favorite sports teams::

list ur favorite sports teams .. and why if possible


Steelers- i am from pittsburgh
(i didnt jump on the band wagon!)

Tampa Bay Lightining- I like Vince Leclavier and Martin St. Louis .. great hockey players

Wilkes Barre / Scranton Penguins - Gotta rep the hometown hockey team ...no matter how much they suck ( most of the time)

yea
i am a fanatic of ice hockey .. I love to play it and watch


So ...tell me about your sports teams...

Yikes! I'm a HUGE Bengals fan, but I really don't hate the Steelers as much as the rest of Cincy b/c I respect the Steelers, even though Kimo basically almost ended Carson's career. But Carson's sweet, so he's recovered and amazing right now... I'm a Bengals fan b/c I've grown up in Cincy, and I love football (and yes, I am a girl.)

I also love the Chi-town Cubbies. Reason - My mom grew up near Chicago and I fell in love with the Cubs the moment I set eyes on Wrigley Field. The whole tradition and camaraderie and beauty of everything really made an impression on me. And needless to say, it's not like I'm a fair-weather fan either, b/c let's just say it's been storming at Wrigely for a while. But I love my Cubbies...

I just love sports in general...

Alright my love for sports is like Michael's for Ryan.

Baseball- Philly Phillies gotta rep the home town team

NBA- Dallas Mavericks- jumped on that wagon before they were good. back in the steve nash, michael finley, dirk days

NFL- the Iggles.

College Basketball- Gonzaga- I live for the Zags. My life wouldn't be complete wothout them. I'm obsessed. It's getting scary. They don't have a football team so...

College Football- recently became an Iowa fan. All my freinds are die hard college football junkies so I took suggestions and picked the Hawkeyes as my team.

NHL- Wait hockey started again.....?

Golf- Love Golf, Tiger's my boy.












SOCCER SUCKS

GOOOOO SAABBBRRREEESSS!!
my favorite Buffalo team.
The Bills, gotta rep B-lo.

As for soccer, my favorite sport.
My favorite National team is Germany, followed by England.
The English Premier League is definately LIVERPOOL.
The German Bundesliga, is Bayern Munich.

Mhmmm.

great responses!

I hate so much about the things you chose to be.

I second that

Baseball:
AZ Diamondbacks (hometown team!)
Chi White Sox (other hometown team!)
Whoever is playing the Yankees


Football:
Bears (proud bandwagon fan!)
whoever is playing MN or Denver
Raiders
Chiefs

Basketball:
SUNS!

um, hockey:
no idea!

oooo

that was a low low blow my friend .. no prob ... everybody is different

Oh excuse me, well I know about a few billion other people in this world who would beg to differ, not to mention about a billion Asians!... Yeah, well I get a little frustrated when I'm dealing with INCOMPETENCE!

so, yeah, soccer does not suck. it's a sport like any other. You have to be in fantastic shape just to play, and it's really not boring. If you look at how they move the ball around and some of the goals they score... it's actually really awesome. My fav. national team is Brazil, b/c they are so good, and they are so entertaining to watch!

Oh yeah, and college sports:

Purdue, and anyone who beats Indiana U.

Ronaldo is fat, but a great goal scorer, so catch-22.
Brazil is fun to watch, they're so fluid.

Plus, there are alot of hot scorer players.
Second only to lacrosse players... I wonder if a game is on...

College football (the only football I really watch)- Nebraska Cornhuskers all the way!!
For soccer I will have to go with Italian team- and not because the won the world cup they are just awesome anyways- I do wish the USA team would have been better...

sweet ... i have never known another person ( besides my dad ) who liked to watch the premier league

Do you have FSC ?

ok ok

no arguements...
well ..friendly arguements are permitted....

and speaking of hot soccer players .. David Beckham ??

yep, so true!! and Ronaldinho is, IMO, the most entertaining player to watch. Brazil just has their own game!!

My favorite sports team overall is the Irish international rules football team, followed closely by the Australian team.

Next are the Sydney Swans in Australian football, County Kerry in Gaelic football, and the Wallabies (Australian national team) and Ireland in rugby union. Then we finally get to the country I'm actually from, and the Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos.

Yep, I'm unusual. But Australia and Ireland just have better sports.

I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.

But seriously, the Azzuri are the cheatingest bunch of cheats who ever cheated. Remember that time they cheated their way past the Socceroos like the cheating cheaters they are? 'Cuz I sure do.

I still like them anyway- maybe I am just drawn to them because I am Italian (my Great grandmother was from Sicily) But I also love watching the Brazil team

no sports here, I actually stopped watching the NBA when Jordan left, call me cheesey but that man was God on the court.

And i'm still waiting for nude hockey to get more attention.

