GALLOP: SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
Who Bronco Fans Should Obviously Root for This Weekend
Written by Minibronco
When a city changes their name to support their team, something’s obviously not right.
When a mayor issues official permission slips granting citizens to celebrate black-and-gold week, something’s definitely not right.
When yellow towels with three short words, all starting with “T”, can sell for as much as thirty dollars, you’d know something’s not right.
And heck, when that very towel flies at the top of the Seattle Space Needle, you know things are just getting out of hand.
It’s obvious, isn’t it?
The Bus is coming home.
But the other team has quirks of their own. Hell, they replaced their team flag with a big 12th man banner.
And you can at least wear a T-shirt. Can’t say the same for the towel.
It’s what happens when the nation’s two greatest football teams meet to play out one final battle—one final struggle—to declare who IS the greatest and who’s still “gone fishing” with Kenny Smith. It’s the nation’s official un-official holiday—Super Bowl Sunday. And it’s this weekend.
The question is, for Broncos fans, who should we root for this weekend?
Psychologically, there are many ways to look at this question. And if you haven’t decided yet, this might be the time to do so.
Even supporting a team as a result of the Broncos’ loss alone has two ways.
You can root for the Seattle Seahawks, because, after all, the Pittsburg Steelers did eliminate the Broncos and you want them to experience the bitter taste of coming so close and ending so far.
Or, you can root for the Pittsburg Steelers, and, if they win, you can brag about losing to the better team of the two. Hah, Panthers.
Or, you can actually look at which team is better, which team is carrying more momentum, which team performs well under pressure, which team has the better stats, and which team has more “talent.”
Nah.
Or, you can look at which team’s uniform colors are more vivacious. Or which team’s uniform colors are more likely to be worn by Chuck Norris. Or which team’s socks are longer. Who has the cooler helmet? What font their player names are in?
Which coach accumulates more spit during a game?
Or what about we look at who wants it more?
Hmmph. Isn’t it obvious?
We got robbed.
