My Ten Personal Favorite Christmas Movies/TV Specials of All Time

With it being December and officially the Christmas season, I thought I'd go over my ten personal favorite Christmas movies or TV Specials.  There are a few things I have to preface this list with, which I'll outline in bullets for organizational purposes:

• These are not what I consider to be the ten best Christmas movies ever.  These are just ten movies (or Christmas specials) that I am very fond of and invoke nostalgia and childhood memories.  These are the ten movies I'd personally pick to watch every Christmas season if I could only choose ten.
• I am allowing sequels as separate entries as some sequels I like while others I don't.  
• These are ranked in order of how much I personally like them, not by how good of a movie I think they are.
• A few of these aren't your typical "theatrical release" style films, and more so TV specials or TV movies.  To me, they're close enough to be considered a movie or film.

With that said, here are my personal 10 favorite Christmas movies, ranked:

10. 'Twas the Night
This is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie), but it's still a movie about Christmas.  Basically, an Uncle who's always getting into trouble (portrayed brilliantly by Bryan Cranston) has to watch over his niece and nephews on Christmas night while his brother and sister-in-law (their parents) have to work.  They accidentally knock out Santa and decide to deliver toys for him.  I won't get into it anymore, but it's a good family Christmas movie with a good message.  You have to suspend disbelief during this film for some parts, and the technology in it has NOT aged well.  But if you can get past those few things, it's really quite enjoyable.

9. Elf
Everyone else loves it, and yes, I have a certain fondness for it as well.  It came out in 2003, and I didn't see it until several years after it came out.  It might've been close to a decade later.  It has rewatchability and it's one of the few roles I enjoy Will Ferrell in, so there's that.  Perhaps I'll have this higher on my list as the years go on, but for now it's only #9 because I haven't seen it quite enough.

8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966 TV special)
Don't get me wrong, I like the Jim Carrey version and the 2018 "The Grinch" film isn't bad, but this is the one that makes me feel all nostalgic.  That classic animation style is just timeless, and I absolutely love the "You're the Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song performed admirably by the legendary Thurl Ravenscroft.  This just never gets old.  

7. Frosty the Snowman
This is one I watched as a small child and have seen it sporadically throughout the years.  It always pulls at my heartstrings.  The Frosty the Snowman song alone is enough to make me emotional.  I also love the animation style and the voice acting is just classic.  I have this on DVD so I can watch it anytime I want during the Christmas season, even if I can't find it on TV/streaming.  

6. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
This is the one Christmas movie sequel that worked.  The Santa Clause 2 wasn't bad, but it still fell a bit short for me.  But this one ups the stakes, changes the setting, and recreates the magic of the first.  In some ways, I almost enjoy it more than the first one, but the first one is such a classic.  It's too bad all the rest of the "Home Alone's" were not even close to the first two.

5. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Another timeless classic is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  It's another TV special, but at 52 minutes it almost feels like a film.  My favorite thing about this is its songs.  From "Silver and Gold" to "We are Santa's Elves" to "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year", there's a song in here for everybody.  As a kid, I related to Rudolph, in being picked on for something you were born with and couldn't control (for me, it was my lack of height).  I will never stop loving this TV special.

4. Jingle All the Way
The crazy thing is, I almost want to rank this higher.  I've seen it at least a dozen times.  I love Arnie in it.  It's such a simple premise: A father trying to make something up to his son, goes on a hunt to find him a Christmas gift that's nearly impossible to find.  I love all the hijinks and to me, it's entertaining from start to finish.  Yes, a lot of it is a bit cringy and doesn't make logical sense, but you have to suspend belief when watching this.  

3. Home Alone
Of course, it had to be here if Home Alone 2 was here.  And the first just always slaps, as the kids say these days.  I kind of wanted the same thing to happen to me as a kid--be able to eat as much junk as I wanted, stay up as late as I wanted, watch whatever I wanted.  How Kevin learns about and later deals with the burglars is always my favorite part.  And it includes some great Christmas songs from "Walking Around the Christmas Tree" to "Run Run Rudolph".  

