Cubs-wgn put that curse upon me.

Bills-first football game I can remember watching and cheering was the comeback vs the oilers. Was hooked. Moved to upstate new york from 18-23 and loved attending bills games. Very college like (even the talent on field)and still try to get up there for game every few seasons.

Sabres-got into them pretty hard when lived up there but now just casual.

I carry a couple of his baseball cards in my truck with me just in case I see him so he can sign them.

Cubs games came on after Darkwing Duck on WGN. That's how I became a Cubs fan.

Braves - when I was in 4th grade one of my best friends was a huge braves fan because his family was from there. I started watching on TBS and I was hooked.

Was a baseball fan before that. I loved playing T-ball and baseball for the YMCA...when I was 5-6 years old I would tune in to WGN to watch He-Man but sometimes a cubs game was on instead and I would still watch. Still have a soft spot for cubs to this day.

Miami Marlins. Dad was born in Cuba, and most of his family live in Miami, so I grew up with the Marlins and going to games every summer when we visited.

I am not a Heat or Dolphins fan though. Pels and Saints die hard.

"I'm allowed to cheer for the Knicks because my father's neighbor's ex wife was from New York."

Who gives a shite why you pull for a team?

Well the Patriots and Red Sox were winning championships, so I just picked them.

I'm not originally from the area, I just jumped on the bandwagon.

OH shite, DON'T TELL WEEBIE.

Go check out that thread where Weebie spent half the night "calling out" bandwagon fans.

Evidently he cares for some reason. I can understand it getting aggravating when your team is bandwagon deu jeur, because frick Pink Hats, but I don't care about it for other teams.

From Miami and live in BR now.
Bball: Heat - always been a fan as they're right down the road.
Baseball: Yankee's - i loved Jeter as a child and wanted to be just like him. Always went to the games when I could and visited their pre season practice park.
Football: Rams - No idea - Just remember Faulk killing it and they had great receivers too.
NHL: Panthers because FL and the Canadiens due to family ties with the team.
CFB: Tiger fan since forever.

Well if it's any consolation I'm pretty sure it was forced on me then. Although they're still in the rotation

NFL: It varies from season to season, solely based on who has the most LSU players.

MLB: Cubs, because the Cubs and Braves were the only teams we could get on cable when I was a youngin. Everybody else was an ATL fan, and I'm not a bandwagon jumper, so I pulled for the Cubs. Also Cards, because that's my GF's team. She likes the Yankees too, but there are lines I won't cross, even for love

I don't follow any other pro sports.
