Can we do a Sports Forum roll call?

[WilliamPitt]

I'm liking this place - I can talk about sports without the Lounge saints pissing on me for enjoying mysoginistic ground acquisition violence games - and I'd like to know who else posts here. Post your favorite teams.

WilliamPitt: Patriots, Red Sox, BC Eagles, Holy Cross Crusaders

[Champ]

1. Champ: Broncos, ASU Devils, Pacers, Rockies

[TwoHandedLayup]

2. Colts

Colts, Pacers, Indiana Hoosiers and Chicago Cubs

[AlwaysDemocrat]

102. Colts here too!

I love the Colts (especially recent years but we've been fans for a long time). I follow Indiana (IU) Basketball and the Cubs (for my Dad). I root for the Pacers but I don't follow NBA basketball too much.

[rtassi]

3. 49ers

Patriots, red sox, Terra Nova Tigers!

www.schoonertimberwind.com

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Chicago Cubs baseball....University of Oklahoma football.

I live in Chicago and my sweetie went to OU.

[RoyGBiv]

61. WooHoo!!!

Didn't think I'd see that combo around here. I'm a life-long Cubs and Sooners fan.

[LiberalVoice]

5. Steelers...the only team that matters!

I'm looking forward to puttin a whoopin on Baltimore next week!

[Baclava]

40. Hell yeah...

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

[IronLionZion]

106. GO STEELERS !!!

Fuck Yeah!!!

YEEAAARGH!!!

[Penndems]

111. ANOTHER female sports fan here :)

Football: Diehard Redskins fan but, after we lived in Pennsylvania for 2 1/2 years, also love the Eagles and Steelers.

Baseball: New York Yankees

NBA: Washington Wizards

College: UVa Cavaliers, N.C. State Wolfpack (Hubby's an alumnus).

[dad]

6. -

Football, Panthers and whatever players are on my fantasy team
College, UNC Charlotte
NBA, anybody but New Orleans plus whoever is on my fantasy team
NASCAR, don't give a fuck
Baseball, whatever players are on my fantasy team that year.
Hockey - hopefully they stay on strike forever, haha

[WilliamPitt]

8. "hopefully they stay on strike forever, haha"

LOL

:)

[Smirking_Chimp]

7. smirking_chimp- Mets Jets Nets Metro-Stars NASLCosmos

[WilliamPitt]

9. How are you feeling about Pedro

and maybe Sammy?

[Smirking_Chimp]

14. Feeling good about Pedro

I'm not worried about his antics, we need pitching badly, well we need everything. Yeah we overpaid, but we were criticized for being cheap with Vlad Guerrero, A-Rod, ect.. Al Leiter was our ace, but he is a B level pitcher, Pedro is the best pitcher we've had probably since Doc Gooden in his prime. Or Tom Seaver.
Sammy's on the decline.

[WilliamPitt]

16. I think you're going to enjoy him

As I said in another thread, Pedro's "decline" is mostly due to the fact that his opponents in the AL, particularly the Yankees, have seen him 60 times in the last few years. They can see his changeup coming now. In the NL, his old tricks will become new tricks. The dominant performance he chucked up against St. Louis is evidence of this.

Have fun. He's a wild ride.

[Smirking_Chimp]

21. And he'll face a pitcher 2 or 3 times a game,

mabey giving him an extra inning per game.
I personally like Cabrera better than Renteria, although he is a good player, I liked C's flashy defence.
Keep up the good work BTW :toast:

[WilliamPitt]

22. Orlando is great

I was sad to lose him, but Theo didn't want to give the old dude a 4 year contract. I understand why, and also understand why O wanted four years. I saw him at the victory parade. He gets free drinks from Stamford to Moosehead Lake, afaiac.

On edit: Thanks! :)

[democracyindanger]

10. Trailblazers, Ducks and Ducks. Did I mention the Ducks?

[dr.strangelove]

88. Hey fellow Duck fan.

I work in Times Square and my office faces the Billboard Oregon has used for the past three seasons to market the Ducks.

