Favorite Pro Sports Teams?
I'm in Boston so naturally we pull for the local teams first. But I'll acknowledge not everyone else likes Boston's teams, sometimes for very good legitimate reasons. And also I like to cheer for underdogs and or for just teams which operate in ways I like. So I'm giving two answers to each category - the first the default local and the second a just because answer. Football - Patriots (yes they probably have cheated) / Packers (I like that "the people" own the team) Baseball - Red Sox (my wife used to give tours in their park) / Padres (they kept a former player retired with injuries on the payroll indefinitely to help him out) Hockey - Bruins (yay Bergeron) / Detroit Red Wings (an original six, and Detroit doesn't have much else going for it) Basketball - Celtics (legacy years were better though) / Chicago Bulls (still a fan since Jordan days) Soccer - Revolution / (no alternate - just not enough national coverage to know the rest well) Thanks. I love the Bosox. Though have been disappointed in them. They should be better this year. Big acquisitions in starting pitching with Price and Kimbrel. and at first base with Hanley. And the Panda should add some punch. Also I think Xander and Bradley are gonna develop into great players. I am in Detroit and a hockey player so I bleed Red Wing red. They have really collapsed this season. Forgot how to score goals with one of the worst power plays in the league. I like Better on. Tough dude with old school mentality. I should root for Calgary since I played high school hockey there and also nopw have a cousin who is a rookie RW. Sean Monahan. Patriots? Sorry..I hate them. Brady is absurdly good, though. Never seen anybody who makes it look so effortless. The fucker. I have had a love/hate thing going with the Lions since I was a kid. 1
