Mad Dash: NFL fanbases' favorite musical acts revealed

Max Thompson

If you had to guess what music most fans of your favorite team like, would you know the answer? What about rival teams' fans? Thanks to our friends at For The Win, we were alerted to the fact that StubHub attempted to pair up fanbases with musical artists, based on which events they bought the most tickets to attend. The answers in some cases weren't all that surprising, but some were true head scratchers. We weren't at all surprised by Houston Texans fans loving Kenny Chesney or Detroit Lions fans throwing down for Kid Rock. On the other hand, who knew Philadelphia Eagles fans love Maroon 5, or Jacksonville Jaguars fans were all about Elton John? And why does everyone (the Rams, Vikings and Colts) love Ed Sheeran so much? That's not a criticism, we're really just curious. The full list is pretty fascinating if you have the time.

Russell Westbrook really loves Taylor Swift. How much? He's posted videos of himself jamming to her songs in the past, and this week he was back at it, but with video from a concert he attended. We particularly like when he lifts the camera to suggest the crowd join him in singing along, as if they weren't already.

The new Madden 16 is out, and the reviews are in: It's pretty awesome, except for those random glitches that turn it into a haunted football game. Invisible players sacking quarterbacks, or intercepting the ball and returning it for a score is one spooky error. Another disturbing surprise is Aaron Rodgers not having eyeballs, just hollow sockets. There's a patch available now to fix the glitches, but hey, keep it this way if you like your football extra creepy.
