NFL Season Starts Tonight, What team(s) will you be rooting for this year?

[Champ]

Denver Broncos here!

Most importantly for me, I will be rooting for a great season of long runs, big hits, deep passes, amazing catches,(just not against the Broncos 'D' :)) and mostly, great football.

[PittPoliSci]

1. STEELERS

ALL STILLER FANS CHECK IN!

[JohnKleeb]

6. here here

[jpgray]

16. That's hear hear, Kleeb

Unless you are starting another copycat. :P And yes, I am a uniformed Spelling official here on DU. :silly:

[JohnKleeb]

19. you dildo brain

:P I meant here as here I am.

[derrald]

9. Same Here!

Why else would I have season tickets at Heinz Field?

[PittPoliSci]

17. oh i'm so jealous.

i've never been to a stillers game. I've been to pirates, pens, pitt, even the freakin' riverhounds, but never to the stillers.

[JohnKleeb]

20. I dont even live near in PA

I got so many ties to that area though, so its only natural for me being an AFC fan with my roots to become a steelers fan. I'd love to see a game though.

[PittPoliSci]

24. if the day ever comes that i get tickets...

i'll drop you a line kleeb.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Remember that I dont drive and I live a good 5 hour drive away

I would love to go to a football game, all IVe been to is these HHS games.

[PittPoliSci]

28. Keep in mind the waiting list is about 7 years too...

So should I actually get them, it'd be amazing, and I'd probably drive the 10 hours to get ya.

[JohnKleeb]

29. I'll be driving by then

and I'll be in law school......... I hope.

[PittPoliSci]

31. in seven years...

I'll be done with grad school and hopefully* holding elected office. The area I live in could use a real progressive voice.

[JohnKleeb]

33. Good luck on that

I wont be holding office though, I may be writing speeches tough

[gpandas]

66. i'll be there sunday for the...

"criminal element" raiders.

[Baclava]

68. YO!

We've re-opened the hallowed book of smack for another mentally bruising season?


There is NO other Team, but The PITTSBURGH STEELERS!
And if ya TRY TO TELL me different, YOU SUCK!

[Khephra]

2. COLTS!

[JohnKleeb]

5. Steelers

[rooboy]

7. Is Goldie Hawn coaching this year? n/t

[wildeyed]

8. Panthers

It's really a sad story. I actually don't like football, but I fell head over heels for the Panthers after their amazing season last year. Now I have to actually watch the games, read the sports page, figure out how the whole football thing works. Sigh..... Well love is never easy.

[wakfs]

10. Hold your horse there, Kemosabe

[Mojambo]

11. Seahawks! n/t

[St. Jarvitude]

12. DAAAAAAAAAA BEARS!

Most underrated defense in the NFL... excellent secondary (when healthy..) and the deepest linebacker squad in the NFL.

[curse10]

13. No one. Blech to football!

:puke:

[MikeG]

42. If you lived where there is REAL football, you'd think different.

[curse10]

48. where would that be? I've lived in Boston and Denver

two great football towns...

[woofless]

15. Always the CHIEFS!

Carl Peterson's politics notwithstanding.

[Champ]

18. BOOOOO!

Your team is going down! :D

[bigwillq]

21. The New York Football Giants

Have been a fan since I was in diapers.

They may have a long season but they're still my team.

[meegbear]

22. PATS!!

Go New England!!

[HEyHEY]

23. The Chiefs, always the Cheifs - Steelers too

[OneTwentyoNine]

David

[jjmalonejr]

25. New England Patriots

Unstoppable.

[jessicazi]

27. Seahawks!!!

[Meshuga]

30. Giants!

They suck but it is exciting to see Warner and Manning fighting for the QB position.

[VelmaD]

34. The Dallas Cowboys

And before anyone opens their damn mouth...I was born and raised near Dallas and they are MY hometown team and I will LAY THE SMACK DOWN on anybody who tried to start any shit about it. :)

[bo44]

35. FORTY FUCKING NINERS

Ok they suck and they will be lucky to win even eight games but I rooted for them when Pete McCulley coached 'em to a 2 and 14 season, when Walsh and Seifert ruled the roost, when kiss ass freeper Mariucci choked on some big games and now. A FORTY FUCKING NINER FAN THROUGH AND THROUGH.

