Hurts to Say This....

I believe once your team is eliminated the classy thing to do is to pull for your rival.

jeanpierre · 12-02-2012, 07:49 PM

I want to see us finish strong and start playing more of Martez Wilson, Traveris Cadet, Joe Morgan, Akiem Hicks, Corey White...

I'd even love it if the Saints would start Hicks in place of Ellis and really try White at Safety...

If your team loses and is out, and you are truly a diehard fan of that team that there is no one really left to be a fan of is there?

Won't be the first time I have been accused of not having any class. No way do I pull for the Falcons, ever.

Anybody in the SB except the falcons & 49ers. As long as neither make it, then I'll be happy.

I'm Saints first. When that's not available I tend to gravitate to the underdog most of the time assuming I don't have a rooting interest against a particular team, like Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.

In other words, sans Saints I give in to my hate.

Then I go for the long shot.

You can always be a fan of the sport ... some teams haven't got past the first round of the playoffs since the '50s, so if you want to watch any of the postseason, you gotta' kinda' latch onto another team,

I'm with Vermillion.

I'll probably go fishing.

Not on that on .... the 49ers as well. Man take away the INT's and we beat both of them!

If it's Falcons versus Patriots or Falcons versus Steelers, then yes Falcons all the way! Other, than that I can't imagine another scenario in which I would root for the Falcons. Perhaps the Broncos, but probably not.
