Who to root for?

by mjmrad on Nov 21, 2010 7:04 PM CST

Now that the Vikings season is essentially over, who should I root for now?

Below are a list of the teams that I might root for to win the Super Bowl this year. I'm leaning toward New Orleans and Philadelphia, but you can help me choose which one I should pick...

I'll say this - whichever team wins this poll I will root for, but only the rest of this year. Next year, it's back to Minnesota again. (I'm not a bandwagon fan, but it's only Thanksgiving, and I want to invest my heart in some meaningful football the rest of this year.)

Poll

Who should mjmrad root for the remainder of the season (PS - I left off the NFC North teams on purpose)?

St. Louis - Man, that Bradford sure can throw

5 votes

Seattle - I live in Oregon, so it is the closest "home" team

1 votes

New Orleans - Man why couldn't they have had their "magical" season this year instead of last

6 votes

Tampa Bay - they're an underdog with an impressive record so far

13 votes

Atlanta - I wonder what Matt Ryan would look like with a mustache

4 votes

NY Giants - Eli Manning, a great running back, a great defense - almost reminds me too much of last year

2 votes

Philadelphia - Michael Vick - wow, if only we could get a Vick clone to put on Tavaris Jackson's uniform

20 votes

Oakland - Aren't they due for a good season?

6 votes

San Diego - It's warm there - be a nice place to wait it out until next season

2 votes

Kansas City - I drove through there once, and I couldn't find anything to do

4 votes

Indianapolis - It's never a bad thing to root for Peyton Manning, especially when he makes something out of nothing/injuries

1 votes

Jacksonville - Reminds me a lot of another team that's looking like they might move :(

0 votes

Tennessee - Randy Moss, where are you? We miss you!

4 votes

New England - Belichick, the coach everyone covets

9 votes

NY Jets - ummmm, I don't know if I could root for a NY team

1 votes

Once again, this publishing thing didn't get my strikethough on the first paragraph. Any formatting tips?

Doesn't really matter. Just go root for one of them. Any of them.

And don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. C-ya! :)

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

Wow - didn't see that coming or anything rolls eyes

I did'nt see Packers either (understandable)

But I’m an NFC man I don’t like the AFC teams except when they play Dallas. I would root for the under dog myself Tampa Bay or Atlanta because they haven’t won a Superbowl

No Vikings on there?

I dont care, I will still root for this damn team. I cant not watch them, it’d be like not taking a piss in the morning… I’d feel like I’m missing something.

But after the Vikings Ive always been an Eagles fan because of McNabb and Vick used to be my favorite player before the Dog Scandal and with him there I love me some Eagles.

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your entire rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Much like Slim Pickens

I’ll ride this sucker down till the season is over.

I may watch the Superbowl, but couldn’t careless who wins, well, as long as it isn’t the Steelers or Cowboys.

Dysfunctional Family - Family in disarray. Fractured and lack of communication of family. Minnesota Vikings 2010 season surpassing any nightmare brought upon by the 1989 aquisition of Herschel Walker or the 2005 Love Boat Scandal on Lake Minnetonka.

Look at in in a uplifting way....

quoting another Slim Pickens movie (1941), though not said by Slim himself……“We’ll follow it and blow the shit out of something big”

Let me make something perfectly clear

I WILL STILL ROOT FOR THE VIKINGS!!!

I just put playoff contenders up there as something to pass the time until next year…

by mjmrad on Nov 21, 2010 8:08 PM CST reply actions

Anyone but Green Bay or Chicago

The Battle For The Basement

Looks like the Lions and Vikings will battle for last place in the NFC North. Maybe both will lose. Oh well, another season down the drain. This reminds me of my last time in Minneapolis when the I-35 bridge collaped!

shouldnt you root for the vikings still?

dont want NE to get too high of a pick in the 3rd round do you?

And douchebag speaks again

and just like last time, still wondering if you have anything intelligent to say.

by VikesFaninNM on Nov 21, 2010 9:46 PM CST up reply actions

you still use that word?

I just wrote this three lines above but I'll say it again

I WILL STILL ROOT FOR THE VIKINGS!!!

I can answer that question It's easy

Who to root for?

Root for the Vikings picking up a top 5 pick to Get Mallet Or Luck!

☠★☪My dream, is to see the Minnesota Vi♛s win a superbowl. USA- the land were dreams come true. ☀ ツ This is our ۩۩house۩

by UnBannedVikingholic on Nov 21, 2010 9:50 PM CST reply actions

Don't you dare root for Saints...

…I will hunt you down and eat your heart with an ice cream scoop.

Voted Pats.

I was surprised to even see them on the list on this site!

by TrevorR on Nov 22, 2010 9:56 AM CST up reply actions

I will root for the team that wins the North.

Here’s the way I look at it. If we think our competition in the division sucks, that means we suck even worse. Let’s just say Green Bay makes it to the Super Bowl. That means we got beat twice by a good team and we don’t look so bad. Make sense?

It will be hard to support Chicago though. There’s something about that Cutler guy that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I need to see an interview with him to become enlightened.

Want to see the Eagles do well

It has nothing to do with Vick but that i have a good friend that was a UDFA and is now playing on ST and is #2 RT. his name is Austin Howard. look for him he is looking good for a rook.
cant wait to see how he develops.

Saints? How can you even consider that trash?

by angryguy77 on Nov 22, 2010 9:49 AM CST reply actions

You should have put whoever plays the packers as an option.

Go with Black and Gold

You can’t go wrong.

I’d say Tampa Bay. My brother and I were talking about something similar last night…We said “Who would you cheer for if the Vikings moved to LA?”. Came to the conclusion I’d be a Lions fan, a up and coming team and we’d probably get to see them on TV here in Minnesota. Just couldn’t be a Vikings fan if they were in LA. It’d be like cheering for the Lakers. Lets just pray we get a new stadium.
