Marc, I agree “hate” is a strong word. But, when used in the context of sports, I think the word is diluted and most often not used to its full meaning.
Like GB-man, I am a (long suffering) Bills fan and a Yankee fan. I may even be guilty of using the “h” word about the Pats and Tom Brady. Of course I don’t really hate them, I just have an intense passion to beat them. Until the Bills do that they remain the better team.
However, I do kind of “hate” that the Bills passed on Brady in the draft, at least twice I believe.
Btw, who are the Pats playing in the Super Bowl this year???
to Boston’s success in recent years.

I just checked. The Bills selected 6 players before New England took Brady at #199! None of the 6 we chose amounted to anything in the NFL. At least Buffalo wasn’t alone in overlooking TB. Every team had multiple chances to get him, including NE in the earlier rounds.
