Who are you rooting for?

[Kodos]

Which team are you rooting for to win the Super Bowl?

[lungs]

Carolina.... To see the Cam haters eat it.

[Kodos]

I'm a slight Cam-disliker. Does that count?

I will say that he is a hell of a quarterback at this point. When he was drafted, I was sure he'd be another JaMarcus Russell. I was way wrong.

I do like how he gives kids the ball after scoring.

[Peregrine]

Carolina - love to see my state take home a NFL title.

[Kodos]

It is refreshing to have two teams that haven't won on the NFC side.

Nah, I don't see much Cam hate around these parts. On the other hand, I watched the Panthers-Packers game at a hole in the wall bar in small town Wisconsin. Some of the vile, racist things I heard that day makes me want those people to eat it.

[lungs]

dola

Being a Cowboys fan this year and not much to root for, Cam was easily my must see QB on a week to week basis.

[Kodos]

He can hurt you so many ways.

It feels somewhat inevitable that the Panthers are going to win it all this year.

[Radii]

Carolina, for obvious reasons.

[JPhillips]

Panthers. Life ending asteroid.

In that order.

[MIJB#19]

I have no ties with either of these teams, any of the four possible matchup would sound like it could be an awesome game of football.

[digamma]

I'm now cheering for the Panthers.

This Danny McBride-Lookin' Motherfucker's Rap Song About The Panthers Is Actually Good (http://deadspin.com/this-danny-mcbride-lookin-motherfuckers-rap-song-about-1754292854)

[panerd]

Is Cam Newton hatred more of a Southern thing? (due to SEC, bag of cash, etc.) Never heard of it around here and don't personally know anyone with a real strong opinion on Carolina good or bad. Like Arizona most just think they are a great football team.

[sabotai]

Long live the Evil Empire!

(as long as they aren't playing the Giants)

[JonInMiddleGA]

Denver due to Manning.
If not that then whatever NFC team faces the evil empire, basically by default.

[bhlloy]

Would love to see Fitz and Palmer get a ring. Cards for me with the Panthers a close second - I like Cam and would love to see the haters eat crow

[Kodos]

FOFC has NFC bias!

[Thomkal]

well no doubt my beloved Cardinals, but I'm also a fan of Carolina, since I've lived in the Carolina "market" since their creation, and get a bunch of Carolina news here. I really, REALLY, hope Denver beats the Patriots, so I don't have to live through another potential NE Super Bowl.

[JAG]

Denver because of Ware, or else an NFC team so one of them can get their first title.

[CleBrownsfan]

I want to see Manning win one more and retire on the highest note a professional sports player can.

[jbergey22]

Whoever I decide to bet on.

[flere-imsaho]

Denver due to Manning.

Glad to see we're diametrically opposed, as usual.

I want to see Manning win one more and retire on the highest note a professional sports player can.

You mean winning the World Cup or the UEFA Champions League?

[BillJasper]

New England. That way I can say my team is shitty because it is constantly sharing its division with the best team in football.

[Drake]

Voted for Denver...because I've been cheering for Manning since the Colts drafted him, and I'd like to see him conjure some old magic for a couple of games and retire.

That said, I'd be perfectly happy with the Cards or Carolina. I like Newton's personality and wouldn't mind seeing him on my cereal box for awhile. Palmer and Fitzgerald have reached that point where they just deserve a ring.

I don't particularly dislike the Pats...just, you know, they've had their share. It's the same reasoning I applied with the last Red Sox ring. I mean, I love my Red Sox, but by the third one in a decade, I felt a little guilty about it. Not that I'd give it back or anything.

[Dutch]

I'm a Cam fan. I hope he wins it all. He's good for the NFL when so many things are bad in the NFL. He's a good dude. Hams it up a bit, but who really cares?

[Kodos]

You mean winning the World Cup or the UEFA Champions League?

Seriously. Who gives a shit about either of those?

[Izulde]

Carolina, but really, I'm in the anybody but the Patriots camp.

[cthomer5000]

1. Anyone but New England
2. Carolina: i live in NC, so I have to.
3. Denver: I would like to see Manning do it with 2 teams and vindicate some past playoff choke-jobs.
4. Arizona: They are a team that isn't New England.

[Dutch]

I'm still surprised that so many were calling for Manning's head last year and said he was done/washed up and yet....here he is in the Championship weeks....again.

[bhlloy]

He is done and washed up, and a Denver team with any QB in the league would likely also be in the championship week.

[bhlloy]

DOLA - dead last in the league for regular season QBR (34th out of 34) among qualifiers, and 10th of 12th in the playoffs

[Abe Sargent]

I love how disrespected the panthers were last year and this one. i hope they trounce everyone.


For the years in which my Jaguars have been in the NFL Abyss I took on a habit of rooting for the other kitty-cat teams until mine reclaimed it's status as pertinent. Teams like the Panthers and Lions.

[Eaglesfan27]

Arizona because Carson is a great Trojan and I want to see him win a Super Bowl.

Sorry, bro. Turn in your man-card right now, this is all sorts of awful.

[albionmoonlight]

I like Carolina. And I'd love to see Fitz win a Super Bowl.

I like Manning well enough, but both the Broncos and Manning have at least one SB win.

And I have nothing against New England, but they've won so much anyway that I have no reason to root for another.

So, basically, I hope that the NFC wins the Super Bowl.

[Comey]

Since I have no horse in this race (and the Eagles blow), either Arizona or New England, I guess. Carolina would be a nice story, especially with all the Philly roots down there...but I genuinely like Arizona and how they go about business.

My reasoning for the Pats is simple, and the same reason Tony Kornheiser wants them to win: Watching Roger Goddell hand Tom Brady the trophy would be surreal and wonderful. The NFL is so screwed up, and this is truly the best outcome for this season, from a storyline standpoint.

I guess living in New England for eight years, and genuinely liking many players on their team helps...but really, that storyline would be perfect.

[EagleFan]

Denver, to see Peyton have a chance to ride off into the sunset on top. Second would be Carolina. Third choice would be the NFL cancel the Super Bowl this season.

[MIJB#19]

I can't help but visualize Tom Brady doing what Lance Armstrong did a couple of years ago: finally retired, he goes one-on-one with Oprah, where he explains to her what [the Patriots] had to do to win 7 [Super Bowls], and elaborates on how messed up [the NFL] actually is... :(

[Groundhog]

Rooting for the Panthers because of all the ridiculous hate I see for Cam online (not here). Fun team to watch, too.

[Dutch]

He is done and washed up, and a Denver team with any QB in the league would likely also be in the championship week.

IRREGARDLESS of that... :)

[Thomkal]

Let's go beloved Cardinals!

[Galaril]

Wow I can't remember the last time a team (Denver) WS getting zero chance of winning from all the talking heads on TV. This is all especially funny as NE fans I have talked to feel they are the underdog and everyone is against them pick wise!?��

[cthomer5000]

I doubt you see a road favorite too often in a conference title game.

[molson]

The Patriots have kind of a tortured history against the Broncos and in Denver in particular. And the Bronocs are the only team that has a winning record against Brady. There's enough negative memories there to keep from feeling really confident regardless of how things look on paper.