2. The Santa Clause
Similar to 'Twas the Night", Santa becomes incapacitated, and the family whose home where this happens has to take over his route.  This one, however, does it a bit better, with Tim Allen assuming the title of Santa Claus because of "The Santa Clause".  As a kid, this movie made me believe Santa Claus was spelled with an "E" at the end.  I've never been the biggest fan of the custody battle between Scott and his ex-wife for Charlie, but it does add another layer to the plot.  Nevertheless, I absolutely love this movie, and I have very fond memories of watching this on ABC with my family shortly after it came out.

1. A Christmas Story
It had to be, right?  And the weirdest thing is that I didn't see this until near adulthood.  I think I only watched it because I was told I resembled the kid (Ralphie) from the movie.  And boy, I'm glad I did.  It's the perfect Christmas movie.  Anyone who's ever wanted that super special Christmas gift can relate to Ralphie's quest for the Red Ryder BB gun.  I sure look forward to watching this each Christmas season.

Favorite Survivor Players from Each Season who Never Got a Second Chance (And probably never will)

Survivor over the years has done a great job at bringing its best characters and players back for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even 5th times.  But unfortunately, they cannot bring everyone back.  I'm going to pick my favorite player from each season who never got to play again.  Some declined, some wanted to but couldn't, and some we may never know about.  I'll give a quick word about them as well.  Obviously, full returnee seasons will not be considered since everyone on those seasons was already playing their 2nd time at least.

Borneo: Greg Buis
Greg was a hoot.  He makes Borneo fun.  It's a shame, they brought back the Tagi 4 plus Jenna and Gervase, but not Greg.  

Australian Outback: Nick Brown
I'll even admit, Nick is one of the most boring characters on this season.  But, he's also one of the sanest members of the Kucha tribe.  Plus, him being the first contestant from Washington state meant a lot to me back then and still does.  I bet he could've done more with a second chance.

Africa: Theresa "T-Bird" Cooper
It's a shame.  She's still a huge part of the Survivor community, and I believe she was on the Second Chance ballot but didn't make it.  

Marquesas: Vecepia Towery
There's not really anyone else, except maybe Sean Rector.  The unfortunate thing is I think "V" has never been brought back because Jeff referred to as one of their most boring winners.  I don't agree.

Thailand: Jake Billingsley
He's basically the only person from this cast that's somewhat likable.  Robb is endearing in his own way, but he's kind of a douche.  Jake's one shot would've been All Stars considering his age.  I wonder if he would've replaced Rudy if Rudy couldn't have made it?

Amazon: Heidi Strobel
I've vouched for Heidi for a while.  They bring Jenna back but not her?  She's still in great shape.  It's not too late.

Pearl Islands: Burton Roberts
Burton was an interesting character and I would've liked to see him come back.  He and Fairplay formed a formidable duo.

Vanuatu: Chris Daugherty
The second winner on this list.  I would've loved to see Chris back.  He was such a good B.S.'er.  But I think he never was asked because Probst had beef with him.

Palau: Ian Rosenberger
Ian may have played the most notable game of anyone to have not played a second time.  He's up there.  I know he was asked back but declined.  Shame.

Guatemala: Judd Sergeant
Shoutout to Brian Corridan for being a pre-merge boot I'd like to see back, but Judd hasn't been back, either, and he was one of the old-school era's most notable characters.

Panama: Shane Powers
Is there any question?  Shane was on the Second Chance Ballot but didn't make it.  He should've made it over Vytas, at least.  One of the most interesting characters in Survivor history only got one chance.  And he almost had one in Heroes vs. Villains before they bumped him for Russell.  

Cook Islands: Cao Boi Bui
I almost went with Nate, but Cao Boi has to be mentioned.  Yes, he's a pre-merge boot, but he made a notable impact.  Interesting character and he came up with the split vote method to flush idols.

Fiji: James "Rocky" Reid
I almost said Earl, but then I remembered Rocky.  He was an interesting character that was screwed over by an awful twist.  Had he been on a decent tribe, he might've made a bigger impact.

China: Todd Herzog
I did say the winner here though in Todd.  His battle with alcoholism is well-documented, but he has since recovered.  He played such a great game--would love to see how he'd play nowadays, but that'll probably never happen.

Micronesia: Natalie Bolton
Shoutout to Tracy Hughes-Wolfe, but Natalie outlasted her.  Also, Natalie's the only member from the Black Widow Brigade to not have played again since this season.  They almost had the entire BWB on Heroes vs. Villains, but she just missed the cut for that.