They have a deal with YES Network(Yankees owned TV network) to play the Ducks games Saturday evening and Sunday morning, so I get to watch the games even though I am in NY.

[democracyindanger]

109. YEAH!

My brother lives in NYC, although his Duck loyalty has slacked off over the years.

Was just there for his wedding, saw a friend. She said that there was a bar where Duck fans would gather for games, but the Alumni association got pissed off (because nobody was going to their bar) and got it shut down.

[autorank]

11. Raiders and.

SF Giants
Celtics
Marvin Hagler
"The Undertaker"
Flyers
Milan

[WilliamPitt]

13. Marevlous Marvin Hagler

He wuz robbed.

[autorank]

24. No shit! "A Draw" Give me a fucking break!!! Another fix.

They knew he was a Raider fan.

On edit: Remember Hagler - Vito Antuofermo -- true brawling. Raises my xmas spirit to think of it.

[WilliamPitt]

25. LOL

No, they knew the pretty boy looked better on camera.

Hagler won. Two knock-downs. Go ask Hearns. I think he's still smiling.

[autorank]

26. Hearn-Hagler -- best fight ever!

[WilliamPitt]

27. Indeed

[lazarus]

12. Spurs

I'm supposedly a Redskins fan, but won't be following them closely until they get a bit better.

So it's the San Antonio Spurs, which, over the past 7 years, is the winningest franchise in the four major sports leagues.

[catzies]

15. Ground acquisition games are one thing.

I prefer the ball in the hoop. And I miss the short shorts. :evilgrin:

Yes, the Sports forum is good sanctuary for when even the Lounge gets too harsh.

My Jazz beat the Sixers tonight! Woohoo! :smoke: :beer:

[PDittie]

17. Rockets, Texans, Astros

order changes depending on what's in season

[3days]

18. Saints and Orioles

I am a glutton

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. Pats, Red Sox, BC Eagles, Chicago Cubs

[havocmom]

20. I posted during last Friday's U of Montana game, but nobody responded

*sigh* No one to lament with me as Havocdad screamed and swore in the TV room...

My IceCats can't lick their lips this year, so that's out. Maybe this spring I can cheer a little minor league baseball. Those fresh outta high school kids from PR are so funny when they come to Montana and try to figure out why they are freezing to death in July. But those kids play ball with more heart and soul than most of the big time players. Much more fun to cheer. (Ever see the face on a kid the first time someone asks for an autograph? :D )

[DrGonzoLives]

23. Yeah

St. Louis Cardinals
Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons
Michigan Wolverines, Indiana Hoosiers

[Lefty48197]

28. Packers, Badgers, Spartans, Detroit Tigers

as if there are other teams to root for.

[mark414]

29. yo

Packers first and foremost
Bucks
Badgers

don't pay much attention to baseball or hockey...


this is classic:
"I can talk about sports without the Lounge saints pissing on me for enjoying mysoginistic ground acquisition violence games"

[THUNDER HANDS]

30. Magic Rat: Jets, Mets, Nets, Islanders

Glad to see the Dolphins about to upset the Pats BTW.

Woohoo!!

[Bill McBlueState]

31. Steelers! and...

Bill McBlueState: Steelers, Pirates, Toledo Rockets, Penn State

[Longhorn]

32. Longhorns, Spurs, Rockets, Texans and Cowboys

and whoever is playing Oklahoma! ;)

[hijinx87]

33. Packers, Dodgers, Red Sox, and Southern Miss.

odd mix, I know.

[frylock]

34. lakers, padres, chargers, trojans (football), st john's nyc (ncaa hoops)

L.A. Kings (they used to be a hockey franchise), SDSU Aztecs (NCAA baseball).

[MrSlayer]

35. MrSlayer: Philadelphia Eagles, New York Islanders

I don't really care much for other sports besides Hockey and Football though I will bandwagon the Phillies in the rare situation that they make the playoffs or series. I'm an Eagles season ticket holder and long time Islander fan despite growing up in the shadow of the Spectrum.