[democracyindanger]

39. gah

I had a roommate in college that used to sing "Forty Fucking Niners" to the tune of the Hawaii 5-0 theme song. This was during the Montana glory days.

Needless to say, I grew to hate the Niners. So I'm pretty happy that you've got Erickson, who couldn't coach his way out of the paper bag that he keeps his booze in. :evilgrin:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

36. Guess.

We may have a decent passing game this year if our untested offensive line holds up.

[Awsi Dooger]

37. Fiedler

Which means I'm really rooting for Mare

[slutticus]

38. Tennessee Titans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MikeG]

40. One guess.

[GiovanniC]

41. Lions and Colts!

I have good feelings about our Lions this year. Maybe not Superbowl *pfft*, but I think we have a shot at making the Playoffs this time around.

Oh, and down with the Packers, too.

[x-g.o.p.er]

44. Skol Vikings!

[jackieforthedems]

46. Vikings Here, Too

If I said any other team, my family would disown me!!!

[marigold20]

47. Yah, go Vikes!

..

[alarimer]

51. me too!

I live in Texas and everyone in the office talks about the (*^%*(()Cowboys all the time so it will be really sweet when the vikes win the first game! LOL.

[sasquatch]

45. GO BENGALS!!

WHO-DEY!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

49. Go, Pats! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lpbk2713]

50. Tampa Bay Bucs

Always have, always will.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

56. Been gone from Tampa

for four years, and Florida altogther for two, but can't seem to stop lovin' them Bucs.:toast:

[LWolf]

52. Jets.

I've never been to NY, never been a Jets fan, and haven't watched them play too often since Namath, but I pulled them in the office football pool today. So Jets it is!!

On edit: I guess I still won't be watching them; I forgot I did away with my network channels awhile back! I'll have to read about it after the fact. Even after I picked them, I still won't be watching them. :shrug:

[SmileyBoy]

53. VIKINGS!!!!

Packers SUCK!!!

[Jokinomx]

54. Detriot Lions will roar in 2004....

:kick:

[1gobluedem]

63. Yes, Go LIONS!

I love them no matter how bad they are....

Second favorite: New England Patriots because of wonderful MICHIGAN man, Tom Brady! Hee, hee he beat whiny Peyton Manning again last night, yay. Michigan fans can't stand Peyton Manning after his incessant whining about Charles Woodson's winning the Heisman in 1997 ("I purposely came back for my senior year to win the Heisman." HAH!)

[Jokinomx]

65. I agree about the Lions...but Michigan? Go STATE!!!

At least in Basketball...LOL With a Yooper running the Lions and another running the Spartans basketball team... we can't lose:-)

:kick:

[WilliamPitt]

55. *koff*

[BlackVelvetElvis]

57. Will, I think you are getting a little cocky!

[FranzFerdinand]

58. The Bills, duh!

Can you feel it?

[Berserker]

59. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

The Challenge of Thor
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I am the God Thor,
I am the War God, I am the Thunderer!
Here in my Northland, My fastness and fortress,
Reign I forever! Here amid icebergs rule I the nations;

This is my hammer, Miölner the mighty;
Giants and sorcerers Cannot withstand it!
These are the gauntlets Wherewith I wield it,
And hurl it afar off;

This is my girdle; Whenever I brace it,
Strength is redoubled! The light thou beholdest.
Stream through the heavens, in flashes of crimson,
Is but my red beard Blown by the night-wind,
Affrighting the nations!

Jove is my brother; Mine eyes are the lightning;
The wheels of my chariot Roll in the thunder,
The blows of my hammer Ring in the earthquake!

Force rules the world still, Has ruled it, shall rule it;
Meekness is weakness, Strength is triumphant,
Over the whole earth Still is it Thor's-Day!

Thou art a God too, O Galilean!
And thus singled-handed Unto the combat,
Gauntlet or Gospel, Here I defy thee!

Skol Vikings

[Wapsie B]

61. Skol Vikings

Skol Vikings Let's Win This Game,
Skol Vikings Honor Your Name,
Go Get That First Down, Then Get A Touchdown,
Rock Em, Sock Em Fight Fight Fight Fight
Go Vikings, Run Out The Score,
You'll Hear Us Yell For More
V - I - K - I - N - G - S Skol, Vikings, Let's Go.
