Hey all you football lovin' fans out there all across the United States and around the world. Yeah, you, the Pittsburgh Steelers fan living in Alaska, the soldier deployed in Italy, and all the displaced Rams, Cowboys, Bears and Jets fans scattered around the country. Yes, it's true that the NFL has one of the best fanbases of all sports and people take that love wherever they go, wherever they call home, and wherever there's a TV or a stadium! It's just a love everyone shares from the time they're a kid or maybe your spouse has been teaching you about 1st downs, "play action", interceptions and why it's called a "pick". 

And that love of the game doesn't just start with watching games, (soon-to-be-playing) Madden '12 on your Xbox 360, or making great appetizers in the shape of a football...no, the loyal fan loves the fall and thinks of it as the most wonderful time of the year! A time to chill and relax with family and friends, cookout, and spend Sunday afternoons watching their team fight it out on the gridiron.

Ok, so we all know that fans LOVE the game and they show that love in NFL Style!
