Dad use to drive me down to Miami every Sunday from New Orleans to catch the Heat in action. I thank my dad everyday for that. Now we got King James and we take the jet on Wednesday to watch him courtside.

Drove to Miami every Sunday from Nola?

So u would leave on Friday, get back to Nola on Tuesday. And 3 days later do it all over again?

That God damn liar.

tennessee vols- went in vacations there as a kid 3-4 times a year. Long before the titans were there..the whole state lived and breathed big orange football, just got caught up in it and been a fan since as long as i remember

colts- started watching them at 14 when peyton was drafted and been a fan since and still am "not a bronco fan bc he is there now" even going to watch indy @ titans on a thur night game this yr

mariners-ken griffey jr.. enough said

nba- i dont pull for any team, i just enjoy good talent. was a huge mj fan, and now a big lebron fan.

Boston bruins- got back into hockey while they were making their run a couple years back.

Arizona Diamondbacks - loved the big unit growing up

Eagles - I lived in Philly when I was 2 years old to when I was six years old. Have just always been a fan.

since i dont really consider myself living in texas, im just passing through:

texas a&m: current student
rams: from my family in LA who were still fans
colts: saw them back in 1999 when i was 6 and i liked the horseshoe on their helmet. been following both them and the rams since

Ellunchbox, send me the cards. I can get them signed for you.

I am a Cubs can because when we first got cable WGN was on and I enjoyed watching them my h more than the Braves. Took my first trip to Wrigley in 1983 and have typically gone once a year since to catch a couple of games.

Also a Red Sox fan, I guess from watching them on the network game of the week and I was a big fan of Cartlon Fisk, And my dad loved Ted Williams.

My dad loved the San Fran Giants when Will Clark was there and he was at the earthquake game. He then became a Rangers can when Will played for them

Heat. 2011 when they got good.

Blackhawks. 2013 when were on that huge win streak

49ers. Even though they lost they seem primed for a run

Giants. 2 WS championships in 3 years locked me up

Florida Marlins because I spent my summers in Florida and I went to their inaugural game in 1993. Loved me some Gary Sheffield, Jeff Conine, Chuck Carr, etc. Ended up going to high school/undergrad in Florida. Disowned the franchise when they became the Miami Marlins (hate the city of Miami and ownership, well, you guys know).

Never had a dog in the fight when it came to the NBA until I moved to Louisiana for grad school. Hornets/Pelicans because i love NOLA and I'm a big fan of CP3. I liked the Heat when I was little because of Alonzo Morning, but I wouldn't have categorized myself as a fan, again, because I hate the city.

NFL, don't really care one way or the other. I root for players, not teams.

MLS, Portland Timbers because of how awesome their games are. No MLS franchises in Florida, Louisiana, or Hawai'i so I kind of cherrypicked that one based on the teams I've watched in person.

CFB, LSU. I graduated from there and there is no place on earth like saturday night in Death Valley.

Vancouver Canucks- Pavel Bure

49ers- Jerry Rice and my intense hatred for the Cowboys back in the 90s when their rivalry was big.

LSU- Just remember watching them in the mid/late 90's and being excited whenever they came on TV.

Oakland A's- Todd Van Poppel. Remember having his rookie card thinking it would be worth something later in the future. That dude really shite the bed.
