off topic I know but I've always kinda liked the Bengals. They suck but maybe there's some pity in there somewhere. This year is an unbelievable surprise: very happy for Mike Zimmer who deserves some joy in his life right now. Feel bad for RW who didn't deserve another bad injury like that: he was having a GOOD year....what say you?

There is only Cowboys. Every other team only exists so the Cowboys will have someone to play against.

San Diego. If I weren't already a 'Boys fan during the early 80's I probably would be a Chargers' supporter. I loved the Air Coryell days and have always wanted them to do well (except against us)! I don't consider myself a "fan" though, I only have enough love in me for one team...;)

Any AFC team playing an NFC East team (besides Dallas).

I have always liked the Chargers & Colts. The Chargers were originally in L.A. where I lived and I was a HUGE Johnny Unitas fan as a kid so I've always liked the Colts.

I also am happy for the Bengals' success this year because of Carson Palmer. He should have been a Cowboy.

In the AFC no real favorite I tend to pull more for the underdog unless the AFC team is playing an NFC team, an a win by that AFC benifets the Cowboys.

I'd probably say the Chargers as well, i remember growing up they seemed to always play the late game, remember watching Fouts and those guys.

Also, dare i say the Texans? I really like some of the players, Johnson, Schaub and a few others. If the fans and media didnt hate the Cowboys so much i'd probably be a bigger fan.

I like the Colts, always been a classy organization. Really liked Dungy, Peyton is a great QB, and they are competitive every year. 10 years removed from being absolutely garbage, they've built a powerhouse.

3 of my favorite non-Cowboys QBs have been Colts: Unitas, Bert Jones, & Manning. Dan Fouts and Kenny Anderson were a couple others I liked and I really like Philip Rivers & Carson Palmer.

I pull for the Jets in the AFC, I like watching Peyton Manning so I like the Colts also.

I too am happy for the Bengals also, It was nice to see them sweep the Steelers.......:)

I have started to like the Bills only because I have gone to a Bills game every year for the last 8 years. The fans really have spirit for a team that is so bad.

Jets and anybody that beats the Pats or Steelers in no particular order.

Well, I was born in NYC and have family there.
Since I dislike the Giants, I root for the Jets.

I was too young to see Unitas, but I always liked the Colts, especially since the 95 season. What a fun year and fun team to watch, ending on a Harbaugh desperation pass coming up just short against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game.

I grew outside of Canton, so I would say the Bengals are very exciting.

I also find myself pulling for the Colts (due to Manning) and the Chargers (I too loved the Chargers in the 80's).

Basically, when it comes to the AFC, I root hard against the Steelers and the Patriots. I would love to see a Bengals v Cowboys or Chargers v Cowboys Superbowl (like it should have been in 1981)

I picked the Cowboys vs Chargers 3 straight years from 1980-82, we made it to the NFC Championship game all 3 times and the Chargers made it to the AFC Championship game twice. I came close 3 times but neither team made it to the SB in those years.

In the 70s I kept picking the Cowboys & Raiders but it never happened either.
