Where each NFL team ranks in popularity - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN

Hard to believe the 49er's, Vikes & Lions are that high on the list. Maybe more surprising is the Ravens at 23rd (behind the Browns & Bills, for craps sake) ... I always thought their fanbase was pretty fervent.

Vikes always had a loyal fan base, even though they act like girls, they're still loyal to their team. 9nerds, well... they had a good season last year. That wagon is still full of jumpers, that's my guess. Ravens, yeah you'd think they be up there higher. I guess if they had a QB like Brees they'd get more love. Flacco blows.

Some mighty names listed below the Saints!

Seahawks and Chiefs are surprisingly high up, while I would've thought that the Chargers are more popular than the 20th, and obviously the Ravens are a surprise at 23rd.

Who gives a rats ass, Saints have always been number one in my book

They got this info from phoning people. I don't know about you but I didn't get a phone call. I am sure MANY others did not either.

Apparently not too many folks in Baltimore got a call ...

Atlanta......lol every body hates Atlanta

That's why it's a survey and not a census. ;-)

Exactly...whats the point? 1500 people don't mean squat. 32 teams..aprox 60 thousand fans a piece and they sample 1500..lmao yeah that's scientific

Depending on how the sample was chosen, 1500 could be enough for the sample to be representative of the target group. It's hard to say without any further knowledge of the setup of the survey...

With surveys the sample size isn't often as important as the way the sample is chosen and how the overall survey is constructed and conducted - even small sample groups can give a very representative results for a large target group.

There are quite complex mathematical equations that are used to determine whether or not a certain sample and/or result is representative and to what degree, and if those guidelines - that are agreed upon by the scientific community - were followed, I see no reason to doubt the result of this particular survey.

But, whether or not there's ultimately a point to this type of a survey in the first place is probably a matter of taste.

Who gives a ****?! Who Dat!?!!!

This confirms what I always have been saying, the Jaguars have no right to exist in Jacksonville. Say hello to the LA Jaguars.

It was my understanding there would be no math ...

I've lived in tons of different places across the country. It never fails any chick I start dating is a Cowboys "fan". I then know they are not real football fans and she's gonna be trying to get me to go hiking on Sundays. Never fails... And I can't hike with hand full of nachos and a guinness. Sorry.
