Yeah, but look at the date and go back to the Superbowl. It was a pretty good game. You shoulda heard Seattle after Superbowl 48 (f*** Roman Numerals.)
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Puddy paints his face like Satan in support of the NY Devils hockey team. In his own words: “Gotta support the team”.
I always felt the same way! That sense of personal “ownership” fans have is the greatest marketing scam ever pulled off in the history of consumer products!! :D
A long time ago in the Boston area two guys on unemployment were wasting an afternoon reading comics books and watching samurai and kaiju movies. One was a decent artist and with those sources drew a turtle as a ninja. His friend, who was reading an X-Men comic at the time suggested, “Make it a mutant ninja turtle, a teenage mutant ninja turtle.” The artist took some time and did so. I wonder what became of those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Unemployment can lead to better things. BTW, Superman wears Tom Brady pajamas.
It seems illogical that I consider the 49ers ‘my’ team, but I certainly feel better when they win than I did when they had the three-game losing stretch. I think it goes back to our caveman days when it was very important to be part of a tribe. Also, we’re indoctrinated at an early age to root for our home team. The smaller the town the more rabid the fans are.
Something tells me that the DNA marking for “interest in spectator sports” is missing from Mr Peterson’s genome. That’s possible. Speaking from personal experience, either I nor my brother—or our father, come to think of it—would ever dream of referring to any professional athletic team as “we”. Collegiate teams would have a better chance, but at top-notch universities, sports are simply a dull-normal distraction.

Living vicariously through your favorite team. Must be nice – being a Jets and Mets fan, I wouldn’t know.