[chyjo]

36. Buffalo Bills/ Buffalo Sabres

Not many other reasons to keep on living in the armpit of the East.

[billfromwny]

83. Bills and Sabres here too

I actually hope they settle this NHL lockout crap, I need something to get me through the rest of the winter!

[chyjo]

91. Right on

I was starting to think that I was the only one of us here on DU!
-CJW

[Forkboy]

37. Me-Pats/Celtics/Bruins *sigh*/Devils/IceCats/Monarchs/Barney Frank

and all local college hockey teams. Oh,and some group of idiots called the Red Sox (good riddance Pedro!).

[shawmut]

38. Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox

[Robeson]

39. Vikings, Vikings, Vikings, and by-the-way Vikings....

[hijinx87]

53. you must be mostly ulcers and scar tissue

:P

[Robeson]

55. How did you guess!!!

But hey, I go back a long way, so I'm used to it now. I wouldn't know what to do if we didn't win or lose every game on the last play! I've learned to make friends with my ulcers...

[hijinx87]

56. since "disappointment" is merely "unfulfilled expectations".

I have come to think that perhaps my expectations are the problem in the first place.

[aaronbees]

41. for me... Blazers, Blazers, and Blazers...

Blazers, Cubs, Mariners.
Second tier: OU and OSU (Okla hoops), U of Texas, BoSox. Soft spot for the Bulls, starting to dig the Sonics. Pretty much hoops and baseball for me.

[hasbro]

42. My boys

Broncos
Avalanche
Nuggets
Colorado Buffalos
Air Force Falcons
DU Pioneers

[MaineDem]

43. MaineDem checking in

Red Sox
Bruins :(
Formula One racing
Any kind of sports car racing
U Maine Black Bear hockey "Fill the steins to dear old Maine..."

Edited to add: TriNations Rugby (Go the All Blacks!)


Since my husband is not interested in sports AT ALL this is my refuge.

[hasbro]

67. Hell of a Frozen Four, huh?

[tx_dem41]

44. tx_dem41: New Orleans Saints, Houston Astros, Rice University...

and LSU Tigers.

[PDittie]

46. Hold that Tiger! And Go Owls!

Last Thursday I went to see my alma mater, Lamar, play Rice at Autry Court. Very entertaining game.

As expected, Billy Tubbs started ragging the officials, and Willis Wilson tried to match him and wound up with the technical foul.

Rice won a close game. I like their teams too. And LSU (Mom got her Master's there).

[tx_dem41]

49. Lamar always gives us Owls a great deal of trouble in baseball. n/t

[Tafiti]

45. The team I care about most is the Bengals.

Through the dismal '90's, I remained true and loyal, and still am. Here's to next year! (Jesus, how many times have I said that? But for real this time!)

I also root for the Colts (live in Indiana, learned to like 'em), the Pacers, and Cubs baseball (kind of by default here in IN).

[soleft]

47. Well Jesus Christ Will, thanks for making any female sports fans ever so

welcome - Since I can't stand cheerleaders, which the Patriots have and the ever cool Jets and Giants don't - I think that gives me mysoginistic bragging rights around here.

Jets Giants Yankees

[Princess Turandot]

75. amen to that!...

someone else from the Dark Side..

Yankees
Yankees
Yankees..................

[VelmaD]

48. Hey...one can be a feminist and love sports

As the Lounge's official screaming, man-hating, militant feminist ;) I hereby declare it so. So there. :)

Anyway, I grew up in the Dallas area so I love my Cowboys, Rangers, and Mavericks. I went to Texas Tech and the University of Texas so I root hard for the Red Raiders and Longhorns too. And of course, anybody playing Oklahoma. ;) Oh, and throw in the Houston Comets - I was at Texas Tech when Sheryl Swoopes was tearing up the NCAA and I'll root for her every time.

I follow girly sports too. Michelle Kwan is a goddess.

[1gobluedem]

50. Michigan Wolverines, Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Tigers

Michigan! Michigan! Michigan!

I have to give a little cheer to Eastern Michigan University too because I work there...

