Colts, Bears 1; Horde, Alliance 0

Nothing brings out the passion in large groups of people like football, and WoW players are no exception. Shattrath City general chat Sunday night was filled with "INTERCEPTION! COLTS WIN! YES!" and "Da Beaaaaarrrs!" Our guild's first 70 ended up spending his celebration night in the company of Jack Daniels aftere the Patriots let it slip away, and several dueling officers had Guild Message Of The Day fights. ("go colts!" "colts suck, go patriots!" "colts are awesome and patriots fans enjoy the company of farm animals!")

I had skipped going out to see the Colts/Pats game in a bar because it looked like a blowout first, and then spent the second and third quarters trying to figure out how I could quietly wipe my instance group and go watch the game. At least it's better than last year, where a guild member ended up actually getting gkicked for insisting that 1) USC was better than Texas, despite losing the game and 2) Women don't know anything about football.

How did the games play out on your server? Could you care less about football, or did you watch with bated breath and end up annoying your guildmates by screaming at the television while holding down your push-to-talk key in Vent?
