A Toast to the Old Guard

[NotBigzo]

Began following the team when I was 9. My family always gave me crap for liking the Pats and Tom Brady. They called me a "bandwagoner". Just because they were the first team I was exposed to (becasuse of the buzz around Brady taking Beldsoe's spot) doesn't make me a bandwagoner.

So one day, I got sick of it. It was time to pick a new, organic team to follow. I was playing Madden on the PS2 when I cam across a striped team, Carson Palmer, Rudi Johnson, and Chad Johnson.

I thought to myself: "this is a good team" Will probably perform really well and make the super Bowl in a few years.

Well...shit.