Yes, but they NEVER play Liverpool games or bundesliga games, or any champions league games I'm interested in. But, I'll watch some Arsenal games here and there and some Chelesa games, (because Michael Ballack is amazing.) I do watch Sky Sports News alot, it's sweet, so many highlights (including Liverpool ones!!)

GarethKeenanInvestigates,
A.) I love the name.
B.) Where are you from, not the States I assume.?
C.) Ditto, about not liking the Italians. The PK in the Austrailia game B.S. They also made me cry, during the semi-final match against Germany. I cried for d-mn near 20 minutes.

A) Thanks.
B) Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
C) I didn't cry, but only because all the liquid in my body had turned to steam. I hate that team a lot.

LOL Me too. But I hate the Braves so much I was forced to root for the Yankees in the '99 World Series. Now I hate the Braves even more.

Baseball:
Chicago Cubs. I grew up in northern Indiana and used to watch the Cubs with my dad.

Football:
Ugh...no thanks.

Hockey:
Detroit Red Wings. No real reason. But they used to be fun when the fans could throw octopus' on the ice.

I actually really enjoyed the Winter Olympics this year. I usually don't watch them.

I don't really watch pro sports. But college sports i watch constantly. USC and Yale are my main teams, but i like Michigan and Virginia too.

WVU, my alma mater. 7 wins, 0 losses. Let's go, Mountaineers!

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON JORDAN!

I hate that man with a passion. I hate the fatc that he is called the best by everyone. Why? He played no one. Reggie Miller? Karl Malone?
Magic had Larry. Larry had Magic. They both had Isiah and the Pistons.
Wilt had Russell and they changed the rules for him, without Wilt, Jordan would be playing a different game. Russell had Wilt and 11 rings.

Jordan had Pippen who doesn't get enough credit. He was great. Rodman was crazy enough to do Jordan's dirty work. He also had Phil Jackson.

I think he was great but he's overrated.


and he pushed off in Game 6 of '98

wow ...nude hockey .. that would be extremly cold , and it would hurt like a mother when you fell.. but other wise it guess it would cool ..lol

Definately agree with funbrookies on liking whoever beats the yankees! I absolutely hate them and Jeter and A-rod.

Baseball: Tigers, Red Sox
Football: Not a huge fan of professional football (but I'd pick the Patriots), I like college football (especially Michigan college teams...gotta stay true to my state!)
Basketball: Pistons, duh
Hockey: have to say I dont like a hockey a ton, but I'd choose the Red Wings

So obviousley I root for the home teams for the most part!

I fully agree on Rodman being the dirty worker! I had a love/hate relationship with Phil
and I dont know why.

And Wilt is in a category all himself for basketball & his other 'activities' LOL

Nude hockey? I'd rather see nude soccer.

Baseball: Eh. Not really into any teams. I was excited when the Red Sox won, but that was the last time I was very interested in baseball.

Football: Packers. You can take the girl out of Wisconsin, but you can't make her stop drinking or liking the Packers. No matter how craptastic they are this year. (But we beat Detroit! And Miami! Woo?)

Hockey: I love Atlanta Thrashers games. I don't know much about hockey, but I know that my company gives me our box seats at Philipps for free sometimes, which is always fun. The worse they do, the more free tickets I get, since our customers don't want them. But, the tickets are actually getting pretty scarce.

Basketball: Yuck. (NBA, I mean) I love March, but don't have a favorite college team. I always root for Wisconsin, but I can't help it.

Soccer: My brother has forced ManU on all of us and I'm starting to dig them. I'm hoping work takes me overseas soon so I can try and catch a game.

The DENVER BRONCOS - Now i have been a broncos fan while growing up in california my whole life. fighting the 49ers and chargers fans off. raiders fans dont count casue when do they win. they suck.... get it i a broncos fan hating the raiders... nevermind... We (my team and i) are the greatest football team of all time (if you dont count total superbowl trips/wins and win percentage) and the last day of this year i will shut up the 49ers fans with the broncos beating down alex smith and the whole red and gold team.

Dodgers and Yankees Are my favorites for baseball

Clippers in the West.. HATE HATE HATE the lakers...
and 76ers in the east! GO 6-ers

soccer- sucks

Hockey. does anyone watch anymore. aside from canada. red wings...

OK, here is the source of most of my joy and most of my pain:
Born in Tallahassee while my Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Uncle and the woman who would eventually become my Aunt were all attending Florida State. Because of me, Mom and Dad had to drop out and get jobs and all that but Grandpa got his Masters and Uncle his Bachelors. (He didn't marry Aunt until many years later but that's where they met.) SO for college Football, I am a born Seminole.

