Randomguy Posted December 6, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2018 I was just thinking about this because I am originally from Cleveland and am definitely a Browns fan, although I have lived in a lot of NFL cities. I have a few teams that I respect because they always play well, but I mostly like the underdogs who seem to pull it together unexpectedly. I am liking San Diego the Chargers this year as my current second-favorite team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2018 For that I would have to have a first favorite team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted December 6, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2018 I don't know if I'd call anyone my "second favorite" but the two other teams that I find myself rooting for a little are the Eagles (if they win it will make my dad, friends and coworkers happy), and yes, those hapless Browns (who are just a little less hapless this year). What can I say - I like a nice feel-good story and Success For The Browns would certainly qualify. Of course this goes out the window when they're playing "my" team. In last year's SB I was able to find some room in my heart to be happy for the Eagles and their fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 6, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2018 I am weird. I went to Texas A&M, so I love the Figthin' Texas Aggies. However the rest of my family all attended The University of Texas and I grew up as a Texas Longhorns fan. I will cheer for both teams unless they are playing each other in which case I have a deep burning desire to see the Texas Aggies beat the Ever livin', Ever Lovin', Compound, Complex Hell out of tu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted December 6, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2018 The Raiders and the Chargers when they are wearing Powder Blue. The two best Uniforms in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted December 6, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 6, 2018 I only cheer for one professional footballing group, even though they suck. You cannot have two. It simply is not done. Except maybe by people who have screwed up morals due to ingesting cashews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted December 6, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2018 Do I have a 2nd favorite team? Check out my Ravenskins logo below! When the Colts left Baltimore I did something heretical among "Balamorons:" I began to root for the Washington Redskins, the local team whose stadium was 33 miles from my home. That was right in the heart of the Joe Gibbs era, featuring great teams, Super Bowl winners, etc. So I grew very fond of the Redskins. When NFL commissioner Tagliabue despicably blocked Baltimore from getting an expansion team so the city and state lured the original Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore and they became the Ravens, I instantly began rooting for the Ravens as my favorite team. But the Redskins are still my 2nd favorite team - which works out well because a large number of people in my extended family are Redskins fans and both teams' home stadiums are in Maryland - I've attended games in both of them. When I began playing fantasy football in 2006, the first team I formed and which is still my flagship team was/is named the "Ravenskins." They play in the league I founded and am commissioner of at CBSSports.com called "The Battling Baby Boomers" (next year's league will be posted in the CBS sign-up list on Aug. 8, 2019 for anyone interested). The Ravenskins 12-year, 2006-17 record: 105-63 regular season, 6-4 playoffs, 4 finals, 2 league championships, 4 division champs, 6 playoffs. But they are having a bad year (injuries!) and in danger of their first season with less than 6 wins. They were 3-7 and have 2 wins and a draw since then but are favored to lose by 6 points this last-regular-fantasy-season week (basically that's a tossup), 104-98 according to CBS's computer projections. The team logo is a combination of the Ravens and Redskins logos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted December 6, 2018 Share #9 Posted December 6, 2018 Anyone who beats the Cardinals is my second favorite. Anyone who beats the Rams is my favorite. Hint: I live near St. Louis. STL is getting a XFL team. I can hardly wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are NFC rivals but I have always liked the 49'rs and do root for them if they are not playing the Rams. I've become a fringe Charger fan now that they are based out of my city and use my kids former soccer fields as their summer camp location.

Nope, the Rams owner bought the land and then built the stadium. The Chargers will then be co tenants with the Rams. I don't plan to watch the Rams play at the coliseum but do want to see the new stadium when it opens in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they play and where they practice aren't really relevant (much). Players like to live near the practice facility. The team stays at a hotel the night before game days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekick, so far offside the kick goes behind the cheating Stealer, penalty declined, kick good, game over. I will relish that minute or so of greatness and replay the looks on Roth, Roehtli, Ben's and Tomlin's faces for quite a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a deflection is when a cheating Stealer is so far offsides on a pass play that he knocks the pass out of the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
