Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 3: Try Hard with a Kengeance

[wannabejack]

Shawshank the most overrated drivel ever.

Joe Dirt is a better fillum than that.

Someone had to post it.

I suggest you continue watching the league as a neutral unless you have an emotional attachment to another team

This is where my thoughts keep ending up.

This is where my thoughts keep ending up.

Its kinda hard with foreign sports since they're on a times that are hard to watch sometimes.

I probably wouldn't be arsed with the premier league if I didn't care about Liverpool

 

[NoddyHolder]

Guess this is the right thread to dump a random thought.

F**k me dead - just noticed it's coming up on 15 years I've been using this site. That seems like a crazy amount of time.

an entire lifetime for a dog

Statistics say we've only got a few more hours to find the Atlanta Falconios or it's not looking good

 

[chiwigi]

As a Raiders fan also you could have been excused for having those thoughts with them. It probably took Al to die for us to turn it around.

Any team that re-locates is totally fair to drop.
Why should someone from Oakland support a Vegas team or Baltimore - Cleveland, its mad.

I love American sports (not so much basketball), so I chose a city when I was young. Simplifies the whole process

Being crap is never a reason to stop support.

However, if I were to spend some time over there in a different city and actually ATTEND games of a team, I'd probably change to those I've seen live.

I've had a couple of mates who hated soccer go over, live and work in the UK, and become die hards after only going to a few games.

From "wogball, like watching paint dry, divers" to "it's ****in' awesome".

Hypothetical - is there ever a justification for turncoating on a team you support? I've always believed there isn't, but being a Knicks supporter and seeing them persistently mismanage and fail at everything they put their hand to has made me question my beliefs. It's all the owner too, and he's never gonna sell the team, so it's pointless to even hope it'll change. Thoughts?

I think if you just have a passing interest in it then it probably doesn't really matter.

If your attachment is deeper though you gotta keep the Captain company and go down with the ship.

When it comes to me and sport there is no passing interest, unfortunately.

I have followed the Raiders from Oakland to LA and back again. Won't drop them when they move again, but is probably a bit different when you do not reside in the city they are leaving. That would suck massive eggs.

Yes, doesn't apply as if you don't live in the city you can follow the franchise. It's a different type of support.
I didn't pick Port for any reason other than they represent the place I call home.

Yeah same, I picked Chicago on the strength of a White Sox cap that my parents bought me as a kid.

It's worked out pretty well, apart from the f@#kin Bears!

Not much in the off-season mate. And yeah ... maybe not so much even during the season of late. Depends what's going on in life.

There's life outside of BigFootball?

Yeah but you get caught up in a bit of the old ultra violence and you forget all your worries.

Hahah, I went Cubs for a similar reason (and Brewsters Millions). It helped that Chicago had a very strong Welsh background.
****ing Bears!

I remember a skit on Comedy Inc going back a few years now and they were parodying sports merch and had a soccer shirt with "**** wogball" crossed out and "go socceroos" in texta.

It was funny because how many people jumped on the soccer bandwagon when the Socceroos had mild success in that world cup.

Plus Raider Nation is bigger than any one city.

Yeah, the southern cross tatt-types in Wallabies jerseys getting behind "Timmy Carl" and "Goose Hidding" gave me the shits.

The same dickheads who trample all over Gallipoli singing Khe Sanh despite no-one in their family ever having fought for Australia.

 

[CharlieKelly]

Boston is my main city for American sports, easily my favourite city when I went there

Pacers because Reggie Miller is my first cousin. Colts because you know one city one dream and the Jacksons are from Gary, Indiana and there is a town nearby called Normal, Indiana and well that's good enough for me.

You must have watched them back to back on mushrooms.
