As the new NFL season approaches, we start to think: can the team you and I root for get to the Superbowl? Can they actually win the big game? I’m sure everyone except for Kansas City have grown tiresome of the Chiefs. The Chiefs will probably win their third in a row. Since the season has not started yet as every team gets ready playing preseason games, I thought of a list of teams I’d like to see win the next Superbowl. I start from the teams I don’t want to even want to have sniff the Superbowl & then work down to the number one spot of the team I want to win it all. Some of the teams I want to win it all have no chance. I have franchises I like that have never won a Superbowl, to get their first. Some franchises that have never won a Superbowl I want to keep it that way as well. I start with the Patriots who I hope will be the doormat of the league for the next decade. Check out your team. Hope you enjoy.

#32. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

The Patriots dynasty with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick was nauseating. The Patriots dynasty finally crumbled like Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. The franchise should be stripped of all its weapons of mass destruction and go back to their old helmets and losing ways. The Patriots should suffer at least a decade of bad football before they even come back into the playoff picture.

#31. CLEVELAND BROWNS

I would love to see the Cleveland Browns win a Superbowl. Not with the Dawg they have at quarterback. What’s wrong with the picture is a guy pretty much getting away with 22 women saying that he sexual-harassed them while getting a massage. They say crime does not pay, but he gets a contract for 230 million guaranteed. If you listen to him in his interviews, the dude does not get it. He shows no remorse, thinks reporters are making this stuff up, and are a inconvenience to him wanting to just play football. If the Browns had anybody else behind center, they would be higher on my list.

#30. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Enough is enough of Taylor Swift sightings at Chiefs games. The Chiefs are the new Patriots. I’m sick of watching the rerun of the same episode of the Kansas City Chiefs winning it all. Travis Kelce sounds like a meat head when this team prevails. Patrick Mahomes is a cry baby and I’m waiting for the day some defensive player just knocks him off his perch with a big hit.

Like Wilbur Marshall’s hit on Troy Aikman several years ago. Not wishing for the guy to get hurt. He needs his bubble to be popped and brought back down to Earth. Enough with the State Farm commercials we have to stomach every week of the NFL football season.

#29. DALLAS COWBOYS

I must have missed out on the vote that makes the Dallas Cowboys America’s team. With this label, the networks suffocate us with Cowboys games every week no matter where you live in the country. Why do I have to watch the overrated Cowboys like they are the team living in my city I call home. Then the owner Jerry Jones is a big reason why they will always be a team I will not root for in the Superbowl. Besides the Cowboys have already won multiple titles no reason to rehash those 1990 teams and that dynasty which would make a billy goat up-chuck.

#28. NEW YORK JETS

I know the New York Jets have not won a Superbowl since Broadway Joe gave his guarantee in 1969. Joe Namath backed up his words in Superbowl III. Now the Jets have something from the Tales of the Darkside with Aaron Rodgers behind center. Jets are like the Browns in this article. If they had a different quarterback, then I could have Gang Green higher up on this list. Aaron Rodgers went from an almost normal dude to gothic the last few seasons. His darkness retreats. His gothic girlfriend. His imaginary Covid shot. How he bitches about money he’s worth and holding up his team to make a decision if he is coming back for the season. How he ranted and raved about how he owns the Bears is my biggest reason I dislike this guy as I’m not going to hide that. Rodgers winning another Superbowl with this Jets team will give this SOB a bigger ego than any quarterback that has played the game. How his serenity now bullshit helped him accomplish his goals.

#27. GREEN BAY PACKERS

A typical Green Bay Packer fan most likely smells like beef and cheese. You can probably add bad batch of venison, brats, and cheap booze to those wearing a hat of cheese wearing an orange hunting vest. Since 1992 the Packers have a record against my beloved Bears 50-15 which includes the 2010 NFC Championship game. First it was Brett Farve who carved the Bears up like a jive turkey on disco night at the Brat Stop. Then you had the douche bag Aaron Rodgers own us like we were his city housing landlord’s feeding on cockroaches & drinking raid shots. Then he leaves and Jordan Love has not shown us the Love of losing yet. Packers and title town are far away from number one in my book on this list.

