Favorite NFL Team

I would love to know which team is everyone's favorite!

Raider Nation!
-
The Patriots!

All of them, as long as they keep wearing those tight, shiny pants.

Kansas City Chiefs
They’ve been my team since Christmas Day, 1971, and I was 11 years old.
Up until that day, I didn’t know anything about the game and really had no interest in it. It was Christmas which meant toys and fun, and definitely no interest in what to me was some insignificant football game on TV.
A cousin–5-6 years my senior, was a Chiefs fan. (I remember him painstakingly painting all of those little men from his vibrating football game.) Anyway, he was rapt up and into this game, and it was the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Miami Dolphins; and having that wanting to be like him thing going, I starting watching this game, joining it at some nondescript point in the action. The only thing I honestly remember about it was that the Chiefs lost–I think with Miami kicking a game-winning field goal.
It ended up being the longest game in NFL history…
“On Christmas Day in 1971, the Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Divisional Game which the Dolphins won, 27-24, in double overtime after 82 minutes and 40 seconds of play. Four decades later, that game remains the longest NFL game ever played.” - Google
1971 AFC Divisional: Chiefs vs. Dolphins highlights video…
As a fan, I do have my small collection of Chiefs memorabilia and gear, with my prized possessions being a helmet autographed by Joe Montana, and a framed and autographed Marcus Allen picture. Funny thing, when I got the helmet years ago, it seemed like quite a bit to pay, and now that’s close to the price of a couple of my Chiefs jerseys (with tax and shipping and handling), not to mention a couple hundred dollars spent on four caps (3 of which are the same, and “customized” with 72 Monte Carlo stitched on them…a tribute to my baby).
Although recent seasons have been great, the sting of each of the final games of those seasons does hurt, but I’m patient and I know our time will come!
(Being a Chiefs fan living in the San Francisco East Bay Area, there’s the bonus of often getting to do a little “trash-talking” to my friends who root for the Raiders and ‘Niners!)
GO CHIEFS! :cheesy2:
