Patriots or Raiders?
 

It's always seemed to me that everyone outside of New England hated the Patriots pre-dynasty, and hate them even more now.
Who are you rooting for tonight?

Huh? I'd say they're the least-hated "dynasty" ever.
Certainly nobody hated them during the Dick McPherson era.

This is incorrect. I've never met anybody that hated the Patriots -- now or pre-dynasty.

Wow, really? I'll admit, the Dick McPherson is slightly before my football time -- didn't get into it until about the mid 90's -- but I've taken crap for wearing Pats attire outside New England both before and after we started winning. Admittedly, I've taken more of it in the last couple of years, but it's always surprised me.

I want a good game and LaMont Jordan to get every yard and touchdown for the Raiders offense.

Re: Patriots or Raiders?
 

Haha. I suppose from a fantasy perspective, I'd like the Patriots to win 30-28. 4 TD's for Porter (if I get the nerve to start him), and 10 50 yard field goals from Vinny.

I think as a football fan you're going to run into that with just about any team. Try wearing Bears gear in Wisconsin. You talk about getting some crap...

go raiders.

im hoping for a 33-30 win for the west coast, with 10 vinateiri field goals.

Yeah you've got a point, I'd imagine that is pretty bad. I wore a Red Sox hat to Yankee Stadium once.. Unless I'm with at least half a dozen people, I will never wear one there again.
