Difference is cool. Not gainsaying difference. Just don't like EITHER side being obnoxious and sneering.

I didn't get the Trek reference, but you betcha I got the OTHER reference.(grin) I have not the opportunity to tailgate that I would like, alas. It's probably fortunate. Since I'm probably worse at a tailgate than watching football on TV, and none of you have ever seen me watch football on TV. I am a born-and-bred-dammit-was-living-there-during-The-Perfect-Season-Dolfan. (Aka Miami Dolphins, for those who need explanation.(grin)) I even remember my mother NOT objecting to people dancing on our CAR after that Super Bowl...

But my mother taught me to watch football on TV in the following manner: scream at both good and bad plays, pray loudly for referees' oft-failing sight to be restored, call down imprecations and express wishes for massive injuries to opposing players (to be miraculously healed after the game, of course--we didn't really want them HURT, but off the ##$%@ field), and so forth. This was another of the many things my ex found...inappropriate.(eye roll)

I look forward to finding a man who LIKES a woman who can watch football and scream at the TV just as passionately as a man. But I won't inflict my watching habits on my poor unsuspecting friends.(grin)

You mean "If I call him a @**!%^$ enough times he'll start making better plays" DOESN'T work? But...but...but...(grin)

Are we all going to CARE what teams are playing this year? I'm too superstitious during the regular season to check the standings so I don't know how Miami's doing.(grin) Mind you, being a good guest, I'm perfectly happy to root for whoever your personal favorite is, so long as they're not playing Miami. Except for Buffalo. I can NEVER root for the Bills. It would betray my Miami-fan heritage.(grin)

The future ex is a Dallas fan. Now, I know it's not THEIR fault...

But 'nuff said, right?(evil grin)
