Re: Why do you support your team?

I've been a Packers fan since I can remember. Parents, family, friends were all Packers fans, and being from Wisconsin, it just felt right to cheer for them.

Although, I did go through a brief 3 month stint as a Vikings fan just because it angered my dad... I was also 3 at the time so it didn't last long...

Packer fan. Being born in 1991, I was literally raised with Brett Favre.

Re: Why do you support your team?

I got into sports relatively late (around 10 years old) mainly because my father wasn't the biggest sports fan but I discovered the Bills in 1989 and that's when they were starting to get really good. I was fortunate to find interest in sports when all the local teams were all very good teams. Even through the down years i've been a Bills fan. I think the adversity of being a fan of a team that would always get to the Dance but end up losing appealed to me in that as long as it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger.

I clearly remember after the 4th SB loss I was listening to the sports radio station and people were calling in laughing at the team and using the acronym "Boy I Love Losing Super bowls". It really got to me and I actually cried myself to sleep but I was always optimistic and always looking forward to next year. Even after Jimbo and the boys eventually left/retired I stuck by the team through thick and thin from incompetent coaching to bad personnel decisions all in the hopes that the Glory Days would return. I can't see a day where I WOULDN'T cheer for the Bills.

After all,


NOBODY CIRCLES THE WAGONS LIKE THE BUFFALO BILLS!

Re: Why do you support your team?

After watching my first NFL game (The Superbowl the Packers won in the 90's). I rented a copy of Madden, I decided to do a season and wanted a team that resembled New Zealands colours. I stumbled upon The Black and Gold of the Saints, which was close to the Black & Silver NZ teams use............Was not till halfway through the season, that I found the Raiders. LOL glad I stuck with Saints.

Only ever seen them play once, and that was last years Superbowl. The rest have just been highlights off the web.

Re: Why do you support your team?

I've liked the Packers since I was four years old. I picked them because they had/have yellow helmets and that was my favorite color.

Re: Why do you support your team?

I support my home town teams. Simply because they are where my home is. Outside of them though I like teams based on players (and in a few instances tradition). For instance the reason I liked the Chicago Bulls was because MJ was there. When he went to Washington I liked Washington.
