    Default Your NFL Team

    With fall just around the corner, I thought we should have a handy reference for identifying who's rooting for which team. So state your team and, if you like, any story behind your allegiance.

    Although I am born and raised in NorCal, my father was from a small town in Nebraska and grew up with Cletus Fisher, whose little brother Pat went on to play for Wash while I was growing up. Redskin games were rare on tv in NorCal so I was also a Raider fan until Al Davis moved them to SoCal.

    And as for college I am a true 'Husker all the way.

    Born and raised in Detroit. The Lions are my pro team. Yeah, yeah I know- lets not go there K?

    College is Michigan. I was 8 years old when my mom took me to my first sports outing. Waking into the stadium and seeing those endless rows of seats going deep into the ground was amazing. The team colors, the fight song, the helmets, the cheerleaders doing back flips off a wall each time Michigan scored. BAM!!! - imprinted on me hard.

    Grew up near enough Dallas country for it to be Dallas country...

    So I hated Dallas.. wanted something different.. chose the glorious Black and Gold of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Been there ever since, thru thicks and thins.

    NFL = 49ers. College = Nebraska. The Niners having two NU alums (Roger Craig and Tom Rathman) in the backfield in the late 80's has a lot to do with that. There was a time that you could count on both teams to win at least 10 games each. Now they can't even win 10 games combined. Oh how times have changed.

    Second and third favorite NFL teams: Whomever is playing the Cowboys or Raiders.

    Funny thing was that during the famous NFC Championship game where SF beat Dallas on the Joe Montana to Dwight Clark pass, I was rooting for the Cowboys. My dad was a big DC fan so I followed him. Then they sacked Tom Landry. He's hated them with a passion ever since.

    Again, how times have changed.

    I was born and raised in the Bay Area, CA.... grew up during the age of Montana and Young dominance, due to these circumstances.... I'm legally required to root for the niners until the day I die.

    I met my husband when i was 18 (im now 30)and he loved the Giants so i too grew to love the Giants. However I think my hate for the Dallas Cowboys is almost as strong as my love for the Giants , i just LOVE to HATE them!! It's fun too especially b/c i live in Dallas.

    I grew up not far from Minneapolis rooting for the Vikings. Living in AZ I also now follow and root for the Cardinals but the Vikings are still my favorite team.

    ^^^ I remember during a summer visit seeing tv commercials in Nebraska saying "Come to Canada and see Johnny run" in reference to NU great Johnny Rogers decision to play football in Canada.

    The Rams. Every time I think of the Rams winning the Superbowl several years back I thank Bill Bidwell for moving the Cardinals to Arizona.

    Does the CFL still have 2 teams called the Rough Riders?

    I hear that when/if the Bills move to Toronto it's going to all but kill the CFL.

    Though I haven't watched CFL in years.. (is there still TWO Rough Riders???).. I was always an Edmonton Eskimoes fan. I remember watching Warren Moon tear it up..

    Oh and for Aussie Rules, I'm a diehard Essendon Bombers fan..

    NCAA.. Oklahoma Sooners, even tho the Heimlich was renamed the Stoopslich Maneuver..

    Arenaball has my only regional loyalty with the Arizona Rattlers..

    I think that covers all the football possibilities.. (no, soccer don't count)

    Still, none touch the love I have for my Steelers!

    NFL: New England Patriots. Tom Brady is my favorite player.

    College: Michigan Wolverines.

    I grew up and live in Los Angeles, but Michigan was where I wanted to go to school. Unfortunately, life had different plans, so I ended up not going. Still keep an eye on them every football season, though.

    I'm following the Chiefs in the 20th year of Carl Peterson's 5-year plan to get them back to the Super Bowl.

    Actually, I'm hoping Missouri lives up to its pre-season promise in college football.