Gabon: Matty Whitmore
I liked Matty.  He survived the terrible Fang tribe and was mostly well-liked.  His reaction to Marcus's blindside is still iconic.  

Tocantins: Taj Johnson-George
Yes, she and her husband, Eddie, have money, but she was like a Cirie 2.0, so she should've been brought back.

Samoa: Jaison Robinson
Hard to say this season.  They even brought back Monica from this season.  But I'd say Jaison.  He was an interesting dude that kinda got screwed over.

Nicaragua: Marty Piombo
I'll never get over the fact that Marty never returned.  He was the only player from the older tribe that could really play.  

Redemption Island: Ralph Kiser
I like good ol' southern boys on Survivor.  Big Tom, James from Palau, and Ralph.  They make great TV.  Ralph could've shined on a returnee season, giving us more "Krasta"s and "Ressell"s.  RIP.

South Pacific: Jim Rice
It was either Jim, Christine, or Stacey.  I'll go with Jim, who most have forgotten about by now, but I haven't.  He was a decent player screwed over by Cochran.

One World: Greg "Tarzan" Smith
He delivered some great soundbites and was the last man standing.  "The game is afoot".  I also loved how moved he was to spend the loved one's visit with his wife and how he saved his auction money because his car needed new shocks.  Haha.

Philippines: Jeff Kent
I don't think we've had any minor celebrities return to play again (ones who were celebrities before playing).  But Jeff Kent would've been a good one to bring back to see if he could get the $1 million, or 600 grand by the time Obama takes it.

Caramoan: Reynold Toepfer
The Fans tribe this season was quite lackluster, but Reynold stood out to me.  I'd have loved to see him again, but it wasn't meant to be.  

Blood vs. Water: Hayden Moss
Still boggles my mind they brought Ciera back twice but not him.  Hayden was the one who convinced Ciera to go to rocks.  

Cagayan: Brice Johnston
So many from this season have returned, so I went with Brice, a pre-merge boot.  He's still a huge part of the Survivor community, hosting events with Wendell.  He deserves another shot.

San Juan Del Sur: Jon Misch
Not the greatest cast in the world, but I'd like to see Jon Misch back.  He was fooled by Natalie a couple times, but perhaps he's learned a bit.  

Worlds Apart: Carolyn "Mama C" Rivera
She didn't align herself with the most decent people, but she was a good player.  She executed an idol play and I know she wants to play again.

Kaoh Rong: Cydney Gillon
I almost chose Julia because of my crush on her, but I'll go with Cydney, who was a decent player and kind of almost won.  She's way into bodybuilding now so I don't think she'll ever play again.

Millennials vs. Gen X: Jay Starrett
He's been on The Challenge, so you know he's cool with keeping himself busy with shows.  But would Survivor bring him back?  Hard to say at this point.  

Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers: Chrissy Hofbeck
She's owed one by the show.  She's the only player who went into her season not knowing about the F4 firemaking twist.  She did surprisingly well in challenges, too.

Ghost Island: Dominick Abate
The only player to ever lose in a tiebreaking final vote still has not returned.  Shame.  

David vs. Goliath: Christian Hubicki
I'm not sure if he even wants to play again, but I know most fans would want to see him back.

Edge of Extinction: Rick Devens
No surprise here.  Such a personable and great for TV character.  He even co-hosted the On Fire podcast, which I think is a good sign for his future chances.

Island of the Idols: Janet Carbin
Another player screwed over was Janet (Idol Nullifier--dumb twist IMO).  She was very likable and handled the Dan incident well.  Perhaps the show wants nothing to do with this season ever again, though.

And now with the New Era seasons, I'm going to pick the player from each season I'd like to see return but I don't think ever will.  So these are not the players I most want to see back; just the ones I'd most like to see back that I'd bet won't come back.

41: Sydney Segal
Yet another player screwed over, this time by the Hourglass Twist.  She's easy on the eyes, but I don't think enough people remember her gameplay.  

42: Tori Meehan
She was surprisingly adept, just got dealt a bad hand.  Imagine her with stronger allies.  She was good in challenges, so I say bring her back.  But I don't think it'll happen.

43: Owen Knight
He may return, but I have a feeling casting might stay away from Final Tribal Council losers, at least the ones who got 1 or 0 votes.  He was good all-around, and he might have much more success given a different opportunity.