#26. CINCINNATI BENGALS

Back in the 1980’s I like the Bengals with Boomer Esiason and the Icky shuffle with Icky Woods. For many seasons the Bengals were like the penitentiary team with guys they employed like Pac Man Jones and Vontaze Burfict. Then the recent years with all the trash talkers like Eli Apple and Joe Mixon. The Bengals traded Mixon in the off-season to the Houston Texans. They drafted him and knew how he was a good citizen beating the shit out of his girlfriend back in college. They still selected him. The Great Joe Cool Burrow who wants the NFL to let the game have taunting be a part of the festivities. Probably because the Bengals lead the league in trash talking. Let’s get rid of sportsmanship, watch a defender drop Burrow to the ground, and wag his finger at him while he lays mangled on the turf.

#25. MIAMI DOLPHINS

The Dolphins hatred goes back to the late 80’s and 90’s with the rival with the Bills. When you flip off the Bills Mafia, which Bryan Cox did, you never forget. The present day Dolphins with the Cheetah Tyreek Hill and their aerial attack is quite annoying. Hill you hate this guy if he’s playing against your team. You may warm up to the Cheetah if you selected him on your fantasy team. The Dolphins can score a ton of points against weaker teams. In games with playoff teams, they don’t fare well. The Dolphins are overrated. They think they are better than they are. I love when they traveled to colder places because they’d look like frozen Pudding Pops with freezer burn. The Dolphins are arch-rivals to the Bills so they need to be placed in the back of the bus. Only thing I like about the Dolphins was the Ace Ventura Pet Detective movie.

#24. LA CHARGERS

I used to root for the Chargers when they were in San Diego. They had great quarterbacks like Phillip Rivers and years before Rivers, Dan Fouts. Two stud quarterbacks that suffered the Karl Malone disease never winning a title. Only Superbowl the Chargers were in was when Stan the Man Humphries was behind center back in 1995 when they lost to the 49ers. The hatred against the Chargers presently is because of their owner, Dean Spanos. The Spanos moved the Chargers from San Diego to LA to be the second fiddle to the Rams. Now the Chargers have Jim Harbaugh as head coach and another stud QB, Justin Herbert, in place. Harbaugh is an awesome hire and Herbert is a guy you can get behind. You can’t forgive the greedy owner who moved his team from the best climate in the United States to smog town in over-crowded LA where they already have a team. Just baffling as you see more fans of the visitors at Chargers games at home.

#23. LA RAMS

The Rams got their cake and had their ice cream moving from St. Louis back to LA and to play in a brand spanking new stadium. Then winning a Superbowl. It’s like leaving the girl you were friends with your whole life for something fake and shiny in LA. Ripping the hearts out of all the die hard football fans of St.Louis. If you don’t believe me watch the United Football League where they pack the stadium rooting for the Spring team called the BattleHawks. Why didn’t the Rams ownership just stay in LA in the first place? I’m not jacked up seeing the Rams win another Superbowl any time soon.

#22. NEW YORK GIANTS

I’m not over the Buffalo Bills first WIDE RIGHT kick heard around the world during the Superbowl with the Giants. Then Bill Belichick was the defensive coordinator for that team and gets credit for his D slowing down the Bills’ high power offense in that game. The Giants always seem to find luck winning Superbowls when they probably were not the better team. I liked the Eli Manning teams beating the Tom Brady teams. Especially ruining the Patriots perfect record – one thing Brady did not achieve. The Giants are from New York City which gives me a big reason not wanting to see them win anything. My guess is that Giants fans are Yankee fans and who wants them to feel good about their sports world. I don’t.

#21.BALTIMORE RAVENS

The Ravens’ past comes into play not wanting Baltimore to win a Superbowl. Since the Browns moved to Baltimore, became their own franchise, and left their old name in Cleveland, they have won two Superbowls. How many franchises are still looking for their first taste? How many franchises who’ve been around for decades and may have only one title to their names. The Ravens’ linebacker bat shit crazy Ray Lewis was a nut job. Did he murder people that year in Atlanta at a bar? We know he tried to cover things up. Lamar Jackson is one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Something about him and his game – he will not win it all. Disappointment versus the Chiefs last year in the AFC Championship. The Ravens get points off their score with me there.

#20. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

When the 49ers were a dynasty with Joe Montana and Steve Young, they racked up multiple Superbowls. I was not a fan of those on-going dynasties in the 1980’s which lingered into the 90’s. I always loved the 49ers full back Tom Rathman who even had a full back last name. That is only one player. The 49ers these days when you do root for them they lose like last year against the Chiefs. I guess you could say it’s fun time Bobby watching San Francisco lose Superbowls rather than win them. Then I LOATHE the patriot saint of kneeling in Colin Kaepernick who has made more money off the field then actually on it. The 49ers have too many Superbowl trophies. To see them win another one is like rooting for Patrick Mahomes to win his third one in a row.

