Quick question: you mention the Pats, the Jets (don't feel too bad, they at least HAVE a title to their name, though it was a while ago - could be worse, could be the Browns) and Da Fins - but no mention of the Bills. As the only other AFC East team, just for the heck of it, how do you feel about them?

I'm certainly no fan of the Bills, but I can't say that I particularly dislike them. The Jets and the Bills are basically never good at the same time, mostly because the Bills haven't been legitimately good in more than a decade. I'll root against them most of the time because they're AFC East, but it's hard to hate on a team that isn't much of a threat and with so little recent success.

Dodgers, actually been to their games.

I throw my support behind all Los Angeles teams, but I prefer the Lakers to the Clippers.

Unfortunately, you're correct, I haven't. I feel kinda bad, because I'm Swedish on my father's side.Maybe the next time I go to Sweden, I'll see if I can find some tickets to one of their games.

They won last years Swedish Elite Series, I refuse to call it Swedish Hockey League.
Also won the European Championships.
It was great to see them win, after almost a decade of finishing 3rd, 2nd and the like.

NHL - Vancouver Canucks, because my family has roots on the island.
NFL - Seahawks, because same area as Canucks.
NBA - Raptors, gotta support Canada.
MLB - Jays, same reason.

NHL: Penguins. Born into it. Also, Sidney Crosby.

NFL: STEELERS! Again, born into it, but still, a strong team with SIX RINGS!

NBA: I don't watch it.

MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates. Family, I guess.

NCAA: Oregon Ducks. Nice colors, I guess.

I'm sorry then if I might have offended you with my previous comments about baseball...my bad.

Still, TWENTY-SEVEN World Series Championships! It boggles one's mind. May not like them all that much, but I completely agree with you that they are one of the most decorated sports franchises in history. Respect.


What? There isn't anything "offensive" in what you posted my friend.

Football/Soccer: Coventry City, as they're my local team. However, our owners are beyond incompetent, which pretty much explains why we haven't been doing so well lately (as well as the "SISU OUT" in my sig). I also have a soft spot for Leicester City because they defied the odds and won the Premier League last season. And I should also add Germany to this list, seeing as they play more like a team.
Least favourite: Aston Villa, mostly because of the rivalry but also because they relegated us from the Premier League back in 2001; and Portugal, at least until Cristiano Ronaldo finally retires. I'm also not big on England, my national team, though it's because of how badly they've gotten in recent years (like the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016).

Rugby (union): Leicester Tigers. I also support Wasps as a back-up team, again because they're local. And, of course, England, who will hopefully defend their Six Nations trophy.
Least favourite: Saracens. Not because of any rivalries between them and my favourite teams (although Wasps did start playing in London), it's just that they're starting to feel like those boring invincible heroes you get from badly written stories.

I don't really pay that much attention to rugby league, so I'll just say "England" again as my favourite team and move on.

(Ice) Hockey: Coventry Blaze (yes, we have a league over here in the UK). I also keep an eye on Leafs games as well.
I don't have any least favourite teams, even though I should (such as the Nottingham Panthers, Sheffield Steelers, Belfast Giants and Cardiff Devils, the other big ice hockey teams over here in the UK).

I don't really follow baseball that much, but I'd probably say the Blue Jays (and even then it's mostly because of a character I'm writing for an RP supports them). Maybe the Yankees as well, since my ex-girlfriend supports them.
