So.... the Steelers are in the Super Bowl. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. I was born and raised a die hard Cincinnati Bengals fan. And we're supposed to hate the Steelers with everything we've got. And I've been faithful to that hatred ever since Kemo Von Olhoffen took out Carson Palmer's knee in Cincinnati's first playoff game in 15 years.
I faced the same dilemma a few years ago, when the Steelers made it to the big game versus the Cardinals. But I remember Carson Palmer saying in a press conference after the Super Bowl that he was p*ssed that the Steelers won it all. And I am the kind that backs up the people on the team for which I root.
But whether or not Palmer is loyal to the team or not is to be determined.
The bottom line is that I dislike the Steelers. So since I am apathetic towards the Packers, my rooting loyalties automatically go to the green and yellow.
It's not like in college ball. I've heard many people who subscribe to the point of view that you should cheer for the other teams in your squad's conference when they're not playing you because it makes your team look better.
Yeah, I'm sure there were countless Ohio State fans who were heartbroken when Michigan lost to Appalachian State. And as a Wolverine fan myself, I make it a point to be happy when the Buckeyes lose.
So for Sunday, and only Sunday, Who Dey means Go Packers.