44: Matt Blankinship
As you can tell, I like to pick players who were screwed over.  Matt was screwed over by the split tribal, where all of his allies were on the other team.  Shame.  

45: Emily Flippen
I pick Emily because I think she said she wouldn't play again, but she definitely would be good TV again.  

46: Tevin Davis
He certainly made for good TV, but I feel he'll get overshadowed by Q, given their similar demographics.  I wouldn't be surprised if they passed over him.  

47: Rome Cooney
Rome was an interesting player and a good villain.  I wasn't a fan of how he "bulled" Sol, but nothing was personal--it was all part of the game.  But after he leaked the boot order, he's likely not getting asked back again.

Top 10 Personal Favorite/Underrated Survivor Winners

 Not long ago, YouTuber Peridiam did a Top 10 Survivor winners list, and I wanted to do the same.  Just like him, these are not who I consider the 10 greatest winners or winning games, but 10 personal favorites.  These are 10 winning games that I really enjoy watching, and I think that most of them are underrated.  This will include the new era and I'll do my best to explain why each person is on this list.  Keep in mind, there are winners like Kim, Yul, Earl, JT, and Boston Rob, who are generally considered some of the greatest winners of all time, so they are not here.  Here's my Top 10 Personal Favorite Winners:

10. Chris Daugherty, Vanuatu
I would love to play a game similar to Chris if I were to ever go on Survivor.  Although, would his game work in the modern era?  Hard to say.  I love Chris's game, and the fact that Jeff has hated on it so much makes me like it even more.  He was the last man standing at Final 7, and weaseled his way to to the title of Sole Survivor.  

9. Natalie White, Samoa
One potential strategy for a winning game is to latch onto a dominant strategic force that isn't playing a great social game.  This is the perfect example of that.  Natalie smartly did not play too aggressive at first, because otherwise, she'd be a pre-merge boot.  Then, she warmed up to the former Galu tribe members after the merge, earning their respect.  Unfortunately, her game is vastly overshadowed by Russell's massive edit, still the largest ever for one player in one season. 

8. Erika Casupanan, 41
Not a fan of this season, although I'll need to rewatch it someday.  Erika's game was a lot like Gabler's two seasons later, but she had a much better pre-merge and she didn't have to rely upon the threats turning on each other--she took care of it herself.  She also convinced Xander to take her to the end.  She kept her threat level low and struck when the time was right, and sat at the end against two guys that weren't as likable as her.  That's all it takes.

7. Mike Holloway, Worlds Apart
I love Mike's game.  He made one fatal flaw, but he did what he had to do to overcome it.  He was still a good social player, just made one huge social mistake, trying to go back on paying for the letter from home at the auction so he could get the advantage.  But from that point on, he did what he needed to survive.  That's the name of the game.  I don't fault a player for immunity streaks, because there's still no guarantee they get voted out if they lose immunity.  Crazy things can happen. 

6. Dee Valladares, 45
Yes, the most recent winner (as of the time of writing this) is on this list.  Dee played such a great game, and I think it's going to be viewed even more positively over time.  She insulated herself with two #1's, both of whom were aware she had a second #1, and neither of whom was willing to vote her out.  She controlled many votes, getting out who she wanted, such as Kendra and Kaleb.  Her winning move of telling Julie about her being the target is one of the most underrated moves, maybe ever.  Dee's a top 5 female winner of all time.  

5. Amber Brkich, All Stars
It sucks for Amber how people view All Stars as "Rob and Amber's season" rather than just her season.  Similar to Natalie White, she latched onto a strategic mastermind (although in a different way) and banked on playing a good enough social game to beat him at the end.  My one fault in her game is Rob basically saving her after the swap with his empty promise to Lex, but I also look at that as rotten luck in her getting swap-screwed, but playing a good enough social game to have someone vouch for her.  Amber was still looked a bit down upon for being Rob's right hand, but she managed to get less blood on her hands, which was enough.

4. Sophie Clarke, South Pacific
Yet another instance of a female latching on to a male who doesn't play the best social game--this time being Coach.  Sophie did what she needed to survive, whether it was appeasing Coach and the cult-like alliance, or that final clutch immunity win.  I need to rewatch this season to get the specifics, but Sophie is an incredibly intelligent player who employed the Natalie/Amber strategy and won, just like them.