#19.WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Washington first scalped their old name, the Redskins. Then they went with the Washington Football Team that sounds better than the Commanders. It took how many years to finally come up with the Commanders as the new name. Washington has a new ownership. Dan Snyder is out who may go down as one of the worst owners of all sports. Rumor has it they may bring back their old nickname, the Redskins. I doubt it. This franchise is like a dog being neutered when they snipped away the Redskins name from them. They are not the Hogs of the past with those Joe Gibbs teams. I’m in no hurry to see the Commanders rise back up and win a Superbowl at any time soon.

#18. DENVER BRONCOS

The Broncos back in the day would get to the Superbowl and get their butts kicked in. They were like the Vikings or Bills. They seemed like they could not win the big game. They had the franchise quarterback in John Elway, aka horse teeth. Elway was the quarterback of those losing Superbowls. He finally slayed his dragon and the Broncos won back to back titles in 1997 and 1998. The Broncos would win another one in 2015. That’s three titles for the Colorado mountain high. I have liked them now over the last several years trying to find a quarterback. They humiliated themselves for going big on Russell Wilson. They need a few more years away from the Superbowl.

#17. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

The Philly special unleashed on Bill Belichick’s Patriot defense in the Superbowl was priceless. Nick the Dick Foles filled in for Carson Wentz late in that season due to an injury and got red hot and marched his team all the way through the playoffs, giving Tom Brady a Superbowl loss. What have you done for me lately? It is always a question in sports. The Eagles got back to the Superbowl and blew a lead to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. The punishment is the Eagles still on a time out.

#16. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

If Pete Carol was still the head coach of the Seahawks, they would not be in the middle of the pack. Carol is like that slick car salesperson that you see on the sidelines for many college basketball teams. Don’t get me wrong he was a great coach but a guy that left USC like the women and children when the Titanic was sinking. The Seahawks should have two Superbowl titles. Not running Mashawn Lynch on that final play at the goal line versus the Patriots was the biggest bone-headed coaching move of all-time. His Legion of Doom defense was filled with a bunch of classless guys like Richard Sherman. I guess that’s what you want on a defense called the Legion of Boom. Seattle is a place that is on my bucket list of visiting as the state of Washington seems gorgeous. Heard great things. Now they have new blood on the sidelines so they may be a team I can get behind in present day.

#15.JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

The Jaguars have now been in the league awhile but still seem like an expansion team. The Jaguars seem to always be playing multiple home games in London, England. Just move there already. Then you have the Surf Nazi Ninja must die at quarterback. Trevor Lawrence reminds me of the character Sean Penn played in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the great Spicoli. The Jaguars have never won or even been to the big game but why would we want a Florida team winning it all especially a team with a bad logo a smurf tongue on a cat.

#14. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

I miss the old creamsicle uniforms the Tampa Bay Buccaneers used to wear in the late 70’s and 1980’s. The Buccaneers in those days used to know what to do. Lose football games. They once had a record of like 50 straight games they lost when the weather was under like 40 degrees. The Buccaneers have two Superbowl trophies. First one they made a trade to get head coach Jon Gruden. Then Gruden would take over and guide the Buccaneers to their first Superbowl versus his old team the Raiders. The Buccaneers even squeezed another Superbowl out of Tom Brady. I like the pirate ship at their stadium. We can wait awhile before we see this franchise get back to the Superbowl.

#13. HOUSTON TEXANS

This current Texans team is on the rise. Rookie CJ Stroud looks like the real deal behind center. The Texans added even more fire power to their team this off-season. I know the Texans have never won a Superbowl, but they feel to me like the Jaguars – that expansion team feeling. I grew sick of the Astros in Houston even to this present day. Now they added questionable personalities in Joe Mixon at running back and Stefon Diggs. Great players, but these two characters could ruin a young quarterback going into his second season. With these two additions, the Texans are a team you don’t really want to root for. Let’s not forget where Deshaun Watson was drafted from. All those girls that Watson sexual harassed were in Houston, under the Texans watch.

