What is a guy to do?
Published on December 17, 2005 By Chaos Manager In Football
During the NFL season, there are 3 teams that I root for. One, of course, is my favorite team, the New York Giants. The others are (in no particular order) - whoever is playing Dallas and whoever is playing Washington.

So, since Dallas is playing Washington (in Washington), it's brought up a little conundrum. Who should I root for? Of course, I go through this at least twice a season (and once already this season.) Oh, the horrors!!! Is it possible for BOTH teams to lose? In the same game? Although - the last time Dallas played Washington (in Dallas, even) - they both tried really hard to lose and one team failed at that ....

Well, it seems that I know who to root for this time. Dallas needs to be beaten, hard. See, if the Giants can manage to pull off a win against KC this afternoon, and Washington gets their collective heads out of their collective nether regions, then the worst the Cowboys can pull is a tie for the NFC East. And that still locks the Giants in for the win, 'cause all of the tiebreakers go in the Giants' favor (division record is 4-1, will be 5-1 after they trounce the 'Skins on Christmas eve), and the Giants have won both meetings between the teams this season.

So, as much as it pains me to say it, "Hail to the Redskins!!!!!"

Mine are The Raiders, and then your next two!  Tough choice this weekend!  Guess we are going to have to be enemies soon.

Damn, cant they both lose?

I wish.

It was nice that the Cowboys lost, though. Worst case - Tie for first. Giants Win! And very nicely, too.

And I saw something on NFL Today this morning - talking about what team could take Indy, before Indy got beat, of course. They mentioned the Giants.

I got to thinking - the Giants can only meet the Colts in the Superbowl. Can you imagine Peyton Manning facing off against Eli Manning in the Super Bowl? Would LOVE to see that one.

I like the Vikings.

There, I have said it. And I still like the Vikings, depsite the scandals and the crappy performance.
And I could never get behind the Baltimore Jailbirds or the Dallas Cowboys.
Maybe I'll start liking the Redskins...
