On December 4th, 1971, I became a ...
Cowboys fan for life. That day, I was eight years old living in South Carolina and I was watching the Cowboys vs. Jets on TV. The Cowboys won 52-10 and I remember starting to pull for the Cowboys during the game. As fate would have it, my dad came in from work later that day and said that we would be moving to Dallas! We moved to Dallas a week later and the Cowboys won the Super Bowl that year and the rest is history. Go Cowboys.

On Christmas day 1971 I became a Chiefs Fan except that the Chiefs lost that day against the Dolphins in the longest game ever! I was 11 and I couldn't get over Ed Podolaks effort that day!!

January 20, 1980
As a 6-year-old, I decided I couldn't possibly support the same football team my dad did, the Los Angeles Rams, so on the morning of Super Bowl XIV, I bet him a dollar the Steelers would win - basically because I thought they looked awesome in black.
Then came a back-and-forth game that is one of the most underrated Super Bowls of all time, and a 31-19 Steeler win, and I've been a fan ever since. Sitting now watching ESPN Classic - they have an old Auburn-Georgia game on and Hines Ward is quarterback for the Bulldogs.

I remember that game Roo. Specifically Lynn Swann making an amazing catch (am I thinking of the right game?). That might have caused me to become a fan too, if not for the fact that my Dad had already indoctrined me with a love for the Packers by that time.

I became a Stiller fan......
waaaaaayyy back in 1975 when I watched my first game Superbowl IX and it was on a big screen tv. If you can imagine a 9 year old looking @ Joe Greene and LC Greenwood bringing the pimp hand down on the vikes.....ahhh it was enough to make your eyes water. From that day on Stiller fan for life!

"Hey Kid, Catch!"
The commercial aired in 79, I was 4 going on 5. The Steelers were Super-Heroes, the Black & Gold was easily identified like the Blue & Red of Spider-Man's costume. I remember images of Joe Greene, and Lambert: larger than life!
