Which sports teams will you NEVER cheer for????

[joeybee12]

For me, it's the Yankees. Even in 2001 when everyone was saying New York needed a lift after 9-11, I couldn't do it. Rationally, I saw their point, but I still couldn't cheer for the Yankees, even though I had no feelings about Arizona one way or another.

In football, it's the Raiders, no matter who they're playing. I also never cheer for the Cowboys. I used to like them until Jimmy Johnson took over.

[VermontDem2004]

1. 1st and foremost, Arizona Wildcats

Dallas Cowboys and the team that has to lose for Denver to move ahead in the division which right now is the Chiefs, in basketball definately the Knicks.

[ChompySnack]

2. Lakers

[Emboldened Chimp]

61. Second that

I hate the team and their fans, especially after they trashed downtown after their first title with Kobe/Shaq.

[Guaranteed]

107. I HATE the Lakers

I don't hate any other sports teams. I have strong dislikes for the Packers and Cowboys and Yankees. But I swear I fucking HATE the Lakers. They are SCUM and I spit in their face!

[nini]

121. real Laker fans didn't condone what those idiots did downtown

you can't blame ALL Laker fans for those dumbasses that think destroying things is how to celebrate.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Absolutely the Bears, and any other Illinois team,

and will never root for a Michigan team.

[Catshrink]

179. Ouch!!

Not even the Cubs????

[joeybee12]

181. Hooray--another post!

I'm gonna will this thread to 200!

[Skittles]

4. Dallas Cowboys

sickening

[VermontDem2004]

5. sickening?

[Skittles]

170. yes, sickening

glossy, overrated, cheesy, disgusting: "sickening"

[Lefty48197]

20. America's team my ass

Hate the cowboys always will

[Guaranteed]

109. Back in 81

After "The Catch" Montana told em they could stay home and watch the Super Bowl with the rest of America.

[Ishoutandscream]

165. And in 71, 92, and 93

The Cowboys did the same to the 9ers.

Oh, and did you know the Cowboys are 5 and 2 in playoff games against the 9ers. But I seem to forget that 9er fans didn't start existing until 1981.

[joeybee12]

166. That's right--they weren't a team until Joe Montana came along!

[Ishoutandscream]

167. You're right! Ask a 49er "fan" who quarterbacked before him

Not many could tell you. I can tell you one who was a damn good one, and his name was John Brodie. Never could get past the Cowboys though.

I forgot to mention that Dallas defeated the 9ers also in the 70 championship game, along with a divisional playoff game in 73.

5 and 2.

[joeybee12]

169. Yeah, Joe Montana kind of made the team

My parents became 49'er fans because of Joe Montana--they live in CT and should be cheering for the Giants or Patriots!

[joeybee12]

188. Some people still think they are!

I sure as hell don't, though.

[Zero Gravitas]

94. The Cowboys

and whoever is challenging the Chiefs for the AFC West which would be... no-one right now HA HA HA HA HA HA!

and the Denver Broncos... Thpt!

[Hawkeye-X]

131. KC Chiefs are down like a cheap whore

You're NEXT.

-Denver Broncos (wanting severe revenge)

I predict a five game losing streak effective the next game that KC plays with three injuries to key players (not gonna tell you which ones, but one of 'em is the biggest key)

[lynndew2]

153. Any three you want and we would still

KICK DENVERS ARSE!!!

[Character Assassin]

185. With the help of three clipping call that the refs neglected

On Hall's last TD return in their last game.

Relying on officiating to win is the mark of a bunch of lame-ass players.

[joeybee12]

186. Go-go--get it out of your system--post some more!

I want this thread to reach 200!

[JohnKleeb]

6. Yankees and the Cowboys And I guess the Bulls in the past

now its the Lakers

[VermontDem2004]

8. You hate NBA Teams who win?

I didn't like the Bulls just because I am a Pacers fan, the Pacers and Bulls played in some close tough games, I remember when the Bulls went on to win (I think) it was their most recent championship, they beat the Pacers 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Championship, the Bulls won 4 games at home and the Pacers won 3 games at home, just to show you that home court advantage is not overrated.

[JohnKleeb]

13. Yeah kinda

because they seemed to win no matter what, and on the lakers, I just dont like Shaq

[Meshuga]

33. The media hype...

Makes the winning teams not very likeable. I understand the hatred for the teams who win. :-)

[Wickerman]

127. Cowboys and Lakers

add in the Yankees, too. Hate teams with little soul and a large payroll - have to agree with your choices JK.

