I want Indy to slaughter the NFC pretender.
I would have wanted the same if San Diego or Balimore (or KC or the jets) were in the Super Bowl. I want the second best QB of our era, perhaps in the history of the league to succeed. I would like Indy to be the #1 team this year, and for us to understand that we were very, very close to that standard, a first down or two away. Did we have the #1 defense, the #2 or the #3? I will know that we were in a group if Indy wins. If not, then Chicago clearly had the best defense.
When I win, I want to beat the best. Sure, a win is a win, but when given a choice, I would rather beat the best. I will always have respect for the teams I play, sometimes calling them even better than they are, as bb does. After all we had the best team in history a couple of years ago (or #2 or #3) precisely because we beat so many good teams.
I want all the top AFC's teams to beat up on the sisters of the poor, especially the NFC. To he$$ with parity! We are part of an elite set of teams, now, as in the past. We are the AFC elite.
As in any competition, when a team beats me, I want them to go all the way. I want to have been beaten by the best. Having reached this point of today, I believe that the best four teams in football this year were the final four AFC's team, all playing to see who was best in the AFC playoffs. I expect that any of us SHOULD have been able to destroy Chicago. To put it another way, if Chicago loses, it is as I have said. If Chicago wins, then maybe the AFC wasn't really that good, and maybe the patriots weren't either.
I certainly understand the Boston fan attitude. They have carefully honed this attitude since 1918 and before. But it is not mine. I am a New England Patriot fan, not a Boston fan. I want to see the AFC East be the best division. I want the AFC to be the best. And most of all, I want to the patriots win.
So, I will root for the best this day. I will root for the AFC. I will happily root for Manning and Indy. And then tommorow, I am again try to focus on what it will take to be the best in the 2007-2008 season, what it will take to better than Indy, and SD and Baltimore, and better than the rest.
Most of the rest of you will view Indy with hate, feel robbed by the refs, and know in your hearts that you deseve to win the SB every year. No one else is ever deserving. Hats off to the die-hard Red Sox fans! Different strokes for different folks.
just my 2 cents
