SB 46: Choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil

when pats fans and giants fans cross swords... it's just gross

I intended to post this in reply to Cobb's earlier SB post but basically got too lazy. I've already accepted that no matter what team wins I'm gonna hate the result, and will have to deal with the respective annoying fanbase for, well, the rest of my life because that's how annoying these fans are. So with that in mind, what's important to me is ensuring I enjoy this game as much as possible (if that's possible). My gameplan is as follows:

  • Have a lot of booze on hand. This seems obvious, but I've already taken off work the next day so I fully plan on tapping into everything I have at my disposal. Scope is not out of the question. Plus waking up hungover with minty fresh breath would be great/super confusing.
  • Gamble like a lunatic. I'm betting on everything I possibly can. Coin toss, first WR to score a TD, overs, unders, the color of Al Michael's suit...hell, I'll even bet on the Bud Bowl and that's not even on anymore. I hope to be so cross-eyed it will just play out in my head. I can't lose!
  • Needle the fans of whatever team is losing. It will make me feel better.
  • Keep mentioning how the Redskins beat the Giants twice, and use it as a ludicrous foundation for optimistic hopes for the 2012 season.

Its really hard to say I'll be "rooting" for any one of these teams. The Boston fanbase has solidified itself as the biggest bunch of a-holes on the planet. I cannot fathom those "douchiers" celebrating another championship. Its rather infuriating. On the other hand you have the Giants, which contains a lot of the Yankees fanbase, who I also hate. Plus most Giants fans were willing to totally blow up the team 3/4 of the way thru the season, had given up, and were saying how much they sucked, wanted Tommy C. fired (again), then they got into the playoffs...and turned into the same annoying/cocky jagoffs we've all grown so accustomed to. No humility, no "sweet, I can't believe this is working out for us!"; NYG were a freaking 9-7 team, I'd just be happy to be there.

Even with all that baggage, I'd still rather see a NYG victory. I just cannot stand Boston anymore. Hopefully the big winner will be BBD. I'm envisioning myself at the end of the night with a wad of cash in my hand and a terriffic buzz, although its more likely I'll be broke and smashed out of my shoes.
