Dealing w/ co-workers...Even after a playoff win.

[El Guapo]

Gotta love Texas.. I mean, I love the place but when it comes to football they love to hate.

Immediately one guy comes in and says, "one word, Touchback." Obviously referring to how champ got tackled and the ball thrown into the endzone. ::) Another explains that he was in Denver this weekend helping his son move, and that denver fans are the worst (I happily rebuttled and threw the fact that cowboys fans are wine and cheese fans.)The guys at my office are saying how they'd love to see the two teams that have to win 3 road playoff games go to the Super Bowl (Pitt & Carolina).ugh!~


Welcome to being a Broncos fan away from Broncos country. Ive dealt with these ****heads my whole life. :nutkick

tell them two words

"tuck rule"

[Jetmeck]

I live in Kansas City so think of your situation multiplied by ten for years and years and years. I try to reason with them but like some of the "on-board" Chef fans here, logic and common sense or even facts don't make a dent in these guys. My two words for the hard headed amongst them is F... off.....................

[El Guapo]

yeah, that definitely sucks too.


I brush it off, I mean.. I love being the underdog. I hope we're perceived that way this weekend too. :punched:

[Elway 4 Life]

I live a little further south than dallas next to the largest military base in the world. I had someone rooting for the other team all year. People from all over the country here. Thanksgiving weekend was worse than most, and I would have to agree if Dallas loses the fans put up more excuses than Manning does after a loss.

[Rock Chalk]

I got them bitches in my office rootin for the Broncos.

You guys just aren't hardcore fans if you cant convert.

[El Guapo]

I got them b****es in my office rootin for the Broncos.

You guys just aren't hardcore fans if you cant convert.


Ive got them watching the Broncos extra close, but just so they can come in and rag on me the next day. there is no way in hell im converting them, I wouldnt want them to be Broncos fans anyhow...:)

[jmz313]

yeah, every monday during the season for me it's.

Co worker walks in spouting: You know they can't beat the (next weeks opponent)

I just heard we can't beat the steelers beacause (just like he said about the Pats) no one wants to play them, they're so hot right now.

I hear 'ya. I get crap at work too, but all in fun since nobody here is really a football fan.

My know-it-all friend hasn't said a word to me in over a week, think he will be in hiding until the Cowboys win a game next year. Same friend that said I should sell the tickets to the Pat's game I just got back from... Tard.

What part of big D are you in? I live in Hurst, work in Arlington.

[Evenrude]

My closest co-worker (hit desk is about 5 feet from mine) is a lifelong Steeler fan. If we don't come to blows this week it will be a miracle.

[defenseman]

Come to blows over a Football game? C'mon, you can't be for real? I can think of numerous things you could be doing with that sort of pent of violent energy vice getting into fisticuffs with your buddy....dman

[Phobia]

I've always found that if I'm a decent guy when my team wins my co-workers cut me a break when they lose. But if I'm a prick when my team wins my co-workers show no mercy when my team loses.

I'm not actually calling anybody a prick here. It's just something to think about.

I guess I should have said that I usually dont say a word, unless enticed or I hear another conversation going on thats bashing my team. The only time I'll truly talk is after we get THE trophy. ;)

Thats the way I've always approached it. Although some times its very tough being around alot of raiduh fanz, you want to get in there face , but Im usually out numbered and just let my team do the talking by kickn butt. I have converted alot of new football fans to Bronco fans, which is really cool. Which means there's more good guys around. :thumbsup:

[Sassy]

I just heard we can't beat the steelers beacause (just like he said about the Pats) no one wants to play them, they're so hot right now.
Undefeated at home...just knocked off the Pats....14 wins...and we're at home!

I tell ya...no respect...you could say that same sentence with Broncos replacing Steelers...

Quoted for truth

[Crushaholic]

It's not a big problem in the office, because nobody else is really a pro football fan. Therefore, they don't follow the Chiefs or anybody else. The fun comes when I'm in a bar and some drunk Chiefs fan decides to say something. Sometimes, it's good natured ribbing. Of course, nowadays they don't have anything to say since their team is not playing anymore...

Could be worse mate, I live in a country where I don't know know any other football fans, bar other UK fans on the net! I wore my jersey to college today and got so many funny looks it was unreal.

[Drek]

My closest co-worker (hit desk is about 5 feet from mine) is a lifelong Steeler fan. If we don't come to blows this week it will be a miracle. Lifelong fan? Why the static then? I respect fellow die hard fans, even for opposing teams. Its the bandwagoners/crybabies/historically retarded "fans" that piss me off.

