Was having a conversation with a buddy about worst fan bases in the NFL. Never done a poll before, maybe this would make for a good poll? But anyway, my buddy's top 5 worst is as follows, worst being number one:
He also mentioned a great disdain for the Niners and Jets fans.
My list is actually quite close to his, but I've gotta have the Bronco and Raider fans in the discussion. Raider fans are basically like Cowboy fans, except almost a little worse in their delusion.
Anyway, who do you have for your top 5 worst NFL fan bases? LFG! [Reply]
From personal experience, I can honestly say the only fans that I have personally encountered who were dickheads were hands down Pats fans during their 20 year run of domination.
I mean, I know Raiders fans, and they can be idiots, but no worse to me than anyone else.
Donkey fans are pretty humble these days, but lurking underneath that is a seething hatred for the Chiefs. Does that make them bad fans? Nah, just pitiful idiots who root for a shitty cheating franchise.
Bills fans. From what I see, they do not seem like people I'd like to hang out with. I dunno, dildos thrown on the field, jumping on to burning folding tables at tailgates...just a bunch of morons really. Oh, and their team fucking sucks.
I've been going to a draft party the last 3 years, and there are 3 Bengal fans always there. They are funny as hell and pretty cool guys, so I can't say anything bad about them.
In the end, I like NFL fans. Every time I go to a Chiefs game I always walk around the parking lot and hang out with the opposing fans. I've never had a problem, just some good natured ribbing and usually a (perhaps sincere, perhaps not) "good luck" before the game.
I have more problems with college football fans. That's for another thread I'm guessing. [Reply]

No way they are even close to the top half.
I feel an eerie kinship with Bills fans. I relate to their suffering. Bungles fans, however, have this odd arrogance despite having 0 rings to show for it. [Reply]
How are we defining "worst"? Is this the worst people to sit among on game day as a visiting fan? The worst people to be sitting next to on a plane? The worst people in general?
Culturally, I'm a westerner. I don't understand a lot of stuff that happens east of the Mississippi. So some insulated culture east of the Mississippi is going to more challenging to deal with, like Pittsburgh. When I think of Pittsburgh, I think of that really annoying reporter or whatever who is always angry, or that weird commentator with the nasal voice. I figure most Pittsburgh fans are angry about living in Pittsburgh and when they talk a little spittle flies out.
At a football game? Obviously Raiders fans. The signals from their ankle monitors interferes with my phone. [Reply]