#12. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

When it comes to the Colts, they have won two Superbowls – one in Indianapolis in 2006 with Peyton Manning. Then in 1970 as they were the Baltimore Colts back then. I like the town of Indianapolis. They have a great fan base. The Colts owner Jim Irsay is my problem. Owners should not be in the news more often than your own team. Irsay reminds me of Donald Trump on social media or will say that bone headed thing whenever a microphone is in front of him. The Colts have the luck to get Peyton Manning & then replaced him with Andrew Luck. Maybe the luck has run out as Anthony Richardson sat most of the season with an injury rather than playing a full season his rookie year. Guys like Irsay and Jerry Jones you don’t want to see holding a Superbowl trophy at the end of the season. The Colts beat my Bears in the 2006 Superbowl which I may have gotten over, but it still stings.

#11. PITTSBURGH STEELERS

I love the town of Pittsburgh. They are a great fan base for their sports teams. The Steelers elect a head coach and he holds on to the job like the Pope does at the Vatican. The Steelers have great history and those awesome defenses over years. The Steel Curtain is one of the best nicknames for an NFL defense. The Steelers have collected a six pack of Superbowl trophies. They always find the playoffs. They always know when to remove or not pick up the contract of the crazies like Antonio Brown who are talented but not playing with full deck in their mindsets. Do you really want to see the Steelers win another Superbowl? It depends on who they play. I’d like to see ten other teams win one before they win their 7th.

#10. TENNESSEE TITANS

Another heartbreak moment in Bills history was the Music City Miracle done by the Titans that knocked the Buffalo out the playoffs in 2000. We could argue about that play on our bar stools for an hour as the Titans pulled off a questionable play in the last seconds. The Titans used to be the Houston Oilers as they had one of the best uniforms in the game. The Titans have been to one Superbowl as they lost to the St. Louis Rams, XXXIV, as they came up short on the last play. Something about Honky Tonk town with moonshine girls wearing boots eating great food while listening to legendary tunes makes my boat float. I get behind a Nashville parade and Titan Superbowl.

#9. CAROLINA PANTHERS

If Cam Newton was not so soft, the Panthers could have pulled off a victory over the Broncos in the Superbowl. Peyton Manning was not Peyton Manning like in that Superbowl. The Panthers lost two Superbowls, the first one Jake Delhomme was behind center. Delhomme had some great years in Carolina. Newton was just a fantasy quarterback and a guy overrated in my book. The Panthers have put together some great teams since coming into the league in the 1990’s. Not sure if the number one draft pick, Bryce Young, is the answer for this team. He has only played one season. The Panthers have made bad football decisions like the trade with the Bears sending DJ Moore to Chicago and swapping number one draft picks and losing draft picks. The Panthers still feel like an expansion team. When it comes to the state of North Carolina, they only have won one championship from the Hurricanes winning the cup. They do have North Carolina University which is a basketball power house. I like to see other teams win their first Superbowl before the Panthers. Especially teams that have been around longer.

#8.ATLANTA FALCONS

The Falcons fly in Hot Atlanta where they filmed the Walking Dead. The Falcons pissed everyone off when the blew that big lead to the Patriots in their Superbowl appearance. Giving Tom Brady another Superbowl ring with the stooge Bill Belichick feels like a kick in the teeth as they had that game. The Falcons are 0-2 in the Superbowl. I find the Falcons you like them, but some years you hate this franchise. Guys like Mike Vick and Neon Deon Sanders were guys I’m not going to root for. I loved head coach Jerry Glanville. His trademark black cowboy hat was a staple on the Falcons side line. You feel bad for guys like Matt Ryan, Chris Chandler, and Chris Miller not winning a Superbowl. Isn’t Kirk Cousins the same guy like Miller, Ryan, and Chandler? We may have to wait until Michael Penix Jr. gets a crack at the starting job behind center for the Falcons to get back to the big game.

#7. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Two of the funniest movies of all-time are set in Minnesota. The two Grumpy Old Men movies were hilarious. The Vikings had the best name for their defense back in the 1970’s. The Purple People Eaters. The Vikings were like the Bills of the 1990’s. They made four Superbowls in the 1970’s and lost them all. It was not like the Bills who lost 4 straight years in a row. Vikings appeared in 1970, 1974,1975, and 1977. The Vikings rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy will miss the entire season due to a knee injury. The number ten pick won the National Championship behind center for the University of Michigan. Could McCarthy when he gets back on the field in 2025 lead the Vikings to a Superbowl win some day? It would be a cool story plus making history getting the Vikings their first ever.

