For the record I am not accusing any of those teams current fans of being Ram fans before because I know Oilfan 81 will jump in to defend his being a Colt fan if I don't post this part.

True that.
I for one want to see some of these fans of the winning teams backing there team when there team goes 1-15 or 3-13. It will happen eventually every team needs to rebuild eventually. I want to see them support them and watch them almost every sunday eventhough it is painful to watch. Those are my favorite fans, the ones that stick with it no matter what.
On the other hand I want people to give credit to the fans who stick through there team going through the bad times when they finally win a superbowl. I know for a fact I will enjoy a superbowl win (if the dolphins ever do it again), more than the casual football fan who becomes a dolphin fan because I know what it felt like to go through a year at 1 -15.
With that being said the Lions fans (that remain) are definately diehards and must have the toughest skin, they've never really recovered since Sanders retired.
