I was a Steelers fan growing up, since we were only an hour from Pittsburgh it was sort of an obligation, but I always liked the Raiders better, just for the name & colors.ComfyMom~Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645425225886356909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-74431343271802000342011-10-10T13:12:42.330-07:002011-10-10T13:12:42.330-07:00Your love of the sport really comes across in your...Your love of the sport really comes across in your post Rinda.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and my dear hubby is a Cleveland Browns fan, so when we married we agreed to be a two-team family! LOL He's taken his time adopting "my" team, but this year he got a Dallas Cowboys license plate cover for his new car.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-3068772901165580452011-10-10T11:12:53.947-07:002011-10-10T11:12:53.947-07:00great info ~don't watch football much!great info ~don't watch football much!Connie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594413278802349585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-24978466721802487502011-10-10T11:05:01.445-07:002011-10-10T11:05:01.445-07:00i spent my childhood watching the Raiders with my ...i spent my childhood watching the Raiders with my grandfather (an original season ticket holder) ... i listened to him curse Al Davis and cheer Ken Stabler!

I do watch some of the NHL and it's funny but the last time I went to see my doctor we talked sports and I surprised him with how much I know about CFL and hockey. I use to watch lots of F1 and CART/Indy car racing (hubby watches it all) but stopped when Paul Tracy lost his ride with Forsythe. So, I guess I do like to watch sports, but I pick and choose when and what that might be!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722162429142110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-36661336920497073072011-10-10T10:38:31.946-07:002011-10-10T10:38:31.946-07:00I started learning about Football when my brother ...I started learning about Football when my brother played for St. Thomas High School. I still don't know all the rules. My husband and two boys hate when I watch a game with them because I ask to many questions.
