Q: The more you watch, the better you’ll know teams that you might want to support, and the easier it’ll be to eliminate possible choices. In fact, watching a significant amount of football on TV is the best way to educate yourself about the game and about teams.  Watch different teams from different regions. Watch your local team, or the team your friends and family favor, play against a top ranking team. Don’t be afraid to watch teams that are far removed from where you live. You shouldn’t really commit to supporting a team until you’ve seen them play live. Seeing a team play in person will give you a much better sense of whether or not you‘ll be comfortable supporting them in the future. Attending an actual game is very important in narrowing down your choices. Consider:  Attending a game will give you a sense of the specific fan culture of that team. You’ll see how fans tailgate, how they behave, and you’ll get a sense of whether or not you fit in. Attending a home game for a prospective team will give you a sense of the atmosphere of their stadium. You’ll hear the songs they play and the announcer. You’ll also see the halftime show, hear the band, and see the cheerleaders. Try to get good seats, rather than seats in the nosebleed section. This way, you’ll be closer to the action and you’ll be able to see how the players and coaching staff interact on the sidelines. If you’ve done your homework so far, you’ll have a fairly decent idea of what the stats mean (wins, losses, touchdowns, and more). Take your list and lookup the stats of the teams on it. The stats might speak to you, and might give you an idea of who to support and who not to support. Since you’re trying to pick a favorite team for the long-haul, don’t rush the process. Set aside a month or two, or perhaps even the whole football season before you make up your mind. You’re going to want to review all of the teams you’ve considered fairly, and give yourself time to consider the many factors. After you’ve watched a number of games and considered other factors, make your list. Include 3 to 5 teams that have impressed you the most. This list does not need to include all winners, or all hometown teams. It can include teams that you like for any reason. Don’t feel like you need to justify putting a team on your list. You’re simply narrowing down the number of possible teams.  Include teams that you might have an emotional attachment to because of family, friends, or region. Include teams that have individual players or coaching staff that you already support. Don’t be afraid to include teams for any reasons. After all, this is all about your preference! Now that you’ve educated yourself about a number of teams you’re interested in, watching some of those teams again will gain you new insight. Watching your prospective teams, once you’ve narrowed down the selection, will give you a really good idea of which teams you favor more.  Try to watch the teams on your list play against each other, if possible. Watch more than one game for each team. Attend more games in person, if you can. When you’ve got your list, start to narrow it down. What matters most to you? Is it individual talent, the coaching staff, hometown loyalty, or other factors? Ask yourself all of these questions, and eliminate one at a time from your list.  Make a list of pros and cons for each team. Rank the teams based on emotional value, skills level of the team, or the importance of tradition (if your family supports the team). Eliminate teams that don’t measure up. Once you’ve reviewed all of the necessary information, pick a team. This is the moment you’ve really been waiting for. You’ve done all of your homework and considered a number of factors, now you get to support the team that has won this vetting process. After you’ve vetted the team and decided to support them, watch another game. This should be a new experience for you. You’ll no longer be scrutinizing the team, but supporting them. You’ll take pleasure in their victories, and you’ll mourn their defeats.
A: Dedicate some time to watching significant amounts of football on television. Attend a couple football games. Review team stats, to begin the process of narrowing down your choices. Avoid rushing this process. Make a list of teams that impress you. Spend time watching or attending the games of teams on your list. Narrow down your list. Pick a team. Watch them play, again.

Q: If you've never made brake lines before, you'll need to do some research to ensure you're installing the correct parts. Look in the owners manual, or bring the old brakes lines off your car and into an automobile shop. Head to the local auto shop and grab the parts necessary for your overhaul. You should be using the old parts as a guideline for the lengths and sizes, as all cars will have slightly different specifications.  Don't forget to purchase the appropriate brake fluid as well. You'll need to fill it later. Again, when in doubt, do some research. The internet is filled with specific advice for each make, model, and even year of the car. As long as you have the right sizes and fittings, you can buy brake lines that are already double flared. Make sure, however, that the pre-flared line will fit your car by comparing to the old lines. These devices are relatively inexpensive, and will quickly pay for themselves if you're flaring multiple lines. They come in three basic varieties:   Manual: The cheapest, most basic option (usually under $100), these are perfect for most non-professional mechanics and hobbyists. Can even be borrowed or rented from many auto stores.  Leverage Manual: Like manual, but require less time and force for each flair. If you restore vehicles frequently or want a complete overhaul of your lines, this may be worth the extra money. Usually several hundred dollars.  Hydraulic: Makes quick, even flares, but is likely overkill unless your making multiple flare lines a day or need to save time (like an auto-mechanic might). Can get very expensive. You need to make clean, quick cuts in the brake tubing or else your lines will be weak and prone to leaks. Tubing cutters clamp to the tube and then rotate around the tube with a small knife, slowly cutting in a circular motion instead of pushing down to cut, which could pinch the tubing. They are usually less than $30. In a pinch, you can use a hacksaw. If so, however, use only light pressure, focusing on cutting side-to-side instead of up and down.
A:
Research the appropriate brake line fluid, fittings, and sizes for your vehicle in either the owner's manual or at a local auto shop. Purchase a new set of brake tubes, fittings, and flare nuts with rust-resistant alloy finish. Know that you can purchase pre-fabricated lines at most auto stores to save time and energy. Purchase or rent a double flaring tool kit. Purchase or borrow a tubing cutter.
