Thanks for the brain power, Dangerous. I even think you may have gotten the order of the teams confused.
It was a joke, fanboi.
Oh, you crushed me with that one. But here's a serious question: Why is someone who argues the viewpoint that I have automatically a fanboi? Why should my argument be ignored or scoffed at because I may want the Patriots to win? Our personal preferences---and our personal distastes---almost singlehandedly determine which view we adopt.
If I recall correctly, Oz is a Colts fan. Can I refute his argument regarding this controversy by saying, "You're a Colts fanboi and so you want the Patriots to be punished!" Somehow that's not the way it works.
Just because you take a negative viewpoint does not mean you're objective. A lot of people here seem to be concerned with not being fanbois. If you're trying to prove you're not a fanboi, you're not objective---you're just as subjective as me. Except, for whatever reason, people think negativity equates to objectivity.