[BringEmOn]

130. Yankees

[Padraig18]

7. Dallas Cowboys. n/t

[kanrok]

9. Cubs

No way.

[VermontDem2004]

10. Go Packers!

*ducks*

[kanrok]

11. oops....almost forgot about the Packers

[Catshrink]

180. I second that! No Pack No!

[joeybee12]

187. I sort of like the Packers, too

Mainly because of Bret Favre--I love the way Ben Stiller tried to pronounce his name in There's Something About Mary.

[MaineDem]

12. Yankees and Holy Cross

It's in my genes that I be a Red Sox and a Boston College fan! I have no control over it. ;)

[joeybee12]

14. Hey, but is Holy Cross ever any good in anything?????

I'm from CT, don't remember HC ever having a good team in any sports--almost seems like you don't have to NOT cheer for them!

[MaineDem]

16. Back when they "had" a football team

The BC-Cross game was always a big event!

[progressivejazz]

128. Well, the not-so-good Holy Cross men's basketball team

beat BC the only time they met last year. Not any good, but good enough to beat BC. What does that make BC?

And to answer your question: "Hey, but is Holy Cross ever any good in anything?????" They seem to be pretty good at having their athletes actually graduate from the college. This alone distinguishes them from the lowly BC eagles.

Any bets on this year's men's basketball game? Before you commit anything, check out how many BC players have left the team and the school.

Go, Cross, Go!

[VermontDem2004]

15. Notre Dame won!!!

Wait a minute, they didn't. Congrats to BC.

[joeybee12]

17. Hey, I went to ND!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised it was even close--the powers that be at ND have basically dismantled the football program.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. So did my Brother-In-Law. What Year did you graduate?

I'm a BC Eagles fan, BTW.

[joeybee12]

24. Hey, you're still trying to get me to tell how old I am!!!!!!!

It won't work--let's just say that when I went there, football was actually a sport!!!!!!!!!!

[MaineDem]

19. I thought I missed something

:evilgrin:

I bet President Bartlet is upset. :)

[eauclaireliberal]

18. The Vikings

I don't root for them Vikes, doncha know.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

21. Yankees, LA Lakers and Dallas Cowboys

[Caution]

26. I'll second this and add the Montreal Canadiens

[Kathy in Cambridge]

116. I forgot about them-and I agree, as a Bruins fan!

:-)

[VolcanoJen]

23. U of Michigan football; the freaking Cleveland Browns.

So, nyaaaah.

:P

[JVS]

25. Notre Dame, Cowboys, Browns, or any Southern football team.

Southern does not include Cali, but I'll also never root for the 49ers

[VermontDem2004]

27. Do you hate the Arizona State Sun Devils?

*crosses fingers*

[JVS]

51. I don't know who/what they are, but I'll never root for them

g

[VermontDem2004]

103. You asshole! (j/k)

How do you not know who Arizona State is? The Steeler's tackle Marvel Smith came from Arizona State, yet you don't know who Arizona State is? :shrug:

[JVS]

124. There are about a billion college teams out there

I feel no obligation to keep track. One is from the big ten or the big east, or one is from the "outside". Smith would qualify as someone from the "outside"

[VermontDem2004]

132. Arizona State is division 1-A football, same as Notre Dame

They are in the same conference as USC, Arizona, UCLA, Standford, Cal, Oregon State, Oregon, Washington State, and Washington the Pac-10 conference, they were almost national champs in 1997. Everyone with some awareness in college football has heard of Arizona State.

[JVS]

134. Heard of them yes, give a shit, no.

They are thousands of miles away, I don't follow the pac-10

[VermontDem2004]

136. I didn't ask you if you gave a shit

You said you didn't know who they are, I just pointed out they are a team that does exsist and I am surprised you don't know them and you are a college football fan. You said you were a Notre Dame fan? Well ASU and Notre Dame played each two times once in 1998 and 1999 or was it (1999 and 2000).

[JVS]

137. Notre Dame is one of the teams I hate most

Fuck them! Those disgusting bastards! It was on the list of teams I'd never root for. I guess I'll have to change my policy, in a contest between a team I hate, and one whose presence is barely noted, I guess I'd have to root for the team I barely notice, hence I would be rooting for the Sun Devils, or more probably I'd pay attention to something other than a game I don't give a fuck about. Maybe I'd spend the afternoon enjoying a bowel movement or something equally fascinating.

