    Question Who is your adopt-a-team for the playoffs?

    Seen some scattered threads on this but here's a place for all to chime in. Yes, some are totally against the idea of rooting for anyone else but their team, but for the rest of us jaded fans who are receptive to the idea of pulling for another club just for a temporary basis, who will you root for?

    Mine is Green Bay mainly since I married into it.

    whoever is playing NE
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Anyone but Dallas and NE. If that ends up being the superbowl, I might not watch it. OK, I still will, but I won't like it!

    Green Bay. Brett Favre is a hard guy to not root for

    I think it is a given that the Pats win the whole thing though. Soo much talent, and good luck just seems to follow them all over this year

    If the Giants weren't in it, I'd root for GB. But they'll prolly get knocked out early, so GB is next in line.

    I wouldn't Mind seeing Fletcher-Baker make it deep. He was a great player here and while I understand why he wasn't resigned I still am a fan of his.

    Jacksonville for sure. Might be the hardest hitting defense in the playoffs and they're my 2nd team besides Buffalo.

    I have to agree with some other posters...Anybody who plays against New England and Dallas, and I usually root for underdogs.

    I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bucs go far either, although there were way too many bandwagon fans after they won their superbowl. I hope the Jags kick the crap out the Steelers, and then beat the hell outta New England.

    GB vs. Indi but I have a soft spot for TB since my sister lives there.

    The Dallas Cowboys.


    There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
    Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
    The only answer I found for all this hurt
    Is there ain't not answer here on earth
