I cheer for any team playing an NFC East opponent. I cheered for Montana's 49ers.
But usually I just hope for a good close game.
500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.
My brothers and I were front runners as kids before we became a hard core Philadelphia fans and we rooted for the Packers during the Lombardi years.

I need to buy you a beer or three. :D
And on an unrelated note, I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never seen The Big Lebowski. Your avatar reminded me to finally sit down and enjoy it after so many recommendations from friends over the years
WELCOME TO THE PHILA. SPORTS FANISM. WIN, WE LOVE YA, LOSE,WE LOVE YA, BUT YOU'RE A DICK FOR LOSING.

The classic Philly sports fan mindset. It's not right or wrong - it is what it is. Both a shame and a mantle of pride. Love and hate in constant turmoil.

When they lost to the Joe Namath Jets, I blame Shula for that loss, he should have started Johnny U, from the get go!
Rooted for Bengals in 1982, only because I had money invested.
Rooted for the Eagles in all(both} the EAGLES appearances.
I picked to win the game. As weird as it was to root for the Giants, I had to root against the Pats (not the Ravens though). Excluding an Eagles or Peyton Super Bowl, Ive never rooted really hard for anyone.
The whole AFL versus the establishment NFL at the time. I was a huge fan of a lot of the old AFL teams. Oakland, Boston (mostly because all my relatives were from New England) and I hated the Chiefs and Hank Stram the way I hated Landry and the Cowturds.
John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.