[joeybee12]

138. But I went there, so how is that possible?????

[JVS]

141. I resent the stereotyping of the Irish

[joeybee12]

194. I don't get it

[joeybee12]

189. Why do you include Southern AND Notre Dame

Usually teams from the south hate ND, and vice versa.

[pasadenaboy]

28. I hate the USC Trojans

GO BRUINS

[VermontDem2004]

29. ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

:mad: :nuke: :mad: :argh: :argh: :mad: :nuke: :grr: :grr:

Arizona State fan here :hi:

[baby_bear]

34. Yes, pasadenaboy

I was a venicegirl when I was also a Bruin....of course once a Bruin, always a Bruin!

s_m

[ronnykmarshall]

114. I hear ya!

UCLA!!! I've always been a Bruin fan!

[joeybee12]

200. I used to cheer for USC over UCLA--now I dont' care

USC is just toooooooooo Hollywood.

[pansypoo53219]

30. only team?

the dallas cowpies

[joeybee12]

31. No,you can choose more than one team

Most people posting have!

[Meshuga]

32. Any hockey fans?

Hockey: I'm a die hard Devils fan (watched every game last season).
I hate and would never cheer for the Rangers, Flyers, and Leafs...

Football: I'm a die hard Giants fan, and I'm getting sick of Fassel.
I hate and would never cheer for the Redskins, Cowboys and Eagles!!! I'm sure you understand why... I also share the dislike for the Raiders because of their fans. I used to go to sports bar and they took themselves too seriously. at least it's easy to mess with them. :-)

[VermontDem2004]

35. Let's go Coyotes clap clap clap clap clap

Coyotes fan here, we are 3-3-1 but we started 3-0. :evilfrown:

[Meshuga]

37. I don't mind the west teams...

The teams in the western conference look good now.

The Devils are 2-3-2-0. It's a pretty poor start but they usually start like this.

They are playing well and that is what keeps me from bashing them now. :-)

[TheZoo]

36. All the "Winners"

The Yankees - I'm a Mets fan; if I remember correctly, the Mets did a lot more for NYC than the Yankees did, such as Shea being used for NY Emergency services.

The Dallas Cowboys & San Francisco 49ers. Especially since I am a long suffering Giants fan. My two biggest thrills in the 1980's / early 90's was when the G-men upset the Cowboys 38-35 in 1980, and when they beat the 49ers 15-12 in the NFC Championship.

Philadelphia Eagles. If I hear "Miracle at the Meadowlands" once more, I'll scream.

LA Lakers. 'Nuff said :-)

Chicago Bulls. Or any team that Michael Jordan plays for; don't get me wrong, I love to watch the guy on the court.

Colorado Avs / Phoenix Coyotes / Dallas Stars. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Quebec Nords, Winnepeg Jets and Minnesota North Stars.

[Meshuga]

38. The hockey teams you like tend to move elsewhere...

You better not like the Devils! Please! :-)

[TheZoo]

59. You mean the...

ORIGINAL Colorado Rockies?


I liked them until they become the $)(*Y%$T&Y New Jerey Devils.

Sorry :evilfrown:

[devilgrrl]

85. You mean the original Kansas City Scouts!!!

Then they became the Colorado Rockies, then the Devils.



Anyway, I'll never route for The Flyers, Rangers or the Leafs.

[joeybee12]

40. Hey, I still have that 15-12 win on tape!

Might watch it today since this season is a bust!!!!!!!!!

[Meshuga]

43. I'm also a suffering Giants fan...

I have the SI 1990 season tape. I watch the highlights... NFC final was the best! LT stripped the ball and gave Matt Bahr a chance to give us the win! That game marked the end of the Joe Montana era! Go Leonard Marshall!

[joeybee12]

191. I also have both Super Bowls on tape

The '91 game still gives me goose bumps when I watch the final few minutes EVEN though I know the outcome!!!!!!!!!!

[TheZoo]

81. Me too!

I just watched it today.

Oh, to have that kid from Moorehead as our QB

[joeybee12]

192. I have a feeling that highlights tapes are all we have to

look forward to this year!

