When it comes to the Super Bowl, I take a look at the two teams playing I decide who I want to win, you know, like a normal person would right? This year is a little bit different for me, because I kind of want both teams to win this year for entirely different reasons. Let me explain what I mean.
You remember back when you were younger and you first learned about the "Needs vs Wants" argument you had with your parents? Like you'd go to a Target or something and you'd see the toy you've always wanted, and you go to your mom and you like "I WANT THIS TOY MOM!!!" But alas, your mom kills whatever hope you may have with the reply, "You don't need this, you just want it." And then after that phrase is uttered you consider the fact that you may not ever trust your mother ever...ever...again. Point is, I have a team that I want to win the Super Bowl, and a team that I need to win it.
WHO DO I WANT TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL?
The Cincinnati Bengals are who I want to win the Super Bowl. The main reason is that I am a sucker for the classic underdog story. What would be cooler than to see a team like the Bengals go from just being happy to win their first playoff game since the first awful Bush was in office, to winning the Super Bowl all in one playoff game. And it's just fun to see a small market team like the Bengals win their first Super Bowl? Also, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are awesome and should be a big time threat for years to come.
Also, I fucking hate the Rams as an organization. Stan Kroenke is a terrible owner and person, and I hate that this rams roster has been mostly bought rather than developed by their coaching. That's not a jab at McVay though, the Rams are doing what a lot of teams in the NBA are doing, just buying up all the big names as possible to try and win a championship. This team doesn't draft first rounds picks, their practically fucking allergic to them. They just pawn them so they can get the next big name out there for trade. Just in the last two years, the Rams have traded for Jalen Ramsey, Matt Stafford, Von Miller, and OBJ. That's not developing a roster that's some New York Yankee or LA Lakers "sign every big free agent available" type of bullshit.
BUT I NEED THE RAMS TO WIN BECAUSE OF ONE REASON
This reason is very very specific and not even remotely related to any of these two teams. It has everything to do with one thing, and one thing only, slandering Aaron Rodgers. There's been a lot of newcomers to the "Fuck Aaron Rodgers" train this year for various reasons, and to that I say welcome aboard, we have fun here but we're also sad most of the time. But Aaron Rodgers has had a direct effect on my (and pretty much every Vikings fan's) happiness and general mental health for the last twelve years or so. Aaron Rodgers has been at the very least, a top two Quarterback in the league for over a decade now, and as much as I loathe the man, I have to give my respect to him for his abilities, because he will be a Hall of Famer when he decides to hang it up.
But the man has one significant black mark on his legacy, and its the fact that he only has one Super Bowl win under his belt and hasn't been to one since his first one back in 2010. If the Rams win on Sunday, and Matt Stafford gets his first ring, the amount of ammo that I will fire off on Twitter completely devaluing the legacy of Aaron Rodgers will be legendary. It will be my Magnum Opus, my Masterpiece, whatever you want to call it, I will spend the night slandering Aaron Rodgers until I'm fucking blue in the face. And it won't just be me either, I have no doubts in my mind that Aaron Rodgers legacy devaluing will be happening throughout NFC North fandom.
This is all I really want out of the Super Bowl this year, besides an entertaining game and for the halftime show to be good. Just give me one evening of slandering QAaron Rodgers and it will be my own personal happy ending of football season.
