habsfannova Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 We did this a LONG time ago, but what the hell....NHL-Montreal: Closest Canadian team. Also my dad's favourite team....NFL-Miami: I don't consider any team a home team here, so I just go with Miami becasue that was my first hat...MLB-Expos National, Red Sox American, because they were the closest teams. And I hate Toronto. I only went for them in the 92 and 93 series.....NBA-I kinda liked the Grizzlies, don't really care anymore...CFL-Sask Riders. Watch them becasue Montreal didn't have a team when I was young. I NEVER switch teams, though I kinda like the Als.Premier-Liverpool, because I know the director of youth development and legend Steve Heighway!

NJTank Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 MLB Mets I was getting into sports in the mid 80s when the Mets had stars like Keith Hernandez, Gary Carte and Dwight gooden, and even before that I was a fan of Rusty Staub. NFL Dolphins I was a fan of Dan Marino and A.J. Duhe when I was 8 and I stayed a fan of teh Dolphisn as Marino broke all the records.NBA NJ Nets becuase they are from New Jersey, atleast for now. NHL Devils becuase they are form NJ run a team right and the Rangers pissed me off www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 NBA - New York KnicksThere was a regional attraction at the time when I first started to follow them (early 90's)MLB - Atlanta BravesI use to watch a lot of minor league baseball as a kid and some of my favorites players at the time ended up in Atlanta (Mark Lemkie, for example).NFL - Carolina PanthersIts kinda funny that I'm saying this on the board, but I started rooting for them cause I decided to pick up one of the new expansion teams (Carolina or Jacksonville) when they played in the Hall of Fame Game eight years ago and started rooting for the team that had the better logo. After that and then moving to Charlotte 7 years ago, they stuck.NHL - Philadelphia FlyersWhen I first started truley watching the NHL, I hated the Flyers because I was watching the Playoff series between them and Tampa Bay because Lindross looked like a dirty player. After that, I just started following them and I became addicted. They are the one team that I follow the most now.NCAA - NC State University / Syracuse University / University of MaineNC State - My school, enought said. Ok, I grew up in Syracuse so when you are stuck in the house because of snow you have no other choice than to chear for the Orange. And since neither school has NCAA hockey (Athough State has a very respecable club progam on the rise - selfless plug) Maine is my Hockey school.

paynomind Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 NHL: ThrashersWent to the first game, and have been to quite a few since. Rode the Zamboni. Love my Thrashers. MLB: BravesIts the home team, and back when i started liking them (went to my first game in 1986) it was easy to get great seats.NFL: Hard Choice. I have a lot of teams I root for in the NFL. I guess my fav is the Falcons, cause Vick is cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet. I like the Titans, Eagles, 49ers and texans, too.NBA: Does this still exist? Bah.
