I am rooting for Philly.  I always had the Eagles near the top of my list, ever since I was a kid and used to put my football cards in order of how much I like the team.  Dolphins #1, Bengals #2, Eagles were somewhere in the top 6 or 7.

But over the years I've come to hate Eagles' fans, like many other people have stated.  Most classless fan base I've encountered personally - of course not all fans but, as a whole.  Just terrible.

But I can't sit by and watch the Chiefs run away with another trophy.  Especially the way this season has gone.  Chiefs never scored more than 30 points until the championship game.  They're winning cause their defense is sneaky-good and, of course, a few timely calls by the refs.  I'm not in the "NFL is rigged" crowd but you're lying to yourself if you don't see they blatantly get favor from the officials.  It happens but I don't have to like it. 

The end of the Bengals game sticks in my craw.  That was no more PI IMO than happens on every other play - he was playing the ball.  Whatever.  They should have lost that game. Roll Eyes

Just to re-phrase what I said up above.   I don't think the NFL is rigged but some of the playoff games certainly are.   How else can you explain the results from the past few years?   You can't.

^^^ That makes absolutely no sense. I'm not saying it's rigged except some of them??? It either happens or it hasn't happened. There is no gray area.

There's been enough speculation already, so the Chiefs get a sweet ride with the refs in the Superbowl again, the whole thing is likely to blow up. Even the stories meant to dial down the conspiracy theories are just bringing it to attention:

The NFL is on notice for this game, and any perceived favoritism towards the Chiefs will be pointed out and shoved in their face. I don't think they are keen for that to happen.

How do you guys feel about not really caring? When I was younger I always picked one team to root for. Everyone is asking me who I want to win and I honestly don't have an answer. I'm a Dolphins fan. If it was one of the division rivals I would likely be rooting against them but these two don't drive me to care either way.

Yeah, that is kinda how I feel.

For sure.  There are lots of years I don't care.  And while this year are two teams that I'm not excited for, I really do hate the Eagles fans and don't want them to experience pleasure.

I guess the Chiefs mostly because Philly Fans are the worst.  However mostly I'll just be rooting for my numbers to come in for the pools i'm in.

I hear so much about Philly fans but I don't get that experience. Pittsburgh fans are much worse around here.

I think this is closest to how I feel.  I rooted for the Eagles all season because I had Saquon on my fantasy team.  But in the end I really don't care who wins, as long as it is a good FAIR game.
