Skins fan! Grew up here in the Carolina's when we didn't have a pro team, but, every Sunday this area received the Skins broadcast. The days of Jurgenson, Hanburger, Kilmer, Larry Brown, Charlie Taylor, Art Monk, Theisman, Riggins, Coaches George Allan and Joe Gibbs,The Hoggs, and the many others have always been some of the best times.

Best memory---taking my Dad to see his first ever Redskins game against Dallas in 1982 and seeing the Skins knock Danny White from the game and winning huge over the Cowboys! My dad talked about that game for years and years.

Panthers get a look from me every year...but, the Skins will ALWAYS be MY TEAM!

I was a Giants fan in the '50's and when the Patriots were founded I gradually became a fan of the Pats. Still also love the Giants.

Definitely remember some of the early years of the old AFC "Boston" Patriots!

Damn! And I've been called old.

Grew up in Northern NJ. My father and godfather were relocated there from Chicago when I was very young. Therefore I was brought up a Bears fan. I was around for the '85 team but I was 2 1/2 so it has not been a great ride. We have had some great runs, but it has mostly been pretty hard to be a Bears fan. But I'd be pretty happy if all we did beat Green Bay.

Panthers fan as of Sunday. I've never gotten into football until I attended the Carolina/Arizona game Sunday. Loved it. Carolina fan here.

I lived in Nashville when I was a child, so if the Titans are on (last night against the Colts) I'll pull for them too!

Grew up in the 1960s about 2 miles from Lambeau field. Was a caddy at Oneida Golf and Riding Club and carried the sticks of:
Ray Nitschke
Tony Canadeo
Paul Horning
Bob Skoronski
Gary Knaflec
and a few others...

Dad got season tickets in 1976 so that he and I could go to games.

So, what team do you think has been my team? Even when I was living in such places as:
Chicago: Los Angeles; Ft. Wayne, IN; Onekama, MI; Naugatuck, CT

Now that we're only 45 min. away from Lambeau, still use those same tickets, but now dad likes to take his grandsons to a few games. That's cool!