And to Minnesota State Moorhead because my brother coaches there.

I am a lifelong Michigan fan and alumna, third generation. And I grew up near....East Lansing (live in A2 now, though). My parents are native Detroiters so I must give a shout to the Detroit pro teams although I'm not much of a baseball fan. I miss hockey!

[Beetwasher]

51. Yankees, AFC-Jets, NFC-Cowboys, Knicks

n/t

[SaveElmer]

52. Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, Celtics

Eternal Bridesmaids...well at least the Vikings are!

[derbstyron]

54. Steelers; Tampa Bay Devil Rays (someone has to root for them)

and, after all, I am in Tampa Bay

[Scurrilous]

57. Dolphins, Heat , Marlins...

...and 'Canes. :thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

58. My list!

NBA - San Antonio Spurs
MLB - St. Louis Cardinals
NFL - Thanks to Bud Adams, my Oilers are in Tennessee
NHL - Meh...

College - I'm a graduate of Texas A&M, so I follow them.

[vikegirl]

59. Faves:

NFL: Vikings (der) & Colts
NHL: Avs
College: Iowa State Cyclones & Iowa Hawkeyes
NASCAR: Tony Stewart (despite Home Depot) & DEJ

Despise:

NFL: Broncos ("IN-COM-PLETE" is so puerile and lame) & Packers (actually, I like the Pack, but they're the nemesis of MN)
NHL: eh
College: Colorado & Notre Dame
NASCAR: Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Jimmy Spenser

[Telly Savalas]

60. My faves

Hoops: KU Jayhawks
Hockey: Leafs, of course
Footy: Liverpool
Calcio: Milan
Futbol: Barcelona
F1: Jacques Villeneuve
NFL: Chiefs, but I truly prefer NFL films to the actual games

[RoyGBiv]

62. OU - NCAA Football, OSU NCAA Basketball, Cubs Baseball ...

OU or OSU NCAA Baseball

Let's see. Mavericks - Pro Basketball, Vikings - Pro Football and followed Dallas prior to Jerry Jones and during Switzer's reign. Only hockey I've really been exposed to is minor league type stuff. OKC has the Stars. It's interesting to watch, but I wouldn't call myself a fan.

OKC Redhawks - Minor League Baseball.

Byng Pirates - HS Basketball and Baseball, Ada Cougars and Tonkawa Buccaneers - HS Football

[welshTerrier2]

63. Yankees, Jets, Giants, Patriots, Syracuse Orangemen ...

and i suppose the Knicks ...

[7th Generation VTer]

64. Red Sox

Red Sox, Red Sox, Red Sox. Baseball season never ends in Red Sox Nation. Even though I'm afraid next season will be a MAJOR jolt back to our normal state, which is grousing about everything and missing the playoffs because the pitching staff will wilt like steamed spinach.

[anti_shrub]

65. anti_shrub reporting for duty:

NFL: STEELERS!
MLB: Pirates
NHL: Penguins (apparently I'm the one person in America that misses hockey...)
NBA: I hate pro basketball, egos and immature players have killed it for me.

College: Pitt Panthers all the way.

I also like NASCAR, boxing, pro wrestling (I know, not *technically* a sport) and I even enjoy the occaisonal soccer match.

[aldian159]

66. Here goes

Chicago Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Toronto Maple Leafs, DePaul Men's Hoops, Florida State Football.

Really diverse, I know, but great watching.

[kaitykaity]

68. People piss on you because of

...

Not gonna say it. Somehow the moderators always
get involved when I tell you these things.

:eyes:

[WilliamPitt]

126. Wise of you

The moderators usually do get involved when you break the personal attack rule.

Hobbies are one cure you might consider.

[Patiod]

69. Sadly, Penn State

But can't think of any baseball teams off the top of my head

/chronically depressed Phils season ticket holder

[Joe Power]

70. I'm here

Toledo Rockets, Detroit Lions, Pistons and Redwings.

Toledo vs. UCONN
Motor City Bowl
December 27 5:30 EST
ESPN

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls04/bowl?game=motorcity

GO ROCKETS!!!

