Last week while watching the Packers vs 9ers game, all I heard from Aikman and Buck while you hear chants of "Go Pack Go" in Levi stadium is that the Packers fans travel well.  

So, you mean to tell me all those people traveled from Wisconsin to California?  Uh, what?

Just wondering if this captures anybody attention but mine?

Might just be in my head, but I've always felt that statement as being a little tongue-in-cheek. They know that people from Pittsburgh aren't flying all over the country for games, yet there are always Steeler fans everywhere.

 

"They must 'travel well'" *wink wink* *cough* BANDWAGON *cough*

I think that you will notice that teams with lots of recent wins, and/or National Titles or SB's will always "travel well".

 

Most of them arrive via bandwagon.

This is true, but there are still a handful of franchises that just have a large fanbase due to prolonged success and "Dynasty" years. 

Dallas, GB, Pittsburgh, and more recently, NE come to mind. You will find more of those fans than any other team due to the "prestige" and history associated with the franchises. They are (excluding Dallas) perennial playoff teams and well run organizations (again excluding Dallas).

Dallas fans are just mouth breathers that don't realize how shittily run their franchise truly is. And they're stupid. But I will say, they are loyal.

Yup. Chicago would be an example of a team that just has loyalty in recent years.

That "travel well" line is bullsh*t.  The Seahawks are a perfect example.  They played here last year and there were quite a few of those clowns walking around in crisp new 12 and Wilson jerseys.  The only place those morons traveled was to a computer so they could log into Amazon.com and buy a Hawks jersey.  "Travel Well" is the PC term for "fuging weak kneed flip flopping bandwagon asshole".

      It's sort of funny you guys were so bad with 3s tonight about the same time Silver and LeBron both say the game is broken due to too many 3 attempts. The NBA is almost unwatchable. No defense, refs call fouls for almost anything, guys care more about looking pretty on the court than playing tough, etc. Today's NBA is putrid.

      TV Coverage for this weeks game

      It's gotten more complicated with the change of CBS and FOX no longer being exclusive AFC/NFC partners From a home team perspective, the NFL requires the home market (which is typically the broadcast reach of the station airing the game) to carry the game. For times where there is a conflict (let's say, FOX Charlotte is airing some major news event) then the broadcast will go to a local station that FOX Charlotte has an arrangement with -- like the CW, maybe.  Only in super-rare instances would local FOX throw the game over to a major competitor like to WSOC/ABC. But it could happen This is how games that are "exclusive" to streaming will end up being broadcast by a local channel in those home team markets -- because the NFL wants the local market to be able to see the game.  Amazon TNF games will always be available on some local channel in those teams' markets, for example. Or the upcoming Netflix games For TV markets that do not have a local team, then the local station gets to choose from what's available. Ideally, they'd choose a regional game or one that is close in the conference.  In Atlanta, for example, we would typically get one of the NFC South matchups for times when the Falcons aren't playing.
