I grew up a Dolphins fan because I liked watching Dan Marino play and I thought dolphins were the coolest animal or some weird crap. Either way, I still root for them a bit but not all that much.

I generally pull for teams that did poorly the previous year, but not all that seriously. I watch any game that's on because I like the sport, but I don't really follow any team closely other than the Panthers and to a much lesser extent the Fins.

Oh, and I almost always root for the Lions on Thanksgiving... lotta good it does them.

Grew up a Colts fan. Suffered through years of 2-14 seasons. I remember when Marty Domres and Jeff George were the QBs. Then the Panthers come to town and I struggled to switch, but I did. And the Colts get good.

So they are AFC and I root for them unless we play, but the passion is for the Panthers. I don't like to lose, but I admire loyalty. My friends picked on me for being a Colt fan, and they changed from the Steelers to the Niners to the Patriots.

Staying loyal to the team will makes the winning sweeter. That is why I don't come down on Clausen. There are 31 other QBs for me to criticize.

Nope, one team. Was a 49ers fan from about 1980 on, good timing huh? :) I tried to be a 9er fan and a Panther fan, but being in the same division at the beginning didn't help. Then the 49ers fired Mooch and the decision was made.

I can pull for the Steelers, Jets and Chiefs, but really I don't give a poo about them.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
