5. You didn't see Lightning and Marlin fans gloat because there AREN'T ANY!
When the Marlins won the World Series a couple of years ago the stadium wasn't even sold out for the stretch run or the first playoff round. Do you think anyone in Florida gave a fuck about the Lightning before they got to the finals? Do you think anyone gives a fuck about them now? NO and NO. I'm glad the Patriots won it last year because a poor fan base like the Carolina Panthers do not deserve to win. They aren't long suffering die-hard fans. It doesn't mean as much to them. When I went down there last year it was a joke the way we took over their town. People were selling tickets by the bushel for less than face value in a game where the Panthers could have clinched their division. We live and die with this shit in some places while it's a nice little excuse to party for these others. I don't sound bitter at all do I?