#6. ARIZONA CARDINALS

At one point the Cardinals originated in Chicago. They played their home games at the old Comisky Park that was home to the Chicago White Sox. The Bears played at Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs. I could of easily been a Cardinals fan growing up on the south side if they stayed in the Windy City. The Cardinals moved to St. Louis & then to Arizona. I could easily put them on the list with the Rams, Ravens, and Chargers. The moves by the Cardinals franchise from Chicago to St.Louis were before my time. I’ve met one die hard fan in Chicago who still roots for the Cardinals today even when they left town. The Cardinals I always loved the Pat Tillman story. Him giving up football and serving the country as an Army Ranger due to 9/11. I rooted for Kurt Warner the only season this Cardinals franchise made it to the Superbowl versus the Steelers which was one of the best Superbowl games of all-time. If the Cardinals won their first any time soon, I could get behind that. Their current team has lots to do to make it happen.

#5.DETROIT LIONS

The Lions have never even made it to a Superbowl. It was great seeing the Lions get back to the post-season last year and win a playoff game. The last time the Detroit Lions were relevant was back in the 1950’s. It was 1957 when they won a Championship. They actually won three titles in the 50’s. Some of the greatest Lions of all-time like Barry Sanders, Chris Spielman, and Calvin Johnson aka Megatron played on many bad teams and never experienced a title. The Lions have a team that is not going away any time soon. If they continue to get better the Lions’ Superbowl appearance may be in the cards.

#4. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Not sure Nicolas Cage playing the part of John Madden in the upcoming movie is a good idea. Cage ruined Ghost Rider for me with his bad acting. The Raiders make me look like a hypocrite as they have moved back and forth for years from LA to Oakland & then finally to Vegas. My grammar school team was the Raiders so I’ve always been fond of them. Something about the black and silver and that Raider logo makes me a fan. I feel bad for the city of Oakland and that fan base with the Black Hole was epic. They way the fans dressed like it was Halloween every Sunday gave the stadium that intimidating factor to the visiting team. Makes sense though that the Raiders would be Sin City’s team. The Raiders have won three total titles. I love how this Raiders team beat on the Chiefs on Christmas Day. Seeing Mad Maxx Crosby close out a Superbowl sacking a quarterback would be electric.

#3. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

I’ve been to the Big Easy once in my life and that’s a great town. I always loved Drew Brees and in my opinion he’s one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL all-time. The Saints’ only Superbowl was not an easy task against a very tough Peyton Manning-led Colts team. Brees versus Manning is like a Clash of the Titans movie. The defense was involved in Bounty Gate as that came out later as they beat up on Brett Farve in the NFC Championship game before they met the Colts in the Superbowl. The gold & black uniforms and the spicy voodoo town of New Orleans which brings you Mardi Gras every year gets my vote for the Saints to win another Superbowl soon. Not sure Derek Carr is the guy to get the job done.

#2. CHICAGO BEARS

Steve McMichael getting in the Hall of Fame this season gives the Bears 4 guys from that 1985 bad ass defense which is the most of all-time on any Superbowl team. That Bears defense was the best of all-time. All those players on that ’85 Bears team are still the toast of the town. All those personalities meshed and clicked for one of the greatest teams in the NFL. The Bears are 1-1 in Superbowls. They have not had an actual quarterback since the 1940’s when Sid Luckman was behind center. Can Caleb Williams be the guy? He sure looks like an actual quarterback. The Bears team is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. It’s about time after watching bums like Jay Cutler rewrite the franchise quarterback records. I’m a fan of the Bears so that makes it even better for them to win a title because it has been a very long time.

#1. BUFFALO BILLS

The city of Buffalo seems to be jinxed. The Bills and the Sabres have not won anything for decades. When the Bills were in the AFL before the merger with the NFL, Buffalo won back to back titles in 1964 and ’65 led by quarterback Jack Kemp. The Bills have been through heartache after heart break. Four Superbowl losses in a row when they had a stud quarterback in Jim Kelly during the 1990’s. The Bills suffered through two wide rights which includes the missed kick last year versus the Chiefs by Tyler Bass in the divisional round. The Music City Miracle still hurts in 2000. The Bills have maybe the best quarterback in franchise history in Josh Allen but he can’t beat the dreaded Chiefs in the post-season. The Bills fan base is one of the best in the NFL. Known as the Bills Mafia who like to drink and break tables at epic tailgating parties before and after the game. They are hungry and a diehard group that bleed Buffalo’s colors. They have been through decades of hard times. They keep getting up from the mat to root on their beloved Bills because they know one day they will win their first ever and it will be something special. You have to love a city that gets bad winter weather every year and elect to go with a brand new outdoor stadium instead of a dome like most cities are doing. The Bills get the first vote from myself to be the next winner of the big game.
