Judging from some of the comments on the "Redskins Games" thread, it sounds like we have some serious football fans on this board.
Just curious who your favorite team is and why!

I'll start it off. Ravens fan obviously.
Born in Baltimore. Grew up as a fan of the Orioles and to a lesser extent the Colts. A true "hommer" I guess. I support all teams from Baltmore as well as Maryland and Navy in college sports.
I don't hate the Redskins actually. We only play each other every four years so it's not much of a "rivalry". Hatred more directed at Steelers and their fans. Any Redskin fan who has put up with Eagles fans has a good idea why Ravens fans don't like Steelers fans.
Anyhow, curious to hear your responses. Did you grow up with a team, adopt a team, relocate from somewhere else and still support your team. Let's hear it!

"MD by 12" Wasn't pretty by any stretch. Looked like the Miami game in the 1st half then N.C./Duke game in the 2nd. The march continues...

Always been a Redskins fan. Eagles really don't bother me as much as the Dallas Plowboys. About the only time I root for the Ravens is when they play them %#^@@#!^& Steelers. Other than that, i don't really care about the AFC. (It's just me)
As a kid, I would root for both the Redskins and Colts but I never got over the loss to the Jets in Super Bowl III (especially after the crushing by the NFL on the AFL in the first two Super Bowls).

Oh blue mule and alot of others are really not gonna like this... I'm a Cowboys fan... even when they suck...still a fan... so needless to say by nature don't like the Redskins... That being said... I'm a HUGE football fan - I watch every week, follow as much as I can... if I could understand fantasy... I'd probably play that too!!! So I can recognize the good teams or players on teams... Campbell - is going to be great with some grooming - So I watch the Redskins play when I can for that reason (also old man is a fan - Dallas/Washington games are always fun in our house ) Ravens have one of the BEST defenses out there... can't dispute that... The Colts (Indy) Peyton is amazing and I've said that since he started there... His team also really stepped up this year... Bears - where the hell did they come from??? Holy Cow!!!! Anyway - I could go on and on.... but 1st Cowboys, 2nd Ravens (Cuz their hometeam & good), 3rd Colts... Go ahead - let the lashings begin...

Ah the memories... Our house has always been for the Redskins but that didn't stop the battles. My dad and I used to fuss about the quarterbacks. I had to have Sonny Jurgensen in and my dad had to have Billy Kilmer. We still get into 'debates' and Ma has to separate us.
