I have lived through Russ Francis and Stanley Morgans, the Andre Tippett and Craig James, the Robert Edwards and Mosi Tatupu, Drew Bledsoe and Ben Coates..all the good times and the bad.
We, New England fans have paid our dues in mediocrity and failure enough so these recent times of great success have be as sweet as any sports fan could ask for. Thank You Bill Belichick. Thank You Tom Brady.
I love the Pats, always have. I left the bar early during Super Bowl XLIII, didn't see the last five minutes... I actually cried when I found out what happened.

2nd has to be the NY Jets. Was a Jets fan first and always liked them more than the Giants and used to go to many Jets games as a kid.

The Cowboys are often called America's Team, but they are often loathed by other football fans. I think this is mainly because the Cowboys won so many championships consecutively that people started to get tired of them. They haven't done great in several years now, but I am still a loyal fan.
This year, they will begin playing in their insane new billion dollar stadium.

I'm in the loathe Cowboys camp, even though i'm here in the UK. For many season my team the Cardinals (who i've supported since 1981) were in the same conference as the Cowboys and tended to get beat up!
But who won the last game at the old cow stadium. LoL. Da skins. And if you read my post below you would see the skins have 5 championships ... that is the only stat that matters.
Let's face it if it weren't for the Cowboys, Redskin fans wouldn't have any fun. What would we do without anybody to hate? We would probably find somebody else, like the Vikings, but it just wouldn't be the same. So really we don't mind the Cowboys that much, we just want to have fun. Unless they beat us, then they're a bunch of jerk.
Right! Which is exactly why the Cowboys have won 5 superbowls to the Redskin's 3, 19 division championships to the skin's 12, and 10 conference championships to the skin's 5. And oh yeah...Cowboys lead in wins against the skins too by 57 to 39! Dallas is, and always has been, a superior team to the Redskins!

Pottsville Pennsylvania is also the home of Yuengling, the oldest brewery in the United States. Although Yuengling beers are not up to the modern craft beers, they are better than the mass market national/internationals. Their Porter is their best beer, and a Black & Tan (mixture of porter and lager) is very popular.
Although the Maroons no longer are present in the NFL, they need support because the 1925 NFL championship was stolen from them by the League management. The excuse was the Maroons playing an exhibition game against college all-stars against the wishes of the NFL management. The Maroons were clearly the best team and had beaten the Cardinals, to whom the championship was transferred. There is still an active campaign by citizens of Pottsville and other interested parties to have this wrong undone.

@albanian That's a little unfair, don't ya think? To mark someone's question uninteresting because you assume all of the answers they receive? Anyway, I have no relationship to the location of my favorite team at all.
Well said @albanian you've raised a topic that i'd never heard of before. Probably worth it's own question tbh.
I'm still unsure why you found the question uninteresting though!
Because it was a given that almost every answer would be uninteresting. People normally root for teams of the city where they lived or where they were brought up, despite the fact that the players are from elsewhere and are traded around at the whim of management.
Actually I find almost all sports questions even more uninteresting, so much so that I don't click on them at all, so I don't get to mark them uninteresting. This one I knew I could work in a couple of items on my own agenda but little thanks to the question itself, really.

Thanks for the detail you went into with this answer.
Patriots, well there's no accounting for taste I suppose. Seriously they have been one of the best NFL teams over recent seasons and are obviously a good one to support if you want to win some trophies.
