Believe it, Packers fans. In a poll of 277 NFL players for Sports Illustrated, 26% of those surveyed said Green Bay Packers fans were the most knowledgeable fans in the league.

Way back in second place are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fourteen percent of the players said Pittsburgh had the most knowledgeable fans.

The next three: New York, 9%; Philadelphia, 8%, and Dallas, 7%.

The way the poll was conducted, they asked fans from each NFL city which team was the most awesome. The Green Bay Packers had the highest majority of fans who knew that the correct answer was the New York Giants.

The way the poll was conducted, they asked fans from each NFL city which team was the most awesome. The Green Bay Packers had the highest majority of fans who knew that the correct answer was the New York Giants.

****This poll was conducted prior to yesterday's Giant meltdown.***

Total Net Yards Given Up By the Giants yesterday to the Packers....................515 Yards.

The last time the Giants allowed over 500 yards was 1980.

The Giants enjoy one of the richest histories in pro football that dates to their birth in 1925. The Giants became a significant part of the NFL as a team in New York, the nation's largest city, helped the young league gain national media attention and a huge fan base. Over the years, the Giants have won six NFL championships that include victories in Super Bowls XXI and XXV.

Not Bad But A Far Cry From This:

The Packers were formed in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1921. No team in NFL history has won more championships than the Packers which has earned Green Bay the moniker, "Titletown USA." Over the years, the Packers have twice strung together three straight league crowns (1929-31, and 1965-67). In all, the franchise has claimed a record 12 NFL championships including three Super Bowl titles.
