“I’m not surprised, motherfuckers,” as Nate Diaz once said. The Eagles run the east coast, and Alaska as well. They’re all about the Birds in Ketchikan.
Just for the heck of it, I went through and tallied up how many states each team claimed, and came up with this:
- Chiefs: 13 states
- Eagles: 12 states
- Niners: 5 states
- Patriots: 4 states
- Bengals: 2 states
- Vikings: 2 states
- Cowboys: 2 states
- Bengals: 2 states
- Bills, Ravens, Bears, Packers, Seahawks, Saints, Lions, Steelers, Broncos: 1 state each
- Commies: one swamp
So obviously the Chiefs and Eagles were the best, and therefore got the most views across the country. But nobody cares about most of the flyover states in red and white, so we can easily declare that the Birds are America’s team. They even penetrated New England and the Midwest, and down into Florida. Everybody loves the Birds. Go Birds!
