1. Not just you ...

This is one of those games where I don't really care who wins or loses. I just want to see them beat each other up so badly that they are damaged for the rest of the reason and lose all their remaining games.

Won't happen, but I can dream.

3. Hate the Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Lakers
Because each is the most over hyped and overrated team in their respective leagues.

Indifferent to Green Bay.

27. You are my new hero!
I have hated these three teams for as long as I can remember!!

The funny thing is, I grew up in upstate NY and I now live in Los Angeles.

There was a time when you could have added the Chicago Bulls to that list...

36. Well, there was a time when the Bulls legitimately were a great team.
Jordan could have done it on his own, but he didn't. There was a solid team there. Pippen, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Cartwright. I think that was the usual starting lineup in those days.

And yeah, even the Lakers were a solid team back in the Magic & Kareem days. It's the Shaq & Kobe show that was the overrated part.

But with the Yankees and the Cowpies it was always the media implication that "these are AMERICA's teams and if you don't like them, you're a god damned commie !!11!!!!11!!"

38. I think what got me is that, all of a sudden, everyone was a Bulls' fan.
They were a great team, though...I just get sick of all of the bandwagon jumpers.

8. Nope, not the only one.
My dislike of the Cowboys is only marginally eclipsed by my hatred of Green Bay.

10. For some reason, I always pull for the team with the willingness to employ criminals.
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 01:03 AM by Fenris
Dallas fails to dissappoint. Hello, Pacman Jones!

11. No. I loathe them both.
However, I would have wished for a huge game (and season) from Rodgers just to make Favre look like the whiny replaceable diva he is, and I would have wished for Dallas to lose because my contempt for Pacman Jones is endless.

12. Why do you hate Green Bay?
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 09:02 AM by nomad1776
they should be liked by any liberal. After all they are the only team owned by their fans, instead of a wealthy fat cats.

13. I do like their ownership structure
but I can't get over the Favre crap, and my hate goes back to being a KC fan from 1966 or so

Although I can't see how GB was at fault in the Favre situation.

23. Why? You guys are the only team we're upside down on in Super Bowls.
You've beaten us twice, we've only beaten you once. Seems like you should like the Cowboys! :rofl:

22. NFC? Phhbbbttt.
AFC is where it's at.

Well, actually AFC North.

Well, actually one particular team in the AFC North.

Not Pittsburgh.

Not Cleveland.

Not Cincinatti.

31. What do you hate about Green Bay?
Their community-friendly ownership model that scares the NFL (and all pro sports leagues, for that matter) silly?

33. Isn't Green Bay a much older franchise than KC?
There are times I (a Lions fan, don't laugh) root against Green Bay, but I could never say I hated them. Do Green Bay and KC have a rivalry to speak of?

37. LOL, gotcha
since the Lions have never been in a Super Bowl, all I have to hang my hat on is the age of the franchise and the length of the rivalry!

Any championships the Lions won were before I was born.
