    One of the most unsupported teams in the NFL. Its sad really the can't get fans. I can see the Jags being moved out of Jacksonville in the next 5 years.

    Why they were given a franchise is a mystery to me. I still think its hilarious that the NFL could never sustain an LA team, 2nd biggest market in the States.

    Bah, they have no history anyways, one of them expansion teams along with the Panthers. I remember the early games between the Pats with Mr Franchise Bledsoe and the Jags and Brunell was a thorn in our side any time we played them although we beat them in the games.

    Actually I had to go and check there about whether Art Modell still owned the Ravens, I used to always hate them because of what he did but I see he sold them. I would be roaring them to defeat or in fact any team he had any financial involvement with if I was aware of it.

    For those who don't know, the Ravens were formerly the Clevelend Browns and he moved them to Baltimore which upset most NFL fans at the time. It was great when the Browns got back in.

    after a few years of watching i figured out what i admired in teams and what i wanted in ''my'' team - i love defences that can close teams down, make big hits and having watched a few comeback games i saw a lot of heart in the STEELERS!!!!! let's go superbowl win number 6!

    At least the NFL sorted out the Cleveland mess quick enough, the situation when the Colts left Baltimore for Indy was a joke and poorly handled.

    Wow am I the only Charger fan here!?.......

    Been a diehard Bolts fans since the early 80s. Like quite a few of you caught the bug watching it on Ch 4 on a sun night. Wrote to a few teams (like u do when u are a young lad) asking for posters, stickers etc. This was pre-internet ofcourse. The Chargers PR people were so good to me they gained a fan for life. First got to see em live in '94, the Superbowl year!. Have seen them 4 times since including ofcourse London this year.

    Having lived through those dark days in the 80s and late 90s early noughties I have been naturally delira with the last few years only to be let down more often than not.

    Nevermind I'll bleed blue and gold forever!!.

    Oh and anyone who remembers a certain D end in the 80s by the name of Leslie O'Neal will see where I got my handle!.
    kinda watched american football on Channel 4 when ever i was allowed stay up but only really got into it in 1994 when a few of the guys in my class in school started picking teams to support. I liked the bolt on the helmet so i chose the chargers....and they made it to the Superbowl that year beating the Steelers in the AFC Champ game (number 55 was just pure awesomeness that day). Natrome Means was my sort of player....north-south, no other way!

    People I know in America are from Boston and their team are the New England Patriots so that was that for me...will be going over in August 2010 so hopefully will be able to catch a pre-season game.

    Try get a regular season game, they put zero effort in the pre-season games!

    It has to be August coz that's when the Saw Doctors travel over there for their tour, to see a game too would just be the topping on the pizza! :D

    I moved to Phoenix 1 year ago. Suddenly the Cards have their best season ever. Good luck follows me everywhere.

    I had a Bears cap when I was about nine or ten.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 804 ✭✭✭yerayeah


    In a roundabout, complex sequence of flipped coins and names picked out of hats I ended up with the Broncos!! Only got to see one game this season for a variety of reasons and that was watching the Chargers stuff us! If the new set-up can sort the D we'll be a serious prospect (I hope:D).
