Niners will always top the list. I hate, hate, hate, hate that team. They could be the worst team in the league playing the Patsies, and I'd still want them to lose. The championships Montana, Rice, et/al snagged back when Dickerson was in his prime... we woulda had our first ring without that stinkin' Niners team in the '80's.
Seagulls next, because their coach was a rule-breaking b*****d when he was at USC, and then he left them to suffer the consequences while he got PAID to jump back to the NFL. Plus they're a bunch of cocksure b*****ds.
I ... just don't have it in me to hate the Cards. Kurt almost won them a super bowl. Can't hate Kurt, ever. In any given year, if the Rams can't win the NFC West, I'll reflexively pull for AZ.
Oh, and I can't stand Dallas. I chose the Rams in 4th grade (1977) when all the other kids were picking the Cowboys. And I stuck with my team. Thick and thin, baby.
GO RAMS

That thread will make things interesting if the Rams advance to the SB against hated NE/PITT....
It's amazing how much Niner hatred is retained in other fan bases. I guess it would be similar to how long the Seahawk hate would take to subside to the point where this is no hatred........at this point I imagine it's possible but will take a long time. Definitely would take the departure of Sherman, Wilson, Thomas, Jimmy Graham, Bennett, Chancellor and maybe a few other guys. Basically the Carroll stink would have to be gone, and him as well of course.
The Seahawks denied the 49ers a trip to SB 48, so I guess that's why we'll hate them (among the annoying games we had 2012-2015). It was the manner of how we lost to them and the a***** players they have that makes me have hatred for them. If Montana and Brady are the 1a/1b candidates for GOAT, Wilson (and Eli Manning) are 1a/1b for LOAT (Luckiest).
What did we ever do to the Rams except be a superior football team? FWIW, I cannot recall the Niners facing the Rams in the playoffs outside of '89.....so besides the 50/50 split in the regular season, other teams took down the Rams in the playoffs ultimately....or they missed it entirely.
So what I see is trophy envy, but not a true hate based on getting f'd on a controversial call or a catastrophic turnover. Come back when you lose a playoff game over a super lucky fumble......idiots.
Eagles are/were my #1 NFC side team going into this playoff race. Vikings would be #2.....and then the rest is whatever.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Niner hate from Eagles & Vikings fans.......
Or is it Iggles fans and Viqueens? Lambs, Aints, Kittens??
Ideally it's KC over all.....JAX #2 despite the cockiness of that team.
Soon it won't matter anymore.....it will be The JG Show and everyone else can f*** off!!
