The two most hated teams in the NFL.
Raiders - since the Bo Jackson days
Cowboys - family are fans

I’ve got a buddy like that. Grew up in Iowa but likes the 49ers, Lakers, Yankees and the fvcking Wolverines. I can’t have a serious sports discussion with someone like that.Vikings, unfortunately.
But I couldn't live with myself if I was a bandwagon fan of the Cowboys or Steelers or somebody like that. Nothing worse than a Cowboys/Yankees/Lakers fan living in Iowa.
So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Just for the sake of accuracy, Rocky Bleier played his entire 11-year NFL career with the Stillers. But otherwise, cool story.While growing up as a kid, I cheered for the Bears because they were the closest NFL franchise to where I lived and had Gayle Sanders and Rocky Bleier, not to mention Dick Butkus. Nowadays though, I tend to root for the teams with my favorite players.
You're right. I was actually thinking of Brian Piccolo who teamed up with Sayers. I did like Bleier as well since he played in the NFL even after sustaining some severe war wounds in Vietnam. I thought of him as a hero.Just for the sake of accuracy, Rocky Bleier played his entire 11-year NFL career with the Stillers. But otherwise, cool story.

Always have been Raider nemesis going back to Christian Okaye and Marty Schottenheimer days.Chiefs. Started in the early 70’s. Len Dawson was still QB. Most of the early greats were still playing.
Then, major suckage. For decades.
Now, I reap the rewards. And all the hatred. It’s glorious.
Used to, but don't hate the Raiders. The games, and division are more exciting when the Raiders are good.Always have been Raider nemesis going back to Christian Okaye and Marty Schottenheimer days.
This right here.Steelers
first exposure to NFL football as a 7 year old and who was on top at the time? Pittsburgh.
Stuck ever since. If you survived the 80's as a Steeler fan you're most definitely a die hard fan. Tough decade.
