Became a fan of Tampa Bay when I saw those creamsicle jerseys for the first time when I was like 8 or 9.

Jerseys had me like :gladbron: :leon: :heh:. Then seein' Sapp, Lynch, and Brooks on that Defense had me hooked to this team. Been with them ever since.

Seeing them again, only thing wrong with them was Bucco Bruce's Pirates of the Caribbean ass staring at you the whole damn time winking :facepalm:

Bring 'em back but fix the logo.

Born and raised in NJ, about 5 miles from GIANTS STADIUM and about 10 miles from NYC.

Saw LT ( THE REAL LT) play in the early 80s as a kid and LOVED football and the Giants ever since...I cried when they lost to the Bears in the 85 playoffs....was devastated....then LT went on to win NFL MVP and the Super Bowl the next year as the Giants went 14-2 and dominated the league.

Saints fan, not from the mainland (West Indies FTW), I started getting back into football and Sticky Ricky was balling out, They had Jeff "Bomber" Blake and played tough D (or so we thought) so I jumped on the bandwagon :dj: then we got rid of Blake and got Aaron Brooks, lived through the ups and downs of him, Deuce (my second favorite saint).
It's funny I wanted to get Mike Sherman to coach after Haslett got fired, but man did we dodge a bullet. And Breesus came and brought us to the glory land, for that I'll forever be thankful.

76ers AI was my favorite player, kept following them after he turned trick

Steelers. My dad worked for the steel mill and this was the logo. So I'd see it when the mail came.

So when I was 7 or 8 I remember it was Thanksgiving or some holiday and my dad was at work but the Steelers were on TV. Using kid logic, I thought my dad played for the Steelers, lol. He is a big dude.

After I really started getting into the sport, it just stuck. I always liked the smash mouth style of football too.

Always rooted for the Giants and the Bills growing up, I don't know why, probably because of the similar colors and that they were both NY teams. Eventually just decided to roll with the Giants exclusively as I got older.

I don't know why but I never even thought about being a jets fan :whew: everything about them just rubbed me the wrong way.

I did chose to be a Mets fan, because, they had the New Orleans Zephyrs as a farm team, but, I don't know 'bout that too much...

I'm not too big of a MLB fan, but, I still claim the Mets:smugfavre: they'll get it together, one day
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.

:childplease:

I've asked before, and didn't get an answer, but; what's your beef with the Saints?

Their fans are fraudulent and the coach is a D-bag.

A very arrogant team, I rooted for them hardcore in the SB though. But ever since then I noticed their arrogance is unparallelled, Belichik level scumbaggery. Running it up 63-7 on the helpless Colts last year, then the bounty shyt.

fukk em, and their fans. The ones who didn't exist pre-Brees

Followed my Dad.

He was a Jets fan but when they moved to Jersey he threw them in the bushes and became a fan of their biggest rival, the Dolphins.

And when I got older started to get into sports I became a Phins fan because my Dad was.
