If you don't want one call to decide the game, play a better game.
A NinaTroll rooting for Seattle in the Super Bowl??? < in my best Doctor Evil voice > "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhtttttt!"Popeyejones":2sqqmbwd said:RolandDeschain":2sqqmbwd said:See whatever you want to see, Popeye. When you guys get friggin' roasted by the Seahawks this year with a healthy Percy, don't cry on our forum.
Oh, c'mon.
As I already said I'm rooting for the guy, and I was here to congratulate you guys as soon as the NFCC ended, and was rooting for you in the SB. You've got the wrong person.

Also, Marshawn Lynch is listed not practicing practically every week all season long every year due to his back, lol.
Just a general question about Marshawn...
...do you guys ever worry that he's gonna have a short career just because of that running style? It seems guys who run like that don't last all that long.
Don't get me wrong...I think he's the best in the NFL not named Adrian Peterson right now, but the way he runs through contact....just seems its gonna catch up with him someday.
He reminds me a bit of Marion Barber (tho much, much better) in that he was just a Barbarian....and then he was nothing overnight.

Popeyejones":70yilopv said:I'll root for any team that 1) hasn't won it before, 2) has more individual players I like, 3) beat my team on the way (losing to the best >>> losing to a loser), 4) pushed back against the finesse movement of the mid 2Ks in the NFL. Who to root for in the SB was pretty easy.
Popeyejones":djqst04h said:Every fanbase is exactly the same: 30 percent idiots and cranks, 30 percent fair weather, 20 percent normal people whose football fandom just turns them into overly emotional buffoons, 10 percent just messing around with other fans for the sport of it, and 10 percent who actually know the game, are fans of the game, and just root for their particular team but can actually hold a decent conversation about the sport.
IMO generalized claims about other fanbases tells one a fair amount about which category of fan the claimant falls, and very little about the fanbase being discussed.
Marvin49":2rmvyqf4 said:I hate to say it....
....but very often I can't stand being with other Niner fans. LOL.
I think it's the same with every fanbase so I'm not calling my own out on it, but I can't attend too many games because the peeps around me usually drive me nuts getting upset and make nonsensical arguments. I can NEVER watch in a sportsbar because its even worse.
I was at the GB playoff game in 2012 and I remember this guy in front of me complaining about the dink and dunk offense under Kaep. I explained to him that Kaps 8.3 yard average per attempt in 2012 was the highest in the whole of the NFL....and I might was well have been speaking Chinese.
Remain at least somewhat reasonable and you're welcome to stay.Popeyejones":27azbsy5 said:LOL. Marvin nailed it. Same here. No wonder we're all off in the wild on a rival team's board. :lol:

The drunk at the Ad-Lib, 1988 Super Bowl (89) arguing with a group of Bengals fans, letting it fly. When Taylor caught the ball for the game winner, the guy runs towards the the table with Bengals fans in an effort to intimidate. As he is screaming "NINERS!" He trips and slams his face into the table where the guys are sitting. They didn't even stop playing cribbage. They just looked at the floor and the bar wench said the cops were on the way. The guy's mouth was a bloody mess.
We got into the car and saw the police arrive just in time for the Niner fan to burst out the door, slap his hands on the hood of the cop car and scream "NINERS!" Again. They cuffed him and stuck him in the car. As we drove by, all we can see is the bloody mouth screaming "NINERS! " one more time, we couldn't hear it, but we knew what he was saying as blood splattered all over the window when he screamed.
If it's any consolation, I have been to every SEA/SF game since 2002. The Digits fans haven't screamed "NINERS" since 2011.Marvin49":qcpf9k0m said:loafoftatupu":qcpf9k0m said:The Niner fans I run into and know have been totally cool.

LOL.
I hate peeps who yell "NINERS!!" or "SEAHAWKS!!!" or whatever.
I have to admit if I were a Seahawk fan I'd be a terrible 12th man.
At Niner games I'm usually silent. Its not because I'm not into the game. It's exactly the opposite. I SOOO into the game that I forget to speak. LOL. I also don't drink (never have) so that might have something to do with it.
There are only a few games I've been to tho that I just started screaming uncontrollably.
1) Garrison Hearst 96 yard run in overtime
2) Alex Smith to Vernon Davis to beat the Saints in the 2011 playoffs
3) Kaps long run for TD vs the Packers in the 2012 playoffs
4) Navorro Bowmans pick 6 in the last ever game at Candlestick last year.
When I hear peeps after the game yelling "NINERS!!!!" and stuff like that...I just want to hide. I hate it. Especially when they are talking to fans of the other team. It takes courage to wear your colors in another teams stadium. I respect that.

Ooh, I've got you beat on sh!tty fandom for that one. We were by the endzone, and I just basked in the glory of it, watching it unfold for 95 yards while in absolute silence. I left the game with bruises all over my shoulders from my drunk friend punching me repeatedly in the back while he was screaming uncontrollably and freaking out that it was actually happening. :lol:
