15. I'm the same way with Joey Flacco and the Ravens

Not a Ravens fan but will cheer them on because of UDel graduate Joey Flacco.

I mean think about this - University Delaware isn't even DivI in the NCAA (they are Div 1-A) and yet we've had TWO of our Quarterbacks go on to win Superbowls (Flacco and Rich Gannon).

Pretty good for a small state.

We love Nick Foles here - the guy had one hell of a season - look at these states shared at the Philly Inquirer:

Foles finished with a passer rating of 119.1, which was the best passer rating in the NFL this season. It was also the 3rd best passer rating in the history of the NFL. According to the Eagles, Foles is the only player in NFL history to throw more than 20 TDs (he had 27) and 2 or fewer INTs. He also had the best TD:INT ratio (13.5 to 1). That is crazy for a guy who is only 24 and still learning the position.

And Shady McCoy is from my hometown area of Harrisburg PA - what a thrill!!
