Lakers - hometown team I first started watching back in the eddie jones, nick van exel days Angels - Lived closer to them then the Dodgers so I went to a lot of their games when I was younger Raiders - LA had no NFL team when I was growing up so I rooted for the Raiders who were always televised on this local channel USC Trojans - My first college game I went to was USC when Carson Palmer was there, he must have been a freshman or something because I remember the team not being very good at the time

Chicago Bears - Hometown team

Chicago Bulls - Hometown team

Chicago Blackhawks - Hometown team

Chicago White Sox - Hometown team. When I was growing up, I liked guys like Frank Thomas, Harold Baines, and Ozzie Guillen more than Sammy Sosa and Mark Grace...and so I've been a Sox fan ever since. Plus, I didn't want to be a fan of a team known as the "lovable losers".

University of Illinois- The other big college programs in the area are Northwestern and Notre Dame...can't really think of anyone else. Both Northwestern and Notre Dame always seemed too stuck up (or something) for my tastes so I went with the Illini.

I heard people who selfinflictwoundsget an endorphine rush from the pain.

I'm a Lion's fan, yet no endorphine rush yet.

Maybe because I was so happy when they used to go 9-7 with charlie batch.

Los Angeles Dodgers - Hometown team.

Seleccion Mexicana - I'm Mexican.

Los Angeles Lakers - Hometown team.

FC Barcelona - Been a fan since they signed Mexican player Rafa Marquez.

Not to mention that I grew up in a household where my Dad and brothers rooted for the first three teams. :P

Washington Redskins - Hometown team. I will always be a Redskins fan till I die.

Washington Wizards - Hometown team

Maryland Terrapins football and basketball- I live five minutes near the campus and have been a fan for a long time

Washington Capitals - Hometown team

Baltimore Orioles - I grew up watching them and was a Cal Ripkin fan. I prefer them more then the Nationals since they were the Expos. However I would go to Nats games but I'm not that big on baseball.

I don't really have a faborite soccer team. In Europe I guess I would pick FC Barcelona but I also like Real Madrid so I guess anyone from Spain.

Any team that's in San Francisco is my favorite for that sport; same goes for Oakland (although I generally hate Raiders fans). San Jose Sharks and Earthquakes - they're the only Bay Area team for their sport All Pittsburgh teams - I have always grown up a fan because my dad is a lifelong fan of Pittsburgh Arizona Cardinals - NO, I'm not a bandwagoner. I started watching them in 1999/2000; I just loved the fact that they were the phoniest team in football. I also like the Lakers (nobody likes the Clippers) because they make the West Coast proud. That's a lot of teams, I know, but you have to realize that almost every team I root for is the worst in their league (49ers, Raiders, Giants, A's, Earthquakes, Stanford football, Warriors, Arizona Cardinals until this year, and Pirates). So it's not like I'm rooting for every team.

SF 49ers - The first football memory I have is watching the niners beat the Bengals in SB XXIII. I remember watching this game with my family, and that my dad was incredibly stressed. When the niners were about to go on the their final drive, I remember he uttered these words: "the niners always win." After that Montana led the team with about 1:30 to go, and scored the game winning TD as everybody knows. My dad then lifted me up in the air and said "the niners always win the SB!" From then on I was a fan for life.

SF Giants - It was a combination of things, but I know it started with me feeling bad for them losing against the A's in the '89 WS.

SJ Sharks - Around '92 I remember hearing a lot of Sharks buzz, so I jumped on the bandwagon. It wasn't until about 04 that I seriously started following the team though.

GS Warriors - They're local, no special reason.

LA Lakers - My dad used to talk about Magic all the time, and he also used to pick them whenever I played NBA JAM T.E with him.

Cal Bears - I go there. Before that I was a Stanford fan since my dad went there. I'm also still somewhat fond of USC, since again my dad is a fan of theirs.

New York Knicks - Hometown Team

New York Giants - Hometown Team

Miami Heat - Been a fan of them since '03(when they drafted Wade). Everyone was saying Lebron was the next big thing but I was more impressed by D-Wade.

MLB - Yankees - ever since MAD Magazine ran player posters years ago - my fav was a Goose Gossage poster I had gotten from the mag when I was a kid, ever since then I've been a fan.

NFL - NY Giants - Thought Marc bavaro was awesome

NHL - Bruins -was a Cam Neely fan - I can't name 2 people on the team now.

NBA - Celtics - loved itwhen Danny Ainge would sink a half court shot at the half time buzzer. Seemed like almost every game I watch he'd drain one of those.

Dodgers - Historic team, baseball is my favorite sport, what else? Dodger Stadium is a gem of a ballpark. Kings - Original expansion team, never won a Cup but i still love 'um, need a new owner.

Lakers - Kobe is amazing to watch.

Trojans - Uncle and Aunt graduated from there and took us to games, but with the BCS i've started not to care anymore.

NBA: Houston Rockets - I'm from southeast Texas and Hakeem the Dream is the man. CLUTCH CITY

NFL: Houston Texans - originally Houston Oilers, then Titans because they were the same players, and I love VY, but the Texans have grown on me and that is my team.

MLB: NY Yankees - Growing up I always went to Astro games so I like them as well, but I always watched the Yankees on TV and loved the pinstripes. It's trivial, but for some reason their uniforms attracted me to them. When I was little my big bro had a jersey and I always took it and wore it. Also they have and have had some of my favorite players as well.

MLS: Houston Dynamo - I'm from SETX

NCAA: Texas Longhorns - My grandpa loved them and sort of instilled it in me since I was a baby to love the Longhorns. I now go there as well.

Football: FC Barcelona - my great grandfather is from Barcelona so I have some pride in that, and I just love the way they play the game.

Los Angeles Lakers, because the game when Horry shot the game-winning ,buzzer beating three against the Kings was the first NBA game that i've watched(that was 7 years ago, i was 8 years old back then) and i started to like the Lakers from that time and the best NBA player of today is on that team. :D

Well growing up as an Army brat in KS I was a Chiefs and Cards (back when they were St Louis) and KSUand have been ever since.

Then we moved to Ohio and you didn't get a lot of Chiefs or Cards games, but you got a lot of Eagles games and I'd watch them play with this awesome QB that just blew me away. He was R. Cunningham, so I became a Eagles fan also.

MLB the White Sox cause I use to love watching the The Big Hurt playing and of course the Royals.

NBA the Spurs, because of David Robinson and because he was military.

I know sounds kind of dumb reasons, but I stick with my teams no matter what. I have hats and jerseys of all my teams.

Dallas Stars - Home team

Dallas Mavericks - Home team

Texas Tech Red Raiders - My dad went there

Indianapolis Colts - Being a big college football fan, I highly respected Peyton Manning when he was at Tennesee, so naturally when he got drafted to the Colts, I began liking them. Even though the Cowboys are my home team, I can't stand them. Everybody in Dallas hails them as Super Bowl Champs EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Dallas Mavericks - Home town team, grew up watching them. When I moved to California for four years I was miserable and unable to watch as many games as I had wanted. Now that I'm back in town I get to watch every game. Loving it. And Dirk is just sick.

Glad to see that the posters here for the most part are all homers. I was half expecing people to say, Cowboys, Yankees, Lakers, or whoever the hot team is today...etc. I so hate that. I can give the Army brat a break too. I'm from Chi-town myself, so Cubs (Northsider), Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Fire, Sky, Wolves...And I cannot forget the Chicago Bliss ;)
