ESPN.com: Camera confiscated after claims of Pats spying on Jets

[Melmart1]

My teams are Spurs, Cowboys and Rangers.

Mistresses: I don't have any in the NBA, really. For football, I would say Pats because my best friend is from Boston and is trying to get me to convert to all the Boston teams. Baseball is where I have the most mistresses. I like the Brewers, Padres, Twins and Red Sox. Yeah, I watch entirely too much baseball. But, the Rangers are my only true love.

According to the guy in the Yankees last place thread, you are a bandwagoner then.

yeah that's dumb.

IMO, you've got to have "your" teams, but you can always have a side team that you have an interest in for whatever reason.

I've been a Mavericks fan all my life, but since I also follow UofArkansas sports, I was a big Joe Johnson fan. I could never root for the Suns ever, but now that he's in Atlanta, I think it's fair for me to have some sort of rooting interest in the Hawks now that he's there. When Dallas and Atlanta play each other, I ALWAYS root for the Mavericks, and if Atlanta ever wins a le, I could never claim that as a le for "my" team.

Same with the Patriots being my #1 team, but since I live in Dallas I can't help but have some sort of rooting interest in the Cowboys as well. I don't think either of those things makes me a bandwagoner in any way.

but those are just my personal "fan ethics"

Did you ever file a FOIA request for Nolan Richardson's cell phone records?

Oliver Miller went to my high school in FTW. We had "Oliver Miller Day" my sop re year to celebrate him and the Suns losing to the Bulls in the Finals.

LOL, no but I DO know Thomas McAfee, the guy who did it to Houston Nutt. Friend of a friend. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw his name in the news story.

I think that takes some of the fun out of fandom. I play fantasy football and pick 'em, but I'd never ever root for another team. If I'm ever rooting for another team alongside the Colts (because I never pick against them even when it's sensible to do so), it's probably because I picked them or have money on them. I'll still wear the blue and white after Manning and friends are gone.

I can see that too. I dunno, hearing all-Cowboys all the time in Dallas has warped me in this way.

But I never really get mad about the Cowboys losing. After Romo fumbled the snap, I said " , that really sucks" and went on with my night.

Meanwhile, I am PISSED when the Patriots lose. After they lost to the Colts last season, I cussed out everybody in the house (especially anybody who rooted for the Colts) and went on an overnight drunk. I was depressed for a couple of weeks. I'll always be a Patriots fan, I still have old emails sent to fellow Pats fans ing about how horrible Pete Carroll was, and even a few unfortunate ones back in 01-02 talking about how the Pats were screwed without Bledsoe and how Brady was "an NFL Europe QB at best". That opinion changed rather quickly.

The euphoria released when the Colts won that game was hands down better than any drug I've ever done. Wish you could bottle that up and but it at Wallgreens. At halftime of that game, my roommate (Pats fan) goes to his room and says that the game is over, but drops some kind of ass kissing comment like "but the Colts can tie it up real quick with how great their offense is". I just shoot back a "Yeah well you too" look at him and go to 7-11 to get some for the 2nd half. I get back and after they tied it on the 2-pt conversion, I am screaming louder than a virgin after her first penetration and he comes out of his room to ask what's going on and takes one look at the score. All he says is "SON OF A !" and sits right back down to watch the game with me.

It was a prophetic postseason for our apartment because I predicted Colquitt's FG attempt after Ty Law picked Manning would bang off the uprights and it did.

Does anyone think Mangini will be suspended because he's known about this for so long? Will any past players from the SuperBowl squads come forward or is that an unwritten code among players?
