Rumorpile: Ford Explorer, Lincoln Crossover To Go Rear Drive

At my PT today, I got filled in on all the drama by my PT guy who had a Superbowl Party at his home. Was funny to hear about the halftime show. Heard that Idiot47 left in the 3rd quarter and told Roger Goodell that the Superbowl was a joke and he was going to bounce. Roger responded that apparently the Chiefs did too.

I am not a football fan, don't hate KC, but was pulling for the Eagles and glad they won. 

My interest in sportsball waxes and wanes over the years.  I've had an affinity for the Steelers, Dolphins, Browns and Broncos over the years, when I lived in those areas.  The Browns have been consistently horrible for so long, I still follow them to a degree but not at rabid fanboy level.  Didn't watch the Super Bowl last night, went to an IMAX showing of the new 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' documentary...great music from before my time catches my interest more than current sportsball...

I just remain loyal to my hometown professional teams, with the exception of football.  So, it would be the Lakers (NBA) and the Dodgers (MLB).  The absence of professional football in Los Angeles, coinciding with my absence, led me to abandon any childhood/teen loyalties, so I now consider myself a Seattle Seahawks fan.   In a Super Bowl like the recent one, where I have no opinion on the teams, I don't care who wins.  The same would have been true with Chicago and Indianapolis in 2007.  Who gives a rat's ass?  I was on the hillsides of the Golden Gate Bridge with thousands of others watching the QM2 sail under the bridge with a slim margin and into the bay for the first and only time thus far.  Most Super Bowl memories blend together over the years.  San Francisco on February 4, 2007 doesn't fade. As far as college football goes, I don't like UCLA, USC, or Cal Berkeley.  I would have not liked going to any of these schools.  The same would hold true for Notre Dame.  That would have been like pulling teeth. When it comes to Pac 10/12, I am a Huskies fan, for obvious reasons.  That has led me to dislike Oregon.  I have no loyalties from a past (tense) "Big 10" "experience," which was even more of a teeth puller. If you've moved a time or two, you'll run into locals who have never moved.  They may know nothing outside of a 125 mile radius.  You might encounter such a local who acts like the late Marge Schott or a Bubba (possibly under the umbrella of the "basket of deplorables") who asks you, out of the side of their mouth, of course, "How about dem (insert name of local team)?" It doesn't go over well that you don't give a shit because you have deep roots somewhere else and your loyalties won't be changing.  You should see the completely disoriented looks on their faces.

That Hate for the Chiefs is understandable, Idiot47 loves them and expects them to win, so that would make the 50.5% of Americans that did not vote for Idiot47 to hate the Chiefs. It is what it is.
