Re: Why do you support your team?

Because I want to. I am a 3rd generation Dolphins fan so it runs in the family.

They are just my team. No Super Bowl wins and only a handful of playoff appearances, but I love my Seahawks and hope I see a Super Bowl win in my lifetime.

Re: Why do you support your team?

I became Cardinals fan the second Kurt Warner signed with them(so, yes I was a Giants fan until they benched him(He did keep putting the chuches money on the ground)).I was a huge Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk fan but once Marshall retired, I was just a Kurt Warner fan.

As I got older and more interested in the NFL I started watching all the highlights on Sundays. Which led to me reading and updating everything about the Cardinals so I know every player and coach on the team(Practice Squad excluded). So I fell in love with the Cardinals, the players, and coaches which made me fall in love with the NFL.

So Kurt basically abandon me and left me as a Cardinals fan. But Im loving every minute being one(except the losing).

Re: Why do you support your team?

The reasoning behind my teams is kind of weird. I was born in Connecticut while my mother and father were living there for a while as my whole mother's family is from Boston. So with the "pride" of being born out east I always loved all the teams, also my mom LOVED every Boston team.

So I grew up liking the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, and Bruins.

But, we moved to Wisconsin when I was about 1. And my father was from Wisconsin. So I also grew up loving the Packers, Brewers, University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee athletics.

So thats why I like all of those teams. I am a Florida fan because I did a Road to Glory with them back in the first NCAA game where that mode came in, 06 I think. Then the next year Tebow came in and I loved, love him.

I like the Memphis tigers in NCAA basketball because I really like Calipari back in the Memphis days. Now I hate him lol, but still love Memphis.

And finally, I am an Oregon Ducks fan because back in NCAA 2003 I played a dynasty with them that I continued forever. Ever since then I was a big fan, and loved there jerseys haha.

I will always be a Packer fan first, then Patriots.

Re: Why do you support your team?

Because the Cowboys are like me: all glitz and glamor on the outside and all effed up and dysfunctional on the inside.

Re: Why do you support your team?

Because my family does. I grew up liking the Broncos because of them, and this hasn't changed. I liked them when I moved to AZ, and I still like them now that I moved back to CO. It's actually nice to be surrounded by Broncos fans.

(We lived in Austin) My first exposure to the NFL was in 1^st grade when I started hearing everyone talking about the Super Bowl. Naturally I was interested, and when the Redskins beat Denver, I had my team.

A few years later, we moved to Houston, and my interest in sports was growing. We had local teams in all of the major sports, and I started to understand what it meant to rot for the home team. I became a big Rockets and Astros fan. I liked the Oilers a little bit too, but the Skins were still #1 in my heart. I still remember going crazy when Ian Howfield missed that FG to give the Skins a chance to beat the Oilers in OT.

Then two things happened, the Oilers left town and Daniel Snyder took over the Redskins. I lost a lot of interest in the NFL when that happened. I still followed casually and the Skins were my team of choice, but it was all more of an afterthought than anything else.

Even when the Texans were created, I wasn’t really all that interested. I was still sour on the NFL, I thought the team name was goofy, and they had no history. I wasn’t into them at all until the games started. Once I saw them out there playing and representing Houston, my fan instincts took over. Been a die hard Texans fan eve since. I still have a soft spot in my heart for the Redskins; they’ll always be my #2. Too bad neither of them can win any damn thing!
