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 Huston loved football so much, it would be Go Oilers!
Houston absolutely does love football. Many of us are simply Cowboys fans first, and Texans/ Oilers fans second.

Then you must have just loved last week's Texas - Kansas State game?
Soon to be the ARLINGTON Cowboys.
Then you must have just loved last week's Texas - Kansas State game?
Are you on the pipe it is all about winning the big one not individual games during the year as nice as it is to win them all.
Brady 3 - Manning 1.
More than the Colorado game :)
At the store, buying more video tapes!
"You know as painful as it is I had to let a few people go over the years. Yogi Berra, Lou Pinella, Bucky Dent, Billy Martin, Dallas Green, Dick Howser, Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Scott Marrow, Billy Martin, Bob Lemmon, Billy Martin, Gene Michael, Buck Showalter...George, you didn't hear that from me. . . . George!"
Yeah, well it’s a lot easier to win when you cheat like the Pats do. If they had any confidence they wouldn’t be cheating and they were doing it a long time before they got caught.
That would tend to explain all the favorable calls...
GO COWBOYS!!!!
It was stated several times in last Sunday night’s game that the commissioner has said that no advantage was gained by the filming incident. I guess this horse just isn’t dead for those who can’t seem to beat them, like Whine-gini, and won;t be until they win the SB again this year after being watched under a microscope all year long.
They still win by preparing and playing hard.
and cheating. The commish, anxious to avoid a scandal, didn't even deal with the fact the Patriots have been stealing the other teams radio signals and plays sent to the QB for years. Wouldn't want to tarnish that NFL image would we?
I feel the same way as a Redskins’ fan. I always support Giants and Eagles over Cowboys each time.
BTW, why don't we expel them out of the division and replace them with Baltimore Ravens? Geographically it makes sense from DC to Baltimore to Philadelphia and then NYC.
Same reason the Colts are in the AFC South inspite of being North of the entire AFC North, rivalries are very profitable, and the current versions of the NFC East and AFC North are rivalry laden. Without a major sea change in who hates whom those divisions will never change.
GO TEXANS!!!
You got that right!
Dallas, smallas... ho hum. The great history and tradition of the Packers makes them an easy pick as "America's Team"
