Who else cried?

[CTPatsFan]

Alone, in my private time-I wept.

Nope, but I did do a fair amount of out-loud M'Fing to myself.

 

[CTPatsFan]

the only four words that make me cry are:

"BUSDRIVER MOVE THAT BUS"

All right, I'll admit to welling up a little at that. Stupid wife makes me watch that stupid show...

I also have a 10 year old son that bawled, I was pissed, sick to my stomach, but did not cry.

In the words of Don Vito Corleone:

"You can act like a MAN!"

Ditto, my 10yoS was inconsolable. Who knows, maybe if I didn't feel like I had to set an example for him it might have been different.

I was giving him all kinds of wisdom, "It was a battle", "It's only a game, there are a lot more important things", "It was a heckuva a season, they just fell a little short", "Remember, Giancarlo is a Giants fan" (one of his buddies going through chemo & marrow transplant).

If only I had heeded my own advice.

come on...man up for goodness sake. I am getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan (1 year) for the third time. You know who is weeping...my kids.

Was it a disappointing loss, of course. but lick your wounds and quit being such a ****

 

[thechris]

No, didn't cry. And I completely understand if someone did. This was a painful loss and will haunt us Pats fans for a long time.

This is how I felt. I have never cried over a football game -- any game, but there is nothing wrong if someone does.

For me, it was just flat out down and out for two straight days. It still bothers me, but I then think how BB and TB and the rest of the guys felt. If one of them cried I would certainly understand it.

Nothing wrong with crying.

 

[pciamp24]

No crying. I was just angry & stunned..

Still havent watched the highlights.. I still cant stand to see anything about the game..

 

[reflexblue]

good thing you're not a Charger fan. You would have killed yourself a long........long time ago.

:eat3: :agree:

 

[reflexblue]

Theres no crying in football!

Everyone deals with their emotions differently, it doesn't make anyone less of a man if they cry.

One thing I've learned is that you shouldn't feel bad if you cry, and you shouldn't feel bad if there's a situation where you don't cry.

A few years back I had a friend that passed away much, much too young (22). At the wake, almost every single one of my friends was in tears, but I wasn't. At first I almost felt bad that I wasn't crying, I was as close to the person who had passed as anyone.

Needless to say, the one thing I take away from that is that everyone deals with their emotions differently, so you shouldn't judge someone based on their tears.

you sound like a great dad. the only time i ever cried over a sports event was when i was a kid in philly in 1964 and the Phillies blew a 12 1/2 game lead with six games to play. anyway, i remember my dad trying to make me feel better and only now do I know that he was probably hurting more than me since he had been cheering for that useless team a lot longer than i had.

 

[frankiesfly]

In all honesty. I probably would of cried if I didn't prepare myself so well. I seriously had a feeling we were going to lose way before the Superbowl. Since we didn't lose any games before the Superbowl I knew it was going to be that game.

WTF does that have to do with crying? I don't care if you're a homosexual,
a heterosexual, a lesbian, a gnome, whatever. Don't play the disenfranchised
player card to gain sympathy because you are not going to get it. Grow a pair!

It's not that I'm gay that isn't the issue it is that I am going through a very difficult time in my life trying to adjust to my very religious family ostracizing me so I am just more prone to crying. I was saying that in defense to everyone calling me less of a man because I cried while my boyfriend Hector held me and stroked my hair.

Oh good god.

 

[Scouse Patriot]

I have to laugh when guys come out and laugh at others or tell them to man up, then give them some bullsh!t about themselves. I've seen grown men cry, real hard men and not some nobody who thinks he's tough. People cry and who the f*ck are you to tell somebody thats not ok?

To answer the question, no, but I felt it in my gut.

You need to get in touch with that inner goat you talked about a few months ago.

My animal essence is the Goat, which I am very proud of because unlike the unfair portrayal of goats as tin can eaters they are a very majestic creatures who can be seen dominating the highest crags of various mountain ranges.

If there's plenty of grass, there ain't goats crying anywhere.

The more you post, the worse this gets.

 

[fnordcircle]

I don't know why everyone is attacking me.

I just really love the Patriots and seeing them fail on the cusp of greatness sort of broke through the wall I had up and just a lot of emotions are flooding through. I think that it is healthy to cry especially when you love your team.

What's more manly, to feel like crying but wear a proud face or to let the tears flow?

Well, honestly a football game is not worth crying over. Upset, down, well over the top down OK. Honestly, really down.

The only times I ever cried in my life. Just twice. First time when I lost my grandfather who I adored. I hope he is in heaven so I can see him again. Darn, I loved that guy. When he was in the hospital, I went from work to the hospital and spent every moment I could with him. When I lost him, darn right I cried. A lot.

Second time, when I lost my dog of 14 years. He became my best friend. (Not that I don't have a life, I do) But my dog, I would just go off with him and spend hours and hours in the woods, the beach, wherever. He suffered a terrible death from cancer, and it took me so long to get over it. I cried, a lot.

So when you take this all into perspective, crying over a football game sounds rather foolish.

When you have people or pets that you love and lose, it is so over the top hard. Something to cry about.

I have to admit I did cry another time, it might have been a weak moment. It was the ending of Dances with Wolves ( a movie if you have not seen it). I felt such a sadness for what we have lost. Nature, the love of nature and being alone and quiet. I think that is why the world is quite nuts -- we need time to be at peace. Silence, beautiful and peaceful -- and with a great dog if you are lucky.

So, forget about being gay or crying, snap out of it. There is a whole lot worth more to cry about. Organized religion, your family hates you, well OK, that is their problem, not yours. Move on.
