What NFL or Collage team Do You Follow?
 
Being from Wisconsin I'm a die-head cheese head Packer fan and Badger fan.
I can't wait for the pigskin to start flying around.

What's your favorite home team?

tophcfa 08-16-2022 03:24 PM

The Patriots and even though they suck, the UMASS Minutemen.

I envy the author. The "Pack" does more with less than just about any other team in the NFL.

I on the other hand have suffered through the purgatory of being a Vikings fan ever since their first (astonishing) victory over the monsters of the midway in 1961 (their inaugural season) and its been downhill ever since.

Stu from NYC 08-16-2022 03:37 PM

Jets and Giants

DITTO on above!!!

ElDiabloJoe 08-16-2022 04:32 PM

USC. The real one, not the one with the laughable gamecock mascot. I don't watch NFL because I refuse to add money into the pockets of a mass group of felons.

YMMV.

Tom52 08-16-2022 04:46 PM

GB Packers and Iowa Hawkeyes.

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 08-16-2022 04:49 PM

I was born and raised just outside of Boston so I follow The Patriots. I think they're going to surprise everyone this year.

I don't get following college sports. You might as well watch minor leagues. I understand if you're from a place that doesn't have professional sports but why watch a bunch of kids play when you can watch the best in the world.

I don't follow high school or Pop Warner football either.

Davonu 08-16-2022 05:24 PM

College - Go Gators!!
Pro - Bucs and Browns

Taltarzac725 08-16-2022 06:01 PM

University of Nevada-Reno and the San Francisco 49ers.

JMintzer 08-16-2022 08:05 PM

I grew up being a die hard Redskins fan, but I gave up on them long before they became the "WFT"/"Commanders"...

Ever since my youngest daughter entered the Univ of GA, I've become an avid Bulldog fan.. 9 years now...

Go Dawgs!

I do not understand the Browns choice of their new qb.

I’m hopeful, but I know what you mean.

My Browns loyalty has survived some pretty tough times. (Understatement anybody?!? :D) I’m gonna hang in there. :)

Rwirish 08-17-2022 04:54 AM

NIL and the transfer portal has ruined college football. Goodbye to the game we knew.

Accidental1 08-17-2022 05:21 AM

Here we go Steelers, here we go!

jamorela 08-17-2022 05:35 AM

Steelers forever!

Halbraun 08-17-2022 05:43 AM

This is worse than any political thread! Gooooo Gators!
Pros I kind of follow where I’ve lived…. SF 49’ers, Vikings, Bucs..

(Funny how I hated Tom Brady until he started playing for the Bucs)

rrtjp 08-17-2022 05:46 AM

The Bills
I was born and raised in Buffalo

gettingby 08-17-2022 05:50 AM

Gators 1st, any team in the SEC 2nd because following any other teams is a waste of time.

Die hard Browns fan, I'm not happy with the owners decision on this one. I'll hang with you, my husband is pretty angry, but I think he'll peek at the games

What NFL or College Team Do You Follow
 
After nearly 50 years I gave up being a NFL fan and opted for college teams. I find it disgusting that athletes are paid millions per game (Ex: Josh Allen of the Bills receives about $2.3 million/game) and yet refuse to salute the flag or recite the anthem of the very country that made such obscene salaries possible. NFL management is just as bad either by now keeping players in their locker rooms while the anthem is being played, or not broadcasting the anthem moment, so that no one notices blatant player disrespect. I cannot endorse any of this behavior by tuning in. Shame on all of them.

GO PACK GO! as for college football, do I have to..... really not a fan of it any more, but most of all aside from hating the Bears.... I include ALL Florida teams Pro and not.

Ginsanders 08-17-2022 06:53 AM

How about a big Roll Tide? Go Bama!! Legally they are a college team, but play like pros. If you watch NFL you watch Alabama players!
We show Alabama Crimson Tide games live each week at Lake Sumter movie theater for $5! Roll tide!

Villages Kahuna 08-17-2022 06:56 AM

Go Blue!!

missibu@gmail.com 08-17-2022 07:08 AM

Go blue
 
Die heart Wolverine fan I bleed maize and blue as far as pro for obvious reasons I follow whatever team Tom Brady plays for oh and the laughable and embarrassing Detroit Lions 😉

DAnder2829 08-17-2022 07:17 AM

The NY/NJ Giants

Fredman 08-17-2022 07:19 AM

Go Bearcats and Steelers

Brandttax 08-17-2022 07:33 AM

From Green Bay, so Packers and Badgers.

Heytubes 08-17-2022 07:33 AM

Dawgs rule!!!

Jimjane 08-17-2022 07:36 AM

I more of a college fan than NFL. Go Badgers.

True, though the Gophers in recent years have shown signs that they're finally shaking off that half-a-century-and-more slump that they've been in ever since the days of Murray Warmath.

I agree about political knee takers ruining pro football. college football much more of a team sport. Ohio State Buckeyes the best- great tradition, great marching band, dotting the eye best ritual in all sports. Never see anybody ever disgracing our flag in Ohio stadium. Pro football full of self centered felons, strictly out for themselves. Overtime rules suck! Exceptions are great individuals- Joe Burrow, emerging greatness, Tom Brady, greatest in history, Jj Watt, selfless, great player and noble person. Owners and the Commish are ********!