[Braden]

39. Manchester United

never,ever, ever.

Arsenal on the other hand...

[Meshuga]

42. I hate every premier league team...

:-) I'm just kidding. I like the English premier league. I hate every Serie A team.

[RogueTrooper]

104. Don't forget Totenham Hotspur

wankers.

meanwhile....

http://www.zdf.de/ZDFheute/img/21/0,1369,38389,00.jpg

[Braden]

143. Tottenham Tottenham

we're really rocken 'em!

did you see the little situation with the Turks?

[joeybee12]

195. Hey, just that name makes me want to not root for them!

[amber dog democrat]

41. Cowboys

and the UT Longhorns

[Darranar]

44. The Yankees. n/t

[Darranar]

45. The Yankees. n/t

[alwynsw]

46. Never for any team that's playing Kentucky (basketball)

[joeybee12]

193. Actually, I don't loathe Kentucky

But it warms my heart when they lose. Sorry!

[LWolf]

47. Any baseball, hockey, basketball, or soccer team.

I'm not much of a sports fan. I don't dislike them, and have been to a couple of baseball games, but I don't really enjoy them either, so I don't cheer.

The exception to the rule for me is football. I guess because I saw quite a bit of live football as a kid...it's wired in. I don't cheer as much as most folks, but I still kinda follow it.

Now, I know why most folks don't cheer for the 'Boys; I fully understand. But since they are the team that introduced me to football, I still cheer. Sometimes.

The summer of 1971, we moved to Thousand Oaks and my mother's then boyfriend took us to see the cowboys scrimmaging in summer camp. We sat on the sidelines and watched for hours, as the boyfriend tried to explain the game to us. A man right behind us kept screaming, "Go, Charlie! Knock his balls off, Charlie!" (Charlie Waters) And other pithier remarks. My mother kept blushing and glancing at me to see if I was "noticing" the language. I was sold.

Then, that fall, a friend of the boyfriend had a huge party at his house to watch the 'boys play the rams...I was the only kid there. They were all sure that the rams would wipe them out. They all bet me a quarter. Every last one of them. I went home with 37 quarters. I was sold even further.

Later down the line, I married a rams fan. In those days, I can only remember one time that the boys lost to the rams...a freak billy waddy catch, and the rams went to the bowl that year.

I don't like Jerry Jones. I despised Jimmy Johnson. I haven't watched much, but have enjoyed watching Parcells bring back a little dignity.

So this year, I'm cheering for them again.

And the original question? I never, ever cheer for:

The Redskins
The Eagles
The Rams

Go figure.

[joeybee12]

197. So, if one of the Dem candidates told you he/she was going to knock

off Dumbo's balls, you'd vote for him?

You'd probably write him a large check as well!

For college football and basketball, i primarily pull for schools from Virginia, since that's where I'm from, and the University of Kansas, where I went to grad school...I do pull for other teams, but usually the fortunes of teams I pull for are somehow related to or playing against the teams listed above.

[joeybee12]

49. Good Lord!

That's all I've got to say about that list!!!!!!!!!!

[JVS]

53. Why the Pitt Panthers?

why do you hate them, when you like the Penguins and sometimes the Steelers?

[Blue_Tires]

56. pitt

beat Herchel Walker and Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, and Virginia Tech last year

[PittPoliSci]

79. i can understand why its hard to like the Steelers

I really hate them as of late...as for the penguins, I don't care how bad they suck i'll always love them.

[Wickerman]

129. To save time next time this posted

just list the team you like.

:D

[jumptheshadow]

50. Dallas Cowboys rank first

I dislike everything about them.

Anybody playing the Buffalo Bills rank next. I generally root for NFL rustbelt teams over Sunbelt teams.

I used to like the Jets when I was younger but then Mark Gastineau came along and I started disliking them.

In college:

Oklahoma
Any of the Texas teams with the exception of the Aggies who I can tolerate

In horseracing:

The trainer D. Wayne Lukas. I always root against him.

Similarly, I always rooted against any team coached by Bobby Knight.

[Woodstock]

52. The Yankees, who also happen to, by the way,

SUCK!!!

[joeybee12]

57. Well, we all know that!!!!!!!!!

I think the Yankee fans have to wake up and realize this is the end of their run for a while--lots of old folks on the team--I think Don Zimmer is actually younger than most of the players!!!!!!!!!!

