They may not be number one on the charts but they are number one in our hearts!  According to a Harris Poll for six years running America's favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. The Seahawks made quite a jump into the top 12 while the Colts without Manning will have to man up a few places to make up ground they lost since the last survey.  We wish them Luck—get it, Andrew Luck?  Sorry for the cheese, which by the way reminds me that the cheese heads home team Green Bay Packers come in at number two.
