				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Growing up in Iowa I never really watched the NFL (other than the Super Bowl). Now that I&#8217;m in the real world (and a part of the country where people care more about the NFL than Iowa football) I need to find a team to cheer for! Every Friday without fail a coworker asks me if I&#8217;ve decided to root for the Packers yet. Every Monday without fail my manager asks why I haven&#8217;t started cheering for the Bears yet. Andy&#8217;s been working on brainwashing me into being a Packers fan for months. Who should I cheer for? I don&#8217;t know, but I am working on a list of reasons I should/shouldn&#8217;t cheer for teams (based mostly on colors and mascots).</p>
<p>Who should I cheer for?</p>
<ul>
<li>Cincinnati Bengals &#8211; No. Bizarre looking uniforms.</li>
<li>Pittsburgh Steelers &#8211; Probably not. They have the same uniforms as Iowa, and I don&#8217;t like Iowa&#8217;s uniforms&#8230;</li>
<li>Chicago Bears &#8211; Probably not. Despite hearing daily news updates on everything Bears&#8230; the orange uniforms are bizarre looking and the bear isn&#8217;t very cute.</li>
<li>Detroit Lions &#8211; No. I don&#8217;t want to have to go to Detroit to watch a game for the team I choose, and lions aren&#8217;t blue in nature.</li>
<li>Green Bay Packers &#8211; Sorry Andy, but probably not. I don&#8217;t really like the colors and don&#8217;t understand why cheese is a rallying point.</li>
<li>Minnesota Vikings &#8211; No. Can&#8217;t find it in myself to cheer for a bunch of guys parading around the field in purple (unless there&#8217;s a musical at halftime, then count me in).</li>
<li>Indianapolis Colts &#8211; TBD. I like the colors, horses, and cheering for underdogs, so a possibility, but part of me also wants to cheer for a team with a brightish future, being a Notre Dame fan is hard enough&#8230;</li>
<li>Jacksonville Jaguars &#8211; No. Jaguars are cute, and their attempt at making one ferocious is laughably terrible.</li>
<li>Carolina Panthers &#8211; No. I don&#8217;t like panthers, Jimmy Clausen, or Cam Newton.</li>
<li>New Orleans Saints &#8211; TBD. I find myself wanting them to win, but don&#8217;t really like the colors.</li>
<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers &#8211; Probably not. I&#8217;m not a pirate person. Skulls don&#8217;t inspire me to cheer for a team.</li>
<li>Miami Dolphins &#8211; No. Worst colors in NFL.</li>
<li>New England Patriots &#8211; No. Everyone cheers for them and Tom Brady has oddly blue lips.</li>
<li>Philadelphia Eagles &#8211; No. The eagle looks scary/weird and the colors are bland.</li>
<li>Washington Redskins &#8211; No. &#8220;Redskins&#8221; is not my idea of a cute mascot and I don&#8217;t like the colors.</li>
<li>Oakland Raiders &#8211; No. Colors are boring.</li>
<li>Arizona Cardinals &#8211; TBD. Mascot reminds me of angry birds.</li>
</ul>

<p>*Note: If a team isn&#8217;t listed here it&#8217;s not because I forgot. I am trying to form an opinion of every team, and am only about halfway through my list.</p>
