Blazers basketball, Timbers soccer (football), and I guess I've still got a soft spot for Georgia Tech (american, college) football and Braves baseball.

Can I get any love for the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings?

Tigers no,Red Wings yes (But I was assimilated by that one),use to be a die hard Chicago Cubs fan,Green Bay Packers,but I don't need to see the games to much,my favorite is ice dancing and figure skating.
Answers are easy. It's asking the right questions which is hard.

Be positive in the fact that there is always one person in a worse situation then you.

Root for the home team and all that.  So my Giants (been a fan since I was 6), the 9ers (since HS, I like the Raider too) and, of course, WHOEVER IS PLAYING THE DODGERS or COWBOYS.

I'm OK with Oregon Ducks, only because so much of my money went there.

I like the Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, and the Yankees.

Wow, some I'm not the only one with that set? Crazy, right? Bruins for the Cup 2013!

I'd also add:



Football has been odd in the sense that I've grown to like it a ton more since starting hormones, I have no idea why. But it's the World's Game, The Beautiful Game, and I can see why! Hope Moyes can be the next Sir Alex.

I'm someone who likes sports way too much for her own good, all the boys ask me for my analysis and knowledge, haha. Not as much interest these days with hormones, but I still love a great game.  I guess it's based primarily on the fact that you can meet people and talk, an amazing food selection (I'm a total foodie),  there's strategy involved on so many levels of these games, and, oh yeah, sexy guys doing masculine, Herculean tasks, like a home run. Sometimes, if you look at the photos, that itself is an amazing art form, even if you don't like the game played; it's interesting to see the body in such twisted and unnatural positions.

My rooting goes back to my father who is NY-based, had my family all love the Yankees, since baseball is his favorite sport. (Possibly world football, since he also lived in England.) Other sports, yeah, he likes other NY teams, but he didn't push those as much. My surroundings made me grow up with all other Boston teams, given my geography, as a result. Man United was my own choice, and I get why they're hated, and how much it's a bandwagon pick, but I like my teams to win, since a lot of times I feel down and unsuccessful. The teams are one thing in my life that I have no control over, and it's a good escape for me, for when life gets too sad.

Basketball: San Antonio Spurs -- there's a decent amount of pain I'm recovering from with that, although my parents, my sister, and my students are faring much worse.

As you can tell from my username, I'm a big hockey fan. The Buffalo Sabres and Ottawa Senators are my favorite teams but I have a couple of other teams I like. I'll watch any hockey game that's on really.

I'm also a big football (soccer) fan. Manchester United and New York Red Bulls are my favorites.

I'm a casual American football and baseball fan. My hometown team are the Buffalo Bills and I cheer them on but I'm not a diehard fan. I like the Saints too. I watch the Mets sometimes.

Manchester United diehard fan.

I was raised watching sports.  If there was ANY sport ever aired during the '70s and '80s, rest assured my dad would have it on whether he was really into it or not and that game/match would supplant whatever it was anyone else felt like watching.  My dad's standard response to TV requests was, "Nope, there's a game on in X minutes," or "You can change the channel when the game is over."  Even when it was some blowout in a division 2 college game where nobody had a snowball's chance in hell of making the NFL and we were going to miss the first 30 minutes of the movie on the other channel.  He did finally get over it when my mom staged an intervention of sorts...

Anyway, I digress... (I do that.  I have ADD!)

MLB- Yankees and Dodgers
NFL- 49ers and Steelers
NBA- Lakers
NHL- Kings

My wife and I watch a lot of sports together and coincidentally liked all the same teams.

Grew up in Southern Ontario, thus was a diehard Leafs and Jays fan. In recent years, I've paid progressively less and less attention.

I support the Saskatchewan Roughriders and lucky I do because living here and not doing so entails pitchforks.

And for what it's worth, my most intense rooting interest is the Howard rink:

Ex-London, ON here...  My dad always had the Leafs games on when I was a little kid.

OK, why is it "Leafs" and not "Leaves"?  That one always left me scratching my head.

Then again my wife was recently annoyed at some yokel who said "knifes" and later "scarfs".   Although used incorrectly as plural nouns, they are correct when someone knifes you in the belly or scarfs down a burrito!
