If you do it right, which means fully taking on the Yank mindset, then you're allowed shameless team-switching as often as you want, plus you get to put Cowboys stars all over your car too, so don't feel like you can't make a mistake and then "fix" it later.

*But if you want to go deep into Yank culture, with football team selection that borders on religion (or English football support), then delve into the dark pool of college football

**Maybe it's fair to add that in some parts of America, specifically the Atlantic seaboard down to DC, NFL teams are religiously followed, but for the midwest and South, up to Denver and excepting Chicago, college football is family and religion rolled into one; once you go West of Denver it all changes, but most of these people are weird anyway

This is even more true than the fact that kopites are gobshites. College is where the passion is.

S - E - C
 

Im English, living in the States. I live in Alaska, so no team here - everyone supports the Seahawks. My wife is from Seattle, so I 'follow' them.

Not being American/loyal/born etc.......you have the luxury of picking and choosing, and switching! lol

I also 'follow' the SF 49er's (went to see them pay at their old Candlestick Park place a few times as an ex of mine's parents had season tickets), the Colts (as I thought Peyton Manning was ace and their colors are very EFC) and the Tennessee Titans this year as I love their ne uniforms lollol

But it was against our 3rd and 4th stringers haha!!

McVay also used a vanilla playbook.

Also what has Sean Payton got against McVay. He was throwing shade and being childish in the game like challenging a 2 pt conversion really?

There was only one 1st string player used in the entire game only because he will serve a suspension for the first 3 games.

In big news though Donald has finally signed

If it was 28-0 Rams, would you be saying the same? Kidding aside, the Rams should be good this year. And why did we play in the preseason when we meet in the regular season as well?

Doubt i would mate the preseason means nothing. Most coaches use vanilla playbooks, try things they will never do and simply have fun.

That and it's all backups and hopefuls trying to earn a spot. Not stuff to get excited about. Except maybe the gem or too that gets spotted.

We shall see November 4th when the real contest takes place.

Think you'll miss Gurley all that much? You have three of your first four at home and the Vikes are the only really decent team.

How on earth do you pick a team to support. Got pretty into this over the last few years, watch far too many silly programmes about it (QB1, All or Nothing, last chance U) but can't pick a team...

If you were to go with an Everton related team, probably closest similarities would be the Bears, Dolphins or 49ers. Won stuff in the 80s but nothing but misery and heartache since
