Really followed them in St Louis. I also liked the Cardinals when they ran their losing steaks against the Cowboys.
Raiders. Uncle was the team Chaplain for many years, so as a kid he used to send me all kinds of memorabilia, and when we would visit him, I got to meet most of the Raiders from the 70's. Fuck the Seahawks. Fuck Seattle. I have always resented that team because the NFL just assumes Portland is a suburb or something of Seattle.
All you Blazer fans sucking up that Seahawk juice disgust me! Fuck the Seahawks! and anything from Seattle! Oh ya, go Eagles!
I got indoctrinated into Packer fandom by my Grandpa and Uncle when I was about six or seven. Little did I know that Lynn Dickey and Don "Magic Man" Majkowski weren't good enough to lift those teams to anything higher than 8-8 on occasion, so my teenage years were full of bitter disappointment. That being said, it's been a remarkable twenty+ years run ever since Reggie White signed with the team and they traded for some kid named Fave-ruh. I'm already bracing myself for the inevitable downturn when Rodgers eventually gets traded away and I get to remember what it was like to root for a team that doesn't have a QB.
I have liked the 49ers since I was a kid in the mid 90s because of that Mormon bastard Steve Young, and to a much lesser extent I have liked the Colts since they had Chad Cota (his son is a future Duck) since he's from my area, so I'm a dirty double teamed fan. Both teams suck balls now so you can't say I'm a bandwagon fan!
>I too, am a dirty double team fan. Cardinals since the 1970's St Louis days and Colts to Ravens. I could never like the Colts in Indiana. The Baltimore Ravens are always in a game, give you fan ulcers and and they win ugly. The Cleveland game yesterday is a perfect example.
I haven't watched a full game in over twenty years. The last thing I want to hear on issues is the opinion of a football player.
Because...by definition, someone who plays football for a living is incapable of having cogent or relevant opinions? Whose opinions are worth listening to on issues? Is there a list? Do I need to take notes? Will there be a test later?
My god that father is an embarrassment to all men! That poor kid, jesus. But in all seriousness, stay classy LA!
Perhaps, if you think it will help. When I go to a football game, I expect to see football. When I turn on a football game I expect to see and hear football. If they want to use the time for other purposes, then I will and did make other choices. But please feel free to make yours.
