In all honesty, there are only a few teams in the NFL that are respected. They are respected for one reason.....they have a history of winning. People jump on and off bandwagons, but teams with a history of winning earn respect. As much as I hate the Cowboys; they always earn respect because they have a history of winning. I knew the Cowboys were called "America's Team" but was truly floored to hear that 25% of all NFL merchandise sales are Dallas Cowboys related items.

Probably the single-greatest smashmouth football play I have ever seen in person was Bo Jackson running over The Boz. I have seen other plays that were more significant but that was just incredible.Comment

For all it's worth...I thought Jim Zorn was a great QB...too bad he didn't have the team behind him....for the franchise was brand new and just beginning...

I respect anyone who sticks by their team regardless. It has to be really hard to be a Detroit Lions or Arizona Cardinals fan. Two of the oldest franchises in the NFL and they have won one championship a piece (pre-Superbowl days) but nothing since. Around in my parts; it is hard to be a Redskins fan. I live in Western MD. where it seems to be split between Ravens, Redskins, and Steelers fans. I guess I am just old school and never jumped on the Ravens bandwagon. I grew up closer to D.C. than Baltimore when the Colts were around (there are still a ton of fans in the area who still follow them). My dad was so much a Redskins fan that I still remember if we were out of town; we would listen to the game on the radio or stop somewhere to watch the game. I have vague recollections of SB VII when I would have been 5 or 6 years old and my dad yelling at the TV in black and white more so than any other game. When I asked my mom about it; she said "yep, that was SB VII""The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

If you go pre-SB days, the Bears were the monsters of the gridiron. They won or were in more championship games then I can remember. The Redskins have won 3 Super Bowls, Appeared in 5, Won 2 NFL Championships, Appeared in 5 so 10 appearances is pretty darn good over a near 80 year history. Ironically, everyone thinks the Steelers are great but they are one of the oldest teams in the NFL and didn't win anything until the Superbowls started."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

The best era for the Bears were the 1940s. They dominated those years.
