Or perhaps a combination of both? 4 majors. Do you know when your team sucks - or live in fantasy land thinking perhaps there's a 'chance'? I respect both sides of this equation; however it does feel good right now being a Realist knowing as a Flyers, Phillies, Eagles and Sixers fan - we're on the verge of multiple Championships. Who are you?   |

is that from 'The Crazies' with a Simpsons twist? I'm a huge fan of infection / zombie movies but felt that was a major letdown and disappointment and it really felt like a cable Sci-Fy flick

Oh - I get it now. You're stating you're a 'Homer'. You'll have to excuse me - 'Snow Day' here (as well as tomorrow) and am enjoying an adult beverage (or two) |

That's why I was thinking maybe it was a 'Treehouse of Horror' - i.e. one of the Simpsons Halloween Episodes but maybe was based on the movie 'The Crazies'.... Also a 'Carnival' vibe to it - i.e. the HBO Show................. Maybe the posters point is he's a 'Demented Homer'?

The high today was only 48!!!!!!! The low tonight is 24!!!!!!!!!! Oh poor you - it's March 5th here and our high tomorrow is 24 with a low of 11. WTF - thought the groundhog predicted an early spring. I'm in March Madness Mode - which means St. Paddys Day Mode - which means the start of baseball and then the kickoff to summer. I have yearly rituals I live by - but I'm still watching Misery, The Shining and 30 Days of Night right now since it's like Alaska here and it's March F*cking 5th .......global warming my Irish milk white ass.

I'm not seeing The Crazies connection but it's been a while since I saw either one. I found both versions to be a bit disappointing to be honest.

I'm not seeing The Crazies connection but it's been a while since I saw either one. I found both versions to be a bit disappointing to be honest. I was highly disappointed. And I love infection/zombie movies. It's sad we haven't gotten a great zombie/infection movie since the iconic Dawn of the Dead remake. Going out to warm up my car. Say a prayer for me - and good luck to your Bulldogs next college football season if I don't return....I feel like Tugg Speedman in Scorcher VI just opening my door................

I keep downplaying most of my teams. If hoskotafe3 is to be believed then I might even have an inferiority complex regarding my teams. If my team is winning then I am not going to taunt others. If my team loses then I usually brash them instead of the opposition. So yeah, I am not a homer. My teams are: 1. Men in Blue - Cricket 2. Houston Rockets - NBA' 3. Juventus - Football/Soccer 4. Seattle Seahawks - NFL 5. McLaren - Formula 1. |

Maybe the posters point is he's a 'Demented Homer'? I'm a realistic homer, and it's somewhat depressing.

Realist. I try to enjoy every season and every team for what it is. Of course my expectations for the Patriots make me harder on them, but all in all I like to think of myself as a levelheaded sports fan. I have faith in my teams but I'm not oblivious to their flaws.

I’m a realist. Most of the pro teams I follow (well all, bar one) have a long and detailed history of major suckage.

If you don't mind me asking you, at what age did you start supporting Man U, Bob? And what made you a fan of them (any particular player or their style of playing?) I guess you would have been one of the fewer kids watching association football when you started to see football.

I am a realist typically. I don't expect the White Sox to finish ahead of the Indians in the AL Central this year, but I am expecting improvement this year and major improvement the next 2-3. I do typically expect the Blackhawks to do better.
I was pissed with the Rockets last year for capitulating in games 6 and 7 of the Western Conferenxe Finals and losing a series they should have won. I rarely expect more from the Cowboys then 8-10 wins and a WC playoff win and that's what I typically get.
In Aussie sports I rarely jump on a bandwagon either way with my teams. Things are never as good or as bad as they seem for Collingwood or St George.

My maternal side of the family are English immigrants. When I was a real young kid in the late 80’s, the only English soccer coverage on Australian TV was a 1 hour highlights package shown on a Monday Night, and replayed on the following Saturday afternoon, and the FA cup final, live. Therefore, every Tuesday afternoon whilst at my grandparents house, we’d watch a VHS recording of the Monday nights highlights. There were anywhere between 1-8 relatives watching, as most didn’t even have a VCR. Naturally, I had to pick a team - but I wasn’t allowed to pick a club someone else went for. That ruled out immediately Forest, Arsenal, West Ham, Either Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham City, Liverpool and Everton (Even though not all of them were in the top flight at the time). For some reason, I liked Man Utd’s kit. It was different to the others in that it was 3 colours and I really liked the Black socks. My passion for Utd and the entire league grew from there. As a kid, I was fascinated that there were SO many clubs, and the leagues were so big. All I had to compare was Rugby League, which had 13 teams at the time. So, a combination of no one else in my family going for Man Utd, and their socks. I’ve always maintained had Hull City or Wolves been in the first division at the time, I’d probably be supporting them (Tigers, and Amber/Black colours)
