No, I'm a 'Skins fan, and I'm only three-and-a-half years dislocated from the area. There's also some trivial fact about the NFL worldwide in which if you ask the common European or Asian or South American (I don't know how or where this statistic came from, assuming they know 2% of what the NFL really is) and 7 out of 10 would reply that the Washington team is "America's (Best Representative/Recognizable of the Product) Team" (as you would have guessed it due to the results, ESPN was left out of this survey).
I'm also a Bucs fan (1A) , a Cardinals fan (
the Redskins of the West, I call them - they once in the same conference: in this same decade, Kurt Warner mancrush have I, whatever else [the coincidental fact that there are no Cardinals in the desert tickles me as well]...) and as recently as (let me count on my fingers) six years ago, I'm also a Chargers fan (Tomlinson awe, as well as the Norv Turner side-effect). I have two teams, yeah, and I adopted the Bolts and Birds both within the past decade, but I still root for them nearly as fervently as my "true" allegiances. Also a fun fact: I can actually call each one of them above teams, in some manner of truthfulness, a "home" team, as I've lived in each of the above four markets (St. Pete, D.C., San Diego, and Scottsdale) for a minimum of four years each.
I'm also slightly invested in the Green Bay Packers, and the Baltimore Ravens, and I'm still shopping around for two more "fringe" teams to root for (tho I suspect I need to branch out into the AFC more).
