  4. I'm watching you dude! I commend you on finding a lifetime fanship. Of course, I reccomend my NY Giants. Were a loyal fan base, through thick and thin. Our media is very rabid but we're honest. We won Super Bowl 42 over the previously undefeated Patriots. Eli Manning is our franchise guy. He's not accurate but he's a big play guy, you can trust him and our defense. I hope you choose the G-Men.

  6. Just watched you on "First Take" .... like the fact that you're a Bama fan (Roll Tide), and for the record I too need an NFL team to cheer for.... just not the same when you don't have a "real" team.

  8. Just caught your interview on ESPN..... just want to let you know we Eagles fans are the absolute best in the business.... we'd love to have you, but only if you can handle being an Eagles fan. We are a vicous passionate fan base and it takes a lot of energy and time to be a true fan. take a look at our team history and know that it has been since 1960 that we have won an NFL championship, yet we're still the top fan base in the league, think about it.

  10. Hey.. Just turned on my TV and it was on ESPN from last night... saw you on there and was really impressed. Good luck on your search!! As for my recommendation, Go Steelers!! No one can beat the loyalty of the Rooneys and how they treat their team, fans and city. I only lived in Pittsburgh for 2 years and became a fan for life no matter where I am living. Don't judge this season so far... we are always late season bloomers!

  11. dude...be a cincinatti bengals fan! coolest looking jerseys and nothing like cheering for the underdog and then they finally when. you have to be a true fan to stick with them, are you up for it?

  12. Become a titan fan. You sound like a southern dude and i hear you talking about the bills on first take and that would be your first mistake. They dont have any promising talent, and there always about a 7-9 8-8 team. I know your talking about ups and downs too but they seem to be stuck in between every year unless its losing four straight super bowls. The titans on the other hand have already been to a super bowl in there first ten years of being an NFL Franchise! That means they are relatively new, but also have a very strong fan base already. So you know they aint blackin out our games. Good luck with the decision but i would even go lions over bills. They are more promising. They do have an x titan coach as there head coach too ; )

  14. I just watched your appearance on ESPN First Take and I have to say that I am impresed with how you carried yourself. I am a die-hard Green Bay Packer fan and if you are looking for a team with a lot of wonderful NFL history, then the Packers are your choice. The fans are so down to earth, open-minded, football smart and all seem to stick behind their team no matter what. I hope your decision goes well and I wish you luck!

  15. Come to arrowhead 1 time we park in N-42 jello shots and bbq! youll never go back 2 any other taem

  16. WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA GET OUR FAN? WHO DAT? Honestly, the Saints are the best there is. We don't have the most storied history, but we've triumphed over natural disaster, and face it, we live in the best city there is. Picture this, you hit up a game, walk a few blocks, and bam there's Bourbon St. You can sip hand grenades after cheering your team on and have fun enjoying the biggest party city in the US. GEAUX SAINTS!! I trust you'll make the correct choice.

  17. Hey i just got done watching you on First Take, I really think you should check out the Bengals. Even on bad years which is alot, the fans are always there for them. Go and check out how loyal our fans are http://www.bengals.com/fanzone/index.html.........
    We have good players including one of the best fan friendly player to watch (Ochocinco. Come check out your new team...... Dont forget WHO DEY

  18. You need the Minnesota Vikings and they need you! This is the best time to get on board, right before the Vikings get the 1st Superbowl win for the franchise. Can't miss with all the excitement about the addition of Favre and the games VS. the Pack this year. Hop on the bandwagon before it fills up!

  19. I watched your interview on 1st take and understand where you're coming from. With all the NFL big markets, places like Alabama and the western US don't have a local team to root for.

    Anyways you should become a Green Bay Packers fan. There's no other experience that compares to it. The people who live in the city of Green Bay own the team and stadium, which creates a sense of pride that's 2nd to none. Every home game in Green Bay has been sold out for almost 40 years!

    If you would like to hear more about the Green Bay Packers, just let me know!

    Good Luck With your search,
    Kyle

  20. Bro you for sure need to come to philly. No fans in the country love their teams more than Philly fans. we're passionate and we do not accept being a lowly lions type team. We've been the class of the NFC for this entire decade. 5 NFC championship game appearences and 1 Super Bowl, and think about this: apart from the T.O year in 2004, who has McNabb had to pass to? Tod Stinkston? James Trash? He's the number one qb in the NFC all decade. And if you want longevity, the eagles front office has done a great job bringing in young talent for the future. McCoy for Westbrook..Jackson is the big play threat we been praying for..give Maclin a year or two..Brent Celek has turned into a great receiving TE..and McNabb would be playing if it weren't for a bull shit late hit tht didnt even get called. Then on D we've been scary for years. Sure we lost Jim Johnson but Mcdermit was under Johnson for years and our players know how to play the game. If you really want a team to love and be passionate about, and you want to be able to root for them come January, come to Philly. The fans may boo the players when they deserve it, but they'll never boo a fellow Eagles fanatic

  21. How can you go wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Not only are they the defending Super Bowl Champs, but they have more Super Bowls (6) than any other team. Plus they are always in contention year after year. There is not a classier organization in the NFL. So go out, buy some Black and Gold, and get ready for a 7th Super Bowl ring!!

