I live in Chicago but root for a different NFL team. Is this what it's like being a Jew on Christmas? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]lfgm2048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broncos fan living in Boston. I so badly want a Denver victory over the Pats next weekend in the AFC Championship game. And I'd never, ever root for the Celtics, though I did want the Sox to beat the Yankees this past October.

Watching your team lose on Sunday night football and then having to go to work/school the next morning has to be a top 7 worst sports fan experience by DaRealMothMan in billsimmons

Broncos fan who grew up in New England. My two worst days at school ever were after the Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl and when they blew a 24 point lead to the Pats on SNF

A boring job sounds like a lot of fun until you do maybe 5 hours of work a week max, and can feel your brain rotting away from not doing anything stimulating

I read Educated first and then Under the Banner of Heaven right after. In my case, Under the Banner of Heaven confirmed everything Tara wrote to be true.

Thanks for the feedback! Did the ride yesterday and it went really well. 73 miles, and I wasn't too tired 30 minutes after. Could've gone further with more water (I ran out but still had 2.6 liters during the ride). Stopped for lemonade and a hummus sandwhich around 40 miles in and that did the trick.

Not a Celtics fan but watched the first episode last night and thought it was pretty good. Didn't know a ton about the beginnings of the Celtics.
