Week 3

Good afternoon football fans,

In this week in football, we saw many ups and downs (& I don't mean throwing the pigskin.) There were fans that had no idea what to do with themselves after each one of these games. Today, we are going to focus on the bandwagon fans. I imagine that there were TONS of people rooting & cheering for both the Green Bay Packers & the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night (both with a 2-0 record.) You would have been oblivious to have missed the weight of this game. Even if you had no idea who was starting for either team, you knew that they were BOTH UNDEFEATED. As it turned out, the Cowboy fans prevailed, & were able to wear there blue & white all week to work. Green Bay fans, however, decided to jump on the Cowboy caravan after the loss in Wisconsin. Good luck next week, followers.

Until the next whistle blows..

Opening Sunday

Good evening Sports Fans,

In the world of football today, many of fans were out & about on this Sunday. Today's hometown fan is probably the easiest to chronicle because of all the home wins this week.

I am sure that every fan in the New England/New Orleans/New York area are still flooding the streets thanks to their home team wins. The fans will still be sporting their jerseys until they walk into the office tomorrow morning. These type of fans are the ones who are willing to wear pajama pants with the Steelers logo to the in-laws house on Christmas morning.

Later this week, I will be telling the tale of the fairweather fans & hopefully I will be able to describe the term "bandwagon" to strangers of this type of support.

Until next kickoff..

Pre-Season

This week is slow for most football fans. No one seems to want to care about which 3rd string lineman is getting playing time, and which rookie is outstanding on the sidelines. Everyone is waiting to cut to the chase, and follow their team. Most fans are dusting off their jerseys, caps, and favorite mugs anxiously awaiting opening day.

This blog will follow the emotions and feelings of different types of fans -- ranging from fair weather to fanatics. Are you ready for some football?
