1. Who's your team? (NFL or other sport/league)
Patriots, Univ of Michigan, Liverpool, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics
2. Favorite sports memoryViewing: SB XLIX
The Patriots hadn't won in ten years and in that time had lost twice to the NYG (they outplayed and out-coached us) and had their legacy tarnished by public perception of Spygate (every SINGLE team in NFL did the same thing the Pats did, Belichick just stuck it in Goodell's face so the hammer came down) and Deflategate (utter complete bullshit that a high school junior physics class could demonstrate)
The Seahawks just need ONE **** YARD and have Marshawn (who is basically a Stegosaurus) in the backfield. Belichick lets the clock run so there is no chance to comeback if Seattle scores... BUT puts pressure on Seattle to throw it so they can get third and fourth down shots at it
Malcolm picks it.
Sheer Euphoria. Game won, Championship won, Legacy saved, Dynasty II begins.
Playing:Taking my SEAL platoon (only one of whom had EVER played football before) and defeating The Air Force European Command Champions 14-7 in 1994. I was coach and QB.
3. Least favorite team
Tough one, it varies.
I hate the Ravens, but really like Lamar.
I hated the Colts, but like and respect Peyton.
I have ALWAYS hated the Steelers, but have to give it up to Tomlin.
I have hated the Dolphins since childhood, but its kinda hard because they're so funny.
I hate the Jets, but its a bit like kicking a blind three-legged dog.
I should hate the Bills, but c'mon... we ALL want to see them finally do it right?
I hate the Chiefs. I hate Mahommes. I hate Kelsey. F them.
4. Worst sports memoryNO New England fan should EVER complain. We are the Kardashians of fandom. Even our worst defeats now just bear stark relief to the ultimate triumphs which eventually poured in.
That said, I once threw a pick on the last play of a game to lose it.
Final play, I called a flag route to my Z receiver that I KNEW would open up (it did), eye faked the safety to keep him from crossing over, went to plant my foot for the throw and it slipped in mud, pass was a duck, picked off, game over.
... then my girlfriend who was in attendance broke up with me after the game.
I was 15.
