It seems that sometimes I get grief for not liking a "local" NFL team. I am a hardcore 49ers fan, and sometimes people are like "WHY?" I grew up having Rice, Montana, and Young as my favorite players and have stuck with the team.
So, if you like a team besides the Bears, Packers, Chiefs, Rams, or Vikings, post your favorite team and why.
Do I like a non-local NFL team? No, diehard Rams fan (Kurt Warner is from CR) but I am a diehard New York Islanders fan. Kyle Okposo (their starting winger) played hockey in Des Moines for the Buccaneers. And I'm a Rick DiPietro fan (older goalie) really just the players honestly.

I'm a Broncos fan because I had to pick a Superbowl winner in 4th grade (had no idea what football was apart than a recess game) and I liked the look of the old bucking horse logo.
I was a huge "Captain Comeback" fan in hs, but when the Colts traded away Faulk and Harbaugh it soured me on them (granted they got Manning & Edge ... but that's not the point).
Fantasy football has really ...

Originally Posted by Cy's Taxi I wouldn't consider the vikes really "local" Really??? They're like 3 hrs away. Like one hour if you live in northern Iowa! You do know they are the MINNESOTA Vikings. You know, the state right across the border to the north. Minneapolis and Kansas City are the closest Iowans will get to the NFL.

Big Dolphins fan myself. When I was little my dad would tell me about Griese, Zonk, and the No Name Defense. They were still pretty good then, going to the Super Bowl XVII with David Woodley and the Killer B's on defense (I still hate John Riggins to this day). Then in 1982 they drafted Marino and I was hooked.
