LucyVersion2.0 1,218 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The preseason has begun! Anyone here into "American" football (not soccer)? What team do you cheer for? Is it your local team? Since I was born, raised, and still live in WI, I love the Packers. I think it's a state law, lol. I didn't get into football until the early 2000s, when I found myself needing something to follow after the NASCAR season was over. I used to only watch it from the end of November to the Superbowl, but I got sucked in, and now watch the preseason and sports news, too. Love my Packers! Link to comment
bobabouy 8 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Well.........I have to say I'm a Bears fan. Growing up in the Chicago area, it was a must. Besides it was good to have the rivalry with the extended family that are Packers fans. LucyVersion2.0 1 Link to comment

But, living so close to the IL border, I've had a lot of fun picking on Bears fans over the years, since the Pack tops them just about every time :) One of my ex husband's many cousins is a starter on the Lions defense, so I pull for them, too.

Same here. Although I want my Packers to go all the way, I'll be happy as long as the Pats don't make it...cheaters :P Link to comment
Night Rain 1,157 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 As who I'm rooting for this year, not really sure. Link to comment
Beatrix 459 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 #GO SEAHAWKS. Also, fuck the Pats like everyone else - why do they need to cheat when they're one of the better and more consistent teams anyways? glad Brady got banned for four games this time around, not that it mattered last year.

wettingman 1,586 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 As much as I love football , I have mixed feelings about pre-season starting already. It means my favorite season , summer is almost over . :-( I live in New York State north of NYC but my favorite team has been the Dallas Cowboys for decades. I have grown weary of losing though. It has been a very long time since they were in the Super Bowl. LucyVersion2.0 1 Link to comment

It has been a very long time since they were in the Super Bowl. I totally feel you about summer being nearly over; it's my favorite season, too, and where I live, there's so little of it. Yeah, I've noticed the Cowboys haven't been doing so hot the last few years, and they used to be the team to beat! Link to comment

DespMely 287 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Redskins for me - not really my fault, my host-dad from when i was an exchange student in the US is to blame (got lucky there as we were actually near Buffalo!) I like watching the games, theres so much more action than in european football that my bf always watches:) Also you can play fantasy football;) LucyVersion2.0 1 Link to comment

Without bridgwater Minnesota obviously isn't as good as they were but all jokes aside do you think their defense and AP can take them all the way? With Rodgers you always have a shot lol Link to comment
tsporty1 88 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm a Bills fan. Yes, it is a tortured existence once football season comes around. And no, the people in the video did not give up on the season already. It's a joke (there's a viral video going around from after the Bills/Ravens game, in case you don't know what I'm referencing in which some Bills fans took down the Bills flag and raised the Buffalo Sabres flag and started acting crazy).

ShyGuy 72 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I come not for your pity, but I am a proud Browns fan. I know, I know. You don't have to tell me, we suck harder than a hooker the day the rent is due. LucyVersion2.0 and Night Rain 2 Link to comment
bobabouy 8 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I know plenty of Browns fans. At least the wins are well celebrated. :) Link to comment
