NBA: Memphis Grizzlies. Same as you they are probably my favorite sports team to follow. I live in Memphis and just love everything about this team. The roster is full of extremely likable players and they play a style of basketball that is hard to dislike. The "Grit Grind" mantra of the team is way I love to see basketball played.

I probably watch 90% of their games, even if I have to stream it through a crappy video.

I do this as well way too often

NFL: Tennessee Titans: They are the other local team. When I really started to watch football was when they had Steve McNair and Eddie George. They were awesome back then.

NCAA FB: Alabama Crimson Tide: I never really grew up with any rooting interest in college football. No one really cared about it where I grew up in Kentucky. I didn't really become a fan until we took a trip down to Tuscaloosa for a basketball tournament one summer. I fell in love with the campus and decided it was where I wanted to go to college. I was firmly on the bandwagon when Saban crushed Tennessee (my most hated team) his first year.

NCAA BB: Kentucky basketball was the first team I ever cheered for growing up. It was impossible not to. My mom and both of her parents went to school there. When Kentucky was playing either they would be at our house or we would be at theirs. It was all I really knew sports wise until I was a teenager. Alabama is now number 1 for me, but I will still cheer for Kentucky unless we are playing each other.
