winters in buffalo Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 My only #2 team is the Maple Leafs, dating back to when the Leafs and Sabres were in different conferences and rarely played each other. It was like having two hometown teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Sports about which I actually care:NHL #1: Nashville PredatorsNHL #2: When the Preds aren't playing, or are knocked out of the playoffs, I cheer for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Of course in the case of the playoffs it doesn't extend my season by much.NRL #1: St George Illawarra DragonsNRL #2: It would be sacrilegious to choose more than one Rugby League team here. It helps too that all the other teams are bad .International Hockey #1: Unless Australia is playing (Olympics for instance), it's gotta be the Czech Republic (Gotta support Tomas Vokoun)Int. Hockey #2: Finland (Kimmo Timonen is a total champion).Sports in which I have a passing interestAFL #1: Sydney Swans (Closest thing I have to a home team)AFL #2: I used to like the Kangaroos (the blue and white really looks good)NFL #1: Tennessee Titans (Closest affiliate to the Predators)NFL #2: I do like the Broncos (nice colours and logo).NBA #1: Seattle SonicsNBA #2: None.

Anomalied Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm a hometown guy: Cubs, Bulls, Bears, and Hawks. That's it and that's all. I really don't understand how people can root for different teams all over the country (unless you've lived there before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm a hometown guy: Cubs, Bulls, Bears, and Hawks. That's it and that's all. I really don't understand how people can root for different teams all over the country (unless you've lived there before). In my case, I just ogt sick of everyone talking about all the hometown teams, in my case Philadelphia. So when I was little, I picked a favorite player, and then whoever they were on became my favorite team. Also, for those who say you can't have a 2nd favorite team...I may be speaking only for myself, but in most cases, you have a favorite team, then a few teams that you just root for. For example, I'm a huge Red Wings fan, but I also like to see Montreal and Clagary succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 NBA #1 - Minnesota TimberwolvesNBA #2 - Any team coached by Phil Jackson (he is a good North Dakotan, you know) I'd be with you on Phil Jackson if he coached anybody but the Lakers.Here's my list:MLB #1: TwinsMLB #2: Pirates (though I've always liked the Mets)NFL #1: VikingsNFL #2: SteelersNHL #1: WildNHL #2: PenguinsNBA #1: TimberwolvesNBA #2s: Maybe the Pacers and WarriorsNCAA #1: University of North DakotaNCAA #2: University of Minnesota (everything but hockey)EPL #1: Manchester City FCEPL #2: LiverpoolMinor League Baseball #1: Albuquerque IsotopoesMinor League Baseball #2: St. Paul SaintsAnd for those critics opposed to having a #2 team, that's just silly. Having another team to enjoy -- even modestly -- doesn't mean you have any less devotion to your favorite team. Suggesting otherwise is ridiculous. Besides, it isn't much fun to watch a game with ambivalence. I'd rather have a dog in the fight, so to speak, even if it's not my dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
