bob_sauve28 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 The Buffalo Sabres, and really that's it. I try and follow the Bills, but football is all commercials to me. Funny thing about me is, I enjoy the football off season moves. I like watching who they draft and free agency, but when the games on I usually drift off to do something else.

McJeff215 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 The Buffalo Sabres, and really that's it. I try and follow the Bills, but football is all commercials to me. Funny thing about me is, I enjoy the football off season moves. I like watching who they draft and free agency, but when the games on I usually drift off to do something else. The obvious Buffalo teams. I lean more towards hockey over the past five or six years as the NFL has had a bit of a "WWF" feeling to me. Much too commercialized, for example... "It's fourth and two, here's Losman in the shotgun brought to you by Coca-Cola. Here's the Miller Light snap. He's back to Zoloft. WOW! Did you see that play Murph? He 2007 Toyota Tundra'd that thing right through that Ford Tough defense and into the arms of Lee Evans! All rights reserved." It's got nothing to do with the fact that the Bills have sucked. It's the league in general. Not a big NCAA/Golf/NASCAR guy. Baseball? If there's nothing else on I guess I'll watch, no real favorite. I dislike Patriots, Hurricanes, Stars, Falcons, Thrashers. The latter two because I live in Atlanta and don't care much to hear the other team's coverage all the time when there are so many residents apathetic to both teams. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveAndWarrener Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Do I need to mention that I HATE ALL BANDWAGON TEAMS You know: Yankees, Cowboys, Notre Dame... Any winner can be a bandwagon team, my friend. Even our beloved Bills were a bandwagon team for some in the Super Bowl years. And the Sox certainly were after their title. I must have seen a 5000% increase in Sox hats here in NYC after they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that every Camaro driving, gold chain wearing loser from Rochester had a giant decal on his rear window from one or all of the aforementioned teams.

Doohickie Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hockey - Sabres, Red Wings Football - Bills, Cowboys College - Don't really root for college sports at all Baseball - Rangers, Dodgers Professional Basketball - Mavs Now, the explanations: Grew up in Cheektowaga, so that's all the Buffalo teams. Lived in L.A. in the 80s and the Dodgers were the first baseball time I followed with any regularity... but I don't really follow them anymore. I live in Fort Worth, a stone's throw from Dallas. I've dutifully hated the Cowboys for many years, but the current group shares almost nothing with the teams that beat the Bills in the Superbowl. I have to admit that, to my surprise, I was pulling for them in the playoffs this year and when Romo fumbled the snap on the field goal attempt, I was in agony. So I guess.... no, I won't say it. Bills #1 by a longshot though. I lived in Detroit through the 90s and watched a mediocre Original Six team grow into Cup winners. Even though there's been a lot of turnover, I still like the team, almost as much as the Sabres. I'm not much of a basketball or baseball fan, but I kind of favor the local teams (Mavs & Rangers). I think the Mavs should get a championship; they've been hanging around "almost good enough" for a long time, and one of these years, I think they will break through.

southern sabre Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Great off topic thread! I love this kind of stuff. Hockey- Sabres Football- New Orleans Saints Baseball- Atlanta Braves College Football/Basketball/Baseball- LSU Basketball- Not a huge fan, but I live in Austin TX., between Dallas and San Antonio, so I am becoming more interested. Mavs have been particularly good as of late. Love some english premier league and international soccer too. Boo for the MLS. Obviously I was born and bred in the deep south. You guys should be proud that Buffalo is my lone northern team. LOVE EM! GEAUX SABRES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
