The older I get the sillier it seems to "hate" a team of high-priced free agents who come and go as the wind and dollars blow. The guy I hate on another team today could be on my team tomorrow. And, a lot of times, if we're being honest with ourselves, that hate is simply jealousy that we don't posses a certain player or the success another team has. So, I'm careful about using the word to describe my feeling toward a team.
Now, fans? Perhaps that's a different story. Pittsburgh and Cleveland are simply obnoxious. At least the Steeler fans have had success, which makes the Browns fans all the more annoying. And, as a Lions fan, I've personally witnessed the loud-mouthed drunken idiots that populate the Packers (present company excepted, of course) and Bears fanbases. It always makes me laugh when people on here say what great fans those teams have. Yeah, you think that because they're not in our division. If they were, you'd be singing a different tune. I'm sure Falcons and Rams fans think that Steeler fans are a buncha great guys to tailgate with. It's a strange dynamic.
