The better question is how do you perceive rival players in the NFL? What if they're stars for your favorite team?


Then I hope they become all pro, hall of famers. I hope Keanu Neal becomes the next Ed Reed (won't happen, just an example). I'm glad Julio is one of the two best WRs in the NFL right now.

I keep my Falcons fandom separate from my Georgia fandom. Of course I want to see guys like Gurley and AJ do well in the NFL, but if they play against the Falcons, I definitely want the Falcons defense to handle them.

Dez is healthy now though. It was fun while it lasted for Julio though I guess :/

Just the way it was when I was little. Grew up in the 70s and Saints were on TV more I reckon. Watched way more NFL.

I'm delusional for having an opinion? Sounds about right.

I wouldn't even think of doing a thread like this. It must affect you more than you are claiming.

Well if a random poster named Gary Busey on the rant says it then it must be right!

I root for them all to do well

In particular, PP and Mathieu. Mathieu had a great story and I feel like I can get by with rooting for the cards in the event they aren't playing the saints

Other than that guys like Landry and Beckham I just root for them to do well and make LSU look good

I generally root for LSU players in the NFL to do well. It is good exposure for the program.

OBJ's shite is starting to wear on me though.

Yeah OBJ is starting to get on my nerves. Yes, he's really good, but damn.

It absolutely killed me as a Bengals fan to see Tim Couch drafted by the Browns. I hate them infinitely more for wrecking his career.

I've grown a strong affinity for Arizona the last couple of seasons, I think I'm a full on fan after the Amazon Prime series

I root for them as long as they don't act like idiots. Hernandez is the obvious, but Brandon Spikes and Riley Cooper are on the list. Eff 'em if they act like jackasses.

Not attached at all. I never watch more than 2 NFL games a year.
