Rooting For The AFC

[PatsSteve1]

1st off, I'm hoping for a good game. I don't want to be bored at the half of a 21-0 game. I usually root for the AFC except when I dont like that year's version of the AFC team. And I don't like this yera's versiopn of the Steelers. They are just too ****y about it for me. And Hasselebck is a Mass guy. Plus he's bald -)

I have rooted for the AFC since its founding. I always root for an AFC team when they play an NFC team, unless the result will adversely affect the patriots. annual trip to Mile High.

my guess, mgteich, is there have been VERY few games when an AFC win vs NFC would help the pats, if any (care to name ONE?)...
i would guess; i NEVER root for an AFC team over an NFC team... the pats are ALWAYS better off having an NFC team win a mixed game, than having an AFC team winning. maybe im wrong; love to hear your explaination.

Also, Matt is a former ballboy for your New England Patriots. I spent a summer with him during the Macpherson administration. Nice guy.

Here's one that I use for rationalization, or whatever: if the AFC team in the super bowl wins it, they may become complacent and fat. The Patriots, OTOH, I don't expect to ever get that way with coach B in there, so they come back more hungry as always. Again, it's a rationalization, justification, or mind game, for what it's worth.
