It's called front running, it ranks just below bandwagon and two team faggots. Post more, even though I totally intend to shit all over you in the future or try to ban bet you.

Front Running you say?
The art of cheering on your team when they are doing well, and shutting the fuck up and not being an annoying twat when you don't have anything nice to say?
Cool I'm totally a "Front Runner"
pray tell, what is the alternative to this? Other than bandwagoning or two teaming? The years my team goes 4-12 what valuable contributions should I be adding to this discussion? trash talking the patriots and talking about how much dick Tony Romo sucks? Waxing poetic about the glory days? Shooting hopium on the what if's "if we only had X we'd be a contender?" Cool, I guess i'll start "contributing" then

That's the spirit, so your team has never won a SB or is currently shit doesn't prevent you from mocking others...right Chanur?

You can talk shit about the rest of the Cowboys too outside of Romo. And you also have their retarded fanbase to provide entertainment.
Try it.
Feels good.

I have no issue with people following whatever teams they root for more closely during the good times.
I do have an issue with fans switching teams within a sport based upon success. I also have an issue with people talking draft/contract/scouting/free agency of "their" teams only during good times. If anyone wants to discuss longer term shit for whatever team they root for, that is an earned authority that comes with longevity of fandom, and with a requirement that demands you root for said team during the down years.
Ill use myself as an example. I live in Maine, so I call my teams the Red Sox / Patriots / Bruins / Celtics. But i dont really consider myself a baseball or hockey fan. I follow those sports if the teams do well, but I dont get to talk about their farm teams or contract situations three years from now (even if those teams win a championship), I havent earned that right.
I do get to talk about long term shit with the patriots, because I have spent my entire life being their fan , and a fan of the NFL in general. (Entire life = 29 years old. One of my first football memories is listening to my father lose his shit at Bledsoe in the 96 superbowl. I also understand how statistically unlikely it is that any team I root for, for the rest of my life, has anything close to the consistency of this Pats era).

I was comparing Marino to Rodgers, actually. I largely agree with your post though. But Gavin is also absolutely right about Moon. For whatever reason, QBs without a ring or two have a hard time getting the HOF nod. Rivers and Romo are both going to have that knock on them with some folks.

Oh, that's certainly more reasonable, but I don't think either of them is borderline. I don't think Rivers or Romo are likely going to make the HoF.

That nice piece of Boston masturbatory material is obviously not correct. Greenbay alone has 32 playoff wins and I am fairly certain a number of other teams on there have more as well, or the G-Men with 24. Hilariously, the Vikings have more all time losses than Brady has wins, with 28. Incidentally, the Steelers have the most all time playoff wins with 36.

If past experience is any indicator, Falcons fans are actually fairly reasonable. Its the Saints fans that are obnoxious in that corner of the country. The discourse with Falcons fans has been downright cordial this week on the Packer boards, in stark contrast to what it was like before all the Dallas homers vanished from the internet. Really looking forward to the NFC Championship game, win or lose.

Most likely mean Tom Brady has more playoff wins than those since he won the starting job?
Idk. Who cares. Rodgers is better.

Who is more likely then? Pittsburgh maybe? No way Green bay would, and while massatwoshits might be full of assholes, if they were going to riot, they'd have been doing it a lot in the past decade. We're just going to have to agree that you're wrong bro.
I'll point out that I'm not predicting a riot, just saying they are most likely. The only city, in fact, where it's a possibility.

I sort of get it but a super bowl run in a lot of cases requires so many things to break right for a team getting there and winning it is hard especially the way the league is setup now you just don't get the dynasties you once did.
I would love for rodgers to get another ring but frankly with how decimated our secondary is I am just shocked we managed to get into the championship game. Its basically rodgers scoring 30+ points in our last 5-6 games that has kept us in it. It has been a pretty strong MVP style second half of the season for him this year. And who knows our last superbowl win was on a year that was pretty shaky until we got hot at the end of the year.

There are always some evil derps around but I remember back in the 80s when we were happy to win a couple games a year as long as one of them was vs the bears. Even then we had our stadium sold out constantly. As a city thats stadium seats about 2/3 the entire population of the city proper and is sold out for the next 20 or so years even though a lot of the season viewing at the stadium is really cold and manage to do well enough to be competitive with franchises from markets 10 times our size says good things about our fan base.
If you ever want to see loyalty though check out pictures of green bay if they show them during the game this weekend. There will be basically nobody driving around or moving around during the game. My office closed down for one superbowl simply because we knew there would not be any customers that afternoon.

That's not it either, or the Niners would be on the chart.
It looks more like just some more dumb internet shit.
