If you were a brand new fan, and you had no affiliation to a team, who do you think you would end up rooting for?

Had this idea earlier and thought it would be fun here too (plus I haven't made any posts of substance in a while). I also started a thread on Reddit if anyone wants to go give their 2 cents:

So if you were a brand new fan, like from England or something. And you wanted to start following the NFL, but with zero city/state/regional/family ties to a team. Who do you think you would rally around and root for? Would you end up a Falcons fan? Would you find your way back "home" to the Saints? Would "beast quake" be the most awesome thing ever to you? Why?

This was my answer from Reddit:

I'll start. It's so hard to think this far out of the box...ugh. But I tend to lean towards underdogs, so that being said, I think I'd be a Browns fan. Great great fan culture and unrelenting devotion. They definitely qualify as underdogs. Small market team. Deep rooted history. Big media presence lately so I would have a lot of exposure to them as a new fan.

Go Dawg Pound! (am I doing that right?)
