Who is the biggest homer at FBG? (1 Viewer)

[Evilgrin 72]

I'm actually going to nominate my favorite Steelers homer - nightshift. Haven't seen him around lately, but that dude is a serious homer.

Is this for blind followers of a team? Or does it include blind followers of a player? We certainly have some TO "homers".

Homer (n.) - One who relentless pimps his/her favorite team. One who feels his team, its players, its coach, and its management can do no wrong.

You won't find a Seattle homer. They don't exist. 21 years without a playoff win does that to you. We're all sitting around praying we won't be one and done this year. Seriously, you won't find a lot of bravado coming from Seahawk fans. We've been beaten down for a long time. However, if we do well this year in the post season I predict you'll hear some "We demand your respect" type lines after a few mochas have someone jacked up on caffeine.

It is close between those Philly guys.......

I'll pick JAA and his wife.......

Noted.

I was going to 2nd that nomination, but it has been noted by my good buddy Evilgrin. [steelerfan]

How ya doin'?

[Kit Fisto]

this definition, how is anyone that rooted for the Patriots and called them the best team in football the last 2 years a homer?  If they still pimp the Pats as the best this year, definitely HOMER city.

Then I nominate Kit Fisto, based on Pat Patriot's definition.

Thanks for the nomination. It's true, I am. Blind devotion baby!

Seriously, if I'm not hearing any chirping after last night's game, I don't think I'm going to unless they win it all. I never really thought about this, but you're right.

If the Steelers don't make/are knocked out of the playoffs, I am officially jumping on the Seahawks bandwagon for the rest of this year.

He's definitely in, bro.

OK, I have 17 nominees and only 15 spots. Need to narrow the field down.

I nominate mcnabbmcnow for the Philly representative.

I'm adding him and taking out Jason Wood and JAA. Woodrow is too analytical to be a blind homer, and I think JAA is more of a T.O.-homer than an Eagles homer. Am I wrong on JAA?

BGP

Brownsrule

I thought about BGP, but he seems even more anti-Steelers than pro-Browns. Probably because there's not much too be happy about if you're a Browns fan.

I'm going to make an executive decision and remove Boston Fred (too analytical) and AZCards33 (doesn't pimp the team enough - can't really, he's a Cards fan)Shick!, please feel free to lock this thread - no further nominations. I will set up the poll now.

I believe azcards33 is a 49ers homer who just happens to live in Arizona

I think you're right. I took him off the list.
