Between a rock and a hard place: Patriots fan edition
Friday, January 07, 2011
If you're a Patriots fan, you're tribally bound to hate both the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts. The first because they're in your division, have a decent but overhyped quarterback, and have a loudmouth coach who isn't afraid to run his mouth. The second because they're actually a top team with one of the top quarterbacks, and Patriots fans are incapable of admitting that any team or any player is as good - or, God forbid, better - than their team, no matter what.
Tomorrow night, the Colts will host the Jets in a rematch of last year's AFC Conference Championship. I'm curious who Patriots fans will root for, if anyone. Will they root for the better team (whoever they might think that is)? Will they root for neither? Or will they root for the team they'd rather face in the playoffs?
For me, the choice is easy. I'm a Patriots fan (okay, a Patriots "fan"), but I'm a Colts fan first!
