The money a person would get for spilling the beans would be unreal and news sources would just throw them the bank to bring down the largest sport in the US.

Oh contraire bud. The guy who would even consider spilling the beans would be capped ASAP, and the media wouldn't even consider bringing down one of its big money makers now would it? Where would the fall/winter revenue go for all the networks if the NFL was covered as a fraud? Idiots on ESPN, etc would be more than willing to go along with the fixing if were true. Why do you think all the networks hype the NFl anyway? They aren't going to bring down a source of what, say billions in revenue? When was the mass media ever about the turth in recent time anyway? I don't think the games are fixed per say, but I think they are "controlled" during big games. When you see teams getting flagged left and right all of a sudden when they went through the regular season with a relatively low number of holding calls, you have to wonder. Also, why are some calls left unchallengable? You get too many phantom calls on holding than anything else. League has too much power that can indeed lead to a permanent change in momentum in any one game. Case in point, the SB here in Detroit. I was for the Steelers, but I came away from that one thinking the Seahawks indeed did get hosed. Yellow flags killed their momentum from possibly putting the game away in the first half. The penalties called in the NFL are too subjective and thus can be manipulated easily.

In the spirit of this thread I'll say Bills. I've always had a soft spot for them and they are a pretty nice club, even though Ralph Wilson sucks at life and hates the bigger revenue clubs simply cuz he's not a good businessman and doesn't know how to market the team.

Me changing teams would never happen though, simply because I love the Redskins.

Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs (I'll bet this gets the most votes)
Oakland Raiders
Detroit Lions
San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Rams

You know you come up with the weirdest and hardest questions. Who did the one about picking a rival team jersey? I couldn't answer that one.

Ok here ya go. I've always liked the black and silver (Raiders) however I can't stand Davis as much as I like the team and don't want to support him so...nix.

I would figure most people would pick the Cheifs only cause it's another Indian team and we gotta stick together against the negative name tiranny. LOL. But I gotta nix.

I never liked the whole Buffalo on the helmet thingy so nix.

I have dispised the 49ers since the 80's and their SB runs. Sometimes battling us. Their cockyness. Thank god they have sucked for a while. nix.

That leaves the Bengals, Lions, and Rams. ..

I always liked the Bengals stripes kinda a toss up but I'm unhappy with their coach still since leaving us so nix.

Lions are always bad. Like someone else said ...you can't go any further down but I can't see them in the SB so nix.

I did root for the Rams when they had their SB run. Their offense was a work of art and picked apart many defenses. Fast high scoring. I know, I know since then they have lost all that. Didn't Saunders go back to them? Anyway I guess I would have to pick the Rams. But their emblem on their hats look stupid. Oh well.

The only way I could stop backing the skins is if they no longer had a team in the NFL and then I have no clue who I would decide to follow. Maybe the Ravens or Carolina because both are abouth the same distance from my home. Maybe I'd stop watching pro ball all together and start watching Curling Curling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's the catch though, it has to be a team that finished below .500 each of the last two seasons so your choices are as follows

Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs (I'll bet this gets the most votes)
Oakland Raiders
Detroit Lions
San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Rams

The 49ers, because they most closely resember the Skins - rich tradition, uniform colors, play outdoors, Super Bowls, etc.

[MiraclesHappen07]

Hmmm, if i had to i would go with the niners. They should promise against us, and where a tough team when Singletary took over. He's tough enough and should be able to get that team back to success

[skinsfan_nn]

If you change you allegiance....huh. WTF

Your a fair weather never was. YOU AREN'T WORTH A SHIT AND WON'T BE MISSED, SO CARRY YOUR ASS! BYE!

[Eknox]

I'm a flintstone, so I'm rolling with the Motor City Lions.....

[SC Skins Fan]

Chiefs. Strong fan base. Not that far removed from being a good team. QB from Coastal Carolina. Solid history (Lamar Hunt, Len Dawson, etc.). Plus Scott Pioli.

[TheSmurfs22]

Either the Chiefs (been to one of their games Arrowhead is a great old stadium), or the Lions just because you can't hate them. They don't do anything to anyone!

[SkinzzFan]

This thread encourages anarchy and should be closed immediately. I beg the Mods to please stop this madness and close this thread!!

Shame on everyone who actually named a team they would begin cheering for...you should all be cained in public!!

If you ain't down with the Burgundy and Gold I got two words for ya...

HAIL!

People are taking this way too seriously.

Nah, just having fun with it. At the end of the day, I don't care who cheers for the Skins and who doesn't. My comments were purely in jest just like others. Perhaps you are just taking our comments too seriously.

I do wonder about anyone who quotes Ron White...

HAIL!

Perhaps, it has been said that sarcasm does not translate well over the internet and frankly I don't know you well enough to know the difference.

How can you question any man's sincerity who quotes the Tater? It is obvious that he has a screw loose and should be taken lightly...Yes, I just refered to myself in the 3rd person.

Good point.

I actually like him. I'm just jealous he makes so much money just by being his ordinary self.

HAIL!
