As you know by now the NFL season has been reduced to the Final Four. Unfortunately for T3I our respective beloved Steelers, Eagles and Raiders are preparing for the NFL annual player selection meeting…more commonly known as the Draft. With our favorites gone, I thought I’d offer up my rooting interest perspective, remember this compilation does not necessarily reflect the views of Russianator or Champ.
Patriots
Reason to back them: None
Reason to oppose them: Several, including Steelers losses to them in 2 AFC title games this decade. Bill Belichick. Gillette Stadium is in the middle of nowhere. But the overriding factor….I hate Boston sports teams.
Chargers
Reason to back them: Powder Blue jerseys. Air Coryell Era was entertaining.
Reason to oppose them: January 15, 1995…another Steelers loss in AFC title game, that one still stings. N-O-R-V. Shawne Merriman.
Giants
Reason to back them: David Tyree? (that’s a reach)
Reason to oppose them: Exit 16W. Forced diet of Giants games by WTVH-5 and FOX-68 as a kid tasted worse than the green leafy crap on my dinner plate.
Packers
Reason to back them: Lambeau Field. Hearty fan base. Brett Favre. Cheese.
Reason to oppose them: Wisconsin is home to Miller Brewing Co.
In the end I’ll force down the Miller Lite and "back the pack", plus it would be a great story to see Favre get another title and ride off on his tractor...whatever the case remember there only 3 real football games left until August….so enjoy them.

I'm going all NFC for my rooting interest. I'm endorsing the Pack. But will bach the GMEN over either New England or San Diego.
Good post Boss - I was rooting for a stadium collapse in the Giants-Cowgirls game. I guess it's the pack by default, although with the way the media fawns over Brett Favre, two weeks of that hype might make my head explode.
Gents, in your reflections on who should be backed in the run for the Super Bowl you forget the most important item, you HAVE to back the team who has a fan base that worships cheese and bratwurst.
Yummy .
The Captain
Reason to back them: David Tyree? (that’s a reach)
Umm, I believe you have overlooked the best player on the team. Green Bay best prepare for the FEAGLES FACTOR.
GO GIANTS!
