With the Pat’s out and four teams left, who would Pats fans pick to win the Superbowl?

Jets: Absolutely not. No way can Pats fans root for a conference rival. And I even would go as far to say no way should a Pats fan root for any New York team. We should be in the AFC Championship, not them. They were just a wildcard team, we won the division. Not to speak for anyone but myself, but I HATE the Jets. Besides they have a rookie quarterback who’s bound to choke eventually.

Vikings: Some people love Brett Farve. I do not. I hated him last year (see above) when he played for the Jets and helped knock us out of playoffs. And now, I just wish he would retire already. I was pretty annoyed this summer when he was, wasn’t, was, wasn’t retiring. Then, the stunt he pulled about a month ago when Coach Childress wanted to take Brett out of the game to prevent injury (he is an old man, after-all) when the Vikings had already clinched their division, and Farve flat out refused, made me like him even less. I don’t care how old you are, you listen to your coach. If anyone pulled that with Belichick they’d be off the team. For any Pat’s fans that do like Brett, this could still be a good SuperBowl pick. They’re a team very few people thought would make it this far, and at least aren’t a direct rival to the Pats.

Colts: Rooting for the Colts might be worse than rooting for the Jets. I can’t tell. Peyton Manning is Brady’s biggest all-time rival, and I’ll never forget in 2007 when the Colts knocked us out of the AFC Championship. These memories stay alive forever. However, I hate to admit it, but I think the Colts might just be the team that wins it. Not saying that’s what any Pats fan wants, but it’s very probable. At least they didn’t get our perfect season. And, I have to say that despite hatred for the older Manning (I have hatred for both) I do respect him as a quarterback. He’s damn good. And, at least the guy has some pretty funny commercials, you’ve got to admit.

Saints: The Saints are my pick to win the Superbowl, or at least to win the NFC so I can have someone to root for in the Superbowl. I’m not sure how I would ever pick a lesser of the three evils above. The Saints (13-3) have been a great team all year despite a little uprooting in the last couple games of the season. But their dominance of Arizona (45-14) last week proved they are still hot as ever. Drew Brees is awesome, and  the best part, I have no hard feelings towards him. Yes, the Saints trounced us this season, but we just weren’t a good team, especially that game. Our performance was embarrassing. So, here’s to rooting for the team Pats fans have no bad blood with. Besides, a place like New Orleans could use something like this, after having their city wiped out just a few years ago.
