The Packers have no inside linebackers and their defensive linemen are all suspended. You don't want to root for that defense.

Actually it's pretty fun. And losing Guion for a couple of games will hurt but nothing much will change without Jones.

Seriously... half the fun of football is wishing your team Giants or Packers type sustained success. Starting with a team like that is a shortcut.

He plays both while the younger dudes get up to speed with the system. The rushing defense was much better with him on the inside. The defense got better by getting rid of Hawk and Jones.

Picture Liverpool. Now picture a Liverpool that is most definitely not star-crossed, a Liverpool that consistently rewards its fans' delusions, always leads the league in goals scored, has recently won championships, and regularly gets to the knockout stages in the Champions League. Imagine Gerrard retiring, then Liverpool immediately replacing him with Messi. Then think long and hard about becoming a fan of that team.

It sounds pretty rad, but there are principles at stake here. :colbert:

I agree with this, except the way you choose the team to root for shouldn't be by who you love, but by who you hate. Find the team that sticks in your craw, the player you want to throw stale beer at, and the owner whose heart attack you dream of. Then cheer for their rival.

I wish for the death of Dan Snyder and want to throw beer at head/knee hunter Brandon Meriweather, so I guess that makes me a Giants fan.

Everything that annoys me about the Yankee fanbase is balanced out by the Giants fans. It's not like Boston / New England where each team feeds off of each other's persecution complex and makes everything about that area an awful fanbase.

Redskins and Seahawks actually have an interesting little rivalry, at least the players do. Every drat game they end up fighting, getting chippy, or jawing like divisional rivals. This season's game is going to be a lot of fun.
