RUPERTKBD Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Best thing about this game is that the Patsies will have to go on the road, if they can get past the Bolts. (Which I expect them to do, but fervently hope they won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Romo Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Did I violate the sports fandom code by cheering for the Cowboys? heres the background, I’m from and currently live in Saskatchewan. First team I fell in love with was the Canucks as I fell in love with the city and my closest family is there. So I consider Vancouver my “city” even though I don’t live there, or cheer for the lions(go riders), but I do cheer for the whitecaps. So I didn’t really follow the NFL til around grade 5 and I also have family in Dallas and they asked me who I cheered for and I didn’t have a team so I said no one and he said “cheer for the cowboys man” so I did without thinking about it. BUt these last couple months I’ve been thinking, are the Seahawks considered Vancouver’s team? Did I commit a sports fan crime by cheering for the Cowboys? I’m so unease. I’m curious who Vancouver citizens cheer for. But I also cheer for the Jays over the mariners and I’d never switch that. And also we have a big rivalry with Seattle’s new NHLteam so do we really want to cheer for a team in the same city as one of our bigger rivals? I don’t really have an NBA team I’m waiting for the nba to come back to Vancouver. I don’t think I’d cheer for a Seattle team if they got one. I do love the Cowboys and I have history with them, but I feel guilty someone put me at ease that I didn’t do anything wrong and that if I do move to the west coast eventually I won’t be missing out. Anyways tomight could be the first time in mhm life the cowboys get past the divisional round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you broke the Sask code soon as you watched another sport/league; coz Roughriders is a way of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cheer for whomever and tell anyone who disagrees to shut up :p Go Bombers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Joe keeps saying there's been no turnovers, but AFAIK, a missed 4th down gamble counts as a turnover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if my team loses tomorrow, the excuses that skip bayless will offer for the cowboys will make my day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksPatsFan Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Told the owner if the Pats win today I will buy a Patriots flag for him to add. He said (my Spanish is terrible outside of hola and adios so some could've been lost in translation) that Brady was la cucaracha and will be winning games for 10 more years and then he chugged a drink... I don't know if that means he likes him or dislikes him Also these local Mexicans go absolutely insane when they show the cheerleaders going into our coming out of commercial breaks. Like just nuts. Imagine what a bar would've done in Vancouver when Burrows splayed the dragon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never be disappointed....just pleasantly surprised, like with the WC spot last year. I'm already halfway to my playoff goal: The Cowboys are out. I think you know what the other half is...
