Friend: “So, Bill, who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?”
Me: “You mean, ‘who do I want to win it’?”
Friend: “Yes, who do you want to win the Super Bowl?”
Me: “The 49ers.”
Friend: “Uh… You do realize that they aren’t in the Super Bowl this year, don’t you?”
Me: “Yes. But you didn’t ask me who was in it, you asked me who I wanted to win it. The fact that the 49ers aren’t playing doesn’t change the fact that I want them to win it.”
Friend: “OK. Of the two teams who are actually playing, who do you want to win?”
Me: “The Broncos.”
Friend: “Seriously? The Broncos? They are AFC! If you’re a 49er fan, you should be rooting for the NFC team – the Seahawks!”
Me: “I’m also a Chargers fan, and they are AFC.”
Friend: “But they aren’t playing, either.”
Me: “That’s right. And if they were, they would be horribly massacred.”
Friend: “So?”
Me: “So that makes them the underdog, and I like rooting for the underdog – unless the 49ers are the overdog.”
Friend: “But -“
Me: “And since the Chargers aren’t in it to get massacred, and the 49ers aren’t in it to massacre them, I have to go for the next best thing and root for the surrogate underdog.”
Friend: “But the Broncos are favored by two points – they aren’t the underdog.”
Me: “But they are AFC along with the Chargers.”
Friend: “That makes no sense. It’s illogical.”
Me: “It’s football. When did football fans become logical?”
Go Broncos!
