Name Your Game
Ok, in the English Premier League thread, DeltaSigStan made the following comment:

BTW, I only say this because I am a Avalanche, Laker and Patriot fan, and at one point, all three teams held the major championship of their league. BUT I LIKED THEM BEFORE THEN!!!!

That post got me to thinking. It bothers me how people will jump on the bandwagon when a team starts to do well. Or, similarly, it also bothers me when haters accuse long-time fans of jumping on the bandwagon when they have been supporters all along.
So, since Stan is listing, lets all share as well. The good, the bad and the ugly....list all of your favorite teams good or not!
Kelly/Navane supports:
American Football:
* San Diego Chargers
* Any team which plays against the Raiders (heh).
* USC Trojans
Baseball:
*San Diego Padres
*Anaheim Angels (I lived in Long Beach for 7 years. There was NO WAY I was going to root for the Dodgers. Since I thought it would be nice to also support a more "local" team, I liked the Angels. I was so happy for them when they won the Series!)
Rubgy:
* England National Team
* Any local English team in the West Country! (esp. Bristol, Bath and Glos. - it's all good!)
* I always support England, but I do think the All Blacks are pretty cool.
English Football:
* Liverpool FC
* Bristol City FC
* Wimbledon AFC (no, not Milton Keynes!)
MLS Soccer:
* LA Galaxy
World Cup Football:
* USA National Team
* England National Team
* Poland National Team
* USA Women's National Team
Noticibly absent are any listings for basketball and hockey - I don't care for either sport. At my house, the others support the Lakers for basketball and the San Diego Gulls for hockey. Though, I only watch if I'm forced to or if it's a championship match.
Your turn!
.....Kelly

BASEBALL: Yankees (like Arya, I was there during the Steve Balboni, Andy Hawkins era. I've been a fan from the bad times to the good, Don Mattingly is still my favorite all-time athlete, and anyone who thinks I'm a bandwagon-jumper doesn't know what they're talking about)
FOOTBALL: Giants. I became a fan during the LT and Phil Simms years, and have stuck with them, through bad and good.
COLLEGE SPORTS: UConn. I'm a HUGE UConn basketball fan (since the Cliff Robinson days), and follow their other teams too, even if I'm a Boston U. alum.
BASKETBALL: Knicks fan, even if they suck now.
HOCKEY: Loved the Whalers...now I follow a few teams, but never the way I followed the Whale.

Re: Name Your Game
American Football:
* Nebraska Cornhuskers
* Kansas City Cheifs (but I've stopped following the NFL so closely sinc e getting to college)
Baseball:
*Nebraska Cornhuskers (gotta support the ole' U)
*Kansas City Royals, but I'll be honest the only reason I'm still paying attention is because they're in first place. I dont' think this is bandwagonish b/c I'll watch during April, and usually by that point they are out of it. Watch out for next year though too.
*Whoever is playing the Colorado Buffalos
English Football:
* Arsenal but I haven't payed close attention for a couple years.
MLS Soccer:
* Kansas City Wizards
World Cup Football:
* USA National Team
* Croatian National Team
* USA Youth National Teams during Youth World Cups...how about them U-17's right now???
College Basketball
*Anyone who's playing Kansas, unless it's UT or Colorado
I can't stand the NBA, and I only pay attention to the NHL in the playoffs, and I'll usually pick a team at the beginning to root for since that makes it more fun. This past season it was Ottawa, and I think I may make them my semi-permanent favorite team.

The only team/sport to which I am completely loyal is Detroit Red Wings Hockey. I have been following them since '93...way before they won their three Stanley Cups.

The only sport I really enjoy is baseball, and I'm a BOSTON RED SOX fan through and through.
I guess football I'd say the NE Patriots...or the Minnesota Vikings.
I'm not a faithful follower of much else...