I live in Maine, so damn far north that we've got nothing but sports. I've argued the PI and touchback pissing and moaning since Saturday evening, but at least most of the people I talk with are real fans and know that they lost for a lot more than just officiating.

LOL Props for representing in the UK, man.

[Garcia Bronco]

Here are some tips to dealing with co-workers.

-A man can't function right without his car. People may say driving is a prviledge....but you have to have a car. Take 4 small pebbles insert one in each of his tire nozzles...do this early in the day so all 4 tires are good flat by quiting time. Make that ****er call triple A.

-A man gets real jealous when his wife receives flowers from unknown people. Works best with a note that says...thanks for the goodtime. Try to schedule deliver after said employee went on vacation or business trip. Better yet..send then to him after the buisness trip.

-It's really frustrating when heterosexual folks receiver homeosexual mail....you made need pure citric acid to clean your eyes after you do this but it could be worth it to sign up some folks for some terrible stuff. Use this only in an emergency.

-gather some facts....get his power disconnected. This is a good one. Gather the correct information. Call up the power company and have him shut down. Works with any utility.

-steal his palm/PDA...wanna see a grown man cry? Take his PDA and toss it.

This is just the tip of the iceberg...there are many ways to torment a non-Bronco believer...the important thing...is to choose the one that suits you best.

[horsepower]

i'm from uk to re-presenting east london.

a few of my mates are broncs fans,so theres a few of us.

the broncos came popular through elway, "the drive" game back in 86, and the fact they seemed to be in all the superbowls in the late 80's .

so a well known team for us uk fans to support......

[horsepower]

we will have to have a night on the ale for a game next season matey


where did you get the sig and whose the girl!!!!

[Odysseus]

I got them b****es in my office rootin for the Broncos.

You guys just aren't hardcore fans if you cant convert.

^5 I got everybody jumping on the Broncos bandwagon. There are a whole lotta Steeler fans that are going to crying in their near beer. Wait until our punter gets a hold of them. He's gonna murderlize them.

[StevetheBronco]

My older brother is a life long steelers fan and right after the colts game he called me yelling "We are coming to Mile High to blow you guys out of the stadium". I reminded him when was the last time Denver got blown out in a playoff game at home? He claims that this will be payback for the 98 AFC championship game Denver won in Pittsburgh. He called me again yesterday talking more smack until I could not take in anymore and started talking smack back to him. You're lucky just dealing with co-workers. I am dealing with my older brother.


STB

[British Bronco]

we will have to have a night on the ale for a game next season matey

Aye, sounds like a plan!

[F**kOakland]

Went in to work thinking "not gonna say anything, don't wanna jynx it"


Then all this ancient mythology about when the blond bomber did this...and that. HOW THE STEELERS WERE TO RISE AGAIN!, WE KILLED THE COLTS AND the COLTS were THE BEST TEAM IN FOOTBALL!!! I coundn't help myself. This guy responds to " well plummer is not going to stand there and let you sack him like peyton"...with....." the steelers are better when they flush out the quarterback" he is so caught up in the black and gold...he thinks that pittsburgh has better corners and linebackers. I need some help cause I think I'm gonna go insane. He has become the most annoying guy I know ........in just two days. Never liked him but now ......I think I will have to get him fired, or better yet put him in a bronco jersey if they win. If I have ever wanted the Broncos to win one to shut someone up this is it.

God I hate the steelers and their fans...NO NO NO I'm sure some of them are great people.
GO BRONCOS

[broncosteven]

I got a text message during the Bronco Pats game about the "bad" call on Pass interferrence with a work buddie. I didn't respond, I did text him when Grossman started o-fer what ever he was, since we live in Chi-town & he is a DUH Bears fan. We text messaged all game mostly consoling him since DUH bears were down. After the game I left him a nice VM about sorry his team lost & knowing how bad it feels to have your team lose etc...

Next day at work he is all about the Denverr win being cheap & Pitt is winning the SB etc... THe Gloves are off Boyeee!

[BMF Bronco]

Here's a conversation I just had with a buddy after I sent him my pics of the game (he's a viqueens fan btw)...

Him: Nice pictures, terrible result of the game!! 5 to's guess you have to get a little lucky huh!!!

