my enemy...
the enemy of every human who has ever lived...
this is the life-force that watches over the Dinosaurs.
Hello! My name is MonsterWalk and I'm a fan of a bad team.

As a fan of a bad team I can tell you that football season is a lovely mix of cowardly hope and accelerating despair. This year, I'd like to do something about it and I'd also like to help you!

I know you. You don't have a team or wish you didn't. Maybe your QB is broken or maybe your o-line couldn't stop Eric LeGrand or maybe you're just a Cheifs fan, whatever. I know the pain you're feeling. You still want to root for your team but you also want to invest in good football. It's ok. It's natural.

Who can help? What can we do?

We can find you a Foster Team. With a little help from your friends: TFFF. (The Football Funhouse Fosters)

A Foster Team. would be your secondary NFL team. An NFL Mistress, if you will. Consider this the NFL version of "Ashley Medison" without all the Duggaring. You'll still begrudgingly love and passionlessly root for your main team but you'll have a new, hot Foster Team.

Here's how it works:

1.) Post your vitals in the thread like so:

Team:
Why I'm Sad: (Give a brief synopsis of why your team makes you sad.)

Likes: (List three things you love. Ex: Great D, Fast WRs, The Color Green.)
1.
2.
3.

Dislikes: (List three things that you hate. Ex: Weak Secondary, Fumbles, Alex Smith.)
1.
2.
3.


2.) One of our local TFFFers will quote your post and offer their team as a foster for the week. They'll tell you a bit about their team and tell you why their team is a great fit for you!

3.)The Foster Fan will watch a game that week and report back to the thread, reflecting on their experience.

4.) Either Adoption or back to step 1!



C'mon, TFF! Help the less football fortunate, Foster A Fan today!

Why I'm Sad: (Give a brief synopsis of why your team makes you sad.)

You know, I love going to the muni lot, and I love the family-friends connection I have with this team. I hate the team itself though. I hate the fact that ever since Butch Davis went mental they've tried to do this Bill Belichick circa 1992 poo poo with running the ball and stopping the run. No one in the loving NFL does this any more, not even Bill Belichick himself.

The loving team REFUSES to draft playmakers and has made it this grand lovely tradition of drafting offensive and defensive lineman with our first picks. So while other teams get the Julio Jones's of the world? we get stuck with some lovely offensive lineman that doesn't do a single drat thing

I cheer for this team also partially out of spite. A lot of the idiots in the greater akron-canton-kent region have given up on the Browns because they have a weaker disposition for bad football than I do. The teams they now follow is the Steelers. These are people that have never set foot in the state of Pennsylvania, have probably never even been to Sheetz let a lone Primanti Bros, yet they have the loving nerve to brag about their titles to my face all the loving time.

I love my stupid team, but they really need to adopt a fast paced passing offense and make it playmaker based.

Likes: (List three things you love. Ex: Great D, Fast WRs, The Color Green.)

Dislikes: (List three things that you hate. Ex: Weak Secondary, Fumbles, Alex Smith.)
1. Steelers
2. Ravens
3. Bengals

To add? My dad bought two shares of Packers stock when they went public so I'm really, really tempted to go follow them a lot more closely than I have in the past. He's said the rights would be mine when he's done with them and he said that I could even go to the shareholders meeting on his behalf sometime. (we've recieved stuff in the mail for this). I realize the whole "Stock" tihng is kind of bullshit but it's kind of a fun excuse for me to follow them

My youth football team growing up was also named the Packers, and I think they could perhaps be a good fit if there's any packers goons who want to get me into them

Congratulations you are now an Arizona Cardinals fan. Join the bandwagon before it fills up, the road to 18-1 begins now.

Okay the defensive scheme isn't simple but whatever, you'll live. Also, the offensive coordinator is technically some dude named Harold Goodwin...but really it's Bruce Arians, and he's one cool motherfucker.

And since you're a Browns fan, you're likely familiar with the quarterback work of Carson Palmer. But now, you don't have to quiver in fear as he unloads bombs on your defense. Which, really, Bruce Arians loves. He learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

Yeah, Bruce Arians loves the deep ball. His QB's take a ton of hits for it.

Palmer's sucked at them this year (2 of 14 on passes 20+ yards in the air), but last year he was 8/29 in 6 games.
