Dallas most popular NFL team, Jags least
Yahoo Sports / Harrisinteractive ^ | 10/2/07 | Staff

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.

I also root for OU ( I went there ) instead of UT.

Then you must have just loved last week's Texas - Kansas State game?

It’s the IRVING Cowboys, folks. Jeez, Dallas doesn’t have an NFL team.

Soon to be the ARLINGTON Cowboys.

And, Jerry Jones is as much of a character as George Steinbrenner.

"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.

As a Dallas Cowboys fan since I was about 11 years old, I always HATED that "America's Team" stuff. It leads to jokes like this: "Name two NFL teams whose names start with 'F'?" Answer: "The Falcons and 'those f'ing Cowboys!"

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.

"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.

That is an offensive statement and just wrong; they would be the second most popular pro football team in Texas:)

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

Dallas, smallas... ho hum. The great history and tradition of the Packers makes them an easy pick as "America's Team"
