I will never ever root for__________

[TZ]

Fill in the team that fits this sentence. Any league/sport.
Me, its the Cowboys...even on the rare occasion its helped the Skins, I haven't been able to.
I think everyone knows why..:)

[Forkboy]

1. The Montreal Canadiens.

Here's why...

[TZ]

18. Lol.

Honest Jealousy..I can get with that...;)

[Forkboy]

33. When I was a kid in the 70's and early 80's...

...the Bruins went something like 8 years without winning a single game in Montreal. And at the time there were far fewer teams in the NHL so it was a lot of losses per year. My father and I would celebrate if they crossed the Canadiens blue line. And the Bruins were good, it just didn't matter against Montreal, the bastards!

I have tremendous respect for the team, their history and what they've meant to hockey, but I still hate them. :)

[CBR]

2. Mets, Braves. nt

[mix]

3. a redskins fan who cheers the eagles? we don't need ya nt

[Auggie]

4. The Boston Red Sox,

the Dallas Cowboys, the Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos, the L.A. Dodgers, the L.A. Lakers, the Boston Celtics

I will root for the New York Yankees only when they play the Red Sox.

[joeybee12]

6. Why I oughta

:mad:

[Auggie]

25. Sorry joeybee...

don't take it personally

:hi:

[joeybee12]

44. This is war!

:nuke:

[Auggie]

50. WTF? Cleveland GAVE you Victor Martinez. You should be THANKING me.

Sheesh... some people

:shrug:

[El Supremo]

5. Jerry Jones, Tom Hicks, Al Davis and Pat Bowlen.

[Auggie]

24. This is a very fair way to put it.

We tend to root against individuals and not teams.

[joeybee12]

7. Because I am a God-fearing, rightrous person...I will never root for the

Spankmes.

[TZ]

12. I expected this to be the first post on the thread...

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

14. They were my next pick.

:)

[joeybee12]

17. Hey, I'm slow today...n/t

[a kennedy]

8. Viqueens.....

NEVER liked them, even before Brent signed up with them. :mad: :puke: :grr: :thumbsdown:

[Poiuyt]

29. vikings

From pumping in amplified crowd noise behind the visiting team's bench to tampering with Brett Favre while he was still in GB, the vikings are a classless organization.

[a kennedy]

31. Thank you Poiuyt

I agree completely..... :fistbump:

[Dinger]

83. Me Too

Fuck the vikings, forever.

[KamaAina]

80. I thought it was the Dolts who pumped in the fake crowd noise

:shrug:

[Captain Hilts]

40. Wow. Insulting them by using 'queen'. How cute. And sexist. nt

[trotsky]

63. And extra hilarious when the person who does it is a fan of a team called the "Packers."

You'd think they'd know better.

[Captain Hilts]

65. Okay, I laughed. nt

[brendan120678]

9. Used to be Braves...

now I think it's the Phillies.

Also: Cowboys, Dolphins, Patriots.
Additionally: Duke, Boston College, UConn (Mens & womens basketball - football is okay)

[CBR]

13. The Patriots -- how could I forget. I despise them.

My beloved Phillies will, however, be winning the NL East again.

[BOSSHOG]

15. And any other team to be coached by Bill Billichick

I have been a Phillie Fan since before birth. I heard or read a sports prognosticator state that the Phillies will beat the Yankees in next years World Series. I'll buy that.

[CBR]

20. I'll take it... my Phillies fandom is now a certified obsession. nt

[rep the dems]

51. Right there with ya.

:hi:

[brendan120678]

16. Even if they do...

and I won't dispute that they probably will, that doesn't mean that I will stop not liking them.

Why do you think the Braves were so despised by Mets, Phillies, Marlin and Expos/Nationals fans for so long?

[CBR]

19. This is true re: Braves. I grew up around Braves fans so it

was a decade of resentment. LOL!

[hughee99]

10. The Yankees.

Even when they Sox had a chance to clinch the division against the Rays in '08, I still couldn't bring myself to root for them. The wild card was good enough.

The ONLY possibility that I would ever root for them would be if a Yankee win meant the Sox got into the playoffs, and without it, they were out. I'd need to shower afterwords, though.

Close runners up would be the Lakers, any other NYC team (I don't have anything against Buffalo), Ohio State, the Miami Hurricanes, and the Eagles.

I don't have an issue with Philly in general, or even the Eagles, but Andy Reid has cost me too much money in fantasy football over the last three years to ever root for them while he's in charge. F' Andy Reid.

[trumad]

11. Jet's and the Gators.

[brendan120678]

23. You're a Dolphins fan and the J-E-T-S are your most hated team??

Seriously?

I still have bad memories about Miami at the Jets, November 27, 1994.
I was at that game. The first Jets game I ever attended in person.
It was also - the "Fake Spike Game."
Stupid Dan Marino.

