Not even sure how I stumbled onto this from 2011. Anyway, it is interesting.

As legendary Films narrator John Facenda said at the opening of the team's 1978 yearbook highlight: "They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, America's Team."

So we have Facenda to blame eh ....

Raleigh, N.C. – The Dallas Cowboys get touted as “America’s Team,” but PPP’s latest poll shows that, at least right now, the until-recently undefeated Green Bay Packers deserve that moniker, with twice as many fans nationally as the Cowboys. 22% say the Packers are their favorite team, from a list of nine, while 11% prefer the Cowboys, 8% each the Chicago Bears, New York Giants, and Pittsburgh Steelers, 7% the New Orleans Saints, 6% the New England Patriots, 4% the Washington Redskins, and 2% the New York Jets. 24% root for someone else or are not sure.

The Cowboys are, if anything, America’s most hated team. Twice as many (22%) say Dallas is their least favorite team as that they are #1. That is also twice as many as hate the next challenger, the Bears (11%), followed by the Packers (8%), Pats and Redskins (7%), Steelers (6%), Giants and Jets (4%), and Saints (1%). Indeed, in a head-to-head, even more fans line up with the Packers against the Cowboys. Between the two, 49% of American voters like Green Bay more, and only 28% prefer Dallas.

Despite his team’s prominence in fans’ hearts right now, and despite his astronomical numbers in a recent PPP poll of Wisconsin, the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers is the most anonymous of nine QBs tested nationally, and not the most beloved. 53% have no opinion of him, 39% see him favorably, and only 8% unfavorably—strong numbers, but not compared to the injured Peyton Manning’s 51-9, Drew Brees’ 46-6, Tim Tebow’s 50-15, or Eli Manning’s 44-12. He does best Tom Brady’s 35-17, the Cowboys’ Tony Romo’s 23-27, Ben Roethlisberger’s 20-31, and Michael Vick’s 24-43.

The numbers are much less clear when the quarterbacks are listed than when the teams are, but among the nine, Tebow is America’s favorite right now (15%), followed closely by the Mannings (14% for Eli and 12% for Peyton), 10% for each Brees, Rodgers, and Brady, 6% for Vick, and 4% for Big Ben and Romo. At 26%, Vick is by far their least favorite, followed by Big Ben (15%), Eli Manning (11%), Brady (8%), and Romo (6%).

PPP surveyed 700 American voters from December 16th to 18th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.7%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
