Your "2nd Team"

[Cornelius]

I grew up being a bigger Browns fan than a Lions fan. Loved the Bernie Kosar era before Belichick came in and fucked that up. Family is from Ohio and I'm from Michigan. I became much more of a Lions fan when the Browns went to Baltimore. Also, it's hard to get kicked in the head every Sunday from one team let alone two.

The Falcons have grown on me over the years.

Still wouldn't call them my team, and I still love to laugh at them, but I do enjoy watching them play every once in a while.

I remember growing up rooting for the Bills in the Super Bowl and listening to the games on the radio of them in the playoffs.

The Browns I always had this odd thoughtof them being the Bears of the AFC as a child. So I followed them a bit. Loved Eric Metcalf.

I've always liked the way the Steelers play and if I had to pick a team for the Chiefs to emulate, then it would be Pittsburgh.

Colts & 9ers are my teams. Always have been, always will be.

Jets all the way, but I don't "mind" the Giants (when they're not giving me shit :shifty and whatever team Ray Rive is on (currently the Ravens). Always root against the Pats as well, even tho I'm becoming a fan of Gronk. Also like Rob Ryan, so any team he's coaching for as well.

I'm a Redskins fan, but with proximity, I've always liked the Steelers as well. Also have followed the Chiefs some in the past.

Now that I think of it, there were some teams I "liked" growing up but I wouldn't put them in the "2nd team" category...

I remember really being into the Bears in '85. I was always a huge Walter Payton fan, and almost every kid in the planet wanted to be Jim McMahon that year.

I remember kind of being into the Jets. The years with Richard Todd, Freeman McNeil, Lam Jones, Wesley Walker, Mickey Shuler, and the New York Sack exchange. Joe Klecko was actually from my area, his brother still runs a landscaping business around here as far as I know. Plus they were green like the Eagles and had a similar chant, so I always felt a connection.

I loved watching the NBC 4 o'clock ET games when I was a kid, and usually the Chargers were on. Where I was it was cold and dark already, but I turn that game on and the sun's out, everybody is in t-shirts, and the Chargers are just pitching the ball around like it's 2011. Loved watching Dan Fouts and Kelen Winslow. Wes Chandler always looked like the fastest guy on the field, and Charlie Joiner was always the "old receiver" who was productive in spite of his age.

Tie between the Broncos and whoever is playing the Packers.

I'd say the Giants...I'm from NY and I got into Jets, so I'ma die hard there but if there was any other team I'd root for, it would be the Giants because they are from NY as well..
