Football is about the only sport I agree with you that I'd root against the Packers and Bears (not really the Vikings), but that's simply because I really hate those teams. Do you honestly really hate the Royals just because they're in our division? Perhaps you do, but I don't get the sense that many Detroit fans feel hatred on that sort of level for KC. Maybe in time if they stay competitive I will learn to detest them a little more, but they are nowhere near the level of the Packers, Bears, Vikings, or to a lesser extent the Indians and White Sox in baseball. I was rooting for KC because it would have made a cool story for their team and their fans, plus it brings a little credibility to the AL Central which has consistently been looked down upon.
So does this result really make anyone feel better about the Tigers, because it doesn't do it for me! Now we just get to hear about how amazing the freakin Giants and Madison Bumgarner are for another year. Oh and that fat dbag Sandoval who swings at balls in the dirt and hits them for doubles and home runs. Oh the joy lol.
