best fans in the NFL

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11386 ... -best-fans

Hold on a sec. Packers, Broncos, Pats and Saints? In this 'analysis' do you notice these teams have the top 4 QBs in the league?

Best fans to me show when stadiums are still packing through good and bad years. My guess for the Top 5 list would be Packers, Bears, Steelers, Broncos and Bears. Cowboys up there as well.

Weren't Saint fans wearing bags on their heads at one point?

interesting article though.

If this is the same one that was kicking around a handful of days ago, it was based on how many people self identified as a fan of the local team. The cities that had the highest % of population that claimed to be a fan topped the list.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but who cares? If people don't like our team or fanbase, oh well.
Besides, everyone hates a champion! Embrace the hate, we are the new "bad guys"! :lol:

People on this very board had bag over their heads avatars in 2009, and in fact one of them started a thread about trying to get everyone to do it too.

Yes, a number of Saints fans did show up at games with a paper bag on their heads. It occurred during the latter part of the 1980 season and the very beginning of the 1981 season. A New Orleans radio personality name Buddy Diliberto begged Saints fans to boycott the games after a horrendous 1980 season to protest the Saints front office and their personnel decision making. The Saints fan refused to take part in the boycott so Diliberto had the idea of wearing a bag as protest. As many as 200 fans responded over the final few games and the first few the following season. A change in management was made and the brief history of the famous Saints bagheads was over.

I remember that small pocket of fans showing up on sportscasts and people making the false assumption that it was widespread. It wasn't, but that small group made Diliberto even that much more famous.

Guido, there's a little more to that picture than non-Seahawks fans probably realize. Notice the word "dirt" written on the side?

Cool. Very much like the Saints fans of 1980-81. It was a form of protest. Not one of shame.

Ahh, Buddy D. I miss that old fart. Him and his "squirrels". :lol:

went to my first game at the clink for the Monday night football vs saints..the noise and passion from the fans was something to behold.
and I hv followed soccer all over England and Europe for over 30 years ( season ticket holder at arsenal for 24 years)and that game is up there with the best support ive ever seen live.im now torn..im looking forward to coming for the games vs dallas and the jets,
I will not go to games at Wembley because I don't agree with it.
seattle is like my second home and the seahawks have the best fans in the nfl/nhl/mlb
so whoever did the poll can stick it..if no one likes us we don't care..rant over..go hawks

Must be tough being a Packers fan...Having back to back Hall of Fame QBs and Elite QB play from 1992-Current

Im actually shocked they were only able to win 2 superbowls with that good of QB play for so long.

Well look at it this way, Jesus had a father and he played for the Packers, even he could not bring them to the promised land at one time.
