How are you not even mentioning this as a sort-of-Dolphins fan? Shit, I hate those damned arrogant fucks Patriots so much that I'm celebrating the shit out of it and I'm not even remotely a Dolphins fan! |
Haha. I didn't see the game but I did see the score. The Dolphins are more just a team I follow very distantly than one that I really support. I don't know much about them at all now compared with when I first got into them in the 80s during the Shula/Marino era, before kind of losing contact with the game altogether in the mid 90s. I watch games whenever I'm in the US, either at friends' homes or in sports bars,, which for a while actually got me liking college football maybe even more than the NFL, but that really is almost impossible to follow here, so NFL it is - but it'll take time to really start caring about it again. I'll need to refamiliarise myself with the new players and the new team names. (That bit drives me nuts, I mean who the fuck are the Carolina Panthers? They didn't even exist when I was watching it. And where have the Oilers gone?) You talk about the arrogant Patriots but that's obviously something that developed after I originally stopped watching it, so I'm also gonna have to get a grip on who the teams to hate are now. In the Prem it's easy, unless you support Man U, you hate them, just because they're Man U. Schadenfreude is a massive part of enjoying football for me but it'll take time before I can get it from the NFL. Who's worth hating in the NFL right now?
