Some of you know what I'm talking about. Others of you root for the Jets... anyway:
It feels good to be a champion. You root for a team all year. You deal with haters making crazy claims (ie, peyton manning is better than tom brady, etc...), and you push it off. you just focus on the task at hand: rooting for your team to win ballgames. The haters will make excuses, try to deflect your success, and fail to appreciate the role you play in your team's success. But at the end of the day, you know deep down that you made a difference, and that part of this win belongs to you.
Those Eli Manning fans out there feel me. You deal with CoP'ers claiming that donovan McNabb and the Sanchize are better.
The 2008 phillies fans feel me. You guys rooting your heart our for jimmy and chase and ryan and queeny to beat jose Reyes, rey ordonez and David wright and some other guys. And you won. But the mets fans just made excuses, and then your team fell apart. But you earned that win. You rooted real hard. You made good things happen.
My fellow patriots fans know what I am talking about. We root wicked hard for our team and today we became champions (again). The Dean and other haters will try to diminish our accomplishments, compare us to trent dilfer or Phil simms. But we know we are special. We root better than any other fan, and we matter.
Time to go deflate some balls.
