Houston Texans. Hard to choose a favorite player since they have a lot of talent but due to his insane plays so far this year, JJ Watt. For hotness, Kevin Walter.
NY Giants, because that's the team I grew up watching with my parents. They've been pretty good lately ;D
People around here are mainly Giants or Jets fans. Happily, MH and all of our close friends are Giants fans, and the guys get together for every game and it's a lot of fun. We all went to the Super Bowl victory parades together in 2008 and 2011.
I follow the Devils for hockey since they're the local team and MH got me into them. I follow the Red Sox for baseball because my dad liked them (he was a big Yaz fan in the 60s despite living in New Jersey).

The Packers. I grew up in a Packers household. My favorite player is Donald Driver (WR), even though he's pretty old now.
The team has a lot of history and has an amazing relationship with its fans that just doesn't exist in any other pro sports franchise (it's actually owned by the fans).
The Packers are currently very good. They went through a long period in the 70's and 80's where they were terrible, but they've been good since the mid 90's pretty consistently.

Lurker who loves NFL chiming in......
Another Packers fan. Grew up watching with my dad. Mom loves the Raiders but couldn't get behind that. I also really appreciate what the Packers do as an organization. I love that it's owned by the fans.
Fave players - Brett Farve, Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews
They've been pretty good the last 12-15 years or so.

Cincinnati Bengals here.
I grew up a Browns fan, but DH is a big Bengals fan and eventually converted me. However, choosing to quit the browns wasn't hard. Watching their games was MISERY.
Ravens (I'm in Baltimore so that's why ha) and the Giants. H is a Giants fan to the core so I either have to be one too or be really really bored a lot of the time since he watches everything involving the Giants, talks about them a lot, etc. I'd be annoyed constantly if I hadn't just given in and become a fan.
Broncos because I live in Denver & have grown to like the team/program--I had the best time tailgating in the VIP area & being 10 rows up last year (DH got free tickets).
I feel a mix of love and frustration for Eli Manning.
I will never be able to look at Eli Manning the same way again after speaking to an Eagles defensive player last year who said his favorite QB to hit is Eli because Eli whines for the rest of the game then.
I grew up a Chicago sports fan (Cubs, not Sox), and lived there for a while as well.
DH and I want to check da Bears out next time we come to town, hopefully late next year. It was baseball season when we went last, so we got to go to a Cubs' game, which was awesome.
