I root for the Jets. Loved the uniforms and the Curtis Marin era with Wayne Chrebet. I never got the Seattle connection. Im going to root for another franchise 144 miles just because it's the closest one? GTFO! And I was supposed to follow the Fuskies and the (then) Sonics as well? I'd rather follow no teams at all.
The Seahawks by default. I was never invested mentally in that team so the Superbowl win didn't mean as much to me as it did my brother. He has a Seahawks logo painted in his man cave so he loved it. Going to be jealous until Damian gets the Blazers one.
Saints. When I was young and impressionable they drafted Rickey Williams who I loved in college and thought was a straight up beast. I also loved Ditka. My dad has always been a Bears fan and they have always been boring to me. No good quartebacks, boring offensively. I adopted the Saints and its been fun in the Drew Brees era. My opinion the greatest quarterback all time at placing the ball and having chemistry with his receiving corps.
I've got nothing against the Saints. I in fact rooted for them when they won the Superbowl...they won me a good deal of money
I don't root for the Seahawks just because they are the closest team. Ive just always enjoyed watching them, their brand of football. Their shear will on defense.
The Cowboys, and the Cheat.... Patriots are despised. If they play one another during the regular season, I want it to go to as many overtimes as possible with Romo and Brady both getting pummeled all game. Then end in a tie. My favorite player of all time is 1a Randall Cunningham and 1b Jerry Rice. I've been an Eagles and 49ers fan. The very day Portland gets a team, ties will be severed.
I respected Steve Largent, Dave Krieg, and Curt Warner. But I didn't watch their games every Sunday growing up. I just didn' feel any local connection. It was like watching Alvin Davis and the Mariners on local TV. I'd just turn it Cubs or the Braves instead.
My family growing up in Iowa were all Greenbay Packers fans....underdogs...we despised the Cowboys just like the Lakers and Yankees...then I grew up and realized football really sucks.
I was born in Texas, yet I inherently despise most of the professional teams there...the Rockets, Spurs, Mavericks, Cowboys. I don't care enough about baseball to hate the rangers or Astros, but if I was a baseball fan I probably would. Though I don't have anything against the Texans. I also hate the Yankees though again I don't care to much bout baseball
Been watching the Titans because of Mariota. I used to really like the Niners, but I can't stand their ownership.
I only root against teams. Right now its the Seahawks because Seattle fucking sucks and the Niners because the Bay Area is wack.
