I already told you I don't hate you or any Bills fan for that matter; pity is the word I'd choose.
That's a form of patronism, isn't it? I happen to love being a Bills fan, and I have fun during every game. The only time I'm truly upset is when we lost when I felt we should have won.
And you don't know me from Adam; my self worth is not tied into my team beating your team.
Good for the two of us...and I'm not the butt-munch on whatever youtube video you sarcasticly accused me of being, either.
The Patriots lost the Super Bowl vs the Giants and the perfect season got flushed down the toilet, but guess what; the sun came up the next day. Every day above ground is a good day, I've had enough personal tragedy in my life the past year and a half to put sports in it's proper perspective, so relax.
You first.
I could care less what team you root for; the post you made where you drooled over the Tyree catch, talked about the Panther kick that sailed out of bounds, mentioned the tuck rule and topped it off with a spygate reference was annoying. You are on a Patriots fan forum in case you forgot.
Fair enough.
If it was annoying, just remember that it wasn't disrespectful. I do continue to drool over the Tyree catch. No offense, but I like it as much as you don't...but even YOU should appreciate it for what it is as a football fan. I'm not rubbing your nose in it; it's in the title of the thread, so I talked about it. Never said "ha, ha" or anything. The article called it the play of the decade. It was a damn good play...won't see anything like that in a long time in that situation. I only brought up the kick out of bounds because somebody said something about the Tyree catch being luck, so I was playing devil's advocate. The tuck rule was part of the article the thread was about. Was it or was it not a memorable call? Again, I didn't put a value judgment on it. I asked if anyone had a problem with it being called the most memorable call. Then I said I sure do remember it, as does just about any football fan I know.
I'm not causing trouble at all...at least not trying to. Gimme a break. The Patriots have won three Super Bowls this decade. What more do you want?
It would be like me coming to your forum and talking about the Norwood miss, losing four strait super bowls, your team roaring out of the gate in 2003 and then faltering down the stretch and missing the playoffs and the possibility of the Bills moving to Toronto.
No it wouldn't.
First of all, you are free to come to my Bills board and talk about the subject of any thread. Please do. We like to hear opinions of others. I mainly go to buffalorange.com. My username their is Westphal, which is my real last name, by the way.
Please come and give your honest opinion. Just remember to show some respect, as I've done here.
BTW, someone already DID bring up wide-right and losing four Super Bowls in a Row in a rub-your-nose-in-it type fashion, but that's to be expected because I'm on your board. Would you care to bring up the Music City Miracle? Go ahead...I'm game.
Then you compound things by giving a blow by blow description of the Tyree catch, like none of us are familar with the play, which would be like me telling you blow by blow about Norwood missing the field goal vs the Giants.
That catch is what the thread is about. If you aren't over it now, maybe you need some therapy or shouldn't look into such threads. I was comparing the Manning-to-Tyree catch to Vinitieri's kick as the play of the decade. That's all it was. Sorry you couldn't stomach the graphicness of it all
And you fit the classic "Hey, I just want to talk football" pattern I've seen from opposing fans time and time and time again (Dino and Gunnails among others not withstanding), only to turn into a Patriot basher in the end.
Patjew and Deus Irae used to hate me too.
I'm working on that. Might take some time. Meantime, you might give me a chance, right? Take my word that I'm not here to bash the Patriots. I already said what a good team they are. I'd rate them top two in the league right now. Sorry if everything doesn't always go their way.
