I do not know about you guys but, after the Steelers are eliminated, I start pulling for teams to lose because I am not an interested party in pulling for any other team in the NFL. From 8 being the team I am a hater of the least to number one which would be the team that I would least like to see holding the Lombardi trophy.
#8 -- Indianapolis Colts -- They are a franchise with only two Lombardis... It would take a decade of dominance under the "neck beard" for them to come close to the Steelers' total. Andrew Luck has a neck beard... In a period of time where QBs try to be all fake and polished, there is something refreshing in that. His mom doesn't like it. His girlfriend doesn't like it. Some billy goat tied to a railroad tie somewhere is probably jealous of it.
#7 -- Carolina Panthers -- Zero Super Bowl wins. That is one of the first things I look at... It is nice to have a team you are rooting for that is number one in some measure of historical success. I also like teams that play defense. Kuechly is a stud at LB and is fun to watch. I'm not the biggest fan of Cam Newton, but he is more tolerable at this point then some of the other QBs in the playoffs.
#6 Denver Broncos -- I cannot stand Manning but it is not like he is going to win enough Super Bowls to get the Broncos up near the Steelers number of six. After the first two, it definitely becomes the lesser of evils for me in rating the teams.
#5 Seattle Seahawks -- They have a chance to repeat which I do not like normally and it would set them up for a chance to three peat which would firmly rank them as the team I'd be pulling the most against next year... I do like their style of play as a positive... pound the rock, play tough defense and have the QB make just enough plays to win is the way I like watching the Steelers play.
#4 Baltimore Ravens -- It is definitely not for any other reason than I dislike the other teams more that they are here... The dislike I have for so many of their players is too numerous to list here but they are the lesser of the other evils left in my opinion.
#3 Green Bay Packers -- Green Bay has four Super Bowls... The most cocky R-E-L-A-Xed QB in the league strikes my nerves more than any other but he is undeniably great in my book and has a shot to win three- four more Super Bowls in his career that could take them to a number greater than the Steelers. This is the reason that I tip the cup of hater-ade more towards them than to the Rat-turds.
#2 Dallas Cowboys -- I really really dislike Jerry Jones. Add that to the sixth Lombardi that they could attain this year to tie the Steelers and they would be an easy number one choice if not for...
#1 New England Patriots -- When it gets into December and the media starts talking about how great the Patriots and Behlicheat and Brady are in the playoffs, my dog runs to her cage at the mention of anything New England related. How can anyone talk of how successful this organization is when all they did was cheat to get there. A cheating that was so severe that the NFL burned every single bit of evidence to keep it from coming out in the media. Once a cheater, always a cheater... I guarantee you that they are still cheating but it just hasn't been proven yet. I hate the *'s and the only thing I dislike more is the announcers that slurp them up.
How do you guys rank them up or do you just shut down and not care at all about the NFL after the Steelers are eliminated. I will say that my Fanduel teams will adjust it a little bit this year but I would rather lose my money there (albeit I bet small) than have the Patriots or Cowboys get to the Super Bowl.
