Living in North Carolina for 5 years as a kid. Carolina didn't have a football team, I saw the Stelers vs. Cowboys .........I liked Tony Dorsett, the rest is history.
Colts, Pats, Saints fans need to just say "When we got Manning, Brady and Brees" and keep it simple here.
As for me, I started liking the 49ers because my dad raised me as a Giants fan and I was about 4 or 5 and I remember the Giants lost a game to the Vikings, at that point I told my dad I was done with the Giants and been a 49ers fan ever since.
That NFC championship game where Montana got hurt, that one killed me as a kid.

saw mcnabb play in 01', was a fan of his/eagles ever since
I just love black Quarterbacks period (n/h) and McNabb was one of the first ones who I felt had the total package (passing, evasiveness, scrambling). Plus I as a huge fan of Brian Westbrook already, when they got T.O. it was basically icing on the cake. Been an Eagles fan since I turned 13 and haven't looked back since

Hometown team, all I ever remember is rooting for the Bears
As a youngster back in like '98 I met Marshall Faulk when he was a Colt, so I started to kinda like them. Then he got traded to the Rams and that was a wrap, fell in love with the team.
Before I met him I don't think I ever watched a football game in my life.

I was actually a HUGE Redskins fan since I was 6....my first Super Bowl my dad let me watch some of it and John Riggins broke that 4th and 1 for a TD and Red was my favorite color at the time, so, it was a natural fit.
My dad was from Penn, so he was a Steelers/Pirates fan, didn't root for the local New England teams, so I wasn't being pushed by him to be a fan of the Pats.
By 4th grade though, it became conflicting, when they made that run to the Super Bowl and got hammered by the Bears. All my friends were on me about the Redskins, etc.
I slowly transitioned over, but even through the early 90's I followed them both. Still had my Redskins Starter Jacket back in 1992.
By the mid 90's I made the full switch, because I was a big Red Sox and Celtics fan already.
Still always keep and eye on the Redskins though.

NC never had a football team so I just casually watched, in 95 the Jaguars and Panthers came into the league
When we played Madden 95 we would put in the code to play with the Jags and Panthers...everybody wanted to be the Panthers so I was stuck with the Jaguars...when christmas came around I picked out a Jaguars jacket and I've been down ever since.
Looking back thats a random ass way to pick a team

I became a fan OF THE EAGLES when Mike Vick got outta prison, Andy Reid gave him a try, and Vick played lights out in 2010. It was miraculous! I dig a great redemption story.
