I don't know what reaction I will have the next time I have a chance to yell things at a team that I have always disliked. I can see myself revert to the old Eric, and call the Dodgers names unprintable in the Crimson. And for them to be unprintable here, they've gotta be really bad.

At the same time, there's a chance that I'll turn over a new leaf and make my positive comments only positive.

But you know what? Doing that would be kind of a shame.

For some inane reason, I take pride in the coming up with derogatory names to describe Southern California teams. Maybe it's just hormonal, but when I look back at all the things I've said at sporting events, I smile.

Yeah, it is crude. So what? Just like everyone else in the world. I get stressed out sometimes, and the Pats game did relieve a lot of that.

Remember, I paid $50 for my ticket. I should be able to do whatever I want without feeling guilty.
