NFL 2016 NFL - Week 13

[Spirit Level]

This is literally me, although different episodes. In one of the earliest seasons, he is supporting the Cowboys in a regular season game; so on the wagon I jumped.

YES! I knew i wasn't crazy, I thought Dallas had been in there more than once.

Did he explain to Maggie that they were his team and he wanted them to lose by less than 7 to cover the spread?

Both of these contributed to my supportership, haven't looked back since

Yep that's the one

If it was the Jacksonville Jags or Cleveland Browns in that Simpson's episode I have a feeling it would have been a different story. Still I don't blame someone for following a good well known team in a new game they're trying to follow if it helps them like the game more. Think it's great that so many on here seem to have a real passion for their team as if they grew up with them.

What I don't understand is why a guy like Kevin Durant would want to go to the Warriors. Basketball is a game where on guy can have a massive effect. Yet instead of making a difference at a team he just joins the best. Ultimate bandwagoner.

WTF is the definition of a bandwagon fan?

Jesse from Breaking bad....but he's cool. If I had the moolah I would go to every superbowl too and play along.



ps: he's a giants fan and his dad is a patriots fan.......fun household lol

 

[fuey]

Nothing like a fuey meltdown when the Cowboys are playing well

That's not a meltdown!

I saw something funny, I posted it. It just HAPPENED to be anti-cowbot.

I haven't even raised a sweat with this one, I'm not even having a go at anyone on this forum.

Except for Chism , he sucks.

Paxton v Bortles

What an ugly game this will be

The function of the bandwagoner tag isn't to start a discussion about why some new poster chose their team. Fundamentally, I think that is likely to be of no interest to anyone.

The function is a societal one, integral to the functioning of boards such as this. The principle is simple: if you're not around when your team isn't a top one, nobody wants to hear from you when they are. We, as a board that discusses the game and interacts regularly (including all of the shots at each other that come from that), don't have to respect or take s**t from people who don't offer anything by way of analysis or discussion, and who do not show up to cop it sweet when their team isn't brilliant.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Most importantly imo is the diversity of support.

 

[GreyWind]

Being an Australian NFL fan it's probably easier to jump on a bandwagon simply due to the FTA games being shown.

Pretty sure people on this board have said that's how they started and then found a team that they actually liked.

 

[quotemokc]

Imo choosing a team with a new up and coming qb and entering a new era is a reasonable way of choosing

Why people jump on Durant but not LeBron is beyond me. LeBron only joined Miami cos of Bosh and Wade. Then only joined Cleveland when we was assured of getting Love.

If anyone is the bandwagoner its LeBron.

Agree and unfortunately it's the way the AFL is going as well.

If you don't think people jumped on LeBron, I'm not sure what planet you were on.

Tyreek Hill became the first player with a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown and kick return score in a single game since Gale Sayers (1965, Bears against Vikings).

They should have let him kick an extra point.

 

[larkis]

I dunno, tough to jump onto a new team and become a fan. Hard to leave all that baggage behind.

If someone does freely jump then let them, they are still trying to find their place in the sport.

He would've become the first player to do all those things and a PAT since....whom?

[Milk Steak]

I went through a bit of a process picking a team before I decided that I wanted to support Detroit. Didn't want any of the top teams or the universally popular,didn't want one of the newer franchises either, but wanted someone that I thought was good to watch,bit of an underdog and with potential to have some success and make playoffs in the nearish future. I wasn't even a watcher of NFL until a few years ago and now I'm a bit obsessed. Love all the stats,the desperation to get that 1st down, the last few minutes when a team needs a length of the field drive to win etc.

Halas Blanda comes to mind. I had a book of NFL records somewhere. Will look for it , or maybe get lazy like kids today and google it

Meanwhile.....

 

[GreyCrow]

I would recruit any kid who tackles him from in front.

They all would tackle from in front, they have no other choice, he's as wide as the LOS.
