The Gr8est

Two teams that I respect because they seem to build their teams like the Pats is Carolina and San Diego. Last year the Chargers fans were generally well behaved when visiting here before our game and even after when they waxed us so bad.

I really despise Denver but I have to give them kudos for how they handled the draft this year...absolutely oustanding with their trades and picks.

My second team has always been the Saints. Not sure why, but I am excited about this season now that Aaron Brooks is gone.

I'll agree with that. And they scared the ****** out of me in the Super Bowl.

I guess I think of it as respect. The Steelers don't overspend, they're consistent and they're tough.

I don't really like or dislike anyone, but I have a healthy respect for certain rivals.

The Bungles have a ways to go before they earn my respect, although I do like their coach.

Pat, at the risk of insulting your intelligence, you do understand the theme of this thread, right?

There are a number of teams I hold some admiration for.

The Giants being one. The NFL wouldn't be the NFL without the Giants.

The Steelers. I give them respect. I think they deserve it.

The Bengals.

The Packers. Again, essential to the NFL. Great history.

The Chargers. Don't really know why.

Bill's Girl

My mom grew up as a Giants fan because their games were broadcast up here before the Patriots came into the league in 1960. She is the one who taught me football, so I have always kept an eye on the Giants out of homage to my mom and grandfather. An added bonus was that cute defensive coordinator the Giants had in the 1980's....... The first time I remember seeing him was when the Giants won the NFC Championship game against the Niners sending them to SB 21. He was in that red satin Giants jacket with a towel around the back of his neck tucked into the collar of his jacket. He was up on the shoulders of LT and I think Harry Carson, don't quote me on him though. Anyway, he had this incredible happy smile on his face, unlike the smug smile on Tuna's face. I remember thinking how cute this guy was......I was 13 at the time! Who knew that cute guy would bring MY team to the promised land 15 years later!

Grudging admiration for the Steelers, the coach, the ownership, their style. Had some college friends from there. Decent fans.

OTOH, I grew up in Philly. Know a few Iggles fans. I truly enjoyed SB39.
