LEFT 4 DEAD IS A LOT LIKE FOOTBALL - I JERK OFF TO BOTH

NFL rules state you're only allowed to root for one team, except for when your team is tanking.

What if your head coach is Josh McDaniels?

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

Then your team is tanking, they just don’t know it yet.

That’s not rooting, that’s masochism

That’s just plain suffering. Also i side eye anyone who roots for their team and the divisional rival. That is just wrong.

edit: I give it a day or two Florio gets ripped apart for that stupid loving statement.

My God, imagine the Clownball… Game goes to triple OT, ends on a safety caused by a botched field goal that goes completely insane. Super Bowl MVP is a punter.

Everyone should have three favorite teams: One in the NFC, one in the AFC, and whoever is playing the Cowboys that week.

When the 49ers and Broncos played at Wembley in 2010, the biggest cheers were for whenever the Cowboys score came up on the scoreboard as they were in the process of getting absolutely humped by the Jaguars in Dallas

Its very normal to have two teams especially if you move somewhere. There were/are even dual Ravens/Steelers fans especially in the early days of the Ravens.

Also lots of people who rooted for like the 49ers or the Cowboys etc while Baltimore didnt have a team still cheered for them too

When Steelers fans used to really take over Ravens home games back in the late 90s and early 00s, many of them were even Ravens season ticket holders who cheered for the Ravens in all the other games! Fairly rare now though. Typical habitat degradation

When I moved to Colorado I thought I might root for the broncos as long as they weren’t in conflict with the Pats. Then they almost immediately signed Peyton and were our biggest rivals for several years and lol. Now they’re quite harmless but the conversion to villains was done.

I have a big soft spot for the Giants because I started following the Ravens and the NFL only in 2008 and that Super Bowl sealed the deal and made me a football fan 4 lyfe

You have your home team and you have your team that your franchise player was traded to because your team stunk for 30 years and was on the verge of wasting him.

Even though the Panthers were in the NFCW for only a few years, it still feels weird to root for the Niners

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

I had that start with the Chiefs when Joe Montana went there. Had to! Later when the Niners were stinking things up, I could sometimes get some joy out of football when the Chiefs were good. That's how I caught Mahomes early in his career, so I'd say it paid off.

I cheer for lions in NFC and Dolphins for AFC since both coaches have too much fun, but I enjoy watching the 49ers because it’s usually good football and then watching the bills because I think they had the same story as the lions and sucked for a long time

My parents both grew up in the Philadelphia area (My grandparents had season tickets back in the '60s and were at the game where Santa got pelted with snowballs), but our family moved to Metro Detroit over 2 decades ago so they root for both the Eagles and the Lions. I don't consider myself an Eagles fan, but I'll definitely root for them in the playoffs if the Lions are out of it. I've also had a lingering fondness for Carolina since we lived in Charlotte a few years when I was a kid, and we would pass by the stadium whenever we went to Carowinds.

Huh weird, I also have the Vikes as a sidepiece. The misery seems comparable.

If the Vikings and the Chargers both got to the superbowl the cosmos would crash the two team jets into each other and goddel would declare that both teams lost standing on the wreckage