[Lady Freedom]

54. Pitt. St. Gorilla's!

NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOME DAY WE LIONS WILL WIN THE MINER"S BOWL!

GO LIONS!

[joeybee12]

199. That's right--reach for the sky!

[Twillig]

55. The Ducks

After the Oregon Ducks, I hate to the extent of never cheering:

Notre Dame, USC, Michigan, Pac-10 officiating crews, Pac-10 officiating supervisors, and the Oregon Ducks;

The Cowboys, The Packers, Da Bears, Steelers, Raiders, Dolphins, Chiefs, and the Cowboys;

The Yankees, The Dodgers. That is all.

The Lakers, the Celtics. The Sonics. Come to think of it, I don't wanna cheer the Blazers anymore either.

The Ducks.

[Zuni]

58. NY Yankees

I am a Baltimore O's fan.

[arwalden]

60. Yankees, Seminoles (FSU), Bulldogs (UGA)

[St. Jarvitude]

62. Damn Yankees!

Despite the fact that the Marlins had just finished beating the Cubs in a gut-wrenching series, I had to root for them to throw the Yankees' on their asses, and they sure did.

[joeybee12]

63. I truly believe we won't have to worry about the Yankees for a while...

...three years as favorites in the post-season, three years wothout a title. They have too many old guys!

[leftynyc]

64. NY Islanders (I'm a Ranger Fan)

New York Jets (I'm a Giant fan).

[montana_hazeleyes]

65. L.A Dodgers

S.F Giants fan here!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

66. I'd probably kill myself before I cheered for the Oklahoma Sooners...

and the Dallas Cowboys rank up there too.
Duckie

[RedEarth]

149. them are fighting word duckie...!!!!

Sounds like you might be a Poke fan. If so, the Sooners plan on taking it to the Cowboys this weekend.



Go Soooooooooooers...!!!!!!!!!!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

161. Yeah...I heard that the last two years...

And the pokes weren't nearly as good...So, I hope you're ready for a whoopin'!
Duckie

[Meshuga]

67. Flamengo

Flamengo is a soccer club from Brazil.

[Maccagirl]

68. The Michigan Wolverines

Arrogant bastards.

[msu2ba]

73. Arrogant is too kind!

When Michigan beat Purdue this weekend, they helped Michigan State by eliminating the tie at the top of the Big 10(11). I *still* couldn't bring myself to root for them.

Besides, they still whine about every time the Spartans have beaten them (not that there have been that many times in football<G>).

For all current and former members of the Spartan Marching Band, this is Muck Fichigan Week.

[sasquatch]

168. Me either GO BUCKS!!

:bounce:

[bywho4who]

69. Football's fixed like a junkie

I hate team's more because of there coach like pittsburg.

[jumptheshadow]

70. The other sports teams I don't cheer for

Any team with Bill Parcells as coach.

I also don't root for any horse owned by George Steinbrenner.

[joeybee12]

71. Then you must be thrilled with today's Tampa Bay--Dallas outcome

I like Parcells, but it's clear the Cowboys aren't for real--they can't compete with a good team yet.

[Athletic Grrl]

72. First and foremost

the New York Yankmes. The epitome of everything that's wrong with sports today.

The Denver Broncos. As a Raider fan, this is required. Same goes with the 49ers.

Between this triumverate, I hit the jackpot this weekend, getting to watch them all lose to underdogs. HAHAHAHA!

LA Lakers. See New York Yankmes.

Detroit Red Wings. See LA Lakers. These two latter teams and to a certain extent, the team from New York are generally on cruise control until the playoffs roll around.

College teams I will never root for include Stanford (Cal alum, duh) and Duke. I've followed UNC faithfully since 1977 when I fell in love with Phil Ford. Meeting him and getting a tour of the Dean Dome a few years ago was a thrill for me. I also despise Miami and USC, but can root for them if I must.

[HuckleB]

74. Never say never.

.

[joeybee12]

75. Keep this sucker going! You know you wanna vent!!!!!!!!

[absolutezero]

76. the redsocks

I was born and raised a yankees fan, i can't cheer for them unless there are special circumstances...ie they're publicly denouncuing dubya....

[joeybee12]

92. Gee, that's too bad....

...was raised in CT--neighborhood was half Red Sox, half Yankee fans.

[BurtWorm]

77. Dallas Cowboys

Because A) I hate football and B) I hate Dallas.

