Chargers/Suns Grew up a fan of both from a young age. Overall I watch a ton of NFL because every game is more meaningful, so it just seems like the regular season stakes are higher, so when the Chargers lose a regular season game, it hurts more than the Suns losing a regular season game.

AZ Cardinals - Became a secondary fan of them when they moved to Phoenix, those it was hard to be a fan for many years

AZ Wildcats - If it was just basketball, they'd be right up there with Cardinals. But add in football (not a big fan of NCAA football, then it lowers their overall ranking). It was nice seeing them almost win the College World Series this year though, after winning it all a few years ago.

Diamondbacks/Coyotes - But I barely, if at all follow these teams any more.

BW, You can't be a fan of the Chargers & Cards. You have to choose one! :P JK

1.Alabama Football- haven't been a fan forever but have a family member who works for them.
2.Indianapolis Colts- my hometown football team. been a fan since I was a little kid.
3.Hamilton Tiger Cats (CFL) - only pro sports team in the city I currently live in. And I'm a big CFL nerd.
4.Buffalo Sabres- Met Dominik Hasek when I was younger, my family had the same lawyer , used to get tickets behind the net all the time.
5.Nuggets/Raptors- I bandwagon with my NBA teams- usually follow teams who drafted players I liked in college This year I'm a Nuggets fan cause of Jamal Murray. But I've been a consistent Raps fan due to their close proximity to my home.

1. Cleveland Browns (fan since 1999) - I liked the Browns in the early 90's but I hardly followed them. When the new expansion Browns came I was die-hard.

Ouch. I feel your pain.

1. Penn State (mostly football, but basketball, hockey, and women's volleyball are all big too and I'll follow anything PSU related)
2. Thunder
3. Flyers/Giants
4. Giants/Flyers
5. Phillies

Though there's a huge drop from 1-2 and 4-5. The middle 3 are all tight.

1. Houston Rockets - I will always bleed Rockets red & gold
2. Houston Astros - Loved them since I was a kid and they are on the cusp of something special
3. Houston Texans - I didn't watch the NFL from the time the Oilers left and the Texans were founded
4. Houston Cougars - Coach Herman is one of the most exciting people I've ever met in sports
5. Houston Dynamo - They're my city...but I'm not the biggest soccer fan.

1. Tie between Toronto Raptors, Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays. I grew up watching all of these teams from the 1980s (in the case of the Leafs and Jays) and the 2000s (in the case of the Raptors). I got into the Raptors because of Vince Carter, not because I was from Toronto.
2. New York Knicks. The 98-99 team got me into the NBA. The upset victory over the Heat sealed it. I've been following them since, although less now than 10 years ago.
3. Vancouver Canucks. The local hockey team now.
I acknowledge and thank the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples of the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations for allowing me to live, work and play on their unceded traditional territories. I also acknowledge the Métis Charter Community of Victoria.

It's that little bit of hope that makes it that much more emotionally devastating.

2. San Francisco 49ers
3. Appalachian State Mountaineers (would move up if they made noise in college football)
4. North Carolina Tar Heels
5. Detroit Red Wings
6. Seattle Mariners

Been a fan of 1-5 my entire life. for baseball I just rooted for whichever team Ken Griffey Jr. was on, but I'll be a Mariner fan the rest of my life.


You hate the NBA but are a member of a basketball forum with 8k+ posts? You do realize that the word hate means you really, really, really dislike something, right?

My ranking:
1. Wolves
2. Vikings
3. Wild
4. Twins
