Seattle Seahawks since the inception of the franchise in 1976.

Many lean years, but 2013 is a great time to be a 12th Man!

I have been a Dolphins fan since 1984, Dan Marino was my hero and I even named my first born son after him. Miami still has a shot at the playoffs.

Oilers fan since early '80's and they moved to be closer to me...Titans fan. Have some affection for the Falcons secondary to playing for Head Coach Mike Smith in college.
Also a fan of whoever is playing the Cowboys or Steelers.

Redskins since my first memory because that's my local team. I don't get the Cowboys "fans" who have never been to Texas or why someone from Alabama would be a Patriots fan.
I get why someone from way up north would support GB or MINN and wht a Hawaiian would follow the Raiders.

Sunshine fans. If you're team is one or more states away chances are they are good and probably the only reason why you like them.

Dallas Cowboys.

Washington Redskins as long as I can remember. Growing up in lower Delaware we were in a combination of Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia television markets (there really wasn't any "local" tv) and the Colts left Baltimore very early in my life so there was no competition there. Never switched over to the Ravens because I don't like any of the Baltimore teams. My dad and one of my younger brothers are Eagles fans, my mom and younger sister are Cowboys fans, and my other younger brother is a Steelers fan. Sundays were interesting.

Can't speak for other Cowboys fans, but my mother has been a lifelong Cowboys fan because of my grandfather. He was a huge Redskins fan also and whenever he would watch football, he would tell my mom he didn't want a girl rooting for his team, she had to root for the other guys, haha. So he made her cheer for the Cowboys so he had someone to argue with during the games and she's been a Cowboys fan ever since.

Vikings my whole life.

I grew up going to the training camp every year...I have autographs and pictures with more Viking players and legends than I can being to imagine.

My favorites would include the picture of me with Cris Carter and Jake Reid, picture with Carl Eller, picture with Bud Grant, and autographs from Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Jake Reed, Robert Smith, Dante Culpepper, the entire purple people eaters, Paul Allen, Randall McDaniel, Kory Stringer, and way to many others to start....

I used to be a Vikings fan back in the early to mid 80's (along with being a Dolphins fan), I used to have a Darrin Nelson jersey. I cried when they lost the NFC Championship game to the Redskins.

Darrel was 36 when that happened. :D

I have been a fairweather fan of many teams when i was a youngling, in elementary I was a Cowboys fan really early, then when I got to about 4th grade I became a Raiders fan. I then quit watching football again, and at about 15, I became a broncos fan. I followed the broncos loosely till I was about 18. Then I pretty much dropped the NFL.

I occassionally watch the vikings (likely because that is the most advertised/easiest to find games in my area) but I don't really miss a step when they win or lose, its ok when they win, but i'm pretty apathetic.

I have been to a few NFL stadiums, and would like to see more, I take in MLB when I travel too, still couldn't care less about that. College Football will always be my main sport, that isn't changing. College Bball is fun to follow, but pretty far behind CFB.

Thats only true because New York fans like to live in the past. But what does any New York fan have to be happy about today? Their baseball teams suck, their football teams suck, their hockey teams suck, their basketball teams suck.... and oh yea, their pre season Atlantic Division favorites just lost by 41 at home to their hated rivals and the team most picked to finish dead last.

Grown up a Falcons fan.

It is a bit of a different atmosphere in the South for professional football. The Falcons draw well, but not many NFL franchises play in the second largest football stadium in their state. Heck, the Georgia dome is smaller than probably 5 or 6 college stadiums within a three hour drive of Atlanta.

So weird cheering and being sad at the same time. My emotions on those near picks were so confused.

I pull for the Ravens with Flacco and Gradkowski and the Falcons with Worrilow. Don't forget Mike Adams starting for Denver, Ronald Talley with Arizona, Anthony Walters in Chicago, and Pat Devlin as the third QB for Miami.