Because of the whole not getting his degree thing, Dad moved around a lot chasing the jobs and one of those places was Florence, Kentucky - right across the river from Cincinatti. The first baseball game I ever saw was when my dad took me to see the Reds. Didn't understand what was going on but I got a bat with Bobby Tolan's name on it and I was with my dad and we had hot dogs so it was all good. Had a soft spot for Cincy ever since. I couldn't have been more than 5 or 6. I am told that Pete Rose and Johnny Bench lived in the same apartments we did but I don't know it to be true. It was before they were really famous at any rate - late 60s early 70s.

We ended up in Dallas, TX when I was in 3rd grade. Dad took me to Rangers games and Cowboys games. Saw Roger Staubach come from behind (again!) to beat the Eagles one time. I saw Barry's dad Bobby Bonds hit back to back 3 run home runs one time. Froze my freeeeekin butt cheeks off watching the Rams beat my Cowboys one time. Didn't care for that. Lots more baseball games than football - seats were cheaper. But the hot dogs were still aces.

Been a die hard Rangers and Cowboys fan ever since. It kills me that I moved away from Dallas before my all time favorite baseball player, Nolan Ryan, pitched for the Rangers. But I did get to see Staubach and Tony Dorsett, and Hollywood Henderson and Golden Richards and The Two Pearsons, Drew and Preston (Unrelated to each other, I believe) and Toby Harrah and Sunny Jim Sundberg and Bobby Bonds and others play.

So I'm a Cowboys, Rangers, Reds and FSU fan. The best thanksgiving ever was a few years back when I drove up to Dad's in North Carolina and we wailed and gnashed our teeth as the Gators whipped our butts for 2 quarters and then cheered and cried tears of joy (and mimosas) as we came back from 31 points down to tie the game in the final seconds. Turns out that was the last game I ever got to watch with dad. We just never got together again at the right time for game watching.

People, don't waste game watching opportunities.

So... you guys watch the game last night?

that's like beating up the short bus kids.


detroit lions.
hear the roar.
always been an underdog fan...not sure why, just not a fan of big winners.
used to watch hockey, but then they won the stanley cup. pfft.

Detroit... If they put in Mike Williams they might win some games.. USC BABY. and hockey i stopped when the player did (Mo Money Mo Problems).... and farve is what 60, he needs to retire.. its his time.. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lions fan? What? You mean there are 2 of us?


Lions, Pistons, Red Wings, Tigers, and Wolverines for me. Originally from Michigan, so I love all my hometown teams.

I also root for the Dodgers, Lakers, and Raiders with my honey.

Football: Darn Straight Evil_Hobbit, I am originally from Wisconsin as well and will always be a Packer fan no matter what, even if they do suck this year. Professional football is really the only sport I care about. So yeah, that was short and sweet. Just wanted to make a Wisconsin shoutout. Hopefully I didn't embarrass them tooo much.

I love that the Packer-talk pulled you out of lurking long enough to post! Nice to hear from you, fellow transplant.

Sabres, 9 and 0...
LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO.

Where did you grow up in northern Indiana, b/c my mom is from northern Indiana

I know! Thank you! My cousin who is also from Wisconsin moved down to Atlanta as well.


I didn't create this mod just for the sports talk, well ok, maybe I did. But I absolutely ADORE Jim!

i doubt it, but i always keep the faith until the third quarter when you can actually hear the gun that they shoot themselves in the foot with. ahhhh...the lions.


word.
even if the roar is more like a purr...i wouldn't have it any other way.
the win seems like sweet revenge when it does happen.
i always say, we're in it for the first round draft pick.

Roy Williams is the dumbest person ever lions fans.
He said..

"It was stupid how close we were to scoring 40."

In that game they scored...6.

and..

thinks they'll win the rest of their games

they are 1-6

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

it's called the power of positive thinking, captain theglassishalfempty.
so close to scoring 40 points because of all the "nearly" amazing plays they could have made without all the stupid mistakes.
bragging up his boys is kind of his thing.

I don't even care how dumb he is (but those quotes were awfully funny) as long as Kitna keeps throwing TD passes to him. I concentrated on RB and WR in my Fantasy drafts and had pretty slim pickins in the later rounds when I went QB shopping. Kitna is my man. Not putting up McNabb or Peyton numbers but he isn't killing me either. I'm 6-1 and in sole possession of first place in my money league and 50 points ahead of my nearest competitor in my points only for-fun league.

And, while the only thing I know about Wisconsin is Laverne and Shirley lived there, speaking as a fan of the game, how can ya not love Brett Favre? That man ain't got no quit in him. Another non-Dallas player I have much respect for is LaDainian Tomlinson. I wish some players on my favorite and other teams would pay attention to how he acts. Unselfishly doing his job. I read a Sports Illustrated interview with him a few years back and I think he just embodies what professional sports should be.
