MrRant Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Not by name of course. ...SNIP.... And that's the difference between Yankee fans and everyone else. They delight in tweaking their rivals, seeing other fans miserable, pushing everyone's buttons. They honestly believe that supporting a champion makes them better than everyone else. They are never happy, no matter how well the Yankees are doing. And they talk so much smack, you root against them almost as much as you root for your own team. Not only are they the resident bully, they like it that way, as their insufferable chest-thumping after the A-Rod trade proved once again. One of my readers once compared rooting for the Yankees to rooting for the house in blackjack. We obviously have not reached that point with the Pats. If they capture 15 Super Bowls over the next 40 years, maybe things will change for me. Maybe winning isn't enough. Maybe you even get bored. Maybe you have to mess with everyone else just to stay interested. In a weird way, I hope I never find out what it feels like. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/040219
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 This has to be the most clever flame in the history of the sports folder.
Mik Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 It's not weak. It's the truth. I actually THOUGHT of anglesault when I read that. He fits the description to a tee. Never happy, etc. I think Mr. Rant just snipped the wrong part of the article. If you read the whole thing then you will get a better picture of what he means...and he's right. He's talking about you, Anglesault.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Wow, Simmons actually nailed it right on the head.
Guest Ghettoman Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 No it's weak because it's a generalization. I'm always behind underdogs, just not against my team. I don't delight in the misery of others. I mean yeah he may of nailed AS, but to say 'yankee fans' is just irritating.
Guest Anglesault Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 You're a heartless bastard. I display alot of heart.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 You're a heartless bastard. I display alot of heart.
Guest Anglesault Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Not true. I show a lot of heart when supporting Yankees causes.
Guest Anglesault Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 And another thing. I am happy when they win the World Series.
