Sometimes the Super Bowl presents a matchup that leaves you without a team to root for. Both teams can be so emotionally repugnant that it makes it hard to have a rooting interest in The Big Game.
For me, Super Bowl 53 falls into that category. Like just about everyone else outside of Boston—and a subset of Michigan fans still obsessed with Tom Brady—I’m over the New England Patriots. While I appreciate them assuming the villain role this year, that still doesn’t mean I can muster up enough good will to actually root for them.
