I've never settled on an NFL team.

Moved to Nashville 2 years ago and decided I was going to root for the Titans, but then they did the typical 'steal money from the taxpayers to give to rich owners' deal with government subsidies for their multi-billion dollar new stadium. F@#$ 'em! Won't root for them now. Plus, they are so incompetently run - they let Josh Dobbs walk to keep Malik f'in Willis.

I'm rooting for the Cardinals and Josh Dobbs this year. I know they probably won't make the playoffs, but I don't care.

And I'll root for a different team next year. And the next. Just don't have any real loyalty to any NFL team.

VFL every day of the week. I root for the Steelers on Sundays though for my wife although I’m no where near as invested.

Redskins. That's what they'll always be to me

Tell me who is your NFL team and why?


Figured the bye week was a good time to ask this.

I’m a Tennessee Volunteer on Saturday and a Detroit Lion on Sunday.

Born in Michigan but we moved to Knoxville when I was 2.
Probably would have become a Titan fan if they had existed back in the 70’s, but instead I started following the Lions unfortunately.

I blame the Titans for some of the struggles of the Vols. This due to UT winning a title in 99 and the Titans followed with their only Super Bowl appearance the following year. It felt like a lot of the state’s pride was taken from the Volunteers. Hell, sometimes I even rooted against our favorite son when the Colts were playing the Titans.. Some time in the mid 2010’s, I decided that I had enough passion for the Vols only. Now that I only follow the Vols, I’m as happy about football as ever. I don’t let the Titans’ disfunction bring me down. I don’t let their success distract me from the Vols’ struggles either. I’m just a die hard Vol these days.

Former Colts fan on Sundays, until Peyton left, then I kinda soured on NFL fandom. I’ll usually pick an upstart team for the year to root for (this year I picked the Lions, also rooted for the browns, dolphins, bengals, and bills in the past), but nothing serious.

I wonder if I would have been a Titans fan if they were around when I was a kid growing up in Knoxville back in the 70’s?

I like to tune in to games that have our Vols playing in on Sundays. I will be watching the Vikings until Dobbs moves one. Heck Dobbs might set a record for throwing a TD for the most NFL teams at this rate.

Welcome to the Lions, hope we get you to stick around longer than a year.

I'm Tennessee across the board for sports.

Vols for all college athletics, Titans, Grizzlies, Predators. And so long as they're not playing the Vols, I like seeing MTSU do well.

Professional baseball is far too slow of a sport for me to have any real care for it, but since the Braves are always the team shown on the Ballys network or whatever, I guess they'd be the MLB team if I had to pick one.
