ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Dallas Cowboys may be a few years from their last Super Bowl, but they are the favorite football team among adults who follow professional football, rising one spot since last year. Since this survey began in 1998, the Cowboys have always been in one of the top four positions, usually in the top two. The Indianapolis Colts have continued their steady rise in the rankings and move up one spot, from No. 3 last year to No 2 this year. In 1999, the Colts were tied for No. 27 and have moved up each year since. Rounding out the top five are the Pittsburgh Steelers (No. 3, dropping from No. 1 last year), the Green Bay Packers (remaining at No. 4) and the Chicago Bears (No. 5, moving up one spot).

YaY for the Browns being 13th! Even though they suck too.

Go figure the Cowboys and Colts are most popular...bunch of damn frontrunners amongst football fans.

I remember what Homer Simpson said while watching TV with Maggie one day:

"Look Maggie! Those are the Dallas Cowboys! Daddy's favorite team! And if they lose by less than seven points, daddy will be very happy!"

no surprise there. bad team for many year, few national games, no playoffs

i remember back in the late eighties when the bills were getting good they climbed this chart real fast and ended up near the top. course thats when they had kelly, thurm, bruce, andre, biscuit, et al

then when they lost the sb they tanked in popularity. even when they went back they still stayed low. people didnt want them coming back to try again

then a few years after the last sb loss they started rising again

they dont have a big market or much of a legacy outside of the jimbo years. but everybody loves a winner so if they start doing that theyll get more popular

**** cowboy fans.

i've been talking loads of **** about the cowboys all week so the bills better not let me down or im in for it.

it's pathetic though, most of them don't even know what teams are in each conference. (one of them tried to convince me the bills were in the nfc the other day....)

cowboy fans are the WORST

Because they're 90% bandwagoners.
Like the Fish, can't even sell out, but they've got tons of bandwagon fans.

The Bills are #1 with me, and that's all that matters.
