Actually for me, the questions becomes
"Are there any NFL teams you don't completely hate?"
Well that hate runs deep...I hate 'em all in the NFC East.
I can't stand the entire NFC west either, especially Seattle and the 9'ers, Rams and Cardinals...meh.
Can't stand the Packers or Vikings. Bears are "meh" and who could hate the Lions?....but I certainly couldn't root for them
Bucs Saints Panthers Falcons - I hate the Panthers and have a general dislike for the rest -
AFC East...Bills Patriots Jets Dolphins... I probably dislike the Jets the least, only because they are home town, and have no particular feeling on the rest.
AFC North.....I absolutely hate, hate hate, the Steelers for personal reasons...mostly because I feel like they are the team the Giants should be, but we are not, and they are, and I hate them for it.
Browns and Bengals are the same orange team from Ohio to me. Ugliest uniforms in the NFL, therefore, I laugh when I see them. There is a special hate I have for the Ravens for the Superbowl and Ray Lewis and his stupid dance....to me, this team is up there w/Philadelphia on the hate scale.
AFC South Titans, Colts Jaguars, Texans. The least interesting, mot ho-hum division in football. I feel nothing for any of these teams, therefore, I neither hate nor even remotely like any of them. I wouldn't want to visit any stadium on this list.
AFC West - Special hate for the Chargers and the fact that Eli could never beat them. Broncos are the best looking team with orange in their color scheme....no feelings towards them. The Chiefs never really bothered me either until Patrick Mahomes. I am glad they are doing badly this year.
I think I like the Raiders. As a second, I am gonna start rooting for them, except when they play the Giants in a few weeks.
What's your second favorite team BBI?
Hudson Valley is awesome...if you like bourbon, try Taconic distillery, really nice bourbons, especially the one called Cabernet Cask.....smoothest bourbon ever....
Who I like and dislike - in terms of following more closely - probably is connected with the type of player(s) that particular team has at the time.
I tend to have more favorite players (like Troy Polamalu for example) that I admire and wish played for the Giants.
But I do despise the Eagles, but I have to say right now they just aren't that dislikable. I did feel my stomach start to turn on though on their mini comeback Thursday night lol
The Giants will always be the only team I truly root for...but I'd love to see a Giants/Raider SB someday.
+1

Lovin that....now it's Vegas though...wonder if that has changed it a bit....next time I go to Vegas, if it's in season and Raiders are home, I might try to get to the game...must be a nice stadium
currently trying out Bills and Browns
i'm thinking about going to a hypnotist to take be back to Feb 6 2012 in my brain.
thats pretty much it.
For example, in 2008 I was pulling hardcore for the Cardinals over the Steelers because of Larry Fitzgerald.
Of the really good teams currently, I would like to see Buffalo put it all together because I like Josh Allen. I like how many people both here and around league circles didn't want to touch him in the draft and said he would be no good.
So no 2nd favorite team, although I do have favorite players that aren't Giants. Through the years my favorites have been guys like Bo Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald, Ed Reed, Barry Sanders and Peyton Manning, just to name a few.
But anyone playing Dallas, Philly or WFT is always going to be my 2nd favorite team, unless it's the Giants.
The Rams are good, they have a QB that I like and a lot of mojo right now. Herbert is also exciting for the Chargers. I don't mind seeing my adopted home teams do well.
But, after their Super Bowl years and Tarkenton's retirement, I lost interest.
So, anyone playing the Eagles...I lived in Buck's County for 17 years, God I hate that team and those fans...
Tough Army loss to Wisconsin. The OL was outweighed by 75 lbs per guy but they held up. I thought there was a good chance on that last drive before the fumble...but alas.
For example I really liked Earl Campbell and for a short time was a fan of that Oilers team. I liked Namath and liked the Jests some when he was there. And I liked Bert Jones so I rooted for the Colts when he was there.
However I don't feel a piece of me die when they lose like I do with NYG....

I was a big fan of Earl Campbell as well. And I loved watching the Ken Stabler Raiders in the 70s.
But my Dad raised me to be a Giants guy and that’s what I will be until I’m cold in the ground.
I have a soft spot for the Browns because I have a ton of family in Cleveland. But I can't say I go out of my way to watch them.
I live in L.A. but don't like the L.A. teams, never have. Don't like the Dodgers, either. I'm somewhat alienated from my community.
So I root for all those teams to win as long as it doesn't negatively impact the Giants. But I don't consider myself a fan of any of those teams. I am a Giant fan only.
I also root for some QB's in the NFL that I think are worth rooting for or that I want to be correct in evaluating. I like Sam Darnold and I root for him because he seems like a good guy (who really knows) but mostly because I wanted the Giants to take take him but he's not any better than Daniel Jones and that's not good enough.
I am in the minority I'm sure but I root for Aaron Rodgers because I think he's amazing to watch and he's on the Packers. I root for Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert because I find young exciting QBs fun to watch and I need something to keep my interest when the Giants go south before Halloween. That's pretty much about it right now.
I guess I’m A sucker for anyone throwing their QBs under the bus fornthem to play well elsewhere.... Luis just because they are such losers and I’d like to see a decent game on Thanksgiving for once
Generally i don't like any other NFC teams. Don't mind the AFC West teams. I have a soft spot for the chiefs for their reaction post 9/11 game.
Plus he looked like he was going to be Lamar on that mnf game whennlamar looked completely electrifying

He's also responsible for the eagles winning a super bowl. Eff that guy.

Now I am a fan of the Giants first and football second. Love all of it though. There are so many players, coaches, and stories to keep me interested. AZ is 6-0 and KC is 3-3.
Shit is always changing.
Enjoy the games while they are on, season flies by.
