With the Patriots off-season underway already, the playoffs are always tougher with no clear rooting interests. Yes, cheering for the underdogs is always a good choice but I’m wondering who the rest of SOSH is rooting for (or rooting against). This isn’t a thread for who you think will win but rather who you want to win (and lose).
For me, I’ll root for Buffalo and against the Ratbirds and Chiefs. The Bills are basically the Red Sox pre-2014 and Hamlin adds to the story this year. The only downside here is having to listen to the weekly Nantz-gasm. The Ratbird hate is pretty self explanatory and I’m still not over the Chiefs and the losers that team has employed (Frank Clark, Kareem Hunt, Tyreek, Andy’s kid). I know they are mostly gone but my hatred remains. They also lucked into home field.
In the NFC, I’ll root for the Vikings and the 49ers. The Vikes are the Bills of the NFC and the Purdy story would also be great to see. For against, I’ll say the Eagles. Living in the Philly area, there is no more insufferable fan base so I just don’t want to hear it for 12 months. I’d add the Cowboys but they will take of losing on their own without my negative mojo.
I ask the rest of SOSH, who do you like and why?
