My little brother used to root for certain players but now he wants to root for a team. I am trying to make him a cowboy fan but won't do it because I like them. Any ideas who he should root for ? He dose not want to root for his home town team the seahawks or the local team the vikings.

Tell him to watch as much football as he can and one team will naturally draw him in.

This. Depending how old he is tho can have an effect I'd suppose, if he's young he may be more drawn to high scoring teams like the Saints,Packers,etc.

He should be like me. A neutral fan. He will be better off.

Who do you guys root for in college football? Most NC State fans are now Chargers fans because of Philip Rivers. Pick your favorite college player, and whatever team he lands on, there is a good chance you will like that team.

Well being English and not having any hometown, college, etc etc affilliatuion of course i picked a different route.

I really got into football about 4 years ago and wanted a team that was almost "starting from scratch."

So me and Matty Ice have been best buds ever since

So looking at this year. Ask him to pick one with a Rookie QB that is likley to play and then he can follow progression of team from day 1.

If not minnesota how about Titans or Jacksonville? (hes not allowed Carolina of course

)

Such a weird dilemma. I wasn't aware people actively choose their favorite team. I just came into liking the Giants because they wore blue uniforms (I was 4) and I liked them more later because they were a rival of my hometown team, the Eagles, and I like to be contrarian cause it always makes sports more interesting. I never did actively decide on a team.

Since you said the local team in the Vikings and he doesn't like them, maybe he'd like the Packers, Bears, or Lions, to have that same contrarian thing going on? It makes talking sports more interesting when you root for the rival of the local team.
