That house is a complex to behold here in Frisco.

Saying it now. If this crazy romo/cousins 3 way trade thing happens, I'm using my one time lifetime move and taking a new team. I love the skins to death, and we've done some stupid ass shit, but that would be the last straw.

That looks like a normal Saturday around the Allemand house...except for that actual house.

I always thought there was only 3 reasons to switch teams:
1. Your team moves
2. A new team moves closer to you
3. A family member plays for a team

Simmons wrote an article that had a section about that back in the day:

Code: Select all

Once you choose a team, you're stuck with that team for the rest of your life ... unless one of the following conditions applies:

Your team moves to another city. All bets are off when that happens. In fact, if you decided to turn off that sport entirely, nobody would blame you.

You grew up in a city that didn't field a team for a specific sport -- so you picked a random team -- and then either a.) your city landed a team, or b.) you moved to a city that fielded a team for that specific sport. For instance, one of my Connecticut buddies rooted for the Sixers during the Doctor J Era, then happened to be living in Orlando when the Magic came to town. Now he's a Magic fan. That's acceptable.

One of your immediate family members either plays professionally or takes a relevant management/coaching/front office position with a pro team.

You follow your favorite college star (and this has to be a once-in-a-generation favorite college star) to the pros and root for his team du jour ... like if you were a UNC fan for the past 20 years, and you rooted for the Bulls (because of MJ) and then the Raptors (because of Vince). Only works if there isn't a pro team in your area.

The owner of your favorite team treated his fans so egregiously over the years that you couldn't take it anymore -- you would rather not follow them at all then support a franchise with this owner in charge. Just for the record, I reached this point with the Boston Bruins about six years ago. When it happens, you have two options: You can either renounce that team and pick someone else, or you can pretend they're dead, like you're a grieving widow. That's what I do. I'm an NHL widow. I don't even want to date another team.

If you're between the ages of 20-40, you're a fan of the Yankees, Cowboys, Braves, Raiders, Steelers, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Canadiens and/or Oilers, and you're not actually from those one of those cities ... well, you better have a reason that goes beyond "When I was picking a favorite team as a kid, they were the best team, so I picked them." At least give me a reason like "Reggie Jackson was my favorite player growing up," or "I always liked the red Bulls uniforms," or even "Everyone in my gang wore Raiders colors." Do you really want to be known as a bonafide Bandwagon Jumper?

If you hail from New York, you can't root for the Yankees and the Mets. You have to choose between them. Repeat: You have to choose between them. Don't give me this "As long as one of them is doing well, at least New York is winning" spiels. What is this, the sports fan's version of bisexuality? How about making a choice? Any New Yorker who said the words "It's the Yankees versus the Mets ... I can't lose!" during the 2000 World Series deserves to be tortured with a cattle prod.

This would fall under the "owner treating fans egregiously" category. Danny already treats fans like shit, but since I don't live in DC I don't have to endure most of the horrible stuff he does. See also: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/danie ... -redskins/

Hopefully it just doesn't come to that.

Brandon Marshall to the Giants.

Romo set to be released this week and then "go on tour" like Manning did before deciding on where to sign.

Denvers gonna get 2 elite QBs for free. luckiest franchise

[cougnix]

Pierre Garçon and Hoyer to Niners to turn franchise around! Good start for Shanahan!

[shel311]

A Brandin Cooks for Malcolm Butler trade is in the works.

I like it.

Though let's be honest, once Butler leaves the Belichick scheme and heads on over to our worst defense ever in the last few seasons, I'm sure he'd immediately become mediocre.

Absolutely.

And I'd be surprised if they traded Butler after letting Ryan walk. They did just sign Gilmore, but unless they're bringing back Revis or something out of the ordinary, I'd be surprised if they let Butler go

Although, they may not be confident in his price long term after this year...
