How long to hold a football grudge?

[DCH]

People underestimate the local experience. There's something awesome about everyone in a city being onboard with a team.

That's what brought me to Rams fandom in the first place - being a STL kid who lost football when he was 7 enjoying local NFL football, shared with family and friends, all pulling together for the same goal.

I would quit football altogether before I backed the Patriots....I am built to back one team, regardless of location, but that's me.

As a broncos/rams fan. I feel i should only post this.

My not a rams fan what?

 

[BigRamFan]

Two words...for ever! I hate the f#@king patsies, the city of Boston and the entire NE region for stealing that doer Bowl.

One other thing I have never been able to comprehend is the term "second favorite team". WTF?

I've been holding a grudge against the Minnesota Vikings since December 29 , 1974

'69 Rams / Vikes playoff game for me. Tom Mack is STILL set and freakin' waiting for Iman to snap it.

You're dead to me now.

Someone had to say it.

Yeah, the audacity.

It's not a big deal. I am a Steeler fan too. Like the Rams I've stuck with them for years. Why in the hell is that so bad?

As long as Belechik and Brady are on the sidelines I will hate the Patriots

It's just the way it is
Some things will never change

 

[RhodyRams]

And by the way @DCH , I believe the Rams will be in Foxboro next season

See ya there

Hey, I will be there rooting for a massive rout of the Pats. Been a while since the two teams have played - London 2012 or 2013 I think? - which to me kind of removes a lot of the "rivalry"

I don't like Brady or Belichick, but I hated Little on the Rams... so, there's that...

Ohhhhhh noooo , the rivalry is still there in my eyes... RAMS owe me a beat down of the Pats

Maybe Rams can borrow Tom Coughlin for the day of that game

I'm all for a Rams beatdown of the Pats... just have embraced NE as my "second home" town team. Like I root for Bradford as long as he's not playing the Rams.

For me it's the exclusive connotation of the word "favorite", but that's just one guy's view...

I think it's pretty common for people to have a team on the other conference/league that's their "other favorite." I'm a Cardinals fan from birth, but have liked the Mariners a lot for a long time as my AL team.

Not judging. That's cool if that works for you, I just don't get it.

If the Rams aren't playing, is there a team you like to see win? Just askin'.
