Title: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team? Post by: XHotlanta on August 16, 2011, 03:23:19 EDT Assume a very talented, but *hated* Alabama / Florida player signs with the Titans / Colts / WhomEverIsYourFavProTeam ... do you (a) welcome the dude, yo teammate! (b) hope he never pans out is traded away (c) hope he gets injured [can't believe anyone would really want this] (d) pretend you don't know anything about it ... LA LA LA LA LA I can't heeeeear you!
I must admit, I have trouble "welcoming" a hated rival to "my" Pro team ... not very mature/adult of me, I know, but ... that's who I am. Feedback? Opinions? Confessions? :biggrin: Title: Re: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team? Post by: 101stDad on August 16, 2011, 03:35:19 EDT If you really are a fan of that team you have to hope they they are all pro, because that means the team you support will have a better chance to be successful.
I don't dislike anybody because of where they chose to go to school, except of course, Rat Bastard tiglets. :naughty: Title: Re: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team?

I just hope he doesn't give up football when he gets a taste of that massive paycut he'll take going from bammer to the NFL. :moon: :laugh: Title: Re: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team? Post by: ReVOLver on August 16, 2011, 01:54:55 EDT When they sign with my pro team, I root for them... i.e. Jevon Kearse, Eddie George, Randall Godfrey.
Start the countdown until Lyn joins the thread. :wave: Title: Re: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team? Post by: VinnieVOL on August 16, 2011, 02:19:54 EDT I'm all for Dallas getting the best players available, no matter where they come from.

It's amazing how a new uniform can change your attitude about a guy.
[covers Mic] Harry Doyle: He's still a dick. Title: Re: So, what's your reaction when a hated rival's player signs w/your fav Pro team? Post by: BanditVol on August 16, 2011, 05:55:51 EDT Usually not a factor. If the player was particularly disliked, like say, Chris Leake, then I am unhappy and wish they were not on my team. I will hold my nose and root for them though.
But it's only the most disliked players I feel that way about. For instance, in the case of Mark Ingrahm I would not bat an eye. He seems like a good guy even if he did play for bammer. |
