You've been reading these threads for how long and have yet to figure it out? I'm pretty sure I know why people "HATED" Mario, or "HATED" the Texans, and I'm also pretty sure I know why people "LOVE" Vince... no matter what
Whatever you say. I'll try to remind you that VY is 3-0 against the Texans... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9acRrOEleC8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9acRrOEleC8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I used to just hate his twisted fetish followers but not VY himself, but to really hate them I have to hate him.
Wtf? Personally offend me? So now a player has to come to my house and kick my dog for me to be able to root against him?
VY fans can't be this dense. He plays for the Titans! A division rival of the Texans! Texans fans hoping a player from the Titans fails...no way!
Why hate the player though? Hate the Titans. Thats fine. They are a division rival. Hate Pacman because he was an idiot. Hate LenDale White for stomping on a towel. Why hate VY?
It's not exclusively. I root against other people too. 1) I root against UT, and always have, since the breakup of the SWC (and every Big 12 team, for that matter). Since their success detracts from UH, my school/team. Nothing personal, but unless they're in my conference, I need them to fail. If the other schools in Texas start sucking, UH benefits, period. So I root for other Texas schools (who aren't in CUSA) to suck. I think Vince played for UT, so when he was there, I rooted against him. Collateral damage. 2) I am a Texans fan. I hate Bud Adams and his team. The Titans' success directly negatively impacts my team, the Texans. Last I heard Vince plays for them. So collateral damage again I guess. If Vince were here, I'd wish him all the best success in the world. Simple enough I think.
It's kind of like hating Miley Cyrus. Tons of 12 years old girls follow her every stupid move and nothing in the world can prove to them that she sucks. But in this case it is grown men with deep rooted crushes/fantasies acting worse than the Miley Cyrus fans. At the the 12 years girls have an excuse - they are 12 year old girls. The VY lovers are just very confused grown men who need heavy counseling.
Why does Vince Young get 100x more hate than any other Titan? What sets him apart from Kerry Collins, Bo Scaife, or Chris Johnson? Peyton Manning is a division rival QB, I see almost no hate towards him
I don't hate VY. I hate the army of knob-slobbers who have the most convoluted ways of fluffing his game up. There's plenty of VY fans who are reasonable when it comes to Vince's career, they're just not loud enough and not nearly large enough in number.
Are you joking? There are significantly more VY haters than lovers, it's not even close. People hating on him for the sole reason of people rooting for him is pathetic to say the least
I can't think of anyone in the division that I hate as a player. In fact I like Schaub, AJ, Peyton, Wayne, Garrard, and Freeny. Correction: I hate fat ass Alge Crumpler, and LenDale White to a degree, but they play for my team.
****, since you put it that way, I understand it much better! I would kill a cat and eat it if she didn't get back on Twitter. You get rep points from me.
You can keep hollering that there are more haters, but until I see it, I'm maintaining the opposite... at least in terms of sheer volume/loudness. Makes me wonder where you were from 2005 to 2006. I don't know if it's so pathetic, consider this scenario. Texas A&M wins a national title in basketball (LOL) and their star player gets drafted by the Utah Jazz after being passed over by the Rockets. For years the board is flooded with A&M fluffers who constantly bash the Rockets and think their guy is the second coming of Christ, and they constantly tell you that YOUR drafted player sucks and that your team will never live it down. They also constantly pimp their former beloved star and make excuses for him despite evidence to the contrary that he was/is the caliber of player they claimed he was. I'm willing to bet you'd eventually start to hate the guy they love so much, or at least wish for his failure so they'd shut the eff up and go away (which is partly why the board was so peaceful last year with VY on the bench ).
I hate a guy like Brett Favre for his ego and off-season antics, I hate Michael Vick because he is a pathetic human being, I hate Roger Clemens because her is a cheater. Until Vince does something like these people I listed, I am not going to be upset over him succeeding or people liking him.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the Texans and their fans got a LOT of grief for their (as it turns out) correct selection of Mario Williams. Vince Young was the choice that most wanted, with the rest wanting Bush. After that you have the rookie campaign of Young vs Mario Williams and more and more Texans bashing("what were you thinking" on MNF). Then you also have the Titans/Bud Adams/Oilers crap. Then you have his troubles throwing the football and the overused "he just wins" cliche to prop him up. It just gets old.
So it wouldn't absolutely kill you if a significant number of Rocket fans would say they would never watch another Rockets game and then became Jazz fans because the Rockets did not draft the player they are personally in love with and the Jazz did, then filled the seats at Toyota Center with Jazz jerseys and cheered for a buzzer beater win for the Jazz? Are you that clueless or that dumb?
Oh yeah, and don't forget constantly posting a single youtube clip of said buzzerbeater over and over again and using tripe like "He just wins" as an instant *I Win* button in an argument.