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

71. I'm a girl!

I'm a girly girl but I'd rather watch sports than shop :D

NFL: anyone
MLB: anyone not on steroids. Hubby wants me to pull for his team (Cincinnati Reds), but I really have no favorite... Living in Yankee-land, I have a love-hate relationship with both teams (Yankees and Mets), and I've relished rubbing it to Yankee fans by wearing Red Sox sweats :evilgrin:
NHL: anyone who can manage not to get the crap beat out of him! and when will it be over with the strike?
NBA: the notion of "team" disappeared a while ago.. now it's all about the individual... I'm a great admirer of Grant Hill, personally and professionally. To me, his recovery and comeback are the second best story in sports (second to the Red Sox) and very few talk about it...

NCAA hoops: college hoops are my biggest obsession (it's the fault of my college years in the NC triangle area, ACC country) to me, there's no question and it's one word: KRZYZEWSKI... he's the best... .Duke Men and Women Blue Devils

NCAA football: this is the one sport I don't give a rat's behind on... but if it's on the tube and I've got a choice between watching the game or going to Bloomingdales, I'll pick the game (no wonder my hubby loves me soooo much and I have mostly male friends)

Motor sports: Yes, I watch NASCAR... Yes, many rednecks like it too, but there are normal people of all races and backgrounds who also enjoy it... Favorite driver? Jeff Gordon, no doubt. He is an excellent driver and a good guy, personally, especially post-divorce.

I also enjoy Formula 1, although I don't get to see it here in the U.S. (unless I want to get up early in the a.m. and turn on the Speed channel), but I have been to a few F1 races when I was a kid (my dad is an engineer who worked on F1 stuff) and I met personally with legendary driver Ayrton Senna, not long before he was to die.

In college, I played volleyball and I like to watch it when they show it on TV (mostly during the olympics). I watch ESPN, I listen to sports radio and I read Sports Illustrated. I subscribe to The Sporting News (great all-around coverage).

My mission in life is to shatter the stereotype of women not being into sports or the stereotype that says a woman into sports must be a lesbian or butchy looking....

I'm an attractive woman, happily married, who is a sports fanatic... in fact, the biggest argument my husband and I have ever had in our 5 year marriage has been at the end of a Carolina-Duke men's hoops game, which Carolina won by 1 point... I was very unhappy... I said "They may have won... but it was totally undeserved!" To which, hubby made the mistake of replying, "What do you mean 'undeserved'?" and chaos ensued :D

[davidinalameda]

72. Let's Go Mountaineers!

WVU; Oakland A's; Raiders; Steelers; Cal (have an ex who's a big Cal fan)

grew up on the Pirates but I doubt they'll ever win again

and I'm starting to follow Golden State more

[DemVIctory]

73. The 'party line' from the town I was born, Iowa City

Iowa: Chicago Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!
I only vote Dem and I only root for teams named 'Iowa' or 'Chicago.' I know the same will be true to the day I die!

[Geekster]

74. Red Sox, Pats, Celtics, UConn Men's Basketball, NY Giants (by marriage)

[OKNancy]

76. OKNancy - pretty obvious

Oklahoma Sooners, GreenBay, Sox

[Bluzmann57]

77. Ok here goes

Baseball-Cubs
Pro football- Packers
College football and basketball-Iowa Hawkeyes
Hockey-well, none really, but I lean toward the Quad-City Mallards, hometown minor league team and all. In NBA I have no real favorite as I rarely watch the product they have anymore, but I was a Celtics fan at one time. Maybe Timberwolves now, but not really serious about it.

[nickgutierrez]

78. Miami Dolphins, New York Yankees, Florida Marlins

A confusing list, I know. :)

[Mojambo]

79. I pop in from time to time

I'm a Seattle guy (M's, Seahawks, Sonics and WSU Cougars)

I can't freakin wait until spring training to get a look at Adrian Beltre. The Sonics are providing WAY more entertainment value than I expected this year. Add in the Seahawks desperate (and kind of pathetic) ass-flop into the NFC playoffs and it's a pretty nice sports scene in Seattle these days...

