Most NFL Obsessed State

Football fans everywhere will battle each other to the death of who’s team is better. Rarely will a certain state go head to head over who is the bigger fan base. It’s no argument anyway, it’s been proven that Delaware has been labeled the most NFL obsessed state in the US.

According to a study by onlinecasinos.com, the most NFL-obsessed population is in Delaware.

Our little state put up some big numbers in Google analytics when it came to searching terms related to the NFL. Google searches for 50 different terms including “NFL”, “NFL scores” “NFL schedule” and “NFL draft” were highest among Delawareans.

The most common search in Delaware over the past 12 months was “NFL score”.

Other states that follow the same pattern are South Carolina, Mississippi, West Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.

In overall interest in the NFL, Nevada took second place, Maryland took third and Pennsylvania snagged fourth.

At the other end of the scale, Alabama registers the lowest search levels for NFL-related terms.

A spokesperson for onlinecasinos.com said: “NFL is America’s favorite league, so it was interesting to delve into the data and find out where it’s loved more than anywhere else.

In a state that doesn’t have it’s own National Football team, it’s kind of surprising that we are the most obsessed. The closest options we have for home teams are Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens.

Although, Delaware has proven time and time again to be very diverse in it’s interests so we’re definitely not locked into two teams.

Either way, the proof is in the google analytics, we love football and we can say we’re the Most NFL Obsessed state here in Delaware.

These Are The 22 Best Names in College Football

What is in a name? This is a question that has been pondered for years. It could mean a standard to live up to. It could mean a less than stellar tradition. Or it could also make you laugh. And not in a disrespectful way.

College Football has a history of great names, but the 2023 batch is a really good list. Ranker.com has listed the 50 funniest names in college football from the 2022 season. I thought it’d be fun to take their list and build off it with college football’s best names for the 2023 season. There will be no discrimination here. Power 5 or MAC players, if your name is funny it stands on it’s own. Your conference’s television contract won’t gain you any preferential treatment. The barometer is making me laugh, not where you play or how good you are.

Some of the best names in college football that we lost from 2022 to 2023 include Tank Bigsby, Thunder Justice-Keck, and Boogie Knight. For what it’s worth Thunder Justice-Keck is an all-time name and should be signed by a CFL or XFL team based on the name alone.

Some of the highly rated prospects coming out of high school stick out early in the recruiting process. Whether it’s funny or just unique, a name that stands out seems to elevate to profile around a prospect. I’m looking at you, General Booty. The season is still a ways away, but let’s start looking at the best names in college football for the 2023 season.

  • General Booty (QB, Oklahoma)

    The most famous third-string quarterback in college football. He has a deal with Rock ‘Em Socks producing branded socks and underwear, the boxer briefs  say “Booty” across the back.

  • Kool-Aid McKinstry (CB, Alabama)

    Since everyone pronounces his first name wrong, he’d rather people just call him ‘smoke’.

  • Steele Chambers (LB, Ohio State)

    Came to Ohio State as a running back, but switched to linebacker.

  • Chief Borders (LB, Nebraska)

    Linebacker Chief Borders spent two seasons at the University of Florida before transferring to Nebraska. It really seems like a lot of guys on this list are transfers.
