I have a little 10 year old son of a friend who stayed over last night with my son. He saw me here on a football forum and sat down with me to chat a bit. He informs me he is a Patriots fan, and when he grows up, he wants to play either for the Pats or the Colts - he's not really a Steelers fan. They haven't done much this year or last. Um, excuse me. I informed him (as nicely as I could) that the Colts might have won the SB last year but it was the first time in ages, and the Pats are only recently a good team, and had been caught cheating. And that the Steelers did win the SB a couple of years ago - that wasn't good enough for him? Then he tells me that he has been a Pats fan "for a pretty long time". Hee! The kid's 10 years old.

I am rooting for the Giants today. Not that it will do any good - I also told my little friend that I'm sure he will get his wish and the Patriots will indeed win. He told me not to worry - I'd be a Patriots fan soon. I KNOW he's only 10, but fer Gawd's sake. I can only take so much. I told him he might not want to continue reading over my shoulder - there weren't too many Patriots fans here and he might not want to see much more since he's a fan.

I have to say that I was really hoping that the Packers or the Colts would win to play today - I thought they had a more legitimate chance to beat the Patriots. But I'm beginning to think the 07 Giants might be like the 05 Steelers - underdogs, winning road games with no one giving them a chance....who knows?

You gotta show the little guy the "Thank you" thread....(My 10 year old neighbor pulled the same stunt with being a Patriots* fan this year....I asked him to name a player outside of Randy Moss and Tom Brady.....it was a very short conversation)

I saw your other thread, LLT, and thought it was very good. I always enjoy your posts.

I'm just going to let this slide, I think. I've been kind of hard on the poor little guy already. He'll grow out of it. [small voice] My own son used to be a Cardinals fan. Why? Because he thought that cardinals (the bird) are pretty. He's not a football fan in particular (where have I gone wrong?) but does root for the Steelers now. [/small voice] My little friend is jumping on a winning bandwagon, which is not surprising - many grown folks do it as well. He's only 10 - he'll get over it, once the Pats aren't a good team anymore and start losing. And, at some point, they will. Karma's a b itch.

I know what you mean...my 13 year old son (born and raised a Steeler fan) is dealing with a lot of the junior high bandwagon jumpers...Its driving him crazy. You can bet he will be cheering for the Giants!!!
