Memphis is far and away a Cowboys market today even though the Titans are 200 miles up I-40. Not sure I've ever seen a Titans fan in Memphis. As for me, I loved the Cardinals. I had one of those old posters you used to buy from Sports Illustrated of Larry Wilson on my wall and love the nostalgia of this twitter account:

Awesome page. Thanks for that one!

I am an Eagles fan -- we aren't looking too good at the moment. After Carson's injury we might be lucky to put up 14 points against any of the teams left in the NFC.... Life of a Philly fan

My dad took me to my first Eagles game when I was 14. They were horrendous. They lost to a decent Steelers team. I think it was 1962.

Watched on TV the fans pelt boo and pelt Santa with snowballs at halftime when they had another awful season.

Dick Vermeil changed the culture there and they have been good to decent most years since 1980.

Edit: Fact check reveals 1962 and the Eagles lost.

Grew up in the Ohio Valley, unfortunately the town I grew up in, in WV covered the Bengals and Reds, not the Steelers or Redskins. So I have followed and pulled for the Bengals most of my life. It has been tough sledding.

Grew up a Cowboys fan. Had an E.Smith Jersey as a kid. His number became my favorite number.

These days, I just watch as an interested party. I guess I pull for the Saints more often than not since both Brees and Sean Payton are Sigma Chi's.
