But I try to do all “routing� for the black and gold – even on bye week.
"It somehow feels wrong to pull for your rivals’ opponent. "

I look at our rivals as the enemy, I look at it this way, every time someone in our division loses the Saints gain , I NEVER pull for the Falcons, Panthers or the Bucs, NEVER..
Exactly! I also root for what ever scenario helps the Saints. So I ALWAYS root for the AFC to beat the NFC when it's not the Saints :lol: I hope the rest of the NFC South loses every game. And when them play each other, I hope for 0-0 ties :wink: . No, but seriously, so long as we're taking care of business, like we are this year (for a change), I'm not too concerned with the rest of the league, but the division is too tight right now. This would be a good weekend to get some breathing room.

I also root for AFC teams to beat NFC teams, you never know how much help you'll need at the end of the regular season.

rooting for the division rivals to lose, shouldnt be a surprise.......hell division-wise, they dont factor against us anymore, but the 49ers beat up on us for so long i still hope they get creamed on a weekly basis.

If Pitt. and Cinn. both win, we will be sitting pretty

This would be a good day to have that special DirecTV thing where you can watch 8 games at once. You could just turn to whatever game something is going on. Guess I'll just watch the panthers and bungles.

I know man its the only excitement i can get without any Saints to watch. This sucks

what can I say - I try to be a nice guy and it feels wrong to rout for a team I don't care about to beat a team just because they are our rival.

which really means I am routing for someone to loose.

so if i were honset i would slam my Abita down on the table as I watch da burgh and the ATL play on TV and I would shout “Lose Lose.�
"die die"
feels awfully negative.

you are right - I am
Positive Optimistic Hate to cheer for the negative – kinda reverse cheering.
I don’t like to boo
Perhaps that does make me - what was it - un-American.

I would say I will pull specifically for Willie Parker, Rudi Johnson, and the Steeler's Def.

thank god for Fantasy Football!

Not a big Fantasy football fan. Too much individual. I believe in teams, and team work.
We are pack animals. When we act as a unit there is no end to what we can accomplish.
No insult to you. Have fun. But if human beings were solitary creatures we would have never left the trees and never invented football.