[trumad]

52. Dude

Being a Phins fan should mean I like the Jets? Dude-you don't know the Rivalry to well.

[Harry Monroe]

21. Dallas and the Utah Jazz

I never forgave the Jazz organization for leaving New Orleans in the '70's. Dallas epitomizes the greed and arrogance inherent in professional football. I've always hated them.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Any Team From Denver, Cincinnati, Or Texas

Don't like the other two cities, even a little (and yes, i've been to both, many times each), and really dislike the superiority complex of Texas.

So, if the teams are from there, i will never root for them. In fact, i'll actively root against them.

(Full disclosure: Not a NY thing, but i hate the Mets. Every year when the Mets play the Reds, i scan the rule book hoping to find some way that both teams can lose.)
GAC

[TZ]

27. Well you will never be adopted in my family thats for sure

Who live primarily in three places: Denver, Cincinnati and Cleveland.....:rofl:

[ProfessorGAC]

62. And My BiL Lives In Texas

I'm surrounded, i tell ya.
GAC

[charlie and algernon]

26. Lakers, Brett Favre, Yankees

[MrCoffee]

28. The Fucking St. Louis Cardinals

I fucking hate the St. Louis fucking Cardinals.

[SaintLouisBlues]

82. Must be a Cubs fan

[MrCoffee]

91. Astros

[Ter]

30. The Boston Roid Sux

:)

[insanity]

32. The University of Oregon, The Yanks, England

[Captain Hilts]

41. I take it the 'Yanks' are the baseball team and not the whole country?

WSC: Who's this rotter who calls himself 'insanity'.
FDR: Well, I think the name says it all Winnie....

[insanity]

46. Ha

And yes, the baseball team.

[MaineDem]

34. The NY Yankees

Never have; never will.

[bigwillq]

35. the Boston Red Sox.

The Dallas Cowboys.
The New England Patriots.
The Boston Celtics.
the University of Connecticut (men's basketball).

[PVnRT]

36. Notre Dame

[Broken_Hero]

37. Okay, -edit

OU(football/basketball), The New York Yankee's, The Dallas Cowboys, The Dallas Stars, The LA Lakers...

I'm so/so on the Steelers, after they got my Hawks in the SB a few years back, I've been secretly cheering for them to lose badly...

eta:Notre Dame football, Duke(basketball)

[Awsi Dooger]

38. Gators

In anything. Hell, last night I clicked to the Golf Channel and they were replaying a Big Break Mesquite series from 3 years ago. I took particular delight in watching episode two since I remembered the Gator, Matt Every, was eliminated. :evilgrin:

[Captain Hilts]

39. Cowboys, Raiders, ManU, Braves, UVA, Chelsea, Canadians, Penguins.

I don't root for the Cowboys under ANY circumstances, even if the 'Skins need them to win.

I hate the Dallas Cowboys.
I hate their wives.
I hate their girlfriends.
I hate their kids.
I hate their pets.
I hate their houseplants.

[Auggie]

42. Wow. Not one San Francisco team yet.

:hide:

[BulletproofLandshark]

55. None good enough to hate. n/t

[Kingofalldems]

43. The Baltimore Blo-rioles

[Captain Hilts]

47. It's Peter Angelos I hate for stiff-arming DC for all those years.

I'd like to pop that guy right in the kisser!

[Kingofalldems]

48. Hondo! Thanks for posting that

I am proud that during the 30+ years of no DC baseball, I refused to go to the dark side and root for Balmer. Sadly, many DCers succumbed.

[Captain Hilts]

49. I went about 4 times to see the Red Sox or Mets. Rooted for the Red Sox or Mets!

J'Adore Frank.

[Upton]

45. Yankees

they've been the leaders of the greedy group of suckers that are ruining baseball.

[LisaM]

53. The Minnesota Timberwolves, Oral Roberts University,

Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts.

[trotsky]

64. OK, I gotta ask...

what could someone POSSIBLY have against the Timberwolves? They have sucked virtually every year in their existence. Only one star player, whom they traded away for some magic beans.

[LisaM]

73. Because when the NBA expanded, they verbally promised not to take Rick Mahorn

but they took him anyway. There was a piece in the Free Press about it - they told about him at the celebration for the NBA championship - he'd gone to celebrate with his teammates and the fans, and left hearing he'd been taken by the Timberwolves in the expansion draft (the article described him as sitting in his truck in the parking lot with his bag of souvenirs, fighting back tears). The Timberwolves lied. So I vowed then that I hoped they would never win a game, not one game.

Figures they'd have an expansion draft when the Pistons were at their peak!!! They couldn't protect everyone, so they left Mahorn exposed based on Minnesota's word. Between that and the Brandon Inge incident - can we really trust Minnesotans on anything?

[trotsky]

75. Good grief, the ownership team that was responsible for that...

has been gone for 15 years. Talk about holding a grudge, especially when no one associated with or on the team has any connection to what you're pissed about!

