Fans at Wembley Stadium will be cheering for the Patriots or Buccaneers even though they are fans of the Dallas Cowboys or San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a fact that makes the annual Wembley game such a colourful occasion.
That, and a similar discussion on 5 Live Breakfast this week, had me wondering if I could support a second team in the NFL. My Miami Dolphins hardly look like Super Bowl contenders so it was well worth considering.
So I enlisted the help of NFL UK's outstanding new website and used the interactive team picker in the hope of being assigned either the Pats or Bucs for the weekend. I used it to randomly select my new 'second team.' After answering a series of questions based on my sporting preferences as a sports fan, my gut instincts and a random selection, I was offered a choice of the Washington Redskins, New York Giants and Green Bay Packers.
Go Giants! You are now officially my second-favourite team in the NFL. So who will you be supporting this weekend and why?
