Football season is never out of season, so whose ready for some football. First of all, I disagree with this and I want it to be known so that’s why I’m telling you first, right now.

A professor at Emory University says that the New England Patriots have the best fans in the NFL.

This study has nothing to do with the smartest fans (Redskins fans, duh) or craziest fans (Eagles fans, BIGGER DUH). It had everything to do with how fans behave as buyers.

It means that fans of the New England Patriots take the top spot because they’re more willing to spend money than fans of others teams are.

The study found that people who are fans of the Patriots and people who are fans of the Dallas Cowboys pretty much spend the same amount of money, to the tie-breaker that they came up with was who had more followers on Twitter.

The team with more Twitter followers is the Patriots, so they took the win. Yeah, this sounds super scientific to me. I’m being sarcastic in case you couldn’t tell.

According to the study, these are the top five teams with the best fans: Patriots, Cowboys, Broncos, 49ers and Eagles (that should make Traci Taylor happy).

The teams with the worst fans are: Bills, Rams, Chiefs, Raiders and the Jaguars.

This might be about the only time that we can say that Washington doesn't spend the most money. When it's sports.
