    regarding the post about the ravens fan betting on the patriots though...

    what are your thoughts about betting against your team? i say it is 100%, stone cold lock fraudulent. even if your team is a LOCK not to cover. i would never do it. and i berate my friends who would dare think about such benedict arnold move.

    one of my buddy's in college would bet against the birds. this is when they were awful. he would do it on the sneak though. he'd have his girlfriend call the bookie for him. he corrupted that poor lassie. technically this was his way of not being a fraud. but we would all call him out for it.

    this year people were saying the birds were a lock not to cover against the chargers. i knew it too. but in a case like this, i say you just lay off. you can never go against your team.

    If I'm in a pick em type pool, I'll pick against the pats ... but, no, never flat out bet against them.

    I don't even like to bet for them as if you lose, it's a double whammy.

    I'm invested enough in the game at face value.

The fact they don't play in NY due to money and space is irrelevant.


    "why should I root for teams that don't even play in my state."

    Then why do you like Dallas? Why do you cheer for an NFL team at all if your city does not have one?
    they represent new york cause most of the fanbase is from new york cause at one time both teams played in new york. I highly doubt any new yorker would root for the jets or giants if all the history they had was in new jersey. They don't play in ny cause they didn't want to be 2nd class citzens at shea and yankee stadium and cause the people that hold office where the west side yard is are dickheads. The west side yard has tons of space to hold a stadium. It was only a few years ago the jets wanted to move to the west side yard.

    Cause I'm a fan of football and I gotta root for someone. Would it be that big of a deal if growing up I was a fan of the cards or vikings or is it the fact that I'm a cowboys fan that bothers all of you philly people. You philly people are the only ones on who have a problem with this. How much of a bunch of pathetic people are you.

    you are replying to a native new yorker there.

    okay, sorry--please continue making a fool of yourself now.

    if you're in a pool and you have to pick every game, that is a different story. agreed.

    however i was in a spread pool this year where you only pick 4 teams a week. so of course i only put the birds game down if i was picking them. not the other way around.

    true. without traffic east rutherford is a little over an hour away from holbrook. good point.

    however, the george washington bridge (within city limits) is only about 10 minutes closer.....so, your point still a poor one at best.

    Thanks for the history of NY football, most appreciated. Oh and "you philly people", good try but I am from NY, born in NYC, then moved upstate when my family moved. Nice try though.

    According to this it looks like I'm ok with everything but college football/basketball. I had no hometown team within 4 hrs, and my family liked the Redskins, Rams, and Cowboys. I chose the least successful (at the time) team in the Cowboys. The Brewers were my first world series, and I have always been and still am a fan of both of these teams. For College Syracuse University was very close to me (1 hr away), but Derrick Coleman was a no-show at my 4th grade basketball camp so I chose teams that could beat the crap out of SU so I went with the U in football (even though the Flutie game already brought me in), and UConn in basketball. I was bandwagon to choose them, but have stuck with them. So I am a partial fraud, but not really too bad. I kind of think it's funny that there exists "rules" on how and who to root for though. It's kinda like the "not wearing the bands tshirt to their concert" rule. A good mookie blaylock jersey or choices tshirt is always fun to see and I don't think of those fans as frauds...

    Wait, you grew up an hour from Syracuse and the Cowboys are your team?

    Not sure which direction from Syracuse that hour is ... but, wouldn't one of the 3 NY State teams be the team you should be closely affiliated with?

    I smell a youngster jumping on the Aikman/Emmet/Irvin train here. ;) Heck, you even admit to liking the U ... You have a Michael Irvin fathead in your house, don't you? :)

    (Note - I hope you saw the ESPN 30 on 30 special about "The U", it was great).

    where does your location say fool. It says PHILLY NOT UPSTATE new york. I didn't know upstate new york had a town called philly. Does it have less crime rates than philly, PA. If you were a true new yawker you wouldn't be living in a shithole of a city.

    1. My location states that I am from New York but live in Philly. I know you have terrible grammar but "New Yorker in Philly" shouldn't be too hard to comprehend.

    2. You are a fraud, a real "New Yawker" wouldn't be a fan of the Cowboys.

    3. Long Island is the biggest bunch of jerkoffs I have ever come across. If NYS could get rid of Long Island it would make the state a better place. Before you make fun of where I live, take a look at where you live. I will take Philly over Long Island any day of the week.

    4. I moved to Philly for a little thing called a job (a pretty good one at that) and have stayed here for a female friend I met. From what I read about you, it seems like you wouldn't know much about either.

    5. The Mets fucking suck!
