Torn - Pitt v. Den
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 1:03 pm
Today the Steelers and Broncos square off and I'm genuinely torn on who to root for.
On the one hand, as a Patriots Fan, I would love for the Pats to face the Broncos in the next round. the broncos are awful and Tebow is even worse. So from that perspective, I need to root for the broncos.
On the other hand, there's Tebowmania. If I didn't live in the Denver area, this wouldn't be much of a factor. But I do and I am sick beyond words of hearing about Tim Tebow. I'm not hating on the guy, he seems like he is as genuinely aww shucks wholesome as the image he presents. He's got great leadership skills. But he's a terrible NFL quarterback and the hype machine around here is making me not want to watch football. I think the Denver area is finally starting to come around and wake up after that impotent 7-3 loss to KC, but it was tempered by 'winning' the division. Getting plastered at home on national television by the Steelers should drive home that point further. So as a Denver area citizen, I've got to root for the Steelers.
In truth, there's no way I'm rooting for the Steelers i this one. They're a dangerous team that I'd prefer not to face in the playoffs. I'll be rooting against the Steelers, but also against Tebow. Let's face it, the Broncos have zero chance in this game, so the stack of chips against Tim Tebow: NFL QB will continue to stack up. On the off chance the Broncos win, I can deal with a little more Tebow-mania for the chance to put the broncos in their place for the second time this season.
