    This past Monday, I spent 7 hours watching opposing counsel review our clients' documents. Our client was a little paranoid about them stealing or altering documents (it never happens), so I wasn't allowed to read like I usually do when I do this. Anyway, getting to the point, I doodled. I decided to make a list of my 10 least favorite franchises/teams, and then a list of my 10 most favorite franchises/teams.

    Most Favorite

    1. Houston Rockets
    2. Houston Astros
    3. Texas Longhorns
    4. Green Bay Packers
    5. New Orleans Saints
    6. Chicago Blackhawks
    7. Texas Rangers
    8. San Jose Sharks
    9. Dallas Stars
    10.Chicago White Sox


    Least Favorite

    1. Texas A&M Aggies
    2. Dallas Cowboys
    3. Utah Jazz
    4. Atlanta Braves
    5. New York Yankees
    6. Los Angeles Lakers
    7. Tennessee Titans
    8. San Antonio Spurs
    9. Detroit Red Wings
    10.Los Angeles Dodgers

    Does it say something about my personality that it was MUCH EASIER to come up with the teams I don't like?

    How about y'all's?

    DREAMer, is there any reason why you put the NHL up there? I fully respect your opinion, just curious as to why you would hate such a great game.

    Azim,

    It's not a knock on the league. I just don't like hockey.

    I'm sorta an 'old-school Texas football-bred' guy. I still find it hard to admit there's more than three legitimate sports: Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

    I know it's dumb, but I don't care... [​IMG]

    Most Disliked (as opposed to least liked, that would be higher than these [​IMG])-

    10. Boston Celtics
    9. Philadelphia Phillies
    8. New York Mets
    7. Cleveland Browns
    6. Chicago Bulls
    5. Pittsburgh Steelers
    4. Buffalo Bills
    3. Atlanta Braves
    2. Dallas Cowboys
    1. Utah Jazz

    Most Loved (as opposed to best liked)

    1. Houston Rockets
    2. Houston Oilers (days gone by)
    3. Houston Astros
    4. Houston Comets
    5. Minnesota Vikings (Moon traded there)
    6. Kansas City Chiefs (Moon there now)
    7. Jacksonville Jaguars (Home state)
    8. Miami Dolphins (" ")
    9. Texas Rangers
    10. Houston's new NFL team (I'm sure this will move up in rank as soon as the play begins!)

    You can probably see by my "disliked" list that they were mostly teams that were rivals with Houston teams and/or kept them from championships/playoffs.

    Its all good DREAMer, though I can't really relate [​IMG]

    Its understandable that the good old game of hockey hasn't been popularized in every knook and corner of the States, just as basketball has yet to make a huge impact in Canada outside of Toronto and Vancouver.

    I just hope you give the game a chance and if you have an opportunity to go to one (maybe a Stars game), I would jump all over it.
