A little conflicted...

[bigjohn]

Ok I'm obviously pulling for the Panthers. They are my team, and I pretty much have never had a "second" team. But dangit now I sort of have a couple of them.

One of my former basketball players (I'm a high school coach) is a rookie with the Giants now.  I'm admittedly pulling for him to have a good game. Still a strong Panthers win, but I want him to play well. Great, great kid.

Also I went to high school with Brandon Beane so I want to see the Bills do well also.

But yeah, Go Panthers!  Hope we win by 30 but BJ Hill has 10 tackles.

Anyone else ever have those conflicted types of feelings?  What's the solution?  Drink more?

Eh you can't control any of it just let what happens happen and enjoy the game

[Jeremy Igo]

[Kevin Greene]

Conflicted yes.

Should I have that 6th beer by the 4th quarter?

Fully expected this to be a thread about Eric Reid

I have teams I like and teams I don't like, but I never really find myself "conflicted" when it comes to the Panthers.

The only time I could really say I wavered was when the Patriots played the Falcons. That was more a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing though.

Sorry. Hope BJ Hill has 10 missed tackles.

    IMO, it is perfectly fine to root for individuals on opposing teams when this situation arises.

 

    I had a High School buddy who wound up winning an Olympic Gold. When he came to town, he got booed just like everyone else. But after the game? He was still a buddy. 

 

    Bros before foes.

Im so conflicted my favorite team the panthers had to beat up on some other team I randomly have ties too.
