So who here has been keeping up with the season? Who's your team? How are they doing? Gripe and complain about bad calls and other things.
By the way... How bout them Cowboys!!! 11-1!!! We will win the NFC East Division this year!

Cowboys will win their division this year I think.
Now, Mittop is a Boston boy, which means he is a Patriots fan. This means that he is currently living in a Golden Age of Sports. Surely it can not last, but he will enjoy it while it does.
Funny story. I was in London on business awhile back, and was walking around along the South Bank of the Thames in Greenwich. It was cold and raining, and was thinking it might be time for a pint. Suddenly, I noticed a flickering light from the corner of my eye. It was a TV in a local pub. As I drew near, it was showing a American Football game. Looking at the TV through the window of the pub, I saw it was the Patriots. Heaven! I went inside and spent the next couple of hours in this empty pub drinking pints and explaining the rules of the game to the bartender. It was awesome.

I was born in Houston, so I follow the Texans, but I never get to see them and before I was working weekends, I could listen to them online. I live in New England so I should like the Patriots, but I don't.
Football's not really my thing, I'll watch it if someone else is, but I don't even watch the Super Bowl unless I'm with others, no fun in wasting four hours really....
Now soccer on the other hand.....

All I need to say is that I'm a Bengals fan... pretty much been a crappy season from the start. I can find a little solace in the fact that the Browns are doing so well, but it's only a minor comfort.
Also, I can't be the only one who's wishing for the Patriots to lose every week.

I am right there with ya. I wish you could of seen the gleam in my eye when it looked like the Eagles were gonna win. That was the only time I've ever rooted for the Eagles.

I want the Patriots to lose, I hate them, but if I say that aloud I'll get massacred....
My hate stems more from their owners and the lack of attention they give the Revolution (soccer team) while they dish out the megabucks on the Patriots (Kraft owns both teams).

I am a Jet fan, a little hard to admit with the horrible season they are having. Im with you guys as far as wishing the patriots lose every week, but with the Jets in the same division I do that every game, every single year..

I'm a Raven's fan, although I was born into a Steeler family (born in PA). We've had a really really rough season this year. No offense and an aging defense...
I mostly am in to College Football though. I graduated from Virginia Tech a few years ago and I have to admit that I live and die by Hokie football. I'm living in Northern VA now, so its nice to be surrended by Hokie fans :)
GO HOKIES! (soon to be) ACC CHAMPS!!!

I'm a Seahawks fan. Right about now, the whole Seattle area is actually bummed that Shaun Alexander is back playing again.

I am a Patriots fan living in Eastern Ontario. I also like the Red Sox, but I'm not a fan of the Bruins or Celtics. That being said, 11-0! I also like the Packers who are merely 10-2.

I'm living outside of cleveland, so i am a natural browns fan. Right now we are in the middle of the season of dreams. 7-4 record with a playoff berth right around the corner - i never thought i would see it happen!

Growing up in Michigan, you bleed Hawaiian blue when it comes to football, so I'm obviously a Lions fan. Despite several of our blunders (losing to the Eagles, giving up in the Green Bay game), I've been really happy with the series so far. This is the first time in a really, really long time that any of us have been happy to say that we're Lions fans, and while we certainly do not lead the division/league, we do have a shot at the wildcard, and that certainly is worth something...
...Its a building process. Start with the Wings, move to the Pistons, the Tigers have had two good seasons, and now its the Lions turn...
Now being from West Michigan, its "proper" to like the Packers and the Bears as well, but sadly, I do not. Although I do like Farvre, hes the only reason why I've even moderately cared about the Packers, so once he retires, that one is done. The Bears really only tie-in because so much of my family lives there, but I'd happily skip over them under most circumstances.
...Not a Patriots fan, don't care much for Indianapolis (although I do like P. Manning), never been much of a Cowboy's fan, and the same can be said for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati as well. I always found it very odd that I actually cared about the Seahawks and the Saints despite having no ties to either team whatsoever....