Me: Yeah, Champ sure got lucky by intercepting that ball, and Sauerbrun got lucky by timing that perfectly and hitting the ball with his helmet, and Lynch sure got lucky on the late interception, and the special teams got lucky when the punt returner forgot how to catch, and I guess we got lucky by knocking the ball out of the running back’s hands when they were close to scoring. Yeah, it sure is great to have luck on our side…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

[Vegas_Bronco]

I modified this for all those having trouble at work this week >>>>

GAME: SHOW YOU BLEED ORANGE AND BLUE THIS WEEK!!!
How many points can you score in your office this week as a TRUE BRONCOS FAN? Talley them up, share your stories and we'll crown a winner.

ONE POINT:
1) Run one lap around the office at top speed saying you were lucky this weekend! It will shut all of them up!
2) Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle - Patriots Suck! (at least one other 'non-Broncos Fan' must be in the toilet at the time).
3) Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
4) Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk about the Broncos right now. Bye."
5) To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace - When they ask, say you learned it from Tom Brady.
6) When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!" And when they ask why, tell them it's because your a Broncos fan.
7) Walk sideways to the photocopier wearing your Broncos gear.
8) While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors opens with your gear.

THREE-POINTS:
1) Say to your bosses boss (or the highest person you have access to), "I like your style - you should grow a beard like Plummer" and shoot him with double-barreled fingers.
2) Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to audible it". When the ask, "what?" - reply with, "I am the 12th man" while beating your chest (with Broncos gear).
3) Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice) only refer to yourself as a Broncos Fan.
4) Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'co-worker' within sight) and tell them you forgot your Broncos Mug.
5) Shout random numbers while someone is counting - tell them you learned how to audible this weekend from Jake Plummer.

FIVE POINTS:
1) At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself) - then yell "ITS PLAYOFF TIME BABY!!!" (wearing, of course, your Broncos gear).
2) Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times - yell at them: "LIghts OUt Steeler Fans!".
3) For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Jake".
4) Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two before watching game film".
5) Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now" while taking off your Broncos hat.
6) While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator with a note "Raiders (or favorite team) suck!".
7) In a colleague's diary, write in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:time w:st="on" Minute="0" Hour="10">10am</st1:time>: "See how I look in orange and blue tights".
8) Paste Broncos stickers, etc, on your keyboard. Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, "You wanna trade?"
9) Come to work in army fatigues with orange and blue face paint and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it".
10) Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk wearing Broncos gear.
11) Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell him he's won a lunch for four at the Mile High Magical Restaurant at Invesco Field. Make certificateds and encourage him to go.
12) Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call. Tell them you met a Broncos Cheerleader over the weekend and tickled her with your accent.
13) Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act like you knew it was there or genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
14) Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and orange or blue biscuits, smash each biscuit with your fist and yell 'GO BRONCOS' before handing it to them.
15) During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door - tell them your checking the gametime countdown clock.
16) Arrange Bronco play figures or Football cards on the table to represent each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.

And if that wasn't enough for you...

1) At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses, a Broncos hat on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2) Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the salary cap next year, we are going to have to let one of you go. That, is why Denver must win the SB this year!"
3) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want some Bronco Spirit with that.
4) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "W'IN' with a broncos logo or sticker.,
5) Put decaf in the coffee maker for a week. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
7) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance to THE PLAN."
8) Don't use any punctuation for the week.
9) As often as possible, skip rather than walk wearing, of course, your Broncos gear.
10) Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer and then wink at them (wearing your Broncos gear).
11) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go - because there is only X,XXX Minutes until THE STEELERS GAME."
12) Whisper silently, "I know the Broncos can do it" continually while sitting next to a co-worker. Show some expression when whispering.
14) Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day and tell them your getting ready for the BIG GAME this weekend.
15) Days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're focusing on a win this weekend.
16) When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won! 2nd time this week!!!" Grab your Broncos shirt or hat and kiss it twice and point to the sky.
17) When leaving work, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "Nah, nah, nah, nah...Hey, hey, goooood-byyyyyye!"
18) Choose the most irritating person in a meeting & repeat every word they say in a high pitched voice whilst opening & closing the fingers of your right hand as if operating a glove puppet. Tell them that it is your Kubiak doll.

Come to blows over a Football game? C'mon, you can't be for real? I can think of numerous things you could be doing with that sort of pent of violent energy vice getting into fisticuffs with your buddy....dman

Oh, I was exaggerating... we are very good friends....but the verbal barbs have already begun. :~ohyah!:
