The Bandwagoner: All Aboard Idiot

So sorry for the lack of attention I have given to the blog these last couple of weeks. I have been quarentined by sickness and barely had the energy to pour my wine. Just kidding, I was hopped up off some syssssurp instead. Kidding again I'm not a rapper and it was Robitussin and I took the directed dosage. Anyway, As I am sitting here on my couch alone watching Drew Brees play for the 49'ers, I got on facebook to see what my posse of 2,000 was up to. Ok soooo I didn't know a) half of you even cared about the nfc playoff game, b) half of you are niners fans and the other half Saints. First of all, I do like Drew Brees I mean the dude can throw the ball and not to mention his generous charitible contributions and striking good looks. However, I am a Cowboys fan, through and through and I don't care if they do have a blind ginger giving romo "special massages" after losses, or if Gary Busey is secretly giving Rob Ryan advice in between sets at the strip club and tequila shots; they are still my team. I wouldn't wear a jersey of a team that I passively root for when they are good....I call that blasphemy. Now this doesn't really go for most men out there. Men usually have their team and they are pretty good about sticking to it. It's the chicks that I am concerned about. If you are doing it just because your dude likes a team, ok supportive is one thing but when you only know who the quarterback is and couldn't name one other player on the team and you start painting your face and using the word "nation", that's a little intense. Now I root for Atlanta and the Steelers. Explaination: I lived in ATL my entire childhood and My family is from Pittsburgh, dad grew up there and if I didn't my dad would lock me in a closet. I think I get most offended by Saints fans. Cinderella story, yes, like 3 years ago. You weren't "Who Datting" when they were sucking with Aaron Brooks pre-Katrina were ya? Don't you people want a team where you have some sort of connection with? Even if it is just because your grandpa was a die hard Cardinals fan? Wait, is anyone a die hard Cardinals fan? Anyway,if you want to be a wishy washy fan and only like winning teams then knock yourself out but when people call you out for being a bandwagoner, you have no arguement. Own it. Be who you really are. There is just one rule bandwagoners need to follow...you are not EVER in any situation allowed to use the word "we" when talking about your bandwagon team. There is no "we" bc YOU will jump right on off that wagon the second they go 0-14. Moral of the story Kudos to those who have stayed true to their team through and through! Even if the quarterback is blind and deaf. Cherio!
