I've always loved rooting against the Cowboys. They really leaned into the flashy showoff model and it's very satisfying to see those kinds of teams fail.
My real answer is the Eagles, for welcoming Vick back into the league. Plus, I can channel my inner Lebowski: "I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man."
My grandfather used to call Dallas' old stadium "Gods Spittoon" because of the hole in the top of Texas Stadium. My hatred for the Cowboys has persisted.
Also, the Eagles 4th and 26 still haunts me to this day. If you know you know.

I remember that. It's been a while. Favre was one of my favorite non-Raider players as a kid.

Must have been a confusing night when Favre threw 4 TDs on Monday night vs the Raiders after his dad died.
I was rooting for Gannon and co back in 02 vs TB.

Almost everything Favre and the Raiders did confused me. That's a big part of why I loved them. It's also why I loved Barry Sanders. The fun of sports is not knowing what's going to happen, and no one embodied that more than them.

Awesome. I am not fond of either of those teams but I would say I hate the Cowgirls more than the Beagles.