  22. We bills fans are a hardy group, as we suffer with our team. Each monday you can tell if it was a loss or win, by the look on the face. It will look up as we are building an offensive line. i'm optimistic for the future for whoever the coach is.

  23. SWF, if you can catch, or throw, or run, or block, or cover, or tackle, you can be more than just a fan here in St. Louis. Help us, please!!

  24. Hey, just got done watching you on ESPN First Take and I have to say I love the idea of campaigning for a team to love as a fan. Personally, I'm always the one to throw my two cents in and I can't pass up the opportunity to tell you why my Colts are the team to pick. When the Colts first came to Indiana I'm not sure anyone thought it was a good choice after leaving Baltimore, but as time has passed by its become apparent that the Colts have turned the Hoosier state into much more than just a basketball loving tradition. The Colts have actually started to turn some of the "Go Big Red" chants into "Go Big Blue". At this moment we are arguably one of the most exciting teams in sports to watch and compete for the Super Bowl every year. Our rivalry with the Patriots is one of the most passionate in the NFL. No doubt that a lot of this recent success is due to Peyton Manning but with Bill Polian as president I don't see the future being much different. We have the nicest stadium in the NFL (sorry Cowboys fan, but our TV doesn't get in the way) and the rowdiest fans (we're so LOUD we got accused of cheating - who can say that). We we're the first team to beat all other 31 teams and the first to have cheerleaders/marching band. And with a history of players and faces such as Unitas, Manning, Harrison, Harbaugh, Dickerson, Faulk, James, and Dungy what's not to love. Our logo hasn't changed since the last ice age - why fix something if it aint broke. And if you wanna know why the Colts - listen to our broadcaster Bob Lamey (1070 the fan) and tell me that isn't passion. We may not win every year but we put ourselves into position to come close and sometimes pull off a Super Bowl Championship. The real question is - do you have what it takes to be an Indianapolis Colts Fan?

  25. I am big colts fan and there are colts fan all over states! We are not as huge as Steelers fan based but its growing! Go Colts! Good luck on your search! Once, you find a team,stay with them,don't jump from team to team,just cuz they win a superbowl!

  26. Just heard about this on ESPN and I think it's a pretty cool idea. I only started getting into football about 8 years ago, I watched the Jets with Chad Pennington and Herm Edwards and the character and energy of those guys is what sold me. We've had our share of struggles, but it's been a fun team to watch, a good group of guys to root for, and they've inspired me to gain more knowledge and appreciation of the game. I'm extremely happy with my decision, and I hope you find a team that makes you just as proud to be a fan. Best of luck to you.

  27. the titans fan on here is retarded he said they went to a super bowl in their first 10 years as a franchise when in reality they've been a franchise since the 60's. The ex Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers and the current Tennessee Titans are the same franchise

  28. This is kind of a cheesy way of going about finding an NFL team and kind of deteriorates the meaning of the word fan. In fact I don't think you would deserve to be part of the best fans in the world, WHODAT NATION is probably to good for you. ;) So, I think you should be a Falcons fan. You do seem to be a rather intelligent person and their fan base could use a little boost in their average IQ. :D

  29. You gotta be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. We are the greatest fans in the world. Where the Steelers play we follow them loyally. Join Steeler nation and our 6 super bowl rings.

  30. There's nothin better than celebrating a championship 25 years in the making. i.e the Philadelphia Phillies finally got Philly off the shnide and brought the city its first championship since the Sixers in '83. I can tell you from experience it was the happiest day of my life. Imagine that with an Eagles championship 50 years in the making. If and when, and it will happen, the Eagles fnally win their first Super Bowl, there will be no greater feeling than being an Eagles fan. When that day comes Pittsburgh hicks from the other side of the state will wish they were Eagles fans. No championship from any other team in this country in any sport would bring about a better celebration and elated feeling. Clevlands full of a punch of pansies that dont know real passion. They think they've sufford, well so has Philly. We got a taste of a championship last October, the city went NUTS! That celebration would be 50 times greater if it were a celebration for our beloved E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!

  31. Nice idea. Just wanted to say War Eagle!

  32. I know it sounds silly these days but trust me, the Kansas City Chiefs have the greatest fan base in the country. We have suffered greatly but had our bright moments, but it's going to make it all the sweeter when we finally do win another Super Bowl. Trust me, you'll want to be a part of it when it happens.

    We have an amazing stadium- Arrowhead packed on a Sunday is unparalleled. Having the loudest outdoor stadium in the league is unbelievable, there's so much passion and energy radiating in that place- you have to be there and sit in the "Red Sea" (which is NO exaggeration, trust me) to understand The parking lot is immense, which is great for the best tailgating around. Please, make the trip out there at some point.

    There are rivalries that are not only intense, but OLD... The Raiders and Chiefs have been at each others' throats for decades, since the old AFL. That loyalty and history is there in everything this team does, and in everything the fans do. The seats at Arrowhead will be filled no matter what this team's record is.

    We're rebuilding, and it's tough to be a fan right now, but it will all pay off- we have the framework of a dynasty going on.

    I can honestly say, I LOVE being a Chiefs fan, even today. You need to come and be one of us, and share that love!

  33. If you need to be persuaded to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan then we don't want you!

Let me hear your thoughts on who is the right (or wrong) team for me. In order to keep SWF family friendly, please avoid the use of profanity.
