My one buddy thinks that every player on their practice squad and 3rd string is a "beast" just because he knows their name.
I see a lot of people around here overreact to every Ben incompletion on Sundays. You'd laugh if I named QBs that have had outcries to be starting over Ben by way too many people.
There are the guys that think they're personally the most badass human being alive because they root for a certain football team. Those are the Steelers fans that make me laugh more than anyone else. Also this falls in line with the fans that think they're so cool because they root for a team that won championships before they were even alive.
There are some guys that are really reasonable too about the Steelers and other teams around the league.
It's like any fan base really. There are some idiots, some really great people, and a lot in between.
I know lots of the exact types you speak of and i live in, of all places...
Star Valley Frickin' Wyoming where we have nobody here in terms of population compared to other places.
Biggest bandwagon following of all time the Steelers have. If i go to any Sports place around here there are
Steeler jerseys and paraphenelia everywhere. Never seen a Bengal jersey anywhere, but maybe that will change
when we win the Superbowl, who knows.
To the OP, i agree with McC, i honestly don't like how these bastids try to place everyone into one category.
We have went through more shit than any other fan of any other team though IMHO.
Hopefully the Playoff bug is off our back this year or even better, the Lombardi trophy is in our hands.
