    St. Louis Cardinals
    Dallas Stars
    Houston Astros
    whoever the Dallas Cowboys are playing

    (I'd include Rice University, but what's the point)

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

  • No surprises from me.

    Red Sox - life
    Patriots - life
    Bruins - life
    Celtics - life
    BU Hockey - life

    Every other team I hate. Passionately.

    I despise all college teams and college sports other than BU hockey. There's a soccer team here in NE playing for the championship next weekend and I know nothing about them nor care to. Thankfully, no WBNA in town. Don't watch NASCAR or any racing. Big golf fan, although Payne Stewart was the last golfer I would've claimed to be a "favorite". Now I just enjoy them all, except Mickleson. That Asian chick who plays pool is pretty hot.

    My teams are in my sigline. I obviously root, root, root for the home team, as well as the Trojans of my beloved alma mater (class of '96). And Arsenal is my favorite team in the English Premier League.
    imageimageimageimageimageimage
  • Football - 2 teams, the Vikes and any team playing the Packers

    Hockey - North Stars up until that silver tounged devil sold us up the river and moved to Dallas. I mean come on Dallas? Now I cheer for the Wild but its not the same. Bad nickname and uniforms make it tough. Probably the Maple Leafs

    Baseball - Twins but they are starting to bug me with their lack of signings and how they're the cute little small market team that can't compete with anyone. Boo-Hoo!!!!!!!

    NBA - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    Bucs since the mid 90s
    Mariners since the mid 90s

    Always a fan of sports, I always rooted for the underdogs (rooted for the Bengals against the 49ers in the super bowl). Got to where I started to want a team of my own to root for, and everyone rooted for the local teams, 49ers/Raiders and Giants/A's....I went a different route, and picked the teams that were the worst (underdog lover in me) and chose them to root for. Figured hey, it's as valid as any other reason, and been a fan ever since.

    Never really got into hoops or hockey, just didn't have the appeal to me the other 2 did.

  • ctsoxfanctsoxfan Posts: 6,246 ✭✭
    Pretty simple -

    Red Sox (by far, the team with which I most live and die with)
    Celtics
    Steelers (not the Pats, believe it or not, though I certainly like to see them do well - my favorite team from childhood was the Steelers and it has stuck with me through until now)

    Hockey - who cares?

    All three basically ever since I began to play and follow sports.

    Bears - life

    Bulls - from mid 80's (when I first discovered basketball and when Jordan arrived) to present. Except 1998-2003 in protest of Jabba the Hut, a.k.a. Jerry Krause.
  • Brian48Brian48 Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭
    Hockey = Bruins (although I'm boycotting the NHL at this time)
    Baseball = Red Sox
    Football = Pats
    Basketball = Celtics (in the old days that is. I don't give a rat's ass about the NBA seeing what it's become)
    Soccer = The NE Revolution is good team, but I just can't get into soccer so I'm really indifferent whether they win or not.
  • StingrayStingray Posts: 8,843 ✭✭✭

    Brooklyn Dodgers

    Minneapolis Lakers

    San Francisco 49'ers back to when RC Owens was catching the Ally Opp

    Oregon Ducks back to when they were in the Pac-8

    Does that give you a idea of how long ?
  • NHL - Nashville Predators - Since they came into the league
    NFL - NE Patriots - Since 1994
    College Football - Notre Dame Fighting Irish - Since 1994

    None for basketball or baseball.

    The only teams I hate are Notre Dame, Michigan, Yankees and Cardinals. I hated the Pistons in the 80's and 90's but now I like them but am hardly a fan.

    This gave me an idea but didn't want to hijack the thread so go here!

    Steelers=25 years (as a kid starting liking them after their SB titles)
    Yankees=24 years (liked the Phillies in '80 for obvious, follow the winning team, kid's reasons)
    Sixers=24 years (the team with Dr. J, Mo Cheeks, Billy Cunningham as the coach got me hooked)
    PSU Football=24 years (right around the time leading up to the Sugar Bowl victory over Herschel Walker and Georgia)

    1. Golden Gophers Hockey '81 to now.
    2. Twins from '77 to now.
    3. North Stars from '79-'93. I still haven't truly enjoyed the NHL since they left.
    4. Vikes from '77 to around '87. Really I'm kind of a bandwagon fan with them, I like it when the win but seldom watch anymore.
    5. The Wild and the Timberwolves really haven't held my interested other then during their respective playoff runs a couple years ago.
  • Nebraska Cornhuskers, Life (41 years)
    Patriots, 29 years
    Red Sox, 19 years
    Hartford Whalers, 1986-1997 image

    I love hockey, but just can't cheer for the Bruins or Rangers after being a Whalers fan. I'll get over it some day. My kids play hockey so at least it is fun to cheer for them!!
  • Oakland Raiders~~~30 years (when Mommy bought me bedsheets)

    Detroit Tigers~~~25 years

    Detroit Pistons~~~21 years

    Detroit Red Wings~~10 years (part timer)

    I also root for the Bolts; I wish the Padres would get ownership that was less stingy (hello, expensive new ballpark and you start cutting the payroll!? image ) and a GM that was, well, NOT Kevin Towers image
    Kobe Who? image At least Dwyane pays proper respect to Da Big Aristotle image

    Yes, I collect shiny modern crap image
