My US family is from CO so by default I became a NFL & Broncos' fan back just before they won their 2nd SB in the late 90's. 'this is alright' I thought - a bit of glory for a change.

Didn't quite work like that though. It's been pretty lean ever since. Until now.

Dunno why but I just don't rate Seattle at all. Think the Broncos can (and will) destroy them. Really wished I lived in Denver right now...

I would describe myself as a supporter, not a fan, but I am not sure where the dividing line is.

I have never heard the word "supporter" used in American sports. I use the word supporter too when I talk about my British sports teams.

American MLS soccer forums are full of it. To them a "supporter" is the real deal, supporting all 90 minutes, complete dedication to the team, mere "fans" are just in it for themselves, to be looked down upon. Kind of arse about tit to the way I would see it, if I cared to define the terms.

Living in Denver it's hard not to get caught up, a lot of my co workers are die hard season ticket holders so energy is high in the office.

when I Googled "supporter" this is the image I got....

One think I noticed is that there does not seem to be the need to be settled down for kick off and it is normal for people to drift away at the end, I would never do that for a footie game, but then we did score in the 97th minute on Saturday.
