Study declares Cowboy fans the best fans in the NFL

Yeah, this oughtta go over well...

Study shows Cowboys have the best fans in the NFL

“We focused on using hard data to determine which NFL team had the most avid, engaged, passionate and supportive fans, the website’s Manish Tripathi said. “By hard data we mean data on actual fan behavior. In particular, we are focused on market outcomes like attendance, prices or revenues.

“We use fifteen years of data on NFL team performance, ticket prices, market populations, median incomes, won-loss records and multiple other factors. We create statistical models of box office revenue, and then see which teams over- and under- perform the model’s predictions.”

Florio points out that the methodology leads to a more likely result of "which fanbase is most easily sold to".

I'd say that makes sense, given that Cowboy fans are easily sold on the notion that they're going to win the Super Bowl every season despite the fact that they haven't had much in the way of real playoff success since the early nineties.

Cowbitch fans have nothing on Browns fans...they, like Pittsburgh, couldn't find their team's city on a map to save their lives.

My thoughts exactly. Browns fans are real fans. They know year in and year out that their team will suck, and they still LOVE that damn team. Not like in Tennessee or Jacksonville where they just don't care, Cleveland loves their team.

    • How about this. We'll revisit this discussion after the Eagles game. Deal? If Bryce lights them up as the current #1 defense I'll happily eat crow and become a believer.
    • I'm no sports psychologist but it does seem like he got through a serious mental block. Someone mentioned above that Thielen alluded to Bryce feeling like he needed to be perfect every play. That feels accurate. Just from watching, it feels like Bryce 1.0 was playing to not mess up (which is the #1 way to make mess up!) instead of just playing the game. Silly as it may seem, watching him dance after running one in yesterday led me to believe Bryce 2.0 is a thing and a legitimate one at that. In the past, it seemed like he felt the need to remain stoic at all times, which is cool if it's your personality but probably is a pretty uncomfortable facade to keep up. Looking back and seeing the way he showed emotion at Bama, that stoic guy isn't him. He's playing the game again, smiling and having fun. Credit to him because having to take a step back like he did could have been a fatal blow for the confidence. I just want to continue to see progress week to week. It won't necessarily be linear but that's OK. He's breaking through blocks and barriers we weren't sure were possible a few weeks ago. Who knows where that trajectory takes him?
    • Stopped reading after the first sentence. I said he did a near 180 from earlier and your first sentence rewrites my words. Grasping at technicalities of general statements.
