To all Patriots fans: You must root for the Eagles because of Rush

C'mon, you've got a few championships under your belt already. Share the wealth, and refute a douchebag's* racist reasoning at the same time.


* I apologize for offending any douchebags by comparing them to Rush.

I can never, EVER root for the Eagles under any circumstances - it's in the Giants fan bylaws. I'd be excommunicated from the house of the Big Blue! ;-)

And no Jets fan could EVER root for the Patriots. So it's a wash.

Speaking of wash, what do you do if the Eagles are playing the 'skins or worse, the Cowboys? You wouldn't root for the Cowboys over the Eagles, would you -- would you?

Rush is the tie breaker here. I support McNabb every chance I get.

I'd make other plans for Super Bowl Sunday, LOL!

I honestly do like Donovan McNabb - but I wish he played for a different team. If I rooted for the Eagles under any circumstances, my family would disown me. ;-)

to me, rooting against the cowboys trumps everything else.

--IMM

where I'll be happy with whoever wins. McNabb and the Eagles are very deserving, having been in the NFC title game 4 straight years. The Pats are as close to a dynasty as we've seen in recent years.

i think mcnabb is a better QB than brady...

the red sox broke their streak, and the eagles just did the same tonight...i don't think they can be stopped now

either way it's going to be an amazing game

But Brady has the 2 titles. Should be a great Super Bowl...

a QB can't always carry the team on his own

The Pats have won enough and I want McNabb to hold up that trophy and say LIMBAUGH WAS WRONG YET AGAIN!

and their team logo looks like John Kerry.

No way, the Pats have the Eagle's single player controversy licked.

I care deeply about pissing Rush off. I would do anything i can to piss that douche bag off.

Having Vick get to the semis can't hurt either.

Hey, we're the most liberal area in the nation. We need to win this one for Kerry. It's our patriotic duty. Rush is small potatoes compared to that.

:toast:

only if you feel Rush is someone worth paying attention to.

I do not think he is worth paying attention to.

Ergo, go Pats.

Remember? He called 'em "socialists" when they started introducing themselves as a team?

OxyRush hates both Super Bowl teams.
KamaAina likes both Super Bowl teams.
Plus the bet bewtween Will and Lynne will be decided at last...
Life is GOOD!

Bonus: Guess who OxyRush roots for? Hint: His airname was "Jeff Christie" when he lived there, and the Pats demolished 'em yesterday... Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Rush really called the Pats socialists for coming out as a team? WTF?

Every time I think that rush and co. can't get stupider they go and prove me wrong.

There was no lack of political content to last Sunday's Super Bowl, from the Office of National Drug Control Policy's new anti-terrorism drug ads to U2's halftime performance. But according to some, the most ideology-infused event took place before the game, when the New England Patriots spurned player introductions and took the field as a team.

The controversy began on Monday, when Rush Limbaugh (a Steelers fan) declared on his radio show that "a lot of people are impressed with the fact that the Patriots are socialists." Despite New England's stunning victory, Rush stood strong against the budding workers' paradise at Foxboro Stadium: "I'm not going to get sucked into this feel-good, do-good, left-wing, socio-economic thing that tries to take away the individuality of the people on the team. . ."

In retrospect, this episode should have been one of the early warning signs that the floors of the EIB studios were becoming littered with little empty bottles.

Thank you for the reminder of why I don't listen to limbaugh. We've reached all new lows of stupid. I wish I could say things can't get any dumber than that, but I'm sure I'll be proven wrong in the next four years and sooner rather than later.

don't think I can do that. I'll most likely have a household of patriots fans.

....I'm rooting for the Iggles so they'll shut up over here for once. Also the biggest loudmouths on the sports stations also were openly mocking Kerry throughout the election season.

Oh, and of course, to stick it to Rush.

:pals:

I was always taught that if you have to lose, it's better to be beaten by the best, rather than the second-best.

I remember after they won their first title in jan 2002, Rush was put off because they refused individual introductions, saying that they were a collective, that they had reached that point as a team and they were going to win or lose as a team. Rush was very irritated about that, and ranted on his show about how "trust me folks, football is an individualist sport."

Ted Kennedy's congratulatory statement, which highlighted the virtues of teamwork that the team demonstrated so well, drew Rush's ire as well, and the front page of his website at the time was devoted to debunking Kennedy's association of football with socialist ethos.

The funniest thing was that there was all this talk at the time of the Patriots being the team of destiny, since they, the "Patriots" won the 1st superbowl after Sept. 11, helping the nation heal, get back on their feet, etc., so conservatives had to love the Patriots, but the team ethos eschewed individualism in favor of the collective good.

Anyway, no matter who wins, Rush is bound to look like an ass :evilgrin:

GO PATS!!!!!!!

New England Uber Alles!! If the Packers aint' in, then the next best is a New England team - preferably a team with "New England" in their name, except for the Jets - they just annoy me - then next choice is whatever is left that isn't from Detroit, Chicago, LA, Dallas, St. Louis, or any other shit city, or from the south, or the stealers. Sorry, but BRadshaw's team pissed me off way way back when they beat a team I liked in the super bowl. THe Eagles, sadly, also carry the taint of the Stealers, but it's not as bad. Philly is a great city.

So that leaves Buffalo, Vikings, 49ers, Colts, whatever the hell team is from Ohio, assuming that team hasn't moved, Seattle, and Denver. And I guess there's a team in Arizona now, so we'll include that. And San Diego? Do they still have a team?
