Pretty simple actually. You root for DT unless he's playing against the Rams. Casual fans usually start pulling for their favorite players team eventually. I don't know how invested you are in the Rams now, but hopefully you don't follow suit.


Due to TV restrictions I pretty much follow the national TV games at this time and I likely watch the Broncos more than Rams. Hopefully that changes soon because the Rams will likely get much much better by just drafting a QB in the draft. If they take Manziel, I'm sold! :)

Oh I'm sure the Rams fanbase would double if that happens.

any avatar can be one that you have forever, the stability needs to be with the poster not the avatar

you're the one who controls when to change it, not the image

just pick something and don't change it for x amount of time, if its long enough you will either stop thinking about it or it will become so ingrained with your poster identity that it would be difficult to change it

but then again, i don't think i'm invested enough in basketball to bother changing teams as this point - if anything i'll just fall out of following basketball all together and just not have team

*probably closer to happening than you think

Im going to ask because I have always wondered. How did you get to posting on this board? You seem like you watch little to no basketball.

Why's that? I've also known you to be a Blair Walsh loving Viking fan and nothing more.

My laptop is a macbook pro and i have an iPhone, but i opted to buy an Asus T100 because it came with a keyboard and a free copy of Microsoft office for 350.
I have no alliances to any company. I buy whats more convenient for my needs.

Didn't they draft a QB a few years a go and paid him a lot of money? What happened to him?
