Instead of finding a team, I'd suggest you find some fun ways to play the games.
ie... touch or flag football leagues, softball in the summer etc.
After you lose a couple hundred games over a few seasons, you'll see the swings.

Our Twins have a couple World Series wins, but that's it.. we still have Vikes, Wild (yeah right), T-Wolves.. etc.
Hey, they're from here, so they are My teams.

I'm am not a fair weather fan, but I do have great respect for players that simply deserve it... ie.. Brett Favre, Reggie Miller, Roger Clemons, etc...

This was always my thinking with sports teams..if the home team doesn't make it into the final root for whatever team is the closest to where you are

I used to be a big collector of sports cards and memorabelia..have boxes of stuff in the basement....why did I do that?

I've been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan since before I turned 10.

They've won a few Super Bowls, they've also had some shitty years as well and are finally starting to show some life again. We'll have to see what happens for this upcoming season though.

I've also been a nut for MLB for quite sometime now and since the fam moved up to Toronto back in the 70's it was hard early on to be a Jays fan until they won it a few times in the 90's. Glad to see that Selig has decided to clean up the game - finally!

I've been an NBA fan off and on for quite sometime now. And I'm SO glad the Lakers have fallen onto hard times.

It's really nice to see them eat some humble pie.

I used to love the NHL but greed's killed that sport and greed's killed my desire for it as well. So fuck 'em.

Well, there you have it from me.

Now, if I can just figure out handicapping and how to beat spreads, sports will be much better than just cheering for your favorite team.

Let's see, I'm a Jets fan and a Knicks fan. Knicks haven't won since the year I was born, I'm positive I'm a jinx to them. Still, I'm a fan. I think it kinda sucks when a team gets good and suddenly they have all these "Fans." No, no, you're not a fan if you're supporting a team because they're winning, what you are is a frontrunner with no loyalty.

I have to give credit to Boston fans. They have blind support for their teams even if they're sucking it up.
