The only reason I like Detroit is because I have lived in Michigan since 1984. #24 will always be blue and green to me....ALWAYS. I still think Carr is a punk though.

Edsel, Pacer, Chevette or Gremlin would suffice too.
Very spoiled..I agree. Then we moved to Michigan in 1984 when I was 17. That SUCKED!! I can't perceive life before the Seahawks because I was kinda young? The only NFL memory I have before that is when the Cowboys/Steelers were playing on TV(SB?) and my father was watching it. I never cared about any of the teams UNTIL the Seahawks when I was 10. I think it was because I thought Zorn was cute. :laugh:chris98251":3oikttqo said:It's quite obvious that some can't perceive life before the Seahawks, feel good that you were spoiled being able to have a team in your location when you decided to become a Football fan.

Why would anyone but an Oakland resident do that?
I'm not sure whether to ask if you are implying that only Oakland residents love the Raiders (obviously wrong), or if you mean that only people who reside in a team's hometown love that team (obviously wrong).
So I'll just not ask you anything.
As a Rams fan, I'd always "root" for the Raiders over the Pats. I hate the Pats. I hate the Chargers. Raiders can hopefully get some traction against both of them in the coming years. Go Raiders.
Well certainly anyone has the right to root for anyone they want, so there's that. But frankly, and this is another discussion really, the only true fan is the fan who lives where the team resides. They are the only ones directly impacted by that franchise "living", contributing, and impacting them in all the ways a professional team within a community does. You are a prime example. To say you hate, your word, the Patriots, is a purely irrational, emotional, response, based on nothing but the firing of a few electrical impulses in your brain. Those electric charges are your only connection to the purposed event.

They were a major division rival. Now I think most Hawk fans just "don't hate" them anymore. I sure as hell will not root for them. Actually, I could care less about them. Meh..
If you could care less about them, why don't you then?
