Don't most NFL fans pick their team because of location...at first? I am a Panthers fan, and have been since 1995, when I lived in North Carolina (not extremely close to Charlotte btw).
I don't think anything bad about folks from Tennessee who like the Titans. If you don't have a team, and then one comes along to represent your state, why not support them? I guess I'd call the Titans my team in the AFC, though I don't piss and moan when they lose, like I do for the Panthers.

The game that cemented my fandom for the Skins was the Superbowl against the Dolphins when I was a lad of 11.

That was cold man. :lol:

BTW we appreciated that 2nd for Jason Taylor last year and the 6th this year. Too bad we wasted that 2nd round pick on Pat White. :biggrin:

not really worth the argument. Just keep calling Colts fans "handicapped Indianapolis bandwagoners" and believing that the Oilers are TN's team

That makes no sense whatsoever. The only reason i root for the titans is because they ARE Tennessee's team, and i live in TN. They've sold out every game including preseason since they came to nashville. Seems to me Tennessee's adopted them pretty well. What the hell's wrong with being a homer? As for calling them the Oilers, well that's really just stupid. Whenever we play the colts, you don't hear me saying "well, we're playing baltimore again." The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans, so by your logic, they aren't Kansas City's team and their name isn't really the chiefs, it's the Texans.

The point is, we Colts get tired of being accused of being Colts fans just because Peyton. But the only reason most Titans fans are fans is because they now reside in Tennessee. So what is the difference if someone is a fan of a team because of one player and because a certain team happens to play in one's home state?

Realistically the Titans have been in town long enough and produced a good enough product that the people of middle TN can call it their own and I won't have a problem with it.

I'll just continue to call the team "the Oilers" when I want to make fun of them. :)

For me personally, it's just a state pride thing, i root for all teams from Tennessee, regardless of sport, college, or professionally.

I personally don't care if people root for the colts, even if it is because of manning, i'd be a hypocrite if i said i had a problem with it, because the only reason i root for the Cavs(except when they play the Grizzlies) is because of LeBron James. My problem with that post was simply the fact that he said the Titans weren't Tennessee's Pro team, and they are.

People are gonna root for who they want to. I just don't see what's so bad about people like myself who root for the hometown team.

One thing that surprises me about that poll is that there is only one vote for the steelers. I thought this board was infested with steeler fans, pretty much like everywhere else in the U.S.

So why do you have the Cavs as a favorite team instead of the Griz?

If I'm watching Steve Nash, I'm rooting for the suns. But win Kobe has the ball, I wanna see something spectacular. Then I wanna see a oop to Stoudamire from SteveyCanada. Then I wanna watch Dwight dunk on KGar, and Ray Ray bust one on Peitrus. All kinds of "fan-laws" being broken there. Who cares?

Da Colts... not a big fan of the Titans, although I do admire Coach Fisher.