[LisaM]

76. Isn't that what this thread is all about?

Holding grudges? LOL. If you eliminate grudges, this thread would only hold about half the comments, if that!

[TZ]

77. true dat!

:)

[KamaAina]

81. The teams formerly known as the Baltimore Colts and Hartford Whalers

who managed to screw each of the places where I grew up. :grr:

P.S. Karmanos sucks!

[BulletproofLandshark]

54. Cowboys, Penguins, Yankees, Virginia Tech

[Capt. America]

67. Did you go to UVA? Otherwise, who would hate VT? I mean, its not like their on most of America's

radar.

[BulletproofLandshark]

79. No, but I'm a UVA fan.

[Captain Hilts]

85. I hate Cowboys, Pens, and UVA....nt

[flvegan]

56. The Yankees and Manchester United

[Captain Hilts]

86. Chelsea fits nicely into that group. nt

[flvegan]

96. Not my Blues!

[rep the dems]

57. Dallas Cowboys, New York Mets, Ohio State Buckeyes

Shittsburgh Penguins, Washington Crapitals (when they play each other it's extremely tough to choose), New York Midgets (except against Dallas). Don't really like any Boston teams either but won't say I'd never root for them. Dislike all New York teams.

[Gemini Cat]

58. Yankees, Cowboys and Michigan.

[Capt. America]

66. Ditto!

[GOPisEvil]

59. Have you got a few minutes?

The Yankees. Any team from Philadelphia. Manchester United. The Los Angeles Lakers. The Utah Jazz. The Detroit Red Wings. The University of Texas. For starters.

[MadBadger]

72. And Notre Dame, LA Lakers, Baltimore Ravens, Tiger Woods (Go Phil!), University Of Maryland

[TZ]

74. Hey!

Whadda ya got agaisnt my Terps?

[Yavin4]

60. The Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, and NE Pats

In general, ANY team in Mass. because of their holier-than-thou fan base.

[caraher]

61. Cowboys and Yankees

I would say Buckeyes, too, but upon further reflection there have been times I've been OK with their winning even if I couldn't exactly root for them.

Oh, and Notre Dame.

[era veteran]

68. Duke

[RT Atlanta]

69. Alabama (Tuscaloosa)

n/t

[GaYellowDawg]

70. There's a few...

Georgia Tech
UT (the one in Obknoxville)
Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins (when they play Dallas, I turn the channel and hope for injuries)
New York Yankees

[MadBadger]

71. The New York Yankees

Sadly I'm an Orioles fan displaced in Jersey full of front-running fuckers. Id say the Cowboys, but growing up here, I have a strong hatred of the giants and Eagles too, and when they play, I dont know who to root for.

[SydneyBristow]

78. The USC Trojans

Have fun with you're new coach! :hi:

Syd

[Iggo]

84. Cowboys and Bret Favre.

Gonna be a rough weekend...lol.

[bluedigger]

87. Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers, Ohio State

And any Florida or Texas college teams not playing OSU.:rofl:

[Iggo]

88. Oh, wow! How could I forget The Hated Giants?

I even rooted for the OC Angels against The Hated Ones.

[T_i_B]

89. Sheffield United

Followed by Leeds, Man U and Arsenal.

[Iggo]

90. Who does that leave?

Sherwood Forest?

[T_i_B]

97. I actually don't mind at all most other teams

It's just a few clubs that I dislike, most especially the blunts.

Some of the whinging and whining they came out with when Bumhole Lane wasn't selected as one of the grounds for England's 2018 World Cup bid was priceless.

[Burma Jones]

92. Cowboys, Colts, Mets, U of Florida, Sherwood High School

I can easily see a Cowboys/Colts Super Bowl happening this year.....

[TZ]

93. Sherwood HS?

LOL...I guess I could've added Seneca Valley. Gburg-Seneca Valley was the BIG game when I was in school.

[Burma Jones]

94. I went to Magruder.......

[a la izquierda]

95. I would never root for...

the Red Sox, the Cowboys, the Devils or Brazil. I can't pick a college, because I may end up getting a job at Texas or Florida one day. So, despite being a fervent OU fan, I can't say I'd never root for Texas.

Sure do hate the Trojans, though.

[joeybee12]

98. I'm kicking this so it reaches 100...been a while since we've had a thread

that long.


Oh, and FYI, the yankmes suck.

[JonLP24]

99. University of Arizona Wildcats

Pro teams tough to decide.

I'll go with Seahawks for the NFL.

Utah Jazz for the NBA.

Arizona Diamondbacks for MLB.

(teams I dislike)


edit-I dislike the Yankees more than the D-Backs. I was focusing on divisional rivalries for the purpose of this thread. Also when it comes to the NFL I probably dislike the Cowboys more.
