team win a Superbowl. Good thing we're not going to let them do anything of the sort.

All this media spin about Denver, about Peyton. The Bronco fans are really buying into it. I can't wait to burst their stupid little bubble and show them the only thing they managed to do with Manning was spend 20 million dollars more than they had to to get their asses handed back to them by the Patriots in the post season.

Trololol.

Anyway, I find myself seriously disliking these upstart teams around the league. I actually find myself missing the Steelers. I liked the Colts this season (I would say something about the Jets but they're not a real football team). I've even suddenly softened on the Ravens despite the officials completely screwing us out of a W against them earlier.

Denver, the 49'ers, I used to like the Seahawks until week 6.
The only new comer I don't hate is probably Texas because they play like girls so I basically just feel bad for their fans.

We're the last AFC powerhouse from the last decade still standing and standing tall at that.

I wanted the Steelers, the Colts and the Ravens to suck so bad for so long and now that they do I miss them. Glad we play the Steelers and the Colts next year. Hopefully they get a little better. It'll be nice playing real football organizations (classic organizations) again instead of these bottom feeding
buy-a-ring, flash in the pan, Eagle-esque, here one season and gone the next, soulless, free agency built super-scrub teams nobody cares about.

Fun Fact:

We've averaged more points against Denver over the course of our last three encounters than Denver has scored against any opponent in their last four seasons.

May want to hold off on ordering that new trophy case, dumb asses.

It happens. Hates change. Twenty years ago, Pats fans hated the Bills and Dolphins more than any other. Today, they're mostly afterthoughts, with the possible exception of lingering Dolphin hate.

I don't hate the Broncos. I think they're overhyped, and they remind me of upstarts like the 2008 Titans or somesuch for some reason. But I don't hate them.

Default Re: I find myself softening on our old advesaries.

As to uniforms, I think the Baltimore Ravens are number one. (the best)

Generally we hate teams that are either trad. rivals or very good in the sense of almost equal to or equal to the Pats. There are also teams who seem to be either a little dirty or take some kind of unfair edge... esp when they play you (this is more perception than anything)

The only team that I seem never to soften on is the Jets. Not sure why, but they cannot lose enough to suit me. Strange because I like the Giants and think nyc is without parallel.

Still hate Steelers, Jets no matter what. Ravens are another team I can't stand. I root against the Giants most of the time, but I can't say I truly hate them. For some reason I have no issues with any other teams, not even Denver.

I hate very few teams. But then, I grew up in LA, following the Lakers, and also lived in Manhattan for 15 years.

Wherever Manning goes the knob-slobbers in the media follow, and the fans eventually buy into it.

The Broncos won the AFC West? How did you do it Peyton?

I have to give Felger credit for this one. Peyton Manning has been to the playoffs 11 times and has gone one and done 7 times. Tom Brady has been to the playoffs 10 times and has gone to the Super Bowl 5 times.

Manning 7/11 .636
Brady 5/10 .500

Clearly they like Manning because of the numbers.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Not me. I still hate the Colts and only rooted for them in the last game of the season because Pagano seems like a genuinely good guy. I still hate the Steelers too and would love to see them continue to go 8-8 in order to miss the playoffs while still getting a bad draft pick. My hate for the Broncos was still there, but it rebuilt big time this year.

Now that the Jest are beaten down, the Donkeys fans are by far the biggest A holes I've encountered this season.