[hijinx87]

84. regarding beltre

I've been following this kid since he was in AA. The only difference between his .334/.388/.629 in 2004, and his .240/.290/.424 in 2003 was his willingness to go the other way. once he "discovered" right field, everything changed. now, I have never thought that he couldn't use the right side of the field, I always assumed that he just wouldn't.

maybe he's learned the magic lesson, or maybe now that he's signed a stellar contract, he's uncoachable (sp?) -- that was widely whispered in LA for years -- and will go back to his free swinging, raul mondesi-esque ways.

and maybe it's as simple as having another year to heal from that horribly botched dominican appendectomy. it's just so hard to say.

I can give you an easy way to tell if you have the good beltre or the bad beltre, and you should be able to tell early on. the bad beltre swings at anything off the outside of the plate when he goes down 0-2. the good beltre didn't. once. all season long. the change was amazing.

[Mojambo]

101. Our park may make that adjustment easier for him to keep up with...

Right-handed hitters absolutely DIE in Safeco if they don't hit it to right field.

Right center and straight away right field are the big power spots here.

[FlyByNight]

80. Red Sox, UConn, Celtics, Patriots mainly

It's been a pretty good year - sports wise.

[bigwillq]

81. NY Football Giants, Yankees, N.O. Hornets

College Basketball: Syracuse
College Football: Washington Huskies

[TroubleMan]

82. I'm a fan of most of the teams in Florida and Tennessee.

I'm from both states. For college sports, I'm an SEC fan.

I also like the Indianapolis Colts because of the Miami-UT connection (James and Manning). I'm rooting for them this year.

[redqueen]

85. Cowboys, Stars

ex-Ranger fan... couldn't take it anymore.

[KitchenWitch]

86. Here are mine

Twins
Cubs
Vikings
Timberwolves
Anyone playing against the Packers
Anyone playing against the Yankees
Wild
Wisconsin Badger football
Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball (both men's and women's)

89. Mets, [AL] Red Sox, Orlando Magic, NY Giants, [AFC] NE Patriots, FSU, UNC

[madinmaryland]

90. Celtics/Cowboys/Pirates/Ohio State

Its a long explanation.

[Kota]

92. Chargers go Drew Brees!

then Bears then Colts.

[jandrok]

93. Texas sports fan here

Baseball: 'Stros, Rangers, Round Rock Express (AAA Astro's affiliate)

Pro Football: Houston Texans

College Football: Horns, Houston Cougars

Pro Basketball: Rockets, Spurs

College Basketball: Horns, Coogs

[kick-ass-bob]

94. Cubs, Carolina Panthers, NC State, Hurricanes

and Bobcats??? :shrug:

[hollywood926]

95. WV Mountaineers, OSU Buckeyes

[HuckleB]

96. HuckleB, once in a while.

Faves: Mariners, Cubs, Brewers, Packers, Timbers (First Division USL -- still waiting for MLS in the northwest), Lumberjacks (NAU) Big Sky Football, Pilots (U of P) soccer, San Jose Sharks (if and when -- still waiting for NHL in the northwest, too). (Alas, I am currently "teamless," when it comes to the NBA, though I'm loving the old-fashioned play of the Suns and Sonics this year. Team basketball is a joy to watch.)

It comes down to baseball, soccer and cycling, with basketball and hockey on the side and football as social background noise, in my world.

[Lugnut]

97. Pro football, baseball and NASCAR

Redskins, Steelers, NY Yankees, Robby Gordon, Brendan Gaughan and Steve Park. :D

[HEyHEY]

98. HeyHEY

Team Canada, Canucks, Red Sox, Orioles, Chiefs, Ravens, Arsenal, Junventus

[Allenberg]

99. As for me..

MLB - Red Sox, but I follow the Pirates too since I'm from Pittsburgh
NFL - STEELERS
NHL - Penguins
NBA - The Bullets (Wizards is a god-awful name)
NCAA Football - Penn State
NCAA Basketball - I got into UMD while I was stationed in Maryland, and used to go to games at Cole.