3. Todd Herzog, China
Just like Peridiam, I have to give some respect to Todd.  A lot of Survivor fans do regard Todd's game highly, but I believe they don't regard it highly enough.  He expertly navigated the game, at times employing two meat shields in Jean-Robert and James.  He got two girls under his wing in Amanda and Courtney, neither of whom were willing to turn on him.  And then he ends up having one of the best final tribal council performances of all time.  He didn't win individual challenges or use idols, but Todd's social and strategic game makes his game one of the best ever.

2. Aras Baskauskas, Panama Exile Island
My guy, Aras!  I just love this season, and Aras plays a very underrated game.  His tribe easily could've lost numbers or collapsed post-merge, but Aras helped keep them together (along with Cirie and Danielle).  He went toe to toe with Terry and built a solid bond with Cirie that I think was the best thing he did in the game.  And with the fire-making at 4, he had no blood on his hands regarding Cirie's boot.  I just wish Aras had flashier moves, but if he had, others would regard him higher and he might not even be on this list for me.

1. Tina Wesson, Australian Outback
I remember when I first watched AO, I so wanted Colby to win.  But after watching it as a more intelligent adult, I realized how great Tina's game was.  So many moms and older women have tried to replicate her game and have failed.  She was someone who no one wanted to vote out, not even Colby at Final 3 when it was the obvious move.  It's unfortunate her pre-merge game was largely absent from the televised broadcast, but I still believe she played one of, if not the best social games of all time.  She got Colby to take her to the end and then at Final Tribal, not even fight hard to beat her.  You can tell by his reaction to Tina winning that he wanted her to win.  

My Top 5 Super Bowls

I love the game of football, so I obviously watch the Super Bowl every year.  On some occasions due to working a retail job, I've had to miss the start of a game, but I have seen the majority of every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXII, when the Denver Broncos beat the Green Bay Packers.  With Super Bowl LIV just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to list my Top 5 Favorite Super Bowls ever.  These are the most memorable Super Bowls to me, and the ones I had the most fun watching.

Honorable Mention: Super Bowl XLIX - Patriots vs. Seahawks
I have to include this as an honorable mention, because I really enjoyed the first 98% of this game.  I just didn't like the ending.  But knowing we were about to (probably) get our second straight Super Bowl win, and to beat one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history was a sweet feeling--at the time.

5. Super Bowl XLVII: Ravens vs. 49ers
A blackout, the longest play in Super Bowl history, and an almost epic-comeback.  What more could you ask for?  Oh, how about watching your least favorite NFL team lose on the biggest stage possible?  To see the 49ers comeback effort fall short was just music to my ears.  They had been our division rivals for a decade now, so I had built up enough animosity towards them.

4. Super Bowl XXXVII - Buccaneers vs. Raiders
A team I really enjoyed watching in the early 2000's was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  They had one of the greatest defenses of all time with Warren Sapp, John Lynch, Derrick Brooks, Simeon Rice, and Ronde Barber.  And it was Dexter Jackson who won Super Bowl MVP, go figure.  It wasn't a close contest, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  I remember I had a small wager with my grandpa on the game--he thought the Raiders would win.  It wasn't for much (a dollar) but it was more for the pride in knowing I picked the better team.

3. Super Bowl LI - Patriots vs. Falcons
Now, I dislike the Patriots, but I love a good comeback.  I also was thinking in the couple years before this game, that we were very due for a Super Bowl that goes to overtime.  And this was the first Super Bowl in history to go to overtime.  And of course, one of the greatest comebacks in sports history happened in this game, so I had to include it.

2. Super Bowl LII - Patriots vs. Eagles
This Super Bowl set all kinds of records for offensive production including most total yards between the two teams.  The Philly Special play is one of the best Super Bowl plays of all time, seeing as it came on 4th and goal.  And to top it off, Brady got strip sacked, proving he was mortal.  The Eagles had gotten revenge for Super Bowl XXXIX.

1. Super Bowl XLVIII - Seahawks vs. Broncos
Was there any question?  The Seahawks got the quickest score in Super Bowl history (although it wasn't anything they did).  This game is quintessential Legion of Boom at their peak.  But it was Malcolm Smith of all people, who had the key defensive play on a pick six.  It was forced by Cliff Avril hitting Manning as he threw, so Smith was just in the right place at the right time.  The Hawks started the 2nd half with a kickoff return touchdown from Percy Harvin and never looked back.  The Hawks first (and so far only) Super Bowl win may forever be my favorite Super Bowl ever.

