It felt dirty rooting for the Fish...

but, man, was it fun to watch NE get shut out yesterday. After his final fumble, the cameraman got a great shot of Brady looking like he was about to cry. I really hope that team completely chokes, gets a low seed, and loses in the first round of the playoffs. I'd love to see them get pounded at home by the AFC 5th or 6th seed.

I still couldn't root for the fish. I was hoping they'd both hurt and kill each other...

Brady is too busy trying to file lawsuits he won't win to actually think about football

he's probably trying to sue CBS for that shot of him after the fumble- they didn't pay him rights to his image before embarrassing him on national TV.

my hatred for the Pats has reached the point where I can let some things slide. It was a bipolar experience to say the least- I loved watching the Pats get pounded, but then they'd show the Fins celebrating and I'd feel a little sick to my stomach.

Sorry OP....it's never fashionable to root for the fish.

Even when they shut out the Pansies.

I was rooting against the Patriots- unfortunately they were playing the Fish- so it's hard to root against them without technically rooting "for" the Fish.

Conversely- rooting against the Fish would have meant rooting FOR the Pats- AFCE games where the Bills don't play are quite the paradox.

When I was the score, I was like "Cool...the Pats got stomped....by the Carp." I honestly feel good and bad about it...

you have just exemplified why your position as official billszone historian is a necessary one. those who do not remember Brian Cox spitting on Bills fans are doomed to see it repeated.

Here's my advice: when watching the Dolphins play the Patriots, change the channel.

I completely understand, and feel the same way! It doesn't matter to me who shuts out the Pats, as long as I get to enjoy seeing them get shut out!

no offense, NE39.

Re: It felt dirty rooting for the Fish...

I have a newspaper article that is from three Miami papers combined from after that playoff game. One of them said it was appropriate for Cox to spit, because spitting distance was as close as he got to Thurman Thomas all game...

I'm right there with you. My hatred for the Pats is right above the Dolphins. I get great joy out of seeing Brady look like the whiny piece of **** that he is. I love watching him get drilled by the defensemen and laid out. I love when Belichick gets outcoached. But it feels wrong rooting for the Dolphins. I feel ready to vomit after I'm cheering a big play by the Dolphins defense and seeing them celebrate. But I'd feel sicker if I was rooting for that Patriot team.

I live in CT so I have to hear about the freaking Patriots ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Can you tell I'm bitter?? Yeah, I hated rooting for the Fins but I would do it again in a minute if they were playing (and beating up on) the Patsies.
