My best friend in the world is a HUGE Steelers fan. Given that we live in the NY area, he was invited by MANY Jets fans to go with them to the game on Sunday. (There will be a TON of Jets fans at that game...Jet Blue added flights). He could not bear the thought of being with Jets fans on the way to and from the game and did not want to sit with them at Heinz, as he hates the Jets and NY sports fans in general as much as any sane human being would.
So he offered to buy me a ticket if I would join him at the game.
DONE.
We're going.
Any thoughts on how to handle this? I don't have second favorite teams and if I did, the Steelers would not be it. I sort of like the Saints but even there, it's only because the team and city have been so pathetic for so long that I felt sort of badly for them. And if the Saints were playing the Pats, I'd have many dark thoughts about the Saints, NO and all of the Saints players.
That said, I will be able to root for the Steelers with all my heart given my Jets hate.
Still, this is rare ground for me so I'll take whatever thoughts people want to offer.