Super Bowl LIV is just 9 days away, and I think there's a decent chance it could make this list.  The Chiefs enter as 1.5 point favorites, a very close line for a Super Bowl, and it's hard to get closer than that.  As a Seahawks fan, I will of course be rooting for the Chiefs, but also because I would fully support the Kansas City Chiefs as the new AFC dynasty.

Super Bowl LIV was definitely enjoyable and close (until the end).  If it were to make the list, it would be at #5, and it would really only supplant Super Bowl XLVII because it was more recent.  

NFL Teams from My Favorite to Least Favorite

Here are all 32 teams, and I am going to go through each of them describing why I like or why I don’t like them. I rank them from my favorite to my least favorite.
Updated to include recent events.  Updates in RED.

ULTIMATE FAVORITE TEAM EVER

1. Seattle Seahawks

Without a doubt, my all time favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks. Since I’ve grown up and lived in Seattle my whole life, it’s hard not to root for anyone else. Sure, right now, they’re not doing so well, but no matter what they will always be my favorite team. Always. Go Seahawks!

SECONDARY FAVORITES

2. Denver Broncos

For some reason or another, I started liking the Broncos around 1998, 1999. Maybe it was because they beat Brett Favre. Maybe it was because of John Elway. I don’t know. They have just since then been my second favorite team. They might not be 2^nd best forever for me, but they’ll always be near the top.

3. Minnesota Vikings

I like high scoring teams. The Vikings have over the past decade or so been one of the higher scoring teams in the league year in and year out. Maybe it’s the Metrodome. But they’ve also had great players like Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, Daunte Culpepper, among others. They’re my 2^nd favorite NFC team and I know what Viking fans have gone through. They deserve a title.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars

I don’t really know what it is about Jacksonville. I started liking them because of Mark Brunell. But now that he’s gone, all I like really is their jerseys. It’s hard to really say anything else. But, if they win it all, I’ll be very happy for them.

TEAMS I WILL MOST OFTEN ROOT FOR

5. New England Patriots

You either hate the Patriots or you love them. I happen to be more towards the latter. They just know how to play football. Sure, there was Spygate, but so what? That just shows how badly they wanted a Super Bowl ring. I wish the Seahawks would do something like that. So long as it brought us a championship.

6. Baltimore Ravens

I know I said I like high-scoring teams, but I also like teams with mean defenses. Except the Steelers. More on them later. Or maybe it’s that I like the color purple, at least in NFL uniforms. All I know is I like how the Ravens play.

7. Houston Texans

I was excited to see an expansion NFL franchise in 2002, and for some reason I have rooted for them since then. I think it’s because they’re always viewed as an underdog. And they have very cool looking uniforms.

I KINDA LIKE THEM

8. Kansas City Chiefs

My peak for them was in 2003 when they started out 9-0 and had one of the best offenses led by Trent Green, Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzalez, and Dante Hall in the return game. But ever since then they’ve kinda sucked. But they have loyal and noisy fans. And Arrowhead is one of the best places to catch a football game.

9. Dallas Cowboys

I definitely don’t hate the Cowboys. I like Tony Romo. I like their great pass rushers like DeMarcus Ware. For some reason, they are my favorite team from the NFC East.

10. Indianapolis Colts

The reason I have them here is two words: Peyton Manning. One of the classiest and most studious players in the game’s history. However if it wasn’t for Manning the Colts would be just another team.

11. New Orleans Saints

Before Hurricane Katrina, they’d be around 25, 26. But since then, I’ve liked them more and more. I like Drew Brees and Reggie Bush. They are almost becoming America’s second team.

THEY’RE OK

12. Arizona Cardinals

I know, I should hate these guys, being a Seahawks fan, but I don’t. I like Larry Fitzgerald, Matt Leinart, and their recent uniform change. And I love their stadium. Sure they’ve beaten my Seahawks up in the last few years, but that’s only because the Seahawks have sucked. All they did was take advantage of a weak division.

