How passionate a fan are you?

Your favorite team is playing againt someone from your hometown that is a friend or even a family member. Do you cheer your favorite team on or the hometown boy/friend/family member?

Personally, even if it was my own kid, I still cheer for my Packers. I would wish they did good and won every other game but not againt my Packers!! heck I'd even wish they played good against my Packers but in a losing effort. LOL

City of Burlington - Until this week, it was the best of times for area residents.

They could cheer on their beloved Green Bay Packers and - at the same time - still cheer on Burlington's own Tony Romo, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

Tonight's game is the worst of times. Burlington finds itself a city divided.

One needs to look no farther than the Burlington High School athletics and activities department.

Romo, a Burlington High School graduate, returns to his hometown regularly and holds football camps for his alma mater. Phones at the department's office ring constantly with people inquiring about how to purchase a replica of his No. 16 high school jersey. Romo wears a Burlington High shirt under his Cowboys jersey.

Yet the walls around the desk of Eric Burling, the school's athletic and activities director, are filled with Green Bay Packers memorabilia. A photo of a contemplative Brett Favre, a framed copy of Vince Lombardi's "What It Takes To Be # 1" speech, and the like. The office also sports photos of Romo, but he's outnumbered.

I will always cheer for whatever team someone I know is playing for, even if it's against one of "my teams". I guess I'm just not a huge fan or buy into that "fan loyalty" concept. I tend to stay more loyal to friends and family than any team out there.

But, most of my hard-core sport fan friends would be right there with you!

Doesn't really matter....

Dallas will win. Plain and simple.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
