I’ve got a team in mind but I’m still doing a little research. Feels weird randomly picking. Yeah don't randomly pick for the sake of having a team. It's better to be drawn to a team for some reason. I'd enjoy a few years of it before even trying to decide. Just obviously not the Raiders... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just obviously not the Raiders... same here, watched it for about a season and a half and went with LT being my favourite player so chargers as my team just watch a load of it and pick who you think plays the most exciting football, what you'll find is that there's every danger it wont be the best team, you might also find that what you consider exciting, rushing, big passers, defences that blitz a lot will change what team you like the only other tip is try and make it an east coast team, they get the earlier kick off slots when they are home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pick the Saints now before they find a way to clone Taysom Hill and fill the team with hims , then you can always claim to be a fan long before they dominate the NFL for the next 100 years if you pick the Flippers then you'll make baby Jebus cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with Saints as they sold Alligator burgers and had this beer machine that filled your pint up from the bottom ( like the video below) ..I'm a simple man and the simple things impress me they do also have the same(ish) embalm as Surrey which is probably the main reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love them to do one on Don Hutson or Bob Hayes next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 @Paddywhack I'd research the teams online, watch videos on YouTube about the history of each team, and of course watch a lot of games. Or you can just pick your favorite helmet and call it a day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I posted a cool vid about the history of the AFC and how/why it merged with the NFL to create the modern league. Some very interesting history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they are my 2nd team but not that fussed about the results or the players. Plus Miami isn't really my type of city... bit too brash and materialistic. Cleveland on the other hand... blue collar city, traditional team, good past but appalling in recent times (like Villa) and I do like the colours. Plus the link to Villa they had via Lerner meant I leant towards them and now i'd say I'm a big fan and considering going to Cleveland for a game next year. Plus as I first properly started liking them during Hue Jacksons reign (1 win 31 losses) so I can never be called a glory supporter especially as their future now looks a lot better! Be interested to hear your shortlist of teams @Paddywhack. As BOF says, if you watch a season as a neutral you will probably find yourself drawn to a team. I do admire Green Bay as well, also for the history and the general setup of the organisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers are a good shout being a unique team (owned by the community) and the history (Superbowl trophy named after their coach etc). I think they're probably a popular team for everyone other than obviously their divisional rivals. Probably not a brilliant place to visit though being a fishing village 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's a shortlist of one at moment - The Steelers. Based on nothing but the fact I like their name and kit, plus they support them in 'This Is Us' and I like that show. I'm not committing yet though, I haven't even watched a game and for all I know they're a homophobic, racist, match-fixing, cheating, well hated team; I've no idea. The only bad thing I know about them so far is their crest (logo, badge?). It's rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do much in the 80's but they ruled the 70's and have been a strong team for most of the last 25 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 This requires a Pats win unfortunately. Any Rams win will carry a huge asterisk, given the joke that was the non-call against the Saints. I'd love if the drug tested everyone, right prior to kickoff too as the amount of stimulates they take for the show is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
