sports teams

So, the fact that i never update this doesnt really mean much to me. i just suck at life. i have, however, decided that i should, at some point in my life, have some semblance of a favorite sports team for the major professional sports. i think i'll just stick to american sports for now, namely the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. and the WPS. womens professional soccer. i think im just gonna list the teams in groups of potential favorites to potential hated. maybe ill throw some reasoning in there, too.

NFL
potential favorites
-jets - i like that they kinda suck, but they have potential.
-texans - their mascot is ambiguous and theyre from texas. whats not to like?
-colts - peyton manning is awesome.

teams i can like
-browns - they have quinn, and i like lots of people from cleveland.
-ravens - because they're really hardcore. and if i dont like them, they'll shank me.
-steelers - they're a good, hardworking team. and they had the bus.
-titans - only because they used to be the oilers.
-chargers - san diego is a great city and ladanian is sweet.
-cowboys - they're a good team, though i dont like following trends and they were the trend in el paso.
-giants - they have justin tuck. tuck is awesome. also, my old roommate loved them, and he's a cool guy.
-eagles - theres nothing wrong with them, and they're kind of a local team.
-packers - they're such a trooper of a team. they just seem to have a great work ethic.
-falcons - i like them because of vick. even though vick is gone. i like them slightly less now that matt ryan is doing so well.
-saints - media presented this team as bringing the city together after katrina. i like that. even tho they do have reggie bush.
-cardinals - another hard working team that rocked it last year.
-rams - i like st louis, so i like the rams.


teams im ambivalent about
-dolphins - does anyone care about the dolphins?
-bengals - they suck too much to like them, but they have ochocinco.
-jaguars - i forgot they even existed before this.
-broncos - eh, strange team.
-chiefs - kinda cool team logo.
-raiders - i thought i was going to hate them because of russell, but they suck too much to care.
-redskins - i cant hate them but i cant like them. they have a sour taste in my mouth.
-bears - da bears bring about no feelings.
-lions - they suck too much to like.
-panthers - another forgotten team.
-buccaneers - i used to like them when they had sapp. now i dont care.


teams i hate
-bills - they have TO and they couldnt seal the deal against the cowboys twice in the 90s. that merits hatred.
-patriots - dont ask me why. maybe because they're cocky?
-49ers - though the cowboys arent "my team", i still hate the 49ers.

i went through each team in the NFL because i like football the most. for the other sports, i might just pick teams that i might like/might be favs.

NBA
potential faves
bulls - how can you not like jordans former team?
cavs - how can you not love lebron?
spurs - tim duncan and a city where someone in my family actually lives? thats a winning combination. this is my actual favorite team in the nba.


teams i'll probably hate
celtics - i dont know if i like any sports that come from boston

MLB
potential faves
orioles - they have a sweet stadium and they're close and i like their uniforms
yankees - they're pretty amazing, though controversial
indians - once again, i like cleveland. also, i went to my first MLB game in cleveland.
A's - i like their name.
mariners - i loved the griffey/big unit era.
phillies - they're a quality team.
cardinals - i like st. louis. and pujols. and i used to like anheuscher-busch before inbev.

teams i'll probably hate
red sox - once again, boston
yankees - they suck and are pissy

NHL
potential faves
-penguins - i like pittsburgh and crosby.
-ducks - how can you not like the ducks?
-stars - hockey in texas? count me in!

teams i'll probably hate
-red wings - just dont like them. arrogant, perhaps?
-bruins - is boston involved?

WPS (womens professional soccer)
favorite team
-st. louis athletica - amanda cinalli. the first professional and only professional athlete i know. she went to ND. and played on ND's soccer team. and is an awesome person. and is the first and only pro athlete i know. i gotta love the team.

hated team
breakers - they're from boston. i dont expect good things.

now dont get me wrong. i love boston. its a great city. its beautiful. and i had a great time while i was there. but i just dont like their sports franchises one bit. i dont know why. well, anyway, there you have it, i threw together a quick list. now i'll just have a pick a team from those potentials. that can wait for another day.

twitter feed

so i got a twitter feed to work on this website. it's on the right. this really means nothing because i never blog or twitter, but hell, it's there now. it's not like anyone reads this anyway.
