Once Dallas is "out of the picture" (which unfortunately is again the condition), I instantly kick into "who I want to lose" the most in the playoffs.
That's all it is to me at that point. There's no other reason for watching, as I simply cannot bring myself to root for, like, feel good about, or want any other team to win. THAT wiring is not in my head.
For instance, this year...................the only reason I watch the playoffs is watch 'em fall one-by-one. Once the Eagles are again eliminated, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. What I do, starting with the wild-card round, is make my list of who I dislike the most, and start counting backwards toward the SB.
This year, I enjoyed San Diego losing. Got no use for Atlanta either. Miami losing was fun too, as they're major impostors. I would've enjoyed the Giant loss more, but they lost to the Eagles. And again, the farther the Eagles go and ultimately lose,the sweeter it is.
I also can't "get on board" any "feel goody-goody" stories, Kurt Warner or no Kurt Warner, Arizona or no Arizona. THAT'S the buzz this year, and a lot of folks are like "How can you NOT just love this story and adore Warner?"
Sorry, just can't do it. I'm gonna' watch the SB only to enjoy a Steeler loss, if that happens. But I STILL won't give the Cardinals any cred or props if they win. In my life and mind, they will simply be the latest parity team who "didn't want to lose the most", and the season in general was a waste, one to be forgotten.
It's either Dallas or NOTHING as far as I'm concerned...................
