I don't really have one either. I usually start picking a team I would like to win during the playoffs. This year I would love to see Seahawks vs Denver, and wouldn't really care who won it as I love Manning. But I am also a huge fan of Wilson and the Hawks have never won the SuperBowl before. They deserve it!

If you have two teams, you don't have one. That is all.

 

It's not about having two teams. It's about remaining interested after the perennial disappearance of the Bills midway through every season.

 

I think you meant to say two starting QBs.

I have no second favorite. If you put a gun to my head and told me I must pick a team or die, I'd say the Decatur Staleys.

I DO know that my favorite NFL city to visit is New Orleans.

I root for the Bills.

 

Once they are eliminated, I root for the Pats. Can't help it. None of us can help who we root for, unless we are phony, fair-weather fans.

It sounds like you are a fair weathered bills fan.

 

How could you possibly root for a team that cheats and beats our asses all the time???

 

Respecting talent is one thing. Rooting is a whole different level. I know bellycheat is a good coach. But I will never root for him.

The Staleys. Sounds like you may have been to the Pro Football HOF. If you have, ever read the story about the Chicago Hornets? Funny stuff.

Why them? Just curious.

I was living in Philadelphia the first year of the USFL. On a lark I went to the playoff game between the Stars and CHicago Blitz (coached by Marv Levy.) It was a really exciting OT win for the Stars and I was hooked. They were the dominant team in the USFL all three years. Sadly few of their best players did much in the NFL. RB Kelvin Bryant played for the Redskins. QB Chuck Fusina was a backup in Green Bay.

 

But one player did have a good NFL career: LB Sam Mills, who coach Jim Mora brought with him to New Orleans. Then later he would play in Carolina and have his #51 retired there. Sadly he passed away in 2005.

Because I do not believe he cheats more than anyone else. At Giants stadium they used to open giant doors to screw up opposing field goal kickers. The Steelers won super bowls by juicing their players. The league is littered with felons.

 

If you want to make morality judgments, there is no one to root for.

 

When I say I root for the Pats, I actually don't care very much and often miss lots of playoff games.

Denver is my #2 ... that started back when John Elway was playing.

San Diego is my #3 .. although I want San Diego to beat Denver this weekend. Go Figure.

For some reason I am not liking Indy (too lucky getting Luck) and strangely would like NE to win, but then for NE to lose in AFC Championship game.
