LOVE:
Jacksonville – my one and only. I will not practice sports bigamy.

Like/Admire: Not so much I hope they win, but they have some admirable qualities that don’t piss me off or I have fond memories of (see Tampa Bay)
1. Pittsburgh – Most patient team in the NFL?
2. Baltimore – Run the ball/stop the run…well, used to be
3. San Diego – Strong drafting/roster (they’re old now), run the ball/stop the run…well, used to be
4. Minnesota – Stroud/Henderson 2.0, Run the Ball, Stop the run (though Favre almost killed it for me)
5. Green Bay – Finally they threw Aaron Rodgers out there. Don’t overdraft receivers yet have on of the best receiving corp in the nfl. AARON KAMPMAN!!!
6. San Francisco – Crazy/Fiery coach. Run the ball. Singletary!!!
7. Carolina Panthers – Run the ball/stop the run (well, used to be). Patience (well, until this upcoming offseason)
8. Tampa Bay – Loved the Warrick Dunn/Mike Alstott/John Lynch/Derrick Brooks/Booger McFarland and Warren Sapp (as a player). Dungy ball = run the ball, play good defense…well, used to be before Peyton.
9. Atlanta Falcons – Matt Ryan is a great cornerstone to build a team. Mike Smith = great guy

THE HATE LIST (I can appreciate the talent, but…)
1. Tennessee Titans – I will forever hate Jeff Fischer and the Titans for 1999
2. Indianapolis – I hate Eli just because of Peyton. Everytime I see Peyton on a commercial I want to hit something.
3. New England Patriots – They own Jacksonville…What’s the Jags record versus the Pats? 1 – ??
4. New York Jets – Dear Mike Tannenbaum, Thank you for screwing Jacksonville with Vernon Gholston’s contract. Thank you for making a big trade for a “big name” wide receiver. One step forward (Coach Ryan) two steps back.
5. Dallas Cowboys – Jerry Jones, you are a money grubbing, botox injecting, Al Davis 2.0. You will kill this league if you get rid of revenue sharing (wait, but I’m a conservative…Revenue sharing is…SOCIALISM!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!)
6. Philadelphia Eagles – the fans are jerks (well, the ones I’ve met), Donovan McNabb has been one of the more abused quarterbacks I can remember (just let him do his thing), and Andy Reid…where do I start…?
7. Washington Redskins – Dear Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, quit suing your fans, quit wasting money on free agents, hire a real coach and stick with them (no offense, but Jim Zorn????)
8. New York Giants – I love Tom Coughlin, their offensive/defensive lines play my kind of football…so why is it I can’t stand them unless they play anyone else on my hate list?

The Pitty List
1. Detroit Lions – Jim Schwartz is a hell of a coach. He’ll do good things there if the ownership doesn’t screw things up.
2. Oakland – I always say never to say this, and it’s horrible to say, but seriously, Al Davis, pass away and give the Raiders peace.
3. Cincinnati – Mr. Brown, you are not your father. Give up control to someone that knows what they’re doing. Wasted potential all around.
4. Cleveland – Dear Browns fans, how long until Coach Mangina is fired?
5. Kansas City – There’s no hope in sight. It’s sad to see a once proud franchise where they are now (also see Oakland).
6. St Louis – I wouldn’t mind if Rushie was part of an ownership group, but apparently everyone else does. Save the Rams (in LA soon?)…

I could care less List
1. Houston Texans
2. Miami Dolphins
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Denver Broncos
5. Chicago Bears
6. Seattle Seahawks
7. Arizona Cardinals
8. New Orleans Saints

AFC:
N – Ravens (hard-nosed football right there)
S – Jaguars, duh (followed by Colts, but that may change now that Dungy is gone)
E – Bills (I don’t know why, maybe I feel sorry for them from back in the early 90s)
W – Chargers (they can put out some running backs)

NFC:
N – Packers (my wife’s favorite team, although I caught her rooting for the Vikings once…wonder why?)
S – Falcons (lived in Atlanta for a while and they grew on me, and Mike Smith)
E – Giants (love what Coughlin has done up there)
W – 49ers (hopefully Singletary can get those guys back in shape, miss the Montana-Rice days)
