The Panthers are my "local" team but not my team. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and lived there again after college for a handfull of years. I was basically born into Steeler fandom.

Traitor... Also Moon Football sucks this year.

JK... I get it, the Mark Malone / Bubby Brister era Steelers were enough to push a lot of folks away.

Dad’s family has some roots in Minnesota and he saw fit to inflict generational trauma on his children.

No one wore LSU gear in BR in the early to mid 90’s. It was all Miami and FSU.


That's simply not true.

Grew up mostly in Alabama, with a little stint in Mississippi. Really too far from the Saints or Falcons, Nashville didn't have a team yet, and dad was a Raiders fan. When he was in high school, Kenny Stabler went from Alabama to the Raiders, so he started following them. So I've been a lifelong long-suffering Raiders fan since birth.

Thats when I dropped the saints. Not because of the team doing that. But because fans didnt care. Why would I want to be associated with scum people like that. Still sell the family saints tickets to opposing fans every chance I get. Suck it nola

I pull for the Bills also because my wife and all my in-laws are from Niagara Falls. Huge bills fans. Kicking around going to see them play the Packers this year.


A while ago I dated a girl from the Buffalo area and love how much like the Packers they are...the cities, fanbases, their commitments. So I always pull for them as well.

Also, you should absolutely check out the game in Green Bay. I'm biased but it's the best, friendliest, and most fun scene in the NFL and second place isn't close.

All you would see at Cortana Mall and around town was Miami and FSU gear.


I worked in CM and only remember black kids and Vanilla Ice wannabes wearing this stuff.

Is it difficult to seem like such a dumbass here all the time or does it just come naturally?

you sound as stupid as lafayette ULL fans hating red stick and LSU and vice versa.

thankfully many can pull for both and appreciate all cities here in this state. food.music.culture. good stuff in all 3 cities. we can easily trash BR for negatives especially now.
