do you ever root against teams? that is, not to root for the opposing team, but rather to specifically wish ill upon the other.

or are you simply disinterested in a game not featuring your favorite?

Any game involving Duke I root for the other team.

Mostly I only "root against" players I feel are overhyped, or that I'm tired of hearing people rant and rave about. Tom Brady being a recent example. I never want anyone to get hurt or anything, but I figure if they lose, sportswriters will stop jerking them off.

I'm getting really tired of the Troy Smith Heisman thing. Good grief, the guy averages 213 passing yards a game, and for the exceptional athlete he may be, he doesn't rush for many yards, either. Yet every time Ohio State wins, people say he's just distancing himself from the pack.

I almost always root against the Steelers, unless them winning would benefit/favor the Bengals.

Ditto with Michigan and Ohio State (anybody else think the game in Columbus on Nov. 18 will be another 1 vs. 2?)
