I was really into it. Redskins were my team, but back in those days Chicago Bears were the dominant team, with that fat bastard the Fridge, Walter Payton wide receiver.

Couldn’t not like the LA Raiders with that badge and the whole Ice cube thing.

Watching it on channel 4 was good. But going to see a live game was really boring as it’s just stop start all the time and a 60 min game takes about 3 hours to complete.

Walter Payton was a running back ffs.

Anyway, Steelers all the way for me, from day dot.

We could chat all day about this in the new special thread, eh?

Originally a Cheesehead ... but not due to a lack of personal hygiene... :)

Middle daughter did a school exchange with a girl from Philly when she was 15 - still friends 10 years on and met up in Florence this summer - so we became 'Eagles' fans after her visit as her family are well into it ...

Ah yes he was that. Didnt realise he died young only 46 years old
 
Jerry Rice was the wide receiver I was thinking about. But he played for the San Francisco 49ers

I liked the concept the merchandise

Washington Redskins were my fave outfit due to that amazing looking native Indian elder as the logo…along with Miami Dolphins and their perfectly paired orange and turquoise colour combo. The Raiders stuff Ice Cube wore, the Fridge, fat bastard playing for the Bears. The Cincinnati Bengals for one of the coolest helmets with the tiger stripes etc etc

Apart from that didn’t interest me as a sport, tried here and there to watch a game…really struggled

Never understood American Football and probably never will, but I have a redskins t-shirt with the Indian on it, which is now impossible to buy because they changed the branding and nickname (they're the Washington Braves now).

Support the Chiefs then.

Cool name(obvs), plus they are fair decent currently.

Washington are now The Commanders BTW, which is a tragic name.

Not really interested in gridiron tbh.

The only live sporting event I’ve attended in the US was the MLS “New York Derby” between NYCFC and the New York Red Bulls at Yankee Stadium. The standard was appalling, way below League One, despite the presence of Lampard and Pirlo (both dialling it in). Bradley Wright Phillips got a hat trick, that I remember.

Don’t know what I’d do for live sport if I lived in the States. Watch some athletics in summer maybe.

What? The 49ers were the dominant team of the 80s, and the Redskins were the next best.