[Ishoutandscream]

157. Clever. You hate a team (even though you hate football)

Because you hate a city. Really classy, and very immature.

[Faygo Kid]

78. (sigh) Doesn't anybody hate the Tigers or Lions?

I guess I know why - who could hate teams regularly beaten like a drum? Especially the Lions. ONE playoff win since 1957 (Yes, that is 46 stinkin' years). By the way, down with the Wolverines and Avalanche.

[joeybee12]

89. Yeah, when you're that bad, people start liking you!!!!!!!

If either team did well, they'd have lots of fans--they'd have to become powerhouses (Hah!) for people to start dislking them!

[Capn Sunshine]

80. The Yankees. Definitely. and The Rams.

I was SUCH a Rams fan growing up; but they consistently broke my heart. My last time cheering for the was Super Bowl whatever VS the Steelers.

How I despise them ever since Georgia took over.

[rucky]

82. Yankees, Niners & Celtics n/t

[joeybee12]

198. Well, that covers a lot of territory--geographically, that is

[GoddessOfGuinness]

83. I am heartened to see the number of anti-Dallas fans...

and they aren't all from the DC area either! :-)

[Ishoutandscream]

142. Yeah, they're just jealous

because the teams they "root" for have had their asses kicked by the Cowboys.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

173. Redskins have had their asses kicked by every team in the NFL...

Big time.

It's not about ass-kicking, it's about all the "America's Team" crap and the hype about the cheerleaders.

It's pure delight watching any team whup the Cowboys. :evilgrin:

[Search Party]

84. puke alert for even typing their names...

oklahoma state cowboys

texas longhorns


ALL pro sports teams

[fortyfeetunder]

86. Definition of apathy

The outcome of a Denver Broncos-Dallas Cowboys football game.

[Scimmio]

87. any team coached by Steve Spurrier

Had to hate the Gators and now have to hate the Redskins.

[T_i_B]

88. I will never support Sheffield United

and I'm not one to cheer on Arsenal or Leeds either.

[Avatar13]

90. My s***list

NFL: Dallas Cowboys ("'murika's team my ass" indeed. Tho' the Rams are running a close 2nd, at least until they get rid of Warner and his wife)

NBA: Indy Pacers (Damn I hate that whiny Miller)

MLB: Texas Rangers (Only by the fact that * once owned them)

NHL: Dallas Stars, NY Rangers (Less so for the latter since they su-uh-uh-uh-uck)

[Loonman]

91. Yankees, Giants, Jets, Knicks, Rangers

All NY Teams.

[theemu]

93. Lakers

1. Shaquille O'Neal

2. I'm a Spurs fan.

[Beaker]

95. NOTRE DAME, Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys & any other Texas team

96. Lakers, Yankees, and Cowboys

Can't stand them.

Although I must say the Cowboys aren't as easy to hate lately as they used to be.

[joeybee12]

97. Laker Fans--why?

Is this a fairly new hatred--perhaps because of Shaq or Kobe? or is it a long-standing hatred?

[Blue_Chill]

102. It's fairly new but it's growing

It's growing because of their "we just want to win" allstar team they have this year.

[joeybee12]

106. Know lots of people who don't like them because of Kobe

even before the "incident."

[Blue_Chill]

126. Even Shaq dislikes Kobe

I guess it's difficult to get both of those over inflated egos on the same bus.

[joeybee12]

139. Shaq bugs me, but not Kobe

Not that I dislike either, but Shaq rubs me the wrong way. He seems to get away with a lot of trash talk that other people wouldn't be able to.

[VermontDem2004]

108. I hope all teams are thinking "we just want to win"

[Blue_Chill]

125. It's not the team thinking it

It's the two stars that took massive pay cuts to create a team that is supposed to be prevented by the salary cap.

Hell can you imagine if the probowlers in football got to talking in the locker room and decided that money is cool but they all want a championship so they all agreed to earn the NFL min for one year to do so?

That's crap.

[VermontDem2004]

133. That is crap?

Hell I wish players on my team did that, I find it refreshing when a player cares more about winning a championship then having the league's best salary.

[joeybee12]

98. I want this sucker to reach 100!

Just two more--keep posting!!!!

[bif]

99. Yankees and Cowboys

Actually any New York or L.A team in any league.

