Surprising. The map shows the Jets have one county - Nassau County, Long Island.

Long Island stretches into the Atlantic Ocean.

I guess the white ones are counties without Internet...

I think a lot of this map is off. The Cardinals' spread is probably a bit exaggerated.

That's funny that Hawaii are all Steelers fans, lol.

Why is that funny? They've had lots of Island dudes and they've won the most Superbowls. Bandwagon fans that can relate. They are everywhere.

I was thinking that Hawaii's love for the Steelers might have been largely in part due to Polamalu's fame.

Why in the hell is there a blue county right in the middle of all the red in Kansas? Is that Wichita?

It is funny because it is not true. There aren't many Steelers fans here.

As I said, it is not true. Hawaii is Rams, 49ers and Raiders country. I don't know anyone here that is a Steelers fan, and I've lived here for 21 years.

Since it is based on Facebook "likes" my guess is that it is a club of Steelers fans here that are probably temporary residents in the military skewing it. And there are military fans of every team here. If you go to sports bars to watch games (at 7 am) it is mostly military and every team has a group of fans. That is why I suspect it is one of those groups skewing the results.

The Raiders didn't even win Oakland? Is that possible?

Most of their fans probably can't figure out how to log in to Facebook.

Ya know, I've noticed that. I live in the Southeast corner of Iowa and Chiefs fans are relatively slim-pickens here. However, when I go to Des Moines area for wrestling tournaments or whatever, I constantly see people wearing Chiefs gear and am constantly thrilled because I'm not used to seeing it. I always go out of my way to say "what's up" to them. I'm always like, "whoa, a CHIEFS fan?! I'm a Chiefs fan too!!! Right on!!!" Most of the time they will give me a look like, "umm...yeah....so, what's your point?" When I see Chiefs fans in my area, they are generally as excited as me to run into another Chiefs fan, presumably because we aren't used to it. I have noticed that Des Moines area inhabitants are definitely accustomed to encountering fellow Chiefs fans... I don't care...I'll continue to act like an excited tourist when I see them.

Correction: They don't allow internet access in prison.

I feel the same way here in northeast Oklahoma. I normally speak to no one when out in public...but if they are wearing Chiefs gear, I strike up a conversation in a second.
