Blitz,



The Raider Nation bark but are harmless.Eagle,Giant and Brown fans are dangerous.The "Linc" in Philly has its own jail for those clowns.

From what I've seen the sporting culture in Britain is different.No tailgating,cheerleaders and dress crazies.

They don't dress up over here no. Not unless you count replica kits and face painting.

You would be hard pressed to findmore crazy fans than the toon army though. You see them up in Newcastle in the COLD COLD with shirts off in the freezing rain dancing and singing through games.

You guys may dress up and have cheerleaders but the fanaticism with which the English support their teams? I don't think it is matched anywhere on earth. Maybe Argentina with Boca and Rio de Plate but those are just two teams. Over here it's every team.

@BS

Man I have to disagree. Raiders fans come and dress the same no matter how terrible their team is. They tailgate, they scream, they pose, they are into every game and usually growl their team on no matter how bad the score is against them. They constantly look for a murderous tackle and would cheer that if they are loing 42-0.

All the other team's fans turn against them as soon as they are down. And the Eagles fans are notorious for turning against their home team. They are as fairweather as they come. Being drunk and obnoxious does not make you a better fan and the Eagles proved that as they booed Donovan McNabb when he was drafted on draft day when he took the podium. What kinda fan support is that for your new rookie? Even though he has carried them to the NFC championships many times even he says he still remembers that.

Cleveland is second because they were wronged but they are the Cleveland Browns, I mean its CLeveland. LOL

And the Giants fans become Jets fans at the drop of a hat if the Jets are doing better.

I am not a Raider fan at all. I love my Seahawks who constantly give me 8-8 or a playrun year of 9-7. So I am used to the mediocrity and so are the Seahawk fans. We cheer the little things like not being 7-9 or 6-10. We know that we will exit out of the playoffs in the first round, so we just soak up the experience and live it up like the SUper Bowl. Unlike the Raider fans who are in their full dress

@DM

I know that Newcastle fans are crazy, but GB and Chicago fans are just as crazy because they do the same in freezing weather with snow. One year the temp was around 0 F and these fools in GB were shirtless with cheese heads on and the wind was howling with snow everywhere. Talk about candidates for flu or a deadly cold.

I guess I would have to rate Newcastle up their with Raider fans because for them to start every year off with potential and still never to make it to the promised land you have to be a fan to continue to root that club on and for some reason they do LOL

I do not include the trouble makers from anywhere because they seem more bent to entertain themselves than to actually root their teams on.