[neuvocat]

100. Same here.

I'll never vote for the Raiders. I just don't know why but I can never put my finger on it...

[tom_paine]

101. Dallas Cowboys

They were NEVER Amerca's Team, but always the Bushevik Team.

[Ishoutandscream]

144. Yes, and former owner Clint Murchison was in the plot to kill Kennedy!

EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! And they're all on coke. And, and, they play dirty. And, and, and, they're from Texas, and everyone from Texas is evil and ignorant.

And, and, and, they keep kicking my team's ass!!!

[tom_paine]

148. Shut yer piehole, frontrunner

Rather be loyal to my team than a pukesome bootlicking frontrunner like you.

But I suspect you are quite comfortable with bootlicking, aren't you, troll?

Gosh, who are your other favorite teams?

Yankees, perhaps, bootlicker?
LA Lakers...how do Shaq's boots taste? As good as Bunnypants* shoes?

[Ishoutandscream]

158. Fuck you, I'm no troll

And front runner, you don't know half.

Been going to Cowboy games since 1962. I have laughed, cried, and been delighted at watching one of the most successful franchises in football history.

And I'm from Dallas, asshole. So are all Cowboy fans "frontrunners?" Who the hell should I root for?

Why the hell would I root for La or New York? All I care about is how my franchises do.

On edit - it's funny you don't mention who you follow. I guess it's easier to hate someone than to be a fan of a pathetic, hapless franchise that I'm sure the Cowboys have kicked in the ass on numerous occasions. Please respond, asshole.

[Ishoutandscream]

162. Still awaiting your reply

You are able to call folks names, but can't back it up. You better get your facts straight,son, before you ever do that again!

[number six]

105. I could never support Manchester United

They're not a team, they're a franchise

[tsakshaug]

110. Yankees

Born red sox fan. Hate the Yankees. Then there are the Lakers hate them-this has been a long time, pre-showtime even, maybe when they moved to LA. Football, don't really hate anyone. Some players, not teams. Hockey, disliked the Rangers, but why bother now?
College-Notre Dame, BC, Clemson.

[DrGonzoLives]

111. Cowboys, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Lakers, Yankees, Avalanche

There you are.

[ronnykmarshall]

112. USC, Dallas Cowboys, Rams, Raiders, A's

I'm a UCLA, 49'ers, SF Giants fan!

I might root for the Dodgers, if I really hated the other team.

I may be an Angelino, but most of my teams are in the SF Bay.

[billfromwny]

113. Dolphins

They make me want to :puke:

Although the Bills made want to also last night :(

[donotpassgo]

115. Red Sox

Aren't you all bored with the Yankee hating cliche'?

[tishaLA]

117. USC, Cowboys, Celtics

Yeah, I live in LA now, but I grew up in Philadelphia.

[pmbryant]

118. For me, it seems to be the Mets.

I actually rooted for Yankees to beat them back in the 2000 World Series.

And I rooted for the Dodgers to beat them back in the 1988 NLCS (going way back).

If I choose those 2 teams, which I normally hate, over the Mets, then I must really hate the Mets.

:-)

[JackDragna]

119. The Boston Red Sox

They pretend to be this poor, put-upon team, yet their payroll is one of the highest in baseball. They try to win doing exactly the same thing those "evil" Yankees do, like hiring expensive free agents and trading away prospects for veteran players. They fire their managers despite usually finishing with good records. I wouldn't say I'd never root for them, but I certainly have no sympathy for them or their fans.

[ArkDem]

120. Boston Red Sox

Dallas Cowboys

[Nazgul35]

122. The US olympic basket ball team (mens)

as long as pro athletes continue to compete in olympic sports...i'll cheer for the team from Uganda every time....

the olympics are supposed to be for amatuer athletes....and the US Dream Team represents everything that has gone wrong with the olympics!!!

[JackDragna]

123. That's a bit of a red herring..

..other nations have always sent their professional basketball players to the Olympics. There are many European and South American nations that have pretty advanced basketball infrastructures and would kick our amateur's butts pretty badly.

[Catherine Vincent]

135. The Yankees and the Celtics.

[Ishoutandscream]

140. The Cowboys because Clint Murchison killed Kennedy and

Jerry Jones is a GOPer. Tom Landry was part of the radical right. All of the players are on coke, while all other teams have choir boys.

