Below I'm listing my favorite team for each sport, how they did last season, how long they've been my favorite team, and why they are my team.

Nope, I'm not a bandwagon fan.


Football
Who - Pittsburgh Steelers
Result - Super Bowl winners
How long - Since 1994/1995
Why - I live close to Pittsburgh, some of my family were Steelers fans

Basketball
Who - Los Angeles Lakers
Result - NBA Champions
How long - Since 1996
Why - I was born in Los Angeles, my father was a fan, and Kobe was my favorite player back in 96 when he was a rookie

Hockey
Who - Pittsburgh Penguins
Result - Stanley Cup winners
How long - Only one year or so
Why - Only because I live near Pittsburgh...I'm not a big hockey fan...this is the only team you could consider me a bandwagon for....

Baseball

Who - New York Yankees
Result - MLB Champions
How long - Since mid-1990's
Why - My grandfather has always been a big fan

Football
Who - Chicago Bears
Result - Horse shit this year.
How long - Forever.
Why - From Chicago, the franchise has so much history as well as a ton of awesome players to go to the Hall of Fame, and they had arguably one of the best football teams ever. The '85 bears. (I don't know anyone from Chicago who doesn't own the '85 Superbowl on VHS)

Basketball
Who - Chicago Bulls
Result - gave the celtics a run for their money last year in the playoffs.
How long - Forever.
Why - They had the greatest basketball player ever along with the best team 72-10 BABY. I'll always remember never missing bulls games in the 90's.

Hockey
Who - Chicago Blackhawks
Result - Lost to Detroit in the play-offs last year.
How long - Probably since I was 6 years old.
Why - A lot of my family are huge hawks fans. I've heard a ton of stories from when they used to go to the games in the 60's and 70's.

Baseball
Who - Chicago White Sox
Result - 3rd Place AL Central
How long - Forever
Why - I used to love to watch Frank Thomas when I was a kid. 2005 is something I will never forget. Best team in post season history next to the 1999 Yankees.

well mine aint the best but ill join in to :io:
(and edit for sport reasons)

Football
Who - Minn Vikings
Result - Playoff loss last year, contenders this year :thumbsup2:
How long - Since ive been watching NFL as a kid
Why - Uncle was always a fan, and i grew up loving Moss at marshall (grand dad went there so always watched the games) so he has always been my fav player, loved watching him as a kid (still do)

Basketball
Who - T Wolves
Result - ....dont want to talk about it
How long - early 2000s
Why - Not quite sure really, never had a favorite team (this would be the closest to one), KG is my favorite player and i just started liking the team. (Also my nickname when i was the kid was the wolf, so naturally i had to like a team with my name :food-snacking:)

College football :)icon_ninja:)
Who - WVU Mountaineers
Result - Beat UNC in mid level bowl, hopefully going to step it up here soon
How long - Since birth
Why - Just about my whole family went there, and most born in the state. Grew up watching the games before i even knew what football was.

Baseball
Who - Seattle Mariners
Result - 3rd in AL West
How long - As long as i can remember
Why - My uncle and aunt live in seattle and whenever we visit them they would always take us to a mariners game. Grew up watching Jr in the kingdom, and watching him on tv every game when we were there. Now im a suffering fan, hoping for miracles from King Felix and Ichiro

Football
Who - Philadelphia Eagles
Result - Playoffs?!
How long - Only 2004
Why - I've always loved football, but never really had my own team. After attending PSU's main campus - which is virtually deadlocked between Eagles and Steelers fans, a side had to be taken. Based on my friends, family, and the team itself, Philly was the easy choice. That, and I'm an eastern PAer.

Basketball
Who - The NBA sucks

Hockey
Who - Philadelphia Flyers
Result - Lost to Pittsburgh in playoffs?!
How long - 1991 or so
Why - Hockey was always popular amongst my family and my dad was a fan. That and, again, the eastern PA thing. I follow the sport much more closely now than I did when I was younger.

Baseball
Who - Atlanta Braves
Result - Missed Playoffs
How long - 1991-2
Why - Unlike hockey, baseball didn't get too much exposure in my family and, despite it being my favorite sport, I had to discover it on my own. I liked watching TBS at the time, which the Bravos played on at the time, and just sort of fell into watching them. I eventually came to love the organization in full.

Football
Who - For the past 4 years the Colts, prior to that it was the Steelers or Vikings when I was growing up.
Result - eliminated in playoffs
How long - 2005
Why - I really like Peyton Manning and that drew my attention to them. I like college football better so I have many NFL teams I like and teams I don't like. If I had to pick my favorite I guess it would be the Colts overall... barely.

Basketball
Who - Phoenix Suns!!!
Result - shitty season and early elimination in playoffs
How long - 2005
Why - My roommate got me into Basketball and the Suns were his favorite team and it carried over to me. I love the Suns and watching Steve Nash.

Hockey
Who - The NHL sucks, but I live in a desert.. can you blame me?


Baseball

Who - White Sox
Result - I dunno, baseball is boring. They didn't do as well as a few years prior I know that.
How long - Since the early 90's
Why - Starting when I was 8 I would save up my allowance and blow it on Frank Thomas cards and memorabilia. I liked Baseball back then and he was my all time favorite player. Big Hurt Baby!!
