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). Jacksonville was the least popular NFL franchise for the third straight year.

If we could get all the illegal aliens back across the border, the Cowboys would only be the most popular team in Texas.

[Kimmers]

I would have to disagree with this, but then again they did not ask me....

[RckyRaCoCo]

and the Lions are????

OUCH!!!!...WHO THREW THAT ROCK?

[Red Badger]

Lions are probably more popular than Cardinals............

[joebuck]

As a Colts fan I’ll take second place. I know we have the greatest QB ever to play the game and that’s all I really care about.

[Dinsdale]

Who cares which team the weather-vane fans are for this year.

BTW the 'cowgirls' suck. America's team my !#@$ (same goes for the braves).

At last week's steelers' game in Arizona James Harrison, of the Steelers asked the crowd to make noise against the Cards, and the crowd responded.

That's nothing unusual for the steelers but I've never seen that for the dallas team (what's their name?).

Probably more than a couple Packer fans who might argue that point. ;o)

Actually that seems to be usual for any visiting team in Arizona.

Yeah...at 4-0 this year...with five superbowls over franchise history...they really “suck”.

Geeee, u r just as factless as a lib...congrats to lowering yourself to Nancy Pelosi’s level.

I grew up a Bears fan and a Cowboys loather, and while my allegiance has switched to the Chiefs in later years I still can’t stand the Cowboys. I didn’t realize how vocal I was in my disgust for the ‘boys was until one day at church we ran in to the Assistant Pastor, who is a big Dallas fan (and a close friend). He was wearing a Dallas ballcap and my 4 year old daughter looked at him, then tugged my arm and pointed to his head. “Look daddy,” she said, “Goddam Dallas Cowboy.” True story. Swear to God.

...and where are the Patriots?................

Hopefully kicked out of the league for cheating. D@mn Yankees.

[Lee'sGhost]

It still amazes me that they are so stupid they still don’t even know where they’re from.

It’s the IRVING Cowboys, folks.

Jeez, Dallas doesn’t have an NFL team.

"Probably more than a couple Packer fans who might argue that point."

And I might be inclined to agree with them except for the fact their QB has been a complete interception machine over the last five years. Horrible. Four games in '07 doesn't erase that.
