SkinsFTW Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I lived in and went to high school in Denver during the "Orange Crush" years back in the 70s (when Tom Jackson was a linebacker, not the straight guy for Boomer Berman). Damn dude, you must have had a hard time in high school then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santanamoss89 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I don't want Pitt to win because of Champ. I want Pitt to win because Bettis deserves to win a Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco LB 52 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Back in the 1980s, Joe Gibbs and Dan Reeves used to have a working relationship where they met every offseason with their respective coaching staffs to compare notes on common opponents. Broncos and Redskins = friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Put it this way. Broncos fans hate the Redskins, we totally took it to them in January '88, the '87 SB season with Doug Williams playing in the playoffs for the Injured Jay Schroeder. They hate us. So in turn I have no reason to be for them. Plus we have a history with the Steelers doing us favors. They kept Dallas from winning the SB's in the late '70's.. If Dallas had won those they would be the all time SB franchise with 6 or 7, but as of now they are tied with SF with 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I alwasy route against the Denver Broncos. Ever since they got into Super Bowl XII with the no call fumble that the Raiders would've returned for a touchdown. The Raiders are my 2nd favorite team. This was the game that changed the ruling where if the football was tipped by an offensive player it would be a no catch if caught by another offensive player.

So in turn I have no reason to be for them. It's the other way around. You guys started this thread. I am glad my team bothers you guys so much. Denver is obviously doing something right to tick you off. As for XXII, Bronco fans don't care anymore. The Vince Lombardi Trophies in 97 and 98 wiped away all the past defeats. Plus, there's no shame in being the #2 team in the NFL. Regardless of what happened in San Diego in 98, I am proud of the 1987 AFC Champion Broncos. Despite the fact Denver had your 1st round pick in 2006, I actually rooted for Washington this season. One of my biggest pet peeves is when some airhead ********** says Joe Gibbs is washed up. That makes my blood boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut blocking is legal from the high school ranks to the pros. It is part of football. It has been since the early days of the game. Nothing more pathetic than watching some pansy fan like yourself complain about a team being too violent in a sport that requires it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sullivan Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Broncos have encouraged holding and illegal blocking tactics for years figuring they can get away with it most of the time without the officials seeing anything. They have also been known to push the rules to the limit in pursuit of winning games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wysknz1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Champ and Portis aside, I HATE DENVER, I live 100 miles from there and I get so sick of the Broncos. And besides, the Denver media does NOT like the Skins. Never has anything even remotely good to say about them. ___________________________________________ Favorite team: Redskins Second favorite team: whoever is playing the Broncos _________________________________________ Jovan Bouknight WR U of Wyoming 6'1" 191 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well, I was pulling for Denver until I was given a direct order here to root against Denver. :doh: I don't care who wins. I want to see a good football game and whoever wins their fanbase deserves it and I hope wins it all. They're both hardcore fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattskins83 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I dont like either team, but theres is NO WAY I could ever root for the Steelers. I used to go to WVU, and I just have way to many friends who are Steeler fans, and their just about as bad as Eages fans. Not to mention how can anyone possibly Big Ben, what a tool!!!

The Sisko Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have hated the Donkeys ever since they let Smellway come into the league on his terms. Too bad that loser managed to get a couple of Super Bowl rings. The dirty play only served to reinforce my hatred of them. They're just a hair above the Cowpukes in my book. Here's hoping the Bus runs over them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9_to_42_td Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Broncos are my 2nd favorite team, I AM rooting for them. There is no such thing as a 2nd favorite team. Either you are a core Redskin fan or you aren't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Kao Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 My Father taught me that part of being a supporter of area teams from Washington & Baltimore (except the Ravens) is that we hate the Denver Bronco's forever due to John Elway.

DCNightHawk Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Im rooting against them. Go steelers. Its 24-3 at the half and I want the Bus to end his career with a Superbowl ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilclarke Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 There are many reasons I'm pulling so hard for the Steelers... First, I hate Tom Jackson. Just hate that "Redskin bashing" *******. Just for the Steelers to win so he shuts his damn pie hole would be worth it for me. But, then throw in Chump Baily & Mike Shannahan & it makes it even easier to hate the Broncos. Plus, I'm pulling hard for Bill Cowher since he's an NC State alum too. Go Steelers! And I'll be pulling like hell for the Seahawks to beat the Panthers later today. That's all I've heard this week in NC is Panthers this, Panthers that.... Panthers fans here are crawling out from behind every rock now. Sick of it. Go HAWKS! :panthersu :broncosuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballGuy2677 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 To be honest' date=' I've never quite figured out why I'm supposed to hate Champ.[/quote']Exactly...If I was a Star Cornerback for my franchise and the ownership/coaches/team chemistry all ****ed and i wanted a new contract and they wouldnt give it to me. I'd wanna be traded too... Why are we suppose to hate him? Besides, we got the better end of the deal obviously...we just got a running back whos great all around, is our single season rushing leader, and has a realistic and best chance in the league to break Emmit Smiths NFL Rushing record. Plus he is our team leader and fun guy in the club house to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
