Denver and Pittsburgh. Superbowl 48 did help get Denver down to irrational hate though at least. My hope is we get our shot at payback against Pittsburgh for the Bettis farewell tour in Santa Clara this February. The cold revenge couldn't be more sweet.
Yup, I hate the Stealers for the same reason. XL. Thing is, I respected them as a hard nosed, blue collar team that wasn't overly flashy and had a great defense (I'm a fan of great defense) before XL, but now I'll never like them. I can't stand them so much that I can't even agree with Mizzou on this, as I hope they never even make the playoffs for another decade. Screw letting them get to the SB again. Ever.
I also hate Dallas with a passion. I can't stand Jerry Jones. I also can't stand their punk ass fans. I think, without a doubt, the worst fan base in the NFL (tied with SF fans at certain times) due to ignorance and being clueless homers.
I won't say 49ers. Seriously, before they were good the last few years, did they really bother anyone ? Not me. I went to a game there in 2007, when Rocky Bernard dislocated Alex Smith's shoulder and Dilfer relieved him. The fans were used to losing and had a fatalistic and funny attitude. I had great conversations with fans next to me and had literally no confrontations with anyone. One dude screamed "Seahawks suck" as we walked by, but that was it, and I expect that in enemy territory. 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter, the stadium was half empty and the rest of it was Hawks fans.
It's funny, and amazing how quickly the bandwagon fans are jumping off. Long term Niners fans are ok in my book and mostly decent folks. It's the idiots the last few years, acting like they've been good forever and having to research their freaking titles to find out about real winning.
I dislike the Patriots. I honestly got to the point in the last couple of years where I respected their longevity and run of success, and I stopped disliking them. But I'm honestly tired of hearing some new scandal about cheating or bending/breaking rules. You can't have that many instances without there being truth to it. I also dislike Brady because he lied his ass off and is now acting like he's the injured party here. Be a man and take the 4 games. You know you did it. And no, this has nothing to do with them beating us. I think they beat us fair and square (although Avril having to go out with a concussion but Edelman not going through protocalls is once again annoying and unfair).
I don't hate the Raiders anymore. Just nothing there. I also don't hate the Broncos after Elway retired, but that was a hate born of getting our asses handed to us a lot. I respect Elway the player. Their fan base sucks though...I didn't realize how bad until SB 48.
