Have you ever changed favorite teams?

I grew up a Mets/Jets/Islanders fan. (For those of you not from the tri-state area, that is the usual rule of thumb grouping of teams. On the other hand, Yankees fans generally tend to love the Giants and Rangers.)

Going to college in Western NY exposed me to the rabidity of Bills fans, and slowly over time I started rooting for them...until I became a frickin' diehard Buff fan!! Went to a MNF game at Rich Stadium and cried like a baby four years in a row after the Super Bowl. Last year, they backed into the playoffs (and played terribly), so I thought the Buff was finally re-emerging from the doldrums...but here we are in 2018 and once again they are in rebuilding mode. Ugh. Still love my Jetties, but the worst 2 days of every year are when the Jets and the Bills play each other.

For baseball it has always been the Cardinals, although I did decided I needed to have a favorite AL team too. The early 80's A's became my AL team, I was a huge fan of Rickey Henderson & also enjoyed the antics of Billy Martin.

Hockey it has always been the Blues, only other team I ever really followed at all was the Canucks as I was a big Pavel Bure fan.


Football has been a little different for me, it's the one sport where the home team wasn't always my favorite team. My first game I watched was a Monday night game in the early 80s with the Steelers & I have been a life long fan since then. Thought I rooted for the football Cardinals & later the Rams, the Steelers have always been my team

I was a Philadelphia Flyers fan as a kid/teenager but when Bobby Clarke made his ridiculous comments about Roger Neilson, I became an Edmonton Oilers fan. This was in the early 2000’s so I did not jump on the Gretzky Stanley Cup winners bandwagon. Go Oilers!!!! I hope to catch them for a home game in the near future.
