America’s Team; Pointless Debate
Over at ESPN.com today they are debating who “America’s Team is. Before I get a quote from each of the writers, I will say that I don’t think there is a such thing. It’s a dumb debate. So, now that we know I am totally unbiased, let’s get started!
Love them or hate them, the Cowboys are still the most polarizing franchise in the NFL.
Well, this is only true because ESPN decides to shove it down our throats.
But in an age of billion-dollar stadiums and insulated leadership, the Packers look more like America than any NFL team.
Just because it doesn’t “look” like they are a corporate monster doesn’t mean anything to the debate. I guess I don’t get what we are debating. Who, outside of Wisconsin, really roots for the Packers. Who really cares that much outside of the Wisconsin and Illinois?
Everyone loves a winner, and Pittsburgh does it in a classy and respectful manner. So what’s not to like, America?
Respectful…just like James Harrison, who decide to start throwing punches in the Super Bowl last year for no reason. Just saying!
The New England Patriots, with three Super Bowl victories and four AFC titles, have been dominant for the past nine years. Tom Brady is the embodiment of the All-American quarterback, a dashing leader who flings touchdowns and makes the ladies swoon.
“America’s Team, cheating it’s way to victory!” Has a nice ring to it eh? (Come on that was too easy.)
On second thought why did I give this article so much press? This has got to be one of the more pointless debates ever. Nobody even knows what America’s Team means. I think the Lions represent America best. We, as a country, hit rock bottom, and are now climbing our way out of the hole. Perfect!
