Actually you're partially right. The correct response was: "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

With the NFL it really is glaring how much more obnoxious Jets fans are than Giants fans. You can go to a Giants game as an opposing fan without much concern, try that for a Jets game and there's a decent chance you're assaulted. Watching games at bars Giants fans are typically good natured people who act like grown ups. Jets fans are typically d-bag Jersey Shore types who will go out of their way to start trouble. Obviously there are good and bad people on both sides, but in my experience Jets fans are almost always worse.

Yeah, I went to Titans/Jets game in Nashville a few years back and got to experience them firsthand. Mind you, I can't really bash opposing NFL fanbases too hard considering the reputation my own has.

I find the complex about the Cowboys extremely entertaining.

What complex? They've been style over substance for the better part of 15 years now. Jones is a very good salesman.

Exactly...they haven't been a threat for a while lately, yet fans of every other team absolutely hate them. I don't mind anymore - it's fun to cheer for the bad guys.

Fans of other teams hate them because they haven't figured out that they suck and keep going on and on about how great they are before sucking for yet another season.

I'm a Cowboys fan and have had no delusions of grandeur about the anticipated performance of the team since Aikman retired. This year they have no hope of playoffs with 3 rookies on the offensive line and a weaker defence. Romo will be eating dirt and throwing picks all season. In retrospect I'm sure the peak of the 'Tony Romo era' will be that playoff game in 2009 that oddly enough effectively ended the Eagles career of another way overhyped QB.

I rarely say it anymore. It used to be great when you could tell there was another Saints fan in the same bar (rare before a couple years ago). Now with the new breed not necessarily knowing the historical/cultural significance of the saying, etc. it has lost a bit of it's uniqueness. Add the commercialization on top of that and it even starts to grate on me.

I just realized I sound like some of the "I was a Flames fan before '04" hacks...


Now the Bengals... What the fata does "Who Dey?" signify? Get your own slogan!
