Chicago Bears, I grew up watching them. It is weird seeing them go from one of the best defenses in the league to one of the worst.

It is what it is.

Obviously the Saints. I grew up in NOLA before attending Alabama. I've probably been a Saints fan ever since Jim Haslett led the Saints to their first playoff victory against the Rams in 2000. I was 10 at the time, and I have been a Saints fan far longer than an Alabama fan. I chose to attend Alabama back in 2008, but I didn't really care that much for cfb. I certainly fel in love with Alabama and cfb.

I think if the Saints played Alabama, I would want a 50/50 split.

Bucs all day. Although it's been a bitch to pull for them. They leave JUST enough to keep me thinking we'll be a solid team then bam, I realize the suckage. What's worse is I love their style of play and they usually have a defense good enough to make noise...but the offense sucks dick and even when it's good it seems the team can't play a full game.

After that I pull for any team with Alabama players. And I really root for them. I'd never claim those teams but I watch our guys every week and as often as I can. It's really fun seeing these guys from UA having success.

Cowboys fan here.

I'm from the Tyler area and my dad raised me on Cowboys football long before I was ever a Bama fan. I didn't really become a big Bama fan until I enrolled at UA.

The Saints. I grew up on the coast, but since the B'ham affiliate shows mostly Foulcons games, I don't pay much attention anymore.

Falcons. Not even close.

I'm beyond excited for the day Brees retires and that team goes back to perennially being a 3-5 win team a year. Brees is a talent and a clas act; but no bigger group of drunk arse hats (from the owner that wanted the team out of New Orleans, to the coach who ruined his marriage with a cheerleader, and ending with the slime balls that fill that once empty tin can on Sundays) deserve to be sent back to oblivion like them.

I literally laugh my arse off at all of the Mississippi and Mobile folks who claim to be Saints fans, yet, know nothing of the team pre-2006.

It will be a fine day when Benson's daughter railroads that city who refuses to get them a new Stadium, and moves that team to San Antonio, like Tom did in 2005. I won't miss the rivalry, and I sure as hell won't miss that putrid group of fans.

Titans fan now (have lived in Tennessee for over 20 years). But, before Nashville got the Titans I always liked the 49ers especially when they had Deion Sanders in 94' and smoked the Chargers in the Super Bowl. Neon Deion, Steve Young, Ricky Watters, and Jerry Rice all in their prime. What a fricking team.

I guess like a lot of Bama fans, I watch the NFL as a fan of football in general, usually through crimson glasses. When former Bama players are on opposite teams, I pull for the Bama guys to do good regardless of who wins.

Now if a Bama player is a primary player on a contending NFL team, I'll ride that bandwagon while it lasts. So I have been a Green Bay, NY Jets, Raiders and Bills fan in the past. But if I had to pick one NFL team and stick with it, I guess it would be Green Bay. I always pull for them if no Bama player is playing a big role. Go Lacy!