13. Green Bay Packers

I have actually never really cared too much for this team. If they lose, I’m ok with it, and if they win, it’s also ok. I do like Aaron Rodgers. They’re uniforms will never look old. And Lambeau Field is still the best NFL stadium ever.

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

My peak for them was in 2002 when they won the Super Bowl. I was rooting for them all season long. I loved their defense with Ronde Barber, John Lynch, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, etc. But those guys are all gone (except for Barber) and they’re one of the worst teams in the league. Someday though they will again be great.

15. Buffalo Bills

There’s not much to say about this team. They are all right. I like how they play in Buffalo, which hosts only one other sports franchise. I like their uniforms.

16. Philadelphia Eagles

Whenever I see an Eagles game, I get kind of bored. Because to me, the Eagles are kind of boring. I see no real exciting players, no great stadium, no great fans. But they’ve yet to really do anything to make me dislike them. In fact, they let the Seahawks tromp over them 42-0 in their Super Bowl year.

17. Cleveland Browns

The only reason I like this team is because of their diehard, loyal fans, and their uniforms. Yes, their uniforms. They may be the color of poo, but they match the team name and I think look pretty good. But they have never really been a good team since they came back into the league in 1999.

NOT TOO MUCH INTEREST…

18. Detroit Lions

Almost same reason as above. I love the color scheme of their uniforms: silver with blue. But they’ve sucked much like the Browns.

19. New York Giants

Eli Manning is annoying to me. I don’t know why. And their uniform change recently made them look worse. They look like Giant Smurfs out there. And they just aren’t too fun to watch for me.

20. Atlanta Falcons

They were higher when they had Michael Vick, but now it’s like…. Ok. I do like Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. They’ve got a good team, but I can’t find it in me to root for them.

21. Miami Dolphins

I’ve never really liked the Dolphins or cared for them too much. They’ve won it all, and in fact have the only perfect season. So…. It’s hard for me to root for them.

22. Carolina Panthers

I definitely like their color scheme with teal against black. But the Panthers have always been a very annoying team to me. They’re always good when I want them to lose, and they’re always bad when I want them to win.

23. Chicago Bears

Ugly colored uniforms for me. I don’t know why they’ve never been changed. And not really any players in their history that I liked except maybe Payton and Sayers.

I DON’T HATE THEM, BUT LIKE TO SEE THEM LOSE

24. San Diego Chargers

I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it’s because they’re a division rival of my 2^nd favorite team. Perhaps it’s the fact they released LT without a 2^nd thought. They just don’t seem too classy or too likeable to me. It’s funny to watch them lose for some reason.

25. Washington Redskins

They overpay (Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle-El, Albert Haynesworth) much like the Yankees, but never win anything. Plus their maroon and yellow jerseys are hideous. And they’re boring.

26. New York Jets

Their fans at the NFL draft are annoying. Their color scheme is very boring. They’ve never had an exciting team. And for some reason, I like to see them lose.

27. Cincinnati Bengals

A combination of players who’ve gotten in trouble, poor defenses, and poor fans have led to this low rating. Their uniforms are nice, but that’s not enough. I do like Carson Palmer though.

28. Tennessee Titans

For some reason or another, they always have been the team I have no reason to hate but do. Sure, they have Chris Johnson, but what else? I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s just that I like the teams in their division so much more.

I WISH THESE TEAMS WOULD GO 0-16 EACH YEAR

29. St. Louis Rams

When the Seahawks first came to the NFC West, these guys beat up on us almost every single time. They showed no mercy. And now they’re the losers, fortunately. Sam Bradford is overrated. And their dome sucks.

30. Oakland Raiders

Least classiest team in the league. That includes, fans, players, and owner. Also, if by some odd happening, they happen to be on TV, I can’t stand to watch them. Unless they’re losing so horribly it’s humorous.
31. San Francisco 49ers

Yes, my girlfriend is a big fan of theirs, but with the Seahawks-49ers rivalry stronger than ever, and with their QB being Colin Crapernick (a horrible role model for kids), I just hate them.  My girlfriend being a fan of them saves them from being my most hated team, however.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers

This really doesn’t need any explanations. I’m not just mad at them because they cost my favorite team their first ever title. I’m mad also because of the way they did it. They had the refs on their side and did not win fairly. Plus, they practically had everyone in the nation on their side and they had home-field advantage. And Ben Roethlisberger is a JERK!
