I'm really just talking pro sports teams. I read various sites for the info on teams and upcoming games but I constantly see either people hating or complaining about teams that spend too much money or seem to have it too good. Or they complain about their team's owner or stupid GM unwilling to make a trade or a major signing. Or they hate the cost of concessions or lack of food choices. Or they don't lke their teams uniforms and wish they would change. You get the picture. It might just be the way certain people are these days...upset, bitch and complain about everything.

Is there any pro fan of any team just plain happy or content the way things are with their particular team?

I essentially root for three teams in pro sports: the Ravens in the NFL, the Flames in the NHL, and the O's in MLB.

I'm thrilled with the way the Ravens are run. Almost no complaints.

I'm very happy with the Flames season so far, though I am worried that they are unable to make a deadline deal due to the lack of cap space. Minor quibble.

The Orioles are a depressing team and I hope Angelos gets hit by a bus. But the for the first time in a long time, I have some hope for the future. I'm not happy, but I'm not pissed anymore as we reached rock bottom awhile ago and are slowly improving.

cowboys - does this really need to be answered

braves - meh, either or really. the severely dropped the ball this offseason, but did salvage something at the end.

hornets - while they are a great team, they could have been so much better if bower wasnt a penny pinching tightass

Not really

Rockets - Tired of T-Mac and the underachieving from the past 5 years.

Astros - Shitty owner and management who won't spend the extra money to push the team over the top. This has always been the case. Plus Drayton ran a great GM off in Hunsicker (who went on to help build the Rays).

Texans - When have they ever signed a big time free agent? Anthony Weaver and Robaire Smith don't count. Get another playmaker opposite of Mario Williams or for the secondary, otherwise the playoffs are a pipe dream.

I'll be thrilled when their pitching breaks down again and they fail to win the World Series. I'll admit it: rooting against the Yankees is gonna be more fun than ever this season.
