Falcons fan perspective.
EDIT: and as Broncos fan I will forever be grateful to that Tampa D for preventing the Raiders from getting a fourth ring--and doing so in embarrassing fashion at that.

I had to rethink for a moment: TB and ATL weren't even division rivals until the Bucs' Super Bowl year. Then I looked up the few games between the two before then and...yeesh, I can see why Electro would hate them even before the creation of the NFC South.

Look up Sapp End Zone Dance on you tube... Enjoy.
Also, I hate Jeff George, but he gets no respect either.
I'd expect a Minnesota fan to hate Morton Anderson

This is hate but begrudgingly respect right?

Peyton Manning is number 1 by a country mile. I've heard so many awful stories about that tool and the media just continues to prop him up. I mean they have to know he's a complete and total piece of shit by now.

Doesn't sound like you respect him at all, which means you may be misunderstanding the point of this thread...

Just expressing my hate without detailing my respect. Hate is part of this right? The dude was a incredible quarterback.

This is sports hate guy. Irrational sports hate. Derrick Brooks was fucking awesome. The Falcons were not.

I held a grudge against the 90s Cowboys for the longest time. What a bunch of scumbags. Let it go, man. I did and now I'm okay.

He's still playing. Five years after that, we'll see.

Yeah, Brady for sure.
Basically the whole 90's Bills:
Kelly (who I now genuinely like...actually I like a bunch of these guys now, but man did I ever hate them back then)
Thurman Thomas
Kenneth Davis
Andre Reed
John Fina
Bruce Freaking Smith (Richmond Webb was an awesome LT who could block Bruce to save Marino's life. That strip sack in the '92 AFC Championship still haunts me.)
Cornelious Bennett
Darryl Talley
