Sports fan? Who is your team no matter what? Show your team colors!

I went to grad school in Philadelphia, and had a good friend and roommate named Danny who was a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. I didn't pay much attention to sports at the time. A couple of years after we graduated, Danny was killed by a drunk driver at age 27, with the whole world in front of him. Since then, I root for the Eagles, because Danny roots for the Eagles.

Team Peegoo.

The only one I ever root for. And I'm the biggest fan.

And Brentford F.C., even if they are just a bus stop in Hounslow (it's likely only Brentford and QPR fans will get that reference).

 

[Nubs]

I'm pretty embarrassed to say, but the Flyers are my team. They're really crappin' it up lately, losing now 12 in a row.

Someday they'll be good again.

Why does your Green Bay Packers stuff have red on it?

My G resides in the sunny south. Gets a lot of sun. Also, cheese free diet.

Even though I'm a Sun Devil, I can appreciate these two as my Grandfather was a 40 year Cal professor and my Aunt/Uncle and cousins who all reside in Davis.

fun fact. Davis was, at one time, part of Cal.

I unfortunately feel like I no longer have a team or colors.

I was born and raised a Cleveland Indians fan and from 1970 until the announcement of the name change I stuck with them through thick and thin. Even when they broke my heart and moved from the largest stadium in baseball to Jacobs Field.
When they decided to build the new ballpark I knew wouldn’t be able to get tickets for games as easily as you could at cavernous Municipal Stadium. So, I got a job ushering and never missed a game from mid 1991 through 1996. My mother also shared this passion and now resides in an urn emblazoned with Chief WaHoo.

Anyway here’s some of my momentous that I’ll always hold close to my heart…

 

[televillian]

Well I grew up a true blue Toronto Maple leaf fan...was a little wee lad when they last won the cup...and of course I have buddies to remind how long ago that was with the likes of these kind of texts...

We live in Northern Virginia ( I'm from here, b.1958) and are across-the-board DC-Area teams fans. So :

-The ' WTF?!- WFT Washington Football Team ( former Redskins)- living under the 'curse of Danny'- 20 years of mismanagement misery
- The Nats
- The Caps
And, believe it or not, we actually love the 'always mediocre' Wizards. Watch every game on TV since the Bullets days, always optimistic- got ' No Expectations ' ( to quote Mick) but love them!

Ok, responding to my above " I love the Wizards!" post.

The Wizards JUST LOST to the Clippers after going up by over 30 points in the first half.

After watching the lead gradually dissapear in the 2nd half, the Wizards did the following :
- they were up by 3 pts, with seconds left in regulation, and got the ball
- they botched their last possession, with a 5-second violation on the inbounds pass....a turnover!

The Clippers shoot a 3-pointer to tie game force OT. BUT the Wizards actually foul on the 3-pointer. Clippers shoot a free throw, win by 1 point!

***worst Wizards loss, ever! Really! ( this defines 'epic fail)
This sucked, so bad!!!!!!
