I am going to watch the Chiefs game, ftr. Despite the Jets being 1-7. Always liked Andy Reid. Heh. Seriiously I want to see what Vick can do with a week practicing with the first team. It's not much, but it is something.
You're confusing two separate things -- how you feel about the teams success this season and the team overall which drives your fandom. Are you not a Jets fan in the offseason because they aren't playing? Of course you are because your being a fan is driven by something other than the on field team and performance. That's what he is asking about. What drives that interest, not what makes you happy about the team when it is successful. By your logic if you are more if a fan when they are winning than losing you aren't a fan at all when they aren't playing and there are no wins and losses to guide your level of fandom with the team. But that is because you are confusing interest in the season with fandom of the team.
Well of course in the offseason you look forward to the draft..and considering my baseball team is the Mets I usually want football to be back sometime around the middle of May. But if he asked this question after the season..or even before this one started. He would've gotten the same answers from fans. Plain and simple were a beaten bunch. And the players are out of touch with that reality. But in my mind if you're a fan of a team then you're a fan. Yeah you'll always have the diehards that are there watching in the cold when were 1-10. Thats just not me though. But at the same time Im not gonna root for another team either. And thats the true definition of a "fairweather fan". Big difference in wanting to root for a team that only does well and being pissed that your favorite team is shitting the bed every week. If that was me I would've stopped rooting for the Jets a long time ago.
You are still confused about what he asked. He asked a broad question -- why you love the Jets which is not game or season specific and why you are a fan even in the off season. Whether your interest in the team wains or grows during a season based on their success doesn't mean you are more or less of a fan during those times. Those due hards in the snow when we suck aren't more of fans they simply haven't lost their interest in the season.
Im not confused at all. I know what he was trying to ask. But like I said before it's the wrong time to ask it. Why are you shocked as to why a million people responded the same way? Do you think all of em didnt understand the question? We're angry right now. It doesnt matter what his intention was when asking. What matters is he , or whoever runs his account , is dumb enough to post a question like that when were 1-7. Like it or not that affects many fans opinion on things. When we're looking at a 4th year in a row without the playoffs and 40+ years with no Superbowl you arent gonna get the lovable answers that you might get from a Pats, Broncos, Steelers or Packers fanbase.
I'm not focusing on it, it's just an obvious example. Considering most popular songs on the radio fall under the category of Country, Hip Hop, or Bubblegum Pop, I would make that same argument.
[Verse 1] I'd given up on love I'd given up on me Everything for you was never as it seemed I was running out of reasons I was running out of time I thought I'd stopped believing Then you showed me the light [Chorus] You found me in the darkest night You're my angel You saved my life I can't believe we're standing here What's mine is yours, and yours is mine I love you till the end of time I wanna spend forever with you I do I do I do [Verse 2] I can see us Growing old and grey Standing beside you When we walk through heaven's gates Cause soulmates live together From one life to the next We'll always be together I promise you this [Chorus] You found me in the darkest night You're my angel You saved my life I can't believe we're standing here What's mine is yours, and yours is mine I love you till the end of time I wanna spend forever with you I do I do I do [Bridge] They always say "you'll know when you know" I didn't know it could feel like this With every touch, with every kiss You found me in the darkest night You're my angel You saved my life I can't believe we're standing here [Chorus] You found me in the darkest night You're my angel You saved my life I can't believe we're standing here What's mine is yours, and yours is mine I love you till the end of time I wanna spend forever with you I do I do I do Lyrics from <a href="http://www.elyrics.net">eLyrics.net</a> It's not exactly Shakespeare now is it.
What, there are millions of hysterics responding irrationally on the internet?!? What a shock. As I mentioned, someone being irrational is an indictment of them not Decker.
I sound about as stupid as you did before the season started on how Idzik couldn't do no wrong in your eyes. I maybe illiterate but I know football. Now your so pissed off that you bf left you because u can't get it up anymore.
All of my inlaws are coming to spend the next 10 days. They're all from Western Missouri and guess what? Yep, all Chief fans. I'll be watching the game and at the same time, frying wings and smoking a brisket if its not too windy outside OR inside. I'm hoping the Jets actually show up and make a game out of it. That's all I ask. Just don't embarrass yourselves out there Jets. Show up and give it a good effort.
Absolutely. It will be frustrating if Vick really does improve the performance of hte O, and that alone will not mean a win, since the secondary is in shambles. But I am not convinced there are no good games in this team as long as Smith sits. I just dont want to see him play anymore for the Jets. They in effect torched two seasons for him already. Get out of town.
True, but on the other hand if Vick sucks even after a week of practice with the first team, then things would be even worse than they are now. Hope for the best, but at least be prepared for the worst!
