- For the 4th year in a row, Dallas Cowboys are the most popular team, with Pittsburgh coming in 2nd.
- Jacksonville Jaguars are the least popular team in America.
- Proving that bandwagons do exist, the Arizona Cardinals jumped from #24 to #16.
- I'm actually surprised that the Bears came in at #3, ahead of New England, both New York teams, and the Packers.
- The Titans made the biggest jump, going from #25 to #9.
- Only 51% of the participants surveyed claim to follow the NFL. I have a hard time grasping that half of our country cares nothing about sports.
- The results of the poll on this site have absolutely no correlation to the results of the Harris Poll.

I have always been a strong believer in being loyal to the teams in and near to your hometown. I cant stand to see someone pulling for a team just because they happen to be having a good season (bandwagon jumpers). I am from the same area as you and I read the article in the Times Daily about your search for a team. With that being said, I think you should choose a team that is the closest to were you were raised (hometown). The nearest NFL teams for you probably are the Tennessee Titans and the Atlanta Falcons. I dont recall exactly were you were raised (I know its in North AL.)so I dont know which is closer, but my guess would be the Titans. I hope I helped a little bit. Good Luck.
