    oh okay

    then yeah, that kind of shit is stupid, anyone who does that shit is ridiculous

    then again, I've never really met anyone who switches loyalties at an extremely fast rate

    I mean, they might start rooting for a team because they win a super bowl or something, but they tend to stick with that for at least a couple years, at least until the shit they bought gets old and they need new shit

    I tend to just root for local teams

    unfortunately that makes my team in my favorite sport The Rams

    but hey, we still have The Cardinals!

    who, in spite of their award-winningly awful performance in the play-offs this year, are still a great team

    as a cubs fan it's more fun to see the cardinals do well because the rivalry between the cubs and the cardinals is way more fun than the one between the brewers and the cubs

    I mean obviously I wish the cubs hadn't imploded but still

    Back in 2003 when I was in the army we played a lot of Madden and NCAA football. It wasn't a rule but it was considered good form to pick the team you were a fan of. This usually resulted in people picking the teams that were where they were from but there were 2 or 3 people that just had to always pick the best team, which at the time was Tampa Bay. I was from Tampa and this annoyed the hell out of me. Though I could usually go with Miami or Jacksonville and crush them because they were terrible players :P

    true dat

    most sports rivalries are full of anger and hatred and vitriol and fans who could probably easily take the life of a fan of the other team without any remorse

    cards and cubs are just all "yeah, looks like you won this time, good game" "sure was. pound it."

    Hey look, the Rams may be the worst team in football right now.

    But at least you had The Greatest Show on Turf.

    one of my best friends growing up was a cardinals fan

    I think a lot of the reason cardinals and cubs fans get along is that generally it's been kind of a one-sided rivalry, so there's no point gettin' mad about it

    it's also totally okay to pick a team to root for in the postseason if your team doesn't make it, and especially okay to pick a team in the championship to root for

    just as long as you don't pretend to have been a huge fan of them for years or whatever

    it's so weird with the rams

    they weren't a very good team before those years

    and they haven't been a very good team since

    but for some reason, during those three seasons, all of this great talent came together in one place and just clicked

    The Rams were good in the late 70s and then in the late 80s as well.

    These things are always cyclical

    I can prove this stupid Secret thing wrong so easily.

    Most straight males picture themselves having sex with beautiful women once every fifteen minutes. Think of how many straight dudes you know that haven't had sex in years, much less with beautiful women.

    Hell, I am walking proof of this.

    Of course if I bring this up to a proponent of this Secret they will probably come back at me with something dumb.

    I was walking to my store with a microwave pot filled with my lunch in hand.
    I kept thinking "I hope I don't drop the lid, I hope it doesn't fall down." and then when I crossed the street the lid slipped off in the middle of the street.

    That made me think of this thread.

    Actually I prefer regular cheerios.

    I just cover them in sugar myself.
