I'm going to have to be rooting for the Patriots to win tomorrow. Is it ok to just root for the Ravens to lose?

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
Yes, whenever two teams you hate are playing each other, you always root for one to lose...but never for the other to win, if that makes any sense. Since theOriginally posted by DHSF

, and 
play each other twice each season, we constantly have to pick who we want to lose more for each of those games...but that does NOT mean that I am rooting for the other team. For example, I want the to lose tomorrow. But I will not be singing the praises of the tomorrow, because that is just messed up. It may not sound all that logical, but that is how I think about it anyway. Similarly, I want the to lose tomorrow, but I will not be saying "hip hip hooray" about Belichick, Brady, Moss, and all of those other cheating Asterisks.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus. -

I don't hate the Patriots as much as the Rats. Not even close.Comment

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
The game is irrelevant to me and I don't really care who wins or loses. The Steelers need to take care of business (if they can't, then they won't be in the playoffs, it's up to them) and not count on other teams to do their work for them. As far as I can tell it's just another game on the NFL schedule and should be an enjoyable game to watch.

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
I agree with the OP's sentiment--it doesn't feel good to root for one of these two particular (hated) teams. Truth be told, now that the situation is posted to me: I think I prefer the Ravens, even though it'd help us a lot more as we all know.
It just galls me, that that f-n team, likely stole (i.e. cheated) one, possibly two SB appearances from us. We learn from youth, that "cheaters never prosper", yet these guys have thrived and made their legacy on the back of cheating.I wasn't hired for my disposition.Comment

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
Well, the Ravens made the Cheatriots* defense look like a sieve on that first drive. Flacco to Mason 6X for about 70 yards.
Tough for Belicheat to compete without the video tape or stolen signals.
Better hope for a shootout.

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
Watching the commercials on CBS and they are showing a bit of football between clusters of commercials. Anyway, the Ravens put out a bunch of roughage after the whistle and seem to never get flagged for it. It's way too much roughage way late after the whistle.

Re: I'm sick to my stomach
Now that the cheats* are on the brink of pulling it off, I want them to win. (No matter how much I don't respect them, I can't pass up help for our Steelers. Go you f-n cheaters*! Seal the deal!)I wasn't hired for my disposition.Comment
