Ok Im going with this list

1.New England Patriots(They are so good people hate them because they beat there team)

2. Dallas Cowboys(they are good too and the playoff situation and Tony Romo)

3.Pittsburg Steelers(I know that there are alot of Steeler fans out there and boy are they disapointed in there team.)


Ok, hatred for a team can grow a couple of ways
1. A general perception that a team gets a tad more credit than it deserves.
2. A high degree of success - this hate tends to ebb and flow as no team is successful forever.
3. A just plain bad team...so:

1. Dallas Cowboys - I think any team that a team decides to go by "America's Team" tends to tick off all of us "other" Americans who don't necessarily believe this to be true. Their owner does Pepsi commercials. Their fans jump on and off the bandwagon so fast you get dizzy. First Romo is an MVP, then he's a hedonist only interested in Jessica. It's called overexposure. Fortunately we're done being exposed for the year.

2. New England - Success breeds contempt. In any sport, this level of winning causes hate. We hate the coach and his slovenly ways, the QB in his press conference velvet smoking jacket, the fans, the whole 9 yards.

3. The Raiders - They used to just be the bad boys of the league. Now, they stink. The owner is as crazy as a s-house rat. The fans are thugs who would rather dress up in costumes than watch the game - and who can blame them...did I mention they stink?


Forfeited Turn


Well I guess that's it then...but DaMasta, I don't know why I get penalized. You gave me a walkover early in the week, and I didn't know you gave him a do-over. He's the one who forfeited, not me.


I get all of your teams but why are the patriots 2.Ever one is sick and tired of the patriots they all have beat are teams and we hate them(unless you like the patriots)The stellers have so many fans that it is hard to not be mad at them for right now they are hated but it may ware off soner or later.


Granted, it's close, but only if you have been a fan of the NFL this decade. Prior to 2001, you would be hard pressed to find a whole lot of haters of the Pats. Even those eary successes, people didn't hate because it was the "Tom Brady unheralded QB" story. Now of course, things are different.

The Cowboys are number 1 on my list for a lot of reasons. 1. Success - even more, over the decades, than the Pats. 2. Jerry Jones - I'm just tired of seeing him on the sidelines at games. Owners should sign the checks and collect the huge profits. 3. The whole "America's Team" line of BS. Please. Enough Already. It's just not true.

History says the Cowboys just give you more to hate than the Pats...but give 'em time, they are closing fast.

Is this currently or of all time?

Currently
#1- NE- Everyone is bitter that thier team isn't 17-0 (just admit it, I did)
#2- Dallas- WOW did you see all of the Cowboy hate come out when they lost, it was just wrong
#3- San Diego- See what packfan4 said, 1 talented player and 54 big mouthed tools

people don't really even hate the Raiders anymore, they are too lousy of a team. It is comical, I actually feel for thier fans, ok no I don't, but Oakland is 4th at best this year.

Actually I would say that the Steelers would be one of the most loved teams, there are Steeler fans EVERYWHERE, they have quite a following.

packfan4- i wouldn't say the chargers are the cockiest team ever, I would only say Philip River's is the biggest d-bag i know.

actually felton, watch the team interviews from this week, actual chargers quotes

"Gabney? Gabrey, nope don't know any of those guys names."
"NE is the team that is scared right now, they are more afraid of us than we are of them, and for good reason we are the better team."

Neither of those were from Rivers

you get a handful of players like that on every team - randy moss would do that on NE. I'm just saying I was watching the Colts Chargers game last sunday, and whenever he felt like it, rivers would taunt the crowd and go exchange words with them. There are no other qbs in this league that i know of that do that, most of them have more class than that.

yeah, I would also say that most other QB's have more talent than that as well. Rivers= Ryan Leaf 2.0.
Merriman= Biggest baby in sports
And there are a few others talking trash as well, LT isn't one of those, and the older LT gets the sooner the Bolts can look forward to 3-13 seasons

merriman is not the biggest baby in sports.
He's an animal on the field.

Not so much flyerskid, he WAS an animal, then they took away his roids, now he gets jacked up by Jones-Drew, and cries when a TE "Hits him too hard"

For me the teams I would obviously dislike would be the rivals to my squad. But to actually look at it the reason I am going to list these teams are simply because of their obnoxious fan base or their lame owners, My most hated teams are

1.Baltimore
2.San Diego
3.Philly

The reason why I didn't list the Raiders cause I think as we all know Al Davis is the most obnoxious owner of all the teams is because I grew up likeing them. So I can understand why they are on peoples list as public enemy #1. But Baltimore is absolutly by far the most obnoxious fan base and boring team to watch right now. It probably didn't help that growing up I was at an equal distance from Pittsburgh, Philly and Bmore. And the fact that my parents house was a die hard Steeler home didn't help either. My buddy plays for the saints so there for when he got drafted that scratched them off my list, otherwise i would have listed them as well. Hate Dallas because of jones, and the only reason why everyone hates New England is because they are the team to beat. Our team isn't undfeated so there for were all gonna be haters on the team that is.

By the way the Steelers have the biggest fan base in football so they can't be the most hate for the hippies that are trying to throw their name around.

For me it's Dallas, Miami, New England. I'm a Buffalo Bills fan which should explain all 3.
