    Yes, I am a homer. I always believed that the Eagles would make the playoffs this year. I was right on that one..but I also think the Raps will make the playoffs. I couldnt live with myself as a fan if I thought any of my favourite sports teams didnt have a shot at the playoffs. Thats the ultimate goal for me. Thats why I root, and support my teams.Although I DID NOT think the Raps would make it last year..

    Your not right that the Eagles will make the playoffs. They have a shot, but it's still early man.Let's see:Detroit PistonsDetroit TigersDetroit Red WingsMichigan WolverinesDallas CowboysFor the most part I am, but I'm more realistic than most homers. I know that the Tigers rock, but the Wings or Pistons don't have as great a shot at the Title anymore.

The defensive line looks unstoppable, and secondary is great as well now that Litio is back. (I hope everyone saw that return). Offense is leading the League in ppg, isnt it? McNabb is probably playing the best out of any QB in the League right now, Westbrook is leading the L in TD's, and our WR core isnt that bad once you account Westbrook and LJ as prime targets.Watch out folks.

    My definition of a real "homer" isn't just someone who supports their home teams. I think it's someone who cares about no other team BUT their home team. The people that think that every player on their team is better than anyone else. I hate that, and that's a homer in my opinion.

    Like if there is a comparison thread between say Dwight Howard and Ryan Gomes, and if someone honestly picks Ryan Gomes - they are a homer.

    I can't really be homer... we have a CFL team, and the Blue Bombers will always be my favorite CFL team. Oh and I guess there is Minnisota (Winnipeg's unofficial sports teams), I love the Vikings and not so much the T-Wolves but they are still one of my favorite basketball teams.But aside from that I need some other teams... LAKERS!

    Well I'm a homer in the sense that I love all my home teams. I'm a fairly objective fan that looks at both sides of the ball and doesn't think that our worst player is better than their best player, etc. CelticsPats Red SoxBruinsBoston College Eagles Football and Basketball.

    I'm not really a homer. There are some pretty mediocre teams that I support (Rangers, Aggies) and trust me, I will tell you what's wrong with them. I can be biased at times, but not much past that.

    just about everyone is a homer one way or the other. If they favor their team over another, I consider that a slice of homerism.NFL: no favorite.College Football: TexasCollege Basketball: KansasNBA: not sure. hahaMLB: no favorite.
