Top 10 Franchises/Teams I'm Least Likely, and Most Likely to Root For

[Rocketman95]

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...

[IROC it]

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

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.

5 The JailBlazers - Pippen top 50 my ass
6 The Vikings-God I hate em
7 The Redskins - Snyder is a spoiled brat
8 The Aeroes - cause of Chuck Watson, may that bitch rott in hell for eternity
9 The Astros - because they are a bunch of chokers, and traded away a future CY yound candidate for sh!t
10 The Jazz and all their fans-could these guys get any uglier. I mean has Hornacek ever looked at himself in a mirror. And what the hell is up with Osterfag.

[Azim da Dream]

Its all good DREAMer, though I can't really relate

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.
