[Mafoofoo]

Favorite team(s): Sharks, A's, NY Jets

How.

 

[cholewhat]

How.

Didn't get into NFL early on, so never attached to Niners or Raiders. Friend of mine from NYC got me talkin' Jets football in no time, and it just always stuck. The question I always ask myself is not "how?", but "why?". Sharks, A's, Jets... I guess I just like being miserable in May, October, and January, respectively?

 

[Mafoofoo]

It's ok I'm a huge Bills fan so I get steamed everytime I see either the Patriots, Jets or Giants.

Being a Bills fan isn't a walk in the park either. How to describe it. It's like sticking a knife in your gut and twisting it. Then punching yourself in the face.

At least the Jest have made the playoffs

Well then, this Sunday is going to be very very interesting for us. Indeed.

At least there's the mutual hate for Brady and the Pats, and, hey, Fred Jackson is on my fantasy team... How did you wind up adopting the Sharks and the Bills?

Not that I need to explain coming close and failing to a Bills fan, but I don't know if I can stand the emotional toll of another conference final disaster from the Jets or Sharks... at least we're making it there, but only breaking my heart

 

[Mafoofoo]

I was in Buffalo for a few years for school (junior and half of senior year high school and two years of college) and that town is Bills crazy so initially it was an adapt or die thing but I guess one day I realized I actually loved the Bills more than the Niners. That was a sad yet awesome day.

As for the Sharks, no matter how much Sabres stuff there was nope. Stuck to teal and now that I'm back I'm no longer the only one in teal in a sea of buffaslugs. lol

Oh yeah this week is gonna be fun. Just worried about Fitz since the Jets have a pretty boss pass D.
