Searching for a Team

My first Blog Quest involved deciding which NFL Team to support, I decided to approach the system in reverse by coming up with reasons as to why I shouldn't support each team and eliminating them 1 by 1.  These blog articles can be found in the Archive section on the right hand side.  In short, this is what I discovered...


1. I really don't like the Steelers

2. Nobody rates the Rams
3. The Colts had a terrible 2011
4. At least they didn't have Blaine Gabbert
5. Kansas isn't the place to go for touchdowns
6. The Bucs are rubbish at Wembley
7. The Patriots had it too easy at Wembley
8. New Orleans were great at Wembley, but not enough to win me over
9.  The Chargers were almost as great at Wembley, but didn't win me over either.
10. Beating the Bucs, isn't enough to win me over.  Sorry Bears
11. Oakland commit far too many fouls.
12. Don't turn on the TV if you want to watch the Cardinals
13. The Dolphins need continuity
14. Purple isn't a great look in Baltimore
15. The Browns logo is stupid
16. I'm not a glory hunter
17. Dallas are terrible tossers
18. Don't bet your house on Graham Gano making a field goal
19. Sourdough Sam is a disgrace of a mascot
20. Moving to Seattle hasn't gone well for Zach Miller
21. Don't put Broncos in your Fantasy team
22. There's something about Green Bay I don't like
23. The Bengals need a better back up QB
24. It's a bloody long way to Tennessee
25. My girlfriend doesn't fancy a trip to Carolina
26. NFL360 reckons I should be a Falcon
27. The Bills are rubbish at home (and away actually!)
28.  Houston can't get it done on 4th down
29. The Vikings are a weak team
30. Kevin Cadle dislikes the Jets!
31. The Lions are really poor on Madden 07

All of which left me as a Philadelphia Eagles fan!


Just to clear up a few issues....

* Yes, I know it's a silly, convoluted and illogical process.  I know some of the methods are unfair, but that's part of the game.  I'm trying to invest a lot of time and effort into this so when I do find my team in 2 days time, I will invest the same effort into supporting them.

* The whole ethos of this blog has been that there loads of ways to find a team to support and they are all equally valid.  This is just my approach.

* If I had decided to just pick a team to support then I would have gone for the Rams, based on the recent trade deal and the fact they are playing in London for the next 3 seasons.  But, that's another method of picking a team!
