Sweet Revenge!!!

I'm a die-hard Patriots fan and I was watching the Jets-Bengals game yesterday. Initially, I was rooting for the Bengals, naturally, being a Patriots fan, I do not like Jets, no matter what. But then, I was thinking and suddenly started rooting for the Jets. Yes, a Patriots fan rooting for Jets!!!

I was thinking of what happened last 2 weeks and how Jets got into the playoffs. Of course, all the Jets fans, most of them obnoxious in any way you cut, would tell you Jets beat Colts and Bengals legitimately. Sure.. yeah, sure. Then I was thinking because of the way both Colts and Bengals played the Jets during the regular season, think of all the fans of those teams that couldn't make it into the playoffs. I know that feeling a few years ago, when Mr. Favre and the Packers just packed it in Vs the Jets and Pats lost a chance into the playoffs. Again, its no one's fault and those teams do have a right to do whatever they want to do. But think of it morally. Think of the way Colts acted this season. Very clearly, they wanted to eliminate the teams like the Steelers. Very clearly they were manipulating the playoff spots as much as they can. If you really want your players to be healthy, why play them at all? why play them into 3rd quarter? Did you see what happened to Wes? A non contact injury on his first play (by the way, this could happen in practice as well - so, can't blame the coaches for that). what if Payton Manning is lost for the rest of the season on his first play? so, just simply, its not about health. Its abou getting as many records as Colts can get and then manipulate the playoff spots to their best possibility.

with that popped in my mind, I started rooting for the Jets. Didn't the Bengals help them get in? Yes, now, that would be sweet revenge.

Being a Pats fan, I do want them to see win over the Ravnes today. But even otherwise, if I'm a neutral fan of football for this game, I still want Pats to win. why? I want to see the Jets go to the Colts and beat them. Imagine that!! Both Colts and Bengals who let the Jets win in the so called non-important games, lose to the same Jets in the most-important playoff games.

Sweet Revenge!! Imagine the joy of all the football fans whose teams lost the playoff spots due to these health-conscious teams!!! Awesome outcome!! Don't we all love that?!!

I'm rooting for the Pats this afternoon anyways. But if you don't belong to either of Pats or Ravens fan base, you should root for the Pats to win and next week, root for the Jet to win!!

I know, I will.

Sweet Revenge!!!
