ATTN: Football Fans!

Well, after 24 years as a loyal fan of the San Francisco 49'ers I am seriously thinking of taking my loyalties elsewhere. So I'm searching for a new team. No, I'm not a fair weather fan. I've been through the hard times before. But as long as Dr. York & his pain-in-the-butt-wife are the owners of this team, I can no longer stand by and watch them slowly destroy my team. They don't know what they are doing, and it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon.
So, any suggestions out there for new teams for me? What can YOUR team offer ME as a fan??  I'm looking for a well-rounded team with ownership, management, and players that I can respect.
Here's teams I won't consider:
Oakland Raiders (no explanation necessary) 
Dallas Cowboys (can't root against them for most of my life, and then become a fan)
Philadelphia (I've had enough of Terrell Owens)
San Diego Chargers (if Marty Shottenheimer is still coach, can't root for them)
Here's teams I'm currently considering:
Tennesse
New York Giants
Denver Broncos
Tampa Bay
I was considering the Detroit Lions (I'm still a fan of Mariucchi) but then I remembered that their GM was the idiot Matt Millen.
Any suggestions fans?
Thanks,
V.

Consider Manchester United and/or Arsenal. Both are good solid teams.

Don't blame you 9erfan. Looking like a long season ahead for Dr York's guys.
Didn't see the Rams on your list.
I guess a "former" '9er fan could never make that big of a switch, eh?
I'll break down being Rams fan for you:
Pro's
*cool looking uniforms & helmets
*on TV a lot
*whole lotta speed / greatest show on turf
*usually in the playoffs
Cons:
*idiot head coach
*they play indoors
*big QB controversy going on
*one of the QB's (Warner) has a wife that looks like Alice on the Brady Bunch...YIKES 
Always room for one more on the bandwagon.

How about the Green Bay Packers?!!! They are owned by the city of Green Bay, GM and coach is Mike Sherman. He is Great! We were in the superbowl twice in recent years. One one lost one. But have like 5 other superbowls under our belts. We have made the playoffs every year for aprox the last 10 years. They play like the 49ers used to (I am a 49ers fan also). West coast offense and as a united team. Thats the key word. The team plays together and flows nicely. Everyone is important and it isn't just one player or two. The fans are the best and most loyal in the world. Green and gold grows on ya cause it now flows through my veins. You can find Packers bars out in CA so you could go route for your team with other local Packer fans. Go to www.Packers.com and check them out.

Karla,
I can't believe I didn't think of the Packers! I've always said that REAL football needs to be played outdoors (sorry Jim) and on the frozen tundra!
They are now up there on my list...hmmm....

You of all people should know how I feel.  It's very distressing!
My stuff is NOTHING compared to your stuff. I doubt you would want my pic of me & Ronnie Lott, or Ronnie's autograph where he spells my name incorrectly. The only other autographs I have are Dwight Clark's & Eric Wright's. I also have a very cool jacket that I've never seen on anyone else. No jerseys....sorry.

Go with the Raiders. Dunno why but we're still Dolfans. The Dave and Jay show still unimpresses, their kicker can't kick in the dirt and their oowner looks like a toad.

Yeah, they suck, but you're already used to that.
At least they play outdoors.
There's already way too many packer fans.

Karla, Bruce and Melissa are right! THE PACKERS! Nuff said. They've got a few problems right now with some key players wanting to leave, and they haven't said why they want to but I know this team and everything about them and they will get through this! Unfortunately they passed over a great person to be the DB coach (Butler) in favor of some schlep who doesn't have any experience at the position and I think that that is where most of the animosity is coming from.
Wait am I rambling? sorry!
