RE: ADSactly Sports - A sport fans passion: How I became hooked on the NFL
Football is my favorite team sport. Even though I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I loved the Miami Dolphins (the early 70s Dolphins, the superbowl years, of course). However, since the time Dan Marino retired, my love for the Dolphins has waned, and so has my love for the NFL. I still very much enjoy football, but I get more into the college game. I'm an Oregon Duck fan, so the success they've had up until the last few years after Marcus Mariota left were some pretty awesome times. Now, they're in the middle of rebuilding and who knows how long that's going to take.
If I root for anyone now in the NFL it's the Titans, because of Mariota, and the Patriots, because I admire what they're able to do year after year after year. That's probably controversial to say, but that's okay. It may very well all be coming to an end. :)
