I remember the laughing stock team when I 1st got into it (we're talking early-mid 80s) was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Those who knew a bit more about it and had been into it a bit longer seemed to like the 49ers and the Redskins but kids like me seemed to be equally split between the Dolphins and the (LA) Raiders. I remember some Bears fans emerging after their Superbowl win but me and my friends wrote them off as newbies (haha). I didn't notice any Patriots fans until much later.
I love remembering those times. My dad (a rugby fan) refused to have it on at our house so every week I'd go to my friend's to watch the highlights and beat up his little brother, who decided he liked the Jets.
