Started following NFL in the late 80s. Loved watching the Bengals players James Brooks and Ickey Woods so decided to support the Bengals.

Some day I will know which team I support as I will feel it in my heart (not to be confused with gut).

Tip with the heart week wouldn't work. There's never going to be a week where all the teams you hate lose.
Jump on the Browns. That'll fit quite nicely with your Saints membership.
 
Go Falcons JB, you and Riggy deserve each other
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Short version - Um, pre-emptive bandwagon.
The future looked brighter behind a 23 year old Matt Ryan than a 37 year old Kurt Warner.

Long version -
Started following the NFL in 2006 when I heard about Ben Graham being a captain for the Jets. Didn't enjoy watching them.
Played Madden 07 and thought Patriots with Moss would be amazing so went to New England. Nek minnut, 16-0. I'm not joining a bandwagon.
2008 I moved onto the Eagles due to Saverio Rocca. Still couldn't enjoy it so decided to pick a team that year about mid year and just stick with them.

Came down to Arizona and Atlanta. Everyone said go Arizona. But I saw no future after Warner left, so I went Atlanta.
 
Juggalo Balla picks Atlanta........Nek minnut
"Detroit Lions. Was a Falcons fan, but I hated our own fan base so couldn't stick with them anymore. Loved Kellen Moore so went Detroit"
 
Got given a Raiders jersey for x mas in about 1989 as a youngish lad....wondered what this sport was all about, bought an NFL almanac and looked up the history of the Raiders. Gave me a 'Port Adelaide' feeling, so was a good fit.

Now we have been s**t for a decade, but once we choose, no turning back.
Fck it :(

Sounds almost like Port.
Maybe Raiders will turn it around in 2 years and go from worst in the league to good?
 
I went with Arizona because I liked the Kurt Warner story and Larry Fitzgerald, and their stadium.
Boise owns that stadium :cool:
I think we opened it o_O
Or did you play there in the 06 season?
 
Fantasy football made me choose the Packers, it was nearly the colts though due to Peyton Manning, then watched a Packers vs Steelers game (I think it was a Wildcard game? or the last game of the season) and "A a ron" sealed the deal.

Detroit is a bigger hole than Cleveland. They only have a roof because it was paid for pre-GFC.
