The season will soon be upon us and I thought it would be good to have a place to banter with each other. So who are your favorite teams? PRO: The New York Jets. Been a fan since 1967 and yes... I am a glutton for punishment. The Jets haven't had a winning season since 2015, and 2010 before that. This could finally be a good year for them, but of course I always say that and am always disappointed. J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets! (Lets hope it won't be too early when J-E-T-S will come to mean Just End The Season)   ![]() Usually me by mid season...   ----- COLLEGE: Penn State. At least there is always optimism with this team. Sadly, I changed cable companies this year and no longer get the Big Ten Network, and will not be able to see several games now. Right now, before the season starts, they are being ranked around 20th because of the situations at quarterback, running back, tight end and defensive line. And there is precious little time for Franklin to get these issues fixed.  Let the games begin! |

Been a Giants fan since I was 10, so 1974. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they really suck.
I am a fan, but not a fanatic. It is always fun to watch the divisional games as my husband is a long time Cowboys fan.
I don't follow college football.

Saquon Barkley is a local guy and I've met and talked to him a couple of times during the time he played at Penn State. Nicest kid you'd ever meet. I wish the Jets would have selected him in the draft that year. |

I once went to a Jets/Bears regular season game, with 3 Bears fans, to the Meadowlands. While we were tailgating before the game I organized a ‘touch’ football game between Jets fans and Bears fans around us. Unfortunately, it soon turned into a full contact tackle game on the macadam parking lot. We were all bruised and bloody and beaten by the time the actual game started. Seems nobody ever wants to invite me back to these kinds of things again.  |

Been a life long Chiefs fan but oddly I find myself cheering on the Raiders.
I'm not much into college football anymore but I've always liked LSU.

I do hope Sam Darnold fares better for the Panthers than he did for the Jets @webster. He sees ghosts on the field, ya know.
Navy was dad's team. He was in the navy during WW2, and partook in D-Day and fought off attacking BF109's with his Liberty ship deck gun. He wasn't too happy when I chose Penn State as my team over Navy, but we still watched the Army-Navy game each year, together.

After about the 5th play I realized I better throw the football away before any of the other team got close to me... they really did want to kill the QB.😁 |

I hope Darnold does as well, though losing one of your potential WR's a month before the season starts doesn't help....Navy was my dad's team as well; he served in the Marine Corps in the late 50's and early 60's with the 2nd Marine Division as a communications specialist and was deployed overseas once, as part of the force off the Lebanese coast in 1958 during the intervention there. He once told me, Diobolic, "Son, if you ever pull for them sons of bitches in New York over Navy, I will haunt your ass in this life and every subsequent one to come."And he meant it, too. |

Sounds like a Marine. I have two of these hats handed down to me from a relative that was an Army lifer. Want one?  |