And last, but not least, the Cowboys represent everything that is wrong with the south and Texas in general.

Yeah, assinine stuff like that which has been stated here at DU.

But the real reason - because they have kicked many of a teams' ass through the years.

[LSdemocrat]

145. Yankees

[LynneSin]

146. I'll publically pick my nose before cheering on the Lakers OR the Cowboys

You could even webcam the event!!

I hate those 2 teams!!!

[joeybee12]

147. I can't let this thread die!

Kicking it back up there!!!!!!!!

[progressiverealist]

150. I'll fill my shorts with tacks and ride the tilt-a-whirl before...

I cheer for the Northwestern Wildcats

[joeybee12]

151. Why? Who are their arch-rivals?????????????

[joeybee12]

152. More responses---more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Superfly]

154. East German and USSR hockey teams...

seeing as how they no longer exist...

[Bertha Venation]

155. how much time you got?

New York Yankees
Oakland Raiders
Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins
L.A. Lakers -- actually, every damned team in the NBA

[joeybee12]

156. I'm sort of amazed at so many Lakers-haters

Well, maybe I'm not.

[pdx_prog]

159. it's unanimous

The Dallas Cowboys SUCK!

The Cowboys are at the VERY top of my list, although I have a GREAT deal of respect for some of the older players, the team sucks.

Second is the fu#*ing Atlanta Braves....followed by the Falcons, followed by the Lakers.

[noonwitch]

160. Cowboys, NJ Devils, Buckeyes

I never have liked the Cowboys. I'm a Michigan/MSU fan (I went to neither and my taxes support both), so I'll never root for OSU. As much as I hate the Avs, I root for them (if the Wings aren't in contention) because I respect them for not being crybabies.

[KamaAina]

163. Those with right-wing ties: darn near all of them at this point!

Right-wing owners. Colangelo. Huizenga. McCombs. Jones. Spanos (a Repuke Pioneer!). Numerous others.

Righty/fundie players, notably Kurt Warner.

And, the kicker: righty cities/states where us DUers could get flipped the bird, or worse, for our bumper stickers. Now that Collie-4-knee-ya has gone to the dark side, that pretty much leaves, um, Seattle and (the last refuge) Toronto.

Now the Seahawks are in the midst of a swan dive -- to Warner's Rams! (yes I know he's not playing but he's still getting a fat check he can sign over to the fundies). Aaargh! What else could happen? Les Expos moving to Baghdad and winning it all, thus ruining a fourth straight year of baseball?!

[joeybee12]

196. Did you know that the Kansas City Chiefs--the entire team--are on NRA

blacklist!

Maybe they aren't all right-wingers!!!!!

[11 Bravo]

164. New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Notre Dame, and U of Miami

n/t

[mlawson]

171. Any University of Tennessee team!

I went to a somewhat smaller state university in TN, but ALL WE EVER HEARD was, "BIG ORANGE!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!"
The UT fans would come to our own ballgames, with a radio so they could listen to the "big game' in Knoxville, and even wear their orange shirts!! I always suspected that many big orange fans never once set foot in a college classroom, as well!!!! It was the redneck thing to do....

[joeybee12]

172. I LOATHE their women's basketball team!!!!!!!!

I'm a UCONN Fan!

I think TN's team is passe--Pat doesn't have any more good years in her left!

[ThoughtCriminal]

174. Kabul Goat Polo

[joeybee12]

176. Come on--how do you know this is even in Kabul???

Get into the spirit of the thing--lots of teams to hate out there!

[Fight_n_back]

175. DODGERS

no way in HELL!

I have rooted for the Cowboys on occasion but NEVER the Dodgers.

Of course if I was around in 1947 I would have been a big Dodger fan but now NEVER!

[joeybee12]

177. Kick, kick and kick again!

[joeybee12]

178. One final kick--I'd like to see this hit 200!

Is that too much to ask for???????????

[Cadfael]

182. Did I mention...?

The White Sox suck!

[joeybee12]

183. No, you didn't--post it again!!!!!!!!!!!

[Catshrink]

184. It is my solemn and sworn duty to oppose the Packers.

whatever the odds/prize/game.

Go Bears. Do it for Walter:

[YuNgWuN]

190. Long list but here it goes

Colorado, Iowa State, Nebraska, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Baylor, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Texas. If you can't tell who I am a fan of then you must be terrible at solving puzzles.