All that being said, MY team is and will always be the Seahawks. When he was with Oakland, I rooted for Rich Gannon to do well every week of the season except the two games between the 'Hawks and the Stinkin' Raiders.

xlolx Theirs. I was 12 when we got the the franchise. Before that, we were Redskins fans because 1) Duck Fallas and 2) my dad grew up with a guy that played for the Skins. With that said, once we got a local team, I switched to Panthers.

And doing quite well. The Ravens do a great job of finding players in FCS and d-2. They sort of have to because they very rarely get a real high draft pick.

Giants here. My grandfather had tickets from when they moved to NJ through 2004, so I was lucky enough to get to 7 games. Before 2007, I felt ready to not see them win a Super Bowl (as I was just over 3 months from birth when Wide Right '91 happened). Growing up in PA, I had to deal with Steelers and Eagles fans, making it easy to pick up the Ravens as a secondary team when going to UD. This year, I'm happy to follow Worrilow's stats, and hope he does well (as well as all other UD guys). My sister graduated HS with Chris Neild (NT on Redskins), but we just look for him on tv (no rooting since he's in the NFC East, and dumber than a sack of bricks).

Worrilow has crazy stats. He has an outside chance for Rookie of the Year. It's too bad the Falcons have underperformed this year.

Worrilow's had a good year. He got thrust into duty due to injury, but has certainly made the most of his time.

_allas Cowboys, just bought my "It's Jerry's Fault" t-shirt online, even though I know darn well, its people like me who keep buying tickets that is actually the problem............no matter how bad you hate the Cowboys, AT&T Stadium is a must see for any football fan. My family has not missed a Thanksgiving Day game in 12 years..........and I will uphold this tradition no matter how bad they continue to SUCK (you can do that when your school goes to the playoffs about once every 20 years)

Dolphins fan since 1988 (my uncle got me a Dolphins beanie for my 2nd bday). And then Miami started getting other sports franchises and my fandom followed (Heat, Marlins, Panthers), the early success theyve had helped with that as well. But through ALL of that success, a Dolphins Super Bowl win (or even an AFC title) would be the biggest thing in South FL and instantly outshine the two WS titles, three NBA titles, and Stanley Cup Final appearance.

Hell i wasnt even alive for the 1985 AFC title game and watching that on YouTube still pisses me off.

And just when everyone doubts the Pats again, they go into the defending champs house and steamroll the Ravens. Yet another AFC East title...yawn.

Seriously though, considering all of the injuries the Patriots have, and all they lost from last year, the fact they have 11 wins is amazing. The hooded one does it again.

Yawn indeed. That division is a joke, and the Pats are going nowhere in the playoffs without Gronk.

Cowboys fan since the day I was born.

I live in NH so I don't have any sort of home town team. The Pats are the closest but growing up they were never on in my house (or many houses due to black outs), but Dallas was on quite often. Between that and my Uncle I became a Cowboys fan as early as I can remember.

...and if anyone is wondering, I have indeed been to Texas. Been to both the old Texas Stadium and more recently Jerry's world.

Contemplating going down in 2015 when the Jets or Pats play to go with some people...

I am not taking away from their constant position in the playoffs, that is the goal. But no Super Bowl wins in quite some time. Brady's legacy is starting to diminish.

Been an "Iggles" fan since I was a 'youngin' (late '50's). Last Eagles game seen in person was at Franklin Field in 1962 when I got to see the great Jim Brown put a major hurt on the Birds. The Philly crowds are not 'family friendly' so I never even thought of exposing my kids to the mayhem at either the old Vet or current Linc. I root from the comfort of my family room every Sunday.

Rough year for the Falcons. One play from the Super Bowl to 4-12. Lost a ton of starters to injury, and lost a bunch of close games against a tough schedule. Had seven rookies on the field on defense last week against SF. Hard to win like that.

It pains me to say that I am virtually a lifelong Redskins fan but I still have a chance to come to my senses. We had a pretty good run through the 70's till the early 90's but then we were Snyderized. And all hope has been lost.
