I'm rooting for the Falcons.

Atlanta win the Superbowl in New Orleans? WTF.

I've hated the 49ers since birth. I honestly don't hate the Falcons nearly as much. Still, the definition of class would be to pull for your bitter rival in the Superbowl. Who said I had class anyway?

For the first time in my life I will have to pull for the AFC all the way.

And I will never root for the 49ers unless it is against the two teams I hate the most - the Steelers or the Patriots.

So I will gladly cheer on our arch-rivals this Sunday as they face the idiot 49ers. And I despise Jim Harbaugh.

So if it's the Falcons versus the Patriots, I say Falcons all the way. If it's the Falcons versus the Ravens, I'll be thrilled if the Ravens win. If it's the 49ers versus the Patriots, then meh.

Pats, Ravens, Niners to win the SB ... in that order. And I'm not really 'rooting' for any of them, it's just what I'd like to see under the circumstances.

I agree with Danno.

I think , hope it will be SF49 vs. BR. Atl Fal, oh no. No.
NE Pats, same ole , same ole.

Har vs. Har. NFL would like that story. Manning vs. Manning would have great for here but that was not even close this year.
I wished for Denver Broncos. That did not work. Texans. No teams I had wished for to win

won.

Either way, I am most likley not watching SB.
UGH! This is so hard.

I want to see the Superdome and attractions about N.O. and have , hope N.O. is put in a good light, all goes well, police , Nat. Guard are out full force, good time for the tourists, no tourists price hikes, etc.

I cannot stand the halftime this year. Beyonce is overkill.
I wish it were N.O. music showcased: Marsalis, Connnick, Nick Payton, Dr. J, Nevilles, etc.
N.O. SB once or twice perhaps had that so I guess you cannot do it again.

Gotta either be the Ravens or Pats. Couldn't, and can't pick either Failclowns or whiners. wouldn't mind seeing Bolden get a ring, he's not shabby and has has paid his dues.

SaintsBro · 01-16-2013, 09:40 AM

The thing about San Francisco. I don't like them, but I at least respect them. They have their thing they do, with studying an offense on film and then targeting and injuring the right 1 or 2 people on the other team to break them; and they have good special teams, and they run a sloppy, spastic-looking offense that's just barely good enough not to lose as long as their defense does its job and injures those 1 or 2 people, and I get that -- it's their MO. Because they're in a soft division and that's all they NEED to do to win.

Atlanta, I don't like, and I don't respect. Because they have not done anything to earn respect. If you look at their history, the only years they have ever done anything good, are years when there is some problem or something wrong with the Saints. Go back and look. The Falcons really big years are always stuff like the year that Duece was hurt, Katrina year, the Bountygate year etc. going way back to '90s.

Patriots is the lesser of the evils, don't really like them either way but the other three teams I have many reasons against supporting them.

neugey · 01-16-2013, 10:49 AM

Sorry guys I'm not changing my vote for the Falcons. I miss my brother a lot. You can ban me for a day or two if you like, it's the off-season anyway

.

I can't stand the 49ers, I hope the Falcons beat them like a Gene Hoglan snare drum.

Nah, you're a fixture on here & you got good reason.

... I did have to look up Gene Hoglan though,

Is this the "egg" story that everyone is refering to? That was a couple of airport workers and they were fired afterwards. Falcons fans welcome Saints to Atlanta by egging their bus - SBNation.com

I'm talking about treatment at the actual venue. Anyway, yeah, ban me! Yeah do it! I have another screen name I write under. So ban away!!!

I never realized that there were so many closed minded idiots here.
