ESPN realizes that NFL news is slow right now, but because they have to keep ad revenues up, they have decided to just go ahead and make some. So, they are trying to determine which NFL team truly deserves the moniker "America's Team". Not all teams are eligible, just those with fan bases that give a shit right now. Sorry Browns, you're not even in the running for "Cleveland's Football Team", but you are up for the ESPY "Team uniform that most resembles shit and vomit rolled together".
ESPN is giving you the choice between the Cowboys, Packers, Steelers, and Patriots. Here are some thoughts on the subject:
- The Packers have won 11 NFL championships, but only one "Modern" Superbowl. There is nothing wrong with that. Pack fans, hang your hat on having more respectable team references ala the Lombardi Trophy.
- Patriots suck.
- Former Steelers owner Art Rooney was offered the term America's Team in the 70's. (Go figure, they win four Superbowls.) He turned it down and said he would rather be known as Pittsburgh's team. Art Rooney = Class
- Jerry Jones is a spotlight loving douche bag. Even though he only began ownership in 1989, Jones has done everything possible to bring the NFL spotlight on his extremely underachieving pro football team. If any single person deserves the title, it's him.
- In my opinion, the Detroit Lions should have been considered in this discussion. They could seriously contend for the title.
