i grew up a loyal lions fan for 30 years ,but im more a fan of the nfl game than a team . a few years back, i noticed when i watched a game other than the lions, i enjoyed myself . and when i turned back to the lions, it was like gaging down liver oil and saying "ive always watched them, must continue". ive always latched on to other teams who had a shot for a title even when i watched the lions though since they always suck and nfl is the only sport i like. i liked the 80s bears and giants. really enjoyed the favre packer teams/games . when i saw the patriots on the super bowl runs, i thought coach was the most interesting ive seen in a long time . and i thought brady , along with montana was the most intuitive qb ive ever seen . eventually i wanted to get the ticket so i could follow the patriots as long as coach and brady are there . before i had the ticket and had to watch what was on, i would read nfl history more . so i got to enjoy the history of the packers, bears and steelers . i also do not enjoy dome games . so was drawn to teams that play in a great outside stadium. i never liked the patriots before, but like them now . i used to like the giants and hate them now . go with what you like . some like 1 team loyal . others like the league . there are no rules for enjoying something .
