WHO WILL YOU CHEER FOR ... THE VIKES....OR PATRIOTS....in the INEVITABLE UPCOMING SUPER BOWL ??

[Zool]

Fascinating. The Vikes fans I know were mostly into alternative scenarios; what if the refs called a good game, what if our offense has just run into teams who are playing their best defense when we played them, etc.

I find it hard to believe that they get loud and front run. How does it manifest?

No matter what happens to the Vikings in any given week, there is a subset that watches the Packers to see if they lose. And when they do lose, it’s a never ending stream of bullshit.

I've never see anything like this Cleveland sports bar where the browns and steelers fans just yell at each other all game long (this was more exciting in the early 2000s when Cleveland actually could win a game). Everything that went wrong for each team was loudly cheered by the opposition. When they played each other it was absolute pandemonium and sometimes fights broke out. The bouncers didn't stop the fights, just directed 'em out the door and let the cops deal with it (But they didn't call the cops so most often they didn't show). Often guys would return bloody, order some more drinks and just pick up where they left off.

This story sounds like it could have been from some long, by-gone era. Say Roman Times, outside the Colossoeum, some dive watering hole. An oarsman from Pompei is pissed because Tiberius Rex didn't defeat the Son of Vercingetorix. He then gets in a knock down drag out brawl with some local masons who mocked him for bettin his last sestertius on the clearly over the hill Tiberius Rex. They knock one another bloody in the alley outside and then stagger in for another amphora of cheap wine.

Are you not entertained?
