    have you not heard of the atlanta rabbits?

    the logo for the south sydeny team is a rabbit.. this is true... but the rabbitohs for whom theyre named is not a rabbit.. it is the guys who would walk the streets selling rabbits, yelling our RABBITOH!!!! kinda like the ice cream man but furrier. :lol:

    do you have a local rugby league team??? if not then how can you be called a fraud... by all means support the rabbitohs... if you ask nicely russell crowe may even give you a guernsey or a cap dependent on how generous hes feeling. ;):lol:

    oh and its the SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS not the sydney rabbits.. a small difference but a very significent one.

    WOOWOO!! done and dusted.. a couple of converted tries down... seemingly playing the time out THEN the scores are even at full time. the rabbitohs win in extra time with a very ugly but effective field goal. GREG INGLIS!!! *sigh* bunnies... come on.. the game is 80 minutes dont stop out hearts for 35 minutes in the 2nd half before you decide to start playing for reals.

    Nets fans. Last night Miami was in New Jersey and the Nets fans were chanting "MVP" for LeBron. Also chanting "Lets go Heat".

    Fraud alert and this one is close to me: my best friend. He was a Nets fan and I think as of last year he has transformed into an Oklahoma City Thunder fan.

    CONFIRMED.

    YOUR FRIEND IS A FRAUD.


    now, it will be your life long responsibility to never let him go back to rooting for the nets when they get good again. i mean if he strays back to them you just have to be merciless in the amount of shit you give him. BE RELENTLESS MY FRIEND!! :x :x :x :x :x

    If you have been a nets fan for this long, how the fuck couldn't you be now? Awesome new place in Brooklyn, sweet gear and ownership that is ready to go. That place in Brooklyn is sweet

    Maybe he just likes hats??? :fp: :fp:


    I met a friend of a friend once and he was wearing a Cardinals hat. I asked him if he was a big Cardinals fan and he said "No, I'm a Cubs fan. I just like the hat". :fp: Couldn't take this dude seriously after that.

    No Cubs fan would wear Cardinals stuff. I loved the fact that the guy who got David Freese's World Series home run ball, met him to give him the ball and take pictures with him. In the pictures with David Freese is the guy and his friend wearing a Cubs shirt.

    as we all know i am a fraud, but after one Seattle Sounders game I was depressed by their 2-0 loss a few weeks ago. They had the best chants ever like "let him die" when a guy gets injured...I was sad for like 5 minutes.

    they draw more than all but 5 EPL teams, and would be the 2nd most attended Serie A team comparatively. Drew Carey is a monster.

    Seattle Sounders - "Football" played in "football" weather. Some day I will get back to the Pacific NW.
    FC Dallas games are impossible to attend much after mid May. Unless you enjoy an instant sunburn and death by humidity.
    I wish a guy like Eddie, would like me.

    ON USING "WE"
    7. I use "we" all the time. I don't see a problem with it. Fans are important. Without a fan base, there would be no team. "We" are all a part in our team's successes and failures.

    ON IN-SEASON BANDWAGONING
    8. This rule does not apply to Cubs fans. We expect the Cubs to suck. But there is no greater feeling to us in the world than a Cubs victory.

    ON ROOTING AGAINST YOUR TEAM
    9. I will add to this rule that, if your team is out of contention and playing an opponent whose victory over your team would keep a team you loathe out of the playoffs, then it's certainly ok to root against your team. (For instance, I hate the Phillies. And if, for example, the Cubs are in last & playing the Braves, and a Braves win would secure the NL East for them and cause the Phillies to miss a Wild Card spot - it's Go Braves!)

    ON FANTASY SPORTS
    10. This is the main reason I hate being around ANYONE when the NFL is in season. I don't play fantasy sports. Why? Because I am a heavily biased sports fan. I refuse to play a betting game where I'm forced to root for players I don't like, or players playing against my REAL team. I can't tell you how many times last year I heard "Sorry Dyer, I want to root for your Niners for you, but <opposing player> is on my fantasy team." To which I would rebut "Well, I want you to do well in your fantasy league, but I hope Patrick Willis sends your guy to the REAL emergency room, you jackass!"
    (Note: I don't actually wish harm on any players, but I need to get the point across that I couldn't give two turds of a shit about your stupid fantasy team.)

    ON RELATIONSHIPS/PARENTING
    16. I'm so glad my parents let me make up my own mind as a child. Thanks, mom & dad. Ya know, for being Steelers fans, you're not so bad after all.

    ON NEW YORKERS PICKING A SIDE
    20. This applies to Chicago as well. You must choose either the Cubs or White Sox, none of this "Well, at least it's a Chicago team" crap. Now, I'm not a White Sox-hating Cubs fan, but I certainly don't ever root for them. And I don't expect WSox fans to ever root for the Cubs, either.

    Someone made a comment a long time back about the fans with a "second favorite team" and how they disagree with it. I don't see a problem with having a 2nd favorite, but all the above rules should apply to your 2nd fave as well. No bangwagoning your #2 team. The only exception is if you follow a favorite player to another team because he signed as a free-agent or was traded. Oh, and NEVER root for your 2nd fave over your favorite!
