Why would you want to change you vote to the Raiders? Vikings are much better off without Moss

DALLAS!!! Since I was 5. Before I knew what football was. My first favorite team in any sport, I picked them and been with them ever since, thru the good and bad.

Oh, and I like how your poll is organized by division :) I probably couldn't list the teams alphabetically either

I don't really have a/any favorite teams now. If their games are on, I'll check in to see how some of the guys I'd watched when they played for my college team are doing like Moss with the Vikings, Brown with the Patriots, Pennington with the Jets, Leftwich with the Jaquars, etc. Moss was a bit of an embarrassment at times, even going back to his arrest in high school, but he did some exciting stuff for the team when he played at Marshall.

so there is no such thing as pride in one's state, or city, but there is in one's country, because a word ("nationalism") exist for such a thing?

No. I'm not talking about the vocabulary, I'm talking about the fact that the concept of nationalism down to the state/city level doesn't exist in real life.

Why do you have a favorite band? Favorite food? Why is the sky blue?


Edit: Take a guess What team I'm rooting for

:thumbsup: It's either cheer for the team from my homestate, that i grew up watching, or cheer for the home team here...the Cardinals. You can see why I'm still a vikings fan. :p

Although I do cheer for the Cards.

C ome to boston when the yankees are in town. I dont see how you can say that nationalism down to the city level doesnt exist. It has been shown throughout history, especially in the military.

Falcons

Watchng Vick go out and do his thing is just amazing. Running, throwing, all while making it look so easy. If only they had a reciever... seems like Price has lost his mojo. Crumpler is pickin up the slack nicely, and their speed/power threat with Dunn and Ducket keeps the sticks moving.

Im up in Canada so i dont have a home squad in the NFL I can root for... :(

PATRIOTS for life. :beer:

And before any of you DARE call me a bandwagoneer, I was down even during the Rod Rust / Dick McPherson days. :( Between the Sox and the Pats, I am thoroughly deserving of the joyride I'm experiencing right now.
