I understand...altough I am Yankees/Giants my brother is a die hard Mets/Jets fan (and a Yankee/Giants hater). He has already started working on this kids to be the same way. I keep telling him that he is setting them up for a life time of diappointment but at least he is true fan...win or lose. For me, the rivalries make it fun but I dont hate any team. I love the games too much. Although I must admit the Bengals are my least favorite team as they have cost me a few football pools. I cant ever seem to get their picks right.
