I am onto you Dave, and I will cast whatever reversal necessary! =)
this time will be different.
we got an... angle.
damn those royals.
can't stop them from winning.
This would convince Dave to root for the Yankees.
Exhilarating TV! Note...$71 at rival Amazon.
David Tyler McGee: if you root for the yankees for the wrong reasons, we WILL be fighting.
You just can't make this Faustian deal.
First, it's far from certain that it's even possible to return from the dark side.
Second, what if someone takes a picture and your great grandchildren find it after it's too late for you to plead your feeble defense? Your line could be stained forever.
The limit, beyond which no true friend would ask you to go, is that you refrain from rooting against the Yankees. Even that is risky for your immortal soul, but risk-benefit is a much closer call.
You don't want to be a fair-weather fan, do you?
