I don’t really understand the hate especially from fans of NFC teams other than Philly/San Fran

Politics aside I got tired of seeing the Pats in the Super Bowl almost every year, then Brady with the Bucs, the Chiefs filled that void in an annoying way, just ready to mix it up and have a new champion every year instead of these dynasty teams

Brady and Belichick have always been incredibly unlikeable and have multiple cheating scandals.

I get not enjoying seeing the same team win a lot but I don’t understand that as a reason for hating them like a lot of people do — blame all the other teams that haven’t been able to beat them, it’s not like this is the MLB with no cap and they’re just outspending everyone like the Dodgers. It’s an even playing field and they’ve just been better than everyone else.

Mahomes’ family can be kind of annoying but I’ve never seen any reason at all to dislike him on or off the field. And Reid is about as likable as it gets for a coach. I can’t believe all the people out there overjoyed by and slobbering at the broncos winning the division over them, with fuging scumbag Sean Payton as coach.

Unless it is a Panthers dynasty of course.

It is more how exhausting and tedious everything becomes with the extreme over-exposure. The tv commercials that run constantly. The coverage that is over-the-top because everyone wants to constantly hear how great they are. It's the next big thing! Popularity breeds contempt.

The Chiefs have a, I have enough rings and I don't care anymore problem. 

I think that is a very, very. VERY small issue with them. I think they just generally aren't as good as they used to be. If you look across the board at their roster, the talent level isn't as high.

NFL and the TV networks figured out a while ago, maybe during the 90's Dallas run, maybe before, that hatred drives as many eyeballs to their product as love

Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in.

We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. It was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Basbear · Posted

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
