First rule of sports: Pick someone to root for.
Second rule of sports: Pick someone to root against.
In the absence of number one, you have number two to fall back on. That means, should the Niners lose, I'm rooting for the Giants in the Super Bowl. Considering I'm a Panthers fan (and a Junior fan, so I know about suffering through losing seasons), it's a loose loyalty (the loyalty to the Niners). But in the playoffs, you have to have someone to root for. (In this game, I'm just not rooting against the Giants. I can't. You can't kick a puppy, aka Manning. I like the kid. I just like Vernon Davis' crying a tad bit more.)
ETA: Congrats, Giants. Now kick Tom Brady's ass!
