Gotta admit, the Cowboys thing was spot on. I hate to say it, as some of us are rational, but the majority of the fanbase can be deluded as hell. Agreed sadly, And I really want to smack the individual who came up with the America's team thing. I can't stand it. The story I'd always heard is that the guy that came up with "America's Team" initially offered the nickname up to the Steelers, and Steelers' management said "Oh, HELL no." Then it was offered to the Cowboys, and they were only too happy to accept. |

C'mon, Filthadelphia can't dominate ALL of the list.  Though I think in the case of the Flyers the actual team has more of a reputation of being dirty than the fanbase. When you consider they play in Philly, that's saying something. Didn't a bunch of reporters from Montreal get their tires slashed during Game 5 last year in the playoffs simply because their cars have Quebec license plates? That was Pat Hickey of the Gazette. His car was completely trashed. But to be fair to Philly, a lot of people there got upset and even gave him money to pay to have it repaired. I don't mind people being psyched up about their teams, but doing stuff like that is low. |

I just find it odd that they did that right after winning the game that would take them to the SCF!!!! Really?!?! |

Montreal isn't in America...
With that in mind, it frees up a spot for Patriot fans. I hope there's a special place in hell for all those Tom Brady nut hugging front-runners.

I'm amazed the Broncos didn't make the list. Those dudes make Dallas fans seem humble, hell, a good portion of Broncos fans would give John Elway a gummer. The fact they jump on and off bandwagons very quickly should also be a factor. I remember last year everyone wore Denver jerseys up until week 6 and then nobody was wearing them. Same time around this year, nothing. YOU. ARE. NOT. FANS. I think my least favorite thing about Cowboys fandom (and boy there's a lot of it), is why the stadium has a giant hole in the roof: "So God can watch his team play." And Jerruh REVELS in this egotism, too. To the point where the Cowboys would be my least favorite team in the NFL by a large margin even if I wasn't a Giants (or Eagles or Redskins) fan. It's just extremely hard for me to root for a team like that. Yes, he's a jackass. But for awhile he was a winning jackass and cowboys fans were happy. But it's been awhile since the Cowboys have done anything in the playoffs (But I did enjoy the win over the Eagles) I for one am sick of him and really wish that he hired a GM, which isn't going to happen. Oh and believe it or not Jerreh didn't come up with the God's team thing that was one of the players said right after Texas stadium opened. Both wrong, it was Tom Landry. |

I never said Jerruh came up with it. Just that he revels in the title and the egotism that comes with it.

How am I supposed to take his opinion of LSU fans seriously when they use this:  as the picture for it?! Oh my! That is just wonderful. Why can't we get more face/body painters like this? |

Just looked it up from it was former Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis who said it in a 1982 interview. Can't picture Tom Landry saying something like that. |

Ask Cliff Lee's wife who's worse, Phillies fans or Yankess fans.
