This is the third in a running feature at ECB. We'll be rating NFL Fanbases by annoyingness and picking a winner for each division. After that, we'll select wild card teams, and have ourselves a little playoff. If you have suggestions for upcoming divisions or wildcard selections, send them to eastcoastbiasblog@gmail.com.  For previous entries, see here.

Indianapolis Colts

colts fansQuick Reaction: Colts fans somehow have the weakest reputation of any Midwestern fan base (other than the Rams).  This is almost certainly due to a lack of history, dome play, and Indy being a second-tier city. 

The most annoying feature of Colts fans is their unwillingness to listen to any criticism of Peyton Manning.  Most fan bases are a bit in the tank for their signal caller, but Colts fans love Pey-Pey a bit too much.

Houston Texans

texans fans Quick Reaction: There’s always something a little annoying about expansion team fans.  You always question what they were doing before the team arrived.  Were they Cowboys fans?  College Football?  Astros? 

Expansion fans haven’t suffered together as a fan base for years, they have no shared experience, and everything still has that new car smell (even after 7 years).

Jacksonville Jaguars

jaguars fans

Quick Reaction: If you can’t sell out your stadium, I’m not sure if that qualifies you as annoying or just non-existent. 

Tennessee Titans

titans fans Quick Reaction: Titans fans come across as relatively normal people, except they probably would spend far too much time telling you how the Grand Ole Opry is a great tourist attraction. 

Even though they’re still a relatively new team, I feel like the Titans developed an identity very quickly, which can help to make their fans less annoying (or sometimes more annoying).

The Big Winner

Jacksonville Jaguars – I considered giving them a pass because there aren’t enough of them to be annoying, but I’m sure there are tons of people walking around Jacksonville wearing Jaguars jerseys who can’t bother themselves to buy a ticket to a game that isn’t sold out.  And when you get down to it, that’s one of the most annoying things a “fan” can do.
