I’m a boxing fan, but I haven’t watched in a while. Last time I followed, my boxer, David Tua, got his butt whipped.
Now if you wanna talk wrestling…
MLB: Baltimore Orioles (still, and despite the heartbreak). Also, I root for whatever team is playing the Yankees.
NHL: Washington Capitals
NFL: Baltimore Ravens
NBA: L.A. Lakers
NCAA: Maryland Terps. I didn’t go there, but both my brothers did, and the college I did go to wasn’t exactly known for its sports excellence.
Also, I went to my first single-A minor league baseball game the other day. The team I saw, the Lancaster Jethawks, are now my favorite single-A baseball team. I like them much better than the only other single-A baseball team I know, the team they played that night, the Inland Empire 66ers. I even bought a t-shirt.
Since I don’t see her posting…I’ll be a pal and help jarbabyj out.
Go Packers!!
The glint in her eye will be thanks enough.
NHL – NJ Devils
– Colorado Av’s
– Detroit Red Wings
NFL – Dallas COWBOYS !!!
– Miami Dolphins
NFL- SanFransisco 49ers
NBA-Don’t watch but I used to love to do anti-Bulls stuff to yank LilTel’s chain.
MLB- Yankees Baby!
NHL- Montreal. Who plays better than Canadians?
ENFL- Spain
College- No one but the Buckeyes!
Golf- Mark O’Meara, Serge Garcia, Padrig Harrington
NASCAR- when Dale Sr. died, I went w/Sterling Marlin
Minor Baseball-Toledo MudHens
(5-HT. Good luck this seadson with a decent coach like Mooch, you aught to get youself a winning season. Now If one could just get the Fords to let loose of some of that cash)
(wakimika, Ain’t being bi-costal a bitch? I feel your pain)
MLB: Yankees
NASCAR: Elliott Sadler, Jeremy Mayfield, Ward Burton, and I used to like Kevin Harvick until being his fan meant people assumed I liked Dale Earnhardt too - so now I’m a closetted Harvick fan.
Neurotik,
[sarcasm]Not the Browns, but the Ravens! Maybe the Bengals, out of sympathy.[/sarcasm]
San Francisco Giants
San Francisco Forty-Niners
San Jose Sharks.
Any other San Francisco/San Jose (but not Oakland) team that might be playing.
Couldn’t care less about basketball. I usually just root against the Warriors just to see my friends squirm.
Not a huge sports fan in general, but I gotta give luv to my San Antonio Spurs.
WHO JUST WON THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP.
Thank you and good night.
[sub]Go Spurs Go! Go Spurs Go! Go Spurs Go! Go Spurs Go! Go Spurs Go![/sub]
NFL - Dallas Cowboys
NBA - Meh…Boston…or whoever is playing the Lakers
MLB - Horrid little sport, but I support the Mariners
NHL - Pittsburgh Penguins
NASCAR - I was an Earnhardt fan for years, and so my allegiance is passed on to his son. (Dale Jr., not the other ones)
NFL - San Francisco - lived there for 6 years and learnt about the game watching Steve Young/Jerry Rice etc.
NBA - LA Lakers - First team I ever went to see play (lost to San Antonio in the play offs that year :mad:)
NHL - Montreal - Only team I’ve ever seen play live. Awesome arena too
Soccer - Tottenham - Supported them since I was a kid
Soccer - Argentina - Will always remember the genius of Maradona in the 86 world cup
Soccer - Brazil - 'cause you have to love the way they play the game
Cricket - West Indies - Loved watching them slaughter everyone in the mid to late 80’s
F1 - M. Schumacher & Juan Pablo Montoya but I’m beginning to get interested in Alonso too
Soccer: Celtic are my first team, my second team depends on where I’m living. At the moment (and hopefully for the rest of my life) that would be Bohemians of Dublin.
Baseball: Orioles
Gaelic football/hurling: Dublin
and I don’t follow any other sports.
…but I prefer Cal over Stanford. Other college preferences are based on where my friends go (SFSU, UC’s Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Riverside).
Gaelic Football/Hurling: Dublin. I had the almost unique pleasure yesterday of watching them live being beaten at both sports in the space of a couple of hours.
Soccer (Club): Arsenal - they had a lot of Irish players when I was the right sort of age to adopt a club. But I don’t celebrate their successes or bemoan their defeats with anything like the same emotion as I do Dublin’s.
Soccer (International): Obviously Ireland. I only mention this because internationals are the only soccer games I go to with any regularity.
NFL: San Francisco. But they don’t show it on terrestrial TV here any more. Probably just as well given the 49ers’ declining fortunes.
Baseball: Oakland. Just because I saw them play about seven years ago and loved it. A guy next to us was yelling “Bring Back Catfish” so we did too. A lot. Very loudly. To this day, I have no idea who Catfish is/was. Mark McGwire was playing. He actually turned around to us when we sang our adapted soccer chant:
He’s fat,
He’s round,
He’s worth a million pound,
It’s Mark McGwire,
It’s Mark McGwire.
Ah, the joys of alcohol at sporting events. They lost 14-4 to the Angels, if anyone’s interested.
Rugby: Clontarf (local club)
Football
Oldham Athletic, should they survive the summer.
Farnborough Town, vaguely.
Dunfermline Athletic, very, very vaguely.
Brescia, also very, very vaguely.
Thats about it. Don’t really care for other team sports much; maybe Hampshire in the cricket, but I don’t really care. Not even that fussed about supporting England in international competitions.
Are we really aproaching the level of the Clowns rivalry in Pittsburgh now? Neat! You guys are definitely the #1 most hated team down here.
NFL: Baltimore Ravens
MLB: Ho-hum the Baltimore Orioles
NBA: Who cares?
NHL: Whatever Canadian team(s) make the playoffs, if I had to pick during the regular season…Oh, the Calgary Flames.
College: Towson University ( especially lacrosse ), University of Kentucky (Mom’s alma mater, she’s a big fan) and whoever is playing the Maryland Twerps.
NOBODY circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills
Well, will all the Steelers and Penguins fans, I think that someone needs to go on record supporting the poor, neglected Pirates. Looks like it’s gonna be me.
NBA- Houston Rockets
WNBA- Houston Comets
NWBL- Houston Stealth
MLB- Houston Astros
NFL- Houston Texans
WPFL- Houston Energy
AHL- Houston Aeros
And any Houston little or pee-wee league, not that I’m biased or anything!
NFL - 49ers
MLB - A’s
NBA - Warriors, Kings
NHL - Sharks (not a big hockey fan though)