[cruadin]

100. cruadin here--baseball is my only interest and the Red Sox...

are my only team.

[bearfan454]

103. Here's mine

Da Bears, White Sox, Blackhawks, Bulls

I grew up with these teams. I will always love them, no matter what.

[skippysmom]

104. Another female sports fan here

In order of importance:

UConn (men's and women's basketball, and now football -- it's the state I grew up in)
Wisconsin (football -- went to grad school there)
Yankees
Patriots

I hate the NBA, and don't watch hockey much.

[Darknyte7]

105. My teams...

Pro sports: Steelers, Lakers & Pirates (though I'm mulling the decision as to whether I'm going to sign on as a Washington Nationals fan)

College Football - Washington Huskies
College Basketball - NC Tarheels

[IronLionZion]

107. Steelers, Penguins, Eagles, Red Wings, Red Sox, Michigan, RIT Tigers

my main sports to watch are football and hockey but I don't watch it as fanatically as some people. I usually try to catch championship games.

and I've been following the Steelers this season and they are kicking ass!!!

WHOOO!!!

[devilgrrl]

108. Buffalo Bills & Buffalo Sabres

[DaveinMD]

110. my teams

Yankees, Giants, Knicks, University of Maryland for college hoops and football, also St. John's for basketball. Yeah, I'm a transplanted New Yorker.

[oldschoolguy]

112. My favorite teams..

Football: I just love football, so any team will do! I guess since I grew up near Austin, Texas, I am partial to the Longhorns.

Baseball: Houston Astros

Basketball: San Antonio Spurs


Favorite player: Tim Duncan, Spurs. Because he plays the game the way it should be played and he plays with dignity. All time favorite: Earl Campbell, for the same reasons. Earl never ran ten yards and pointed to the heavens and pounded his chest like these modern day assclowns. When he scored a TD, he handed the ball to the ref and walked away. He acted like he 'had been there before'. I am as my name implies -- old school.

I am so glad this forum is here. I always feel that I will be treated like a heathen if I post a sports topic among the 'elite' of the DU Lounge.

[DrZeeLit]

113. I'm up for Golf, Baseball, and learning to "enjoy" hockey I think....

Golf = Ernie Els
Baseball = grew up loving the LA Dodgers back in the Sandy Koufax days and then moved to San Diego and became a Padres diehard. Married a baseball coach, Division 1 West Coast and also with Padres so I watched alotta bball... moved to VT and don't have t.v, so I've lapsed.
Hockey -- I'm a professor at Castleton State and some of my students are hockey players (even the women) soooo, I'm learning. You can take the girl outta southern california, but you can't take the So Cal outta the girl. We might not "get" ice hockey -- just not in the genes.

Personally, body boarding is cool. But I don't follow surfing.

Zee Ashworth of Vermont

[Yavin4]

114. Here Are My Teams

Yavin4: Redskins, Yankees, Lakers, USC

n/t

[sportndandy]

116. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! us women's beach volleyball

I can't follow any other teamsports. It is too draining just being an Eagles fan. I need the offseason to recharge.

I do follow individual events: March Madness, The Masters and grand slam Golf, Horse Racing Triple Crown, Wimbledon, NBA finals.

[SeattleRob]

117. Yeah

Steelers, Mets, Temple Owls, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia 76ers

Others - Oakland Raider (Wife's from Hayward)
Red Sox - They beat the Yankees

Most Hated Team - The Dallas Prince Bandar Cowboys

I'm still most loyal of all to my original hometown Canes. Kicking Gator ass in the Peach Bowl was much more satisfying than attending the Orange Bowl with my alma mater USC dismissing Oklahoma.

Otherwise I root for the Dolphins and Heat and November thru March, becaused I loathe baseball.

And since I wager on hundreds of games each week during basketball season, I'm rooting for stuff like Manhattan and Siena to go under 147 every night.
