When I watch these games, the favoritism of the officials toward the Bulls fills me with disgust. Fans of the Bulls likewise make me ill.
Hmm, ok...let me see if I can put away some of your negative viewpoints behind my reasoning for wanting these tapes. Let\'s start with the Cowboys, grew up a Cowboys fan and have remained one even through the tough times that we are seeing today. Im a diehard fan of the franchise no matter how bad they suck. If you grow up around here Cowboys football is in your blood. I was quite young win the Cowboys won their three Superbowls, thus I dont recall the entirety of each game. This nags me pretty bad because I want to go back and watch Troy Aikman, Emmit, and Micheal Ervin when they were all in their prime and their Superbowl appearances would be the most pleasurable to view.
Now about the Bulls, I wanst one of those ppl that just fell in love with Micheal Jordan the moment I saw him make unbleivable skyrocketing dunks. Personally I never liked him, nor have I ever really liked the big stars because they usually have the biggest heads. It was the other guys that played along with him that made their games great and fun to watch. Now I will say that Scotty Pippen and MJ had to be one of the best duals we\'ve seen this decade. People like Longley, Kukoch, Kerr, and Harper I felt brought the games to life but thats just me. Again, this is just another example of me wanting to go back and relive a part of my past, I dont see the harm in it.
But...you say that I only favor teams that simply put have a high status or have won alot. From what I recall Houston has won one finals matchup, Packers have only one superbowl recently and the Spurs have had two Finals wins 5 years apart. Now lets see here, Houston is pretty much long forgotten, the only thing that has kept them in the news is Yao Ming and Van Gundy being hired as head coach but other than that, lately they havent been worth noting. The Spurs, even with two finals wins are not very well recognized...instead single players are like Tim Duncan and thats bout it.
Most people want to watch games we\'re they\'re favorite teams have won and thats me. Im not going to record video of the Mavericks getting put out by Sanatonio because I like Dallas so much, I want to see the teams I like win. If I were to be listing highly admired teams then I surely would of added Los Angelos in there right? Call me a person who just goes from one winning team to the next if you want but I just look at the ppl that made the team what it was. Now I wont argue with you on this subject anymore because it\'s obvious your not going to hand over the vid\'s but understand it\'s more to me then a teams rating.
