please re-read that, i'm not judging you by your sig but some of the thin skinned posters do. and you can think you don't take your bias with you but after 4 years at one of the best broadcasting schools in the nation, i can tell you we all take our bias with us where ever we go. and yes, if you changed it to oden you'd probably get a different reaction, at least to start.
Wow, imagine this. I certainly didn't see this coming as I was posting immediately after the game about some of the comments Laker fans were already making. See my sig for one made immediately after the game as one of this board's mods was busying insulting Blazer posters.
So now I'm being judged based on where I live, even better. I apologize that I live in a state with no professional teams to root for, so I have to look elsewhere for one, and it just so happens to be the Lakers.
Your thoughts are mine. I often wince when I see the too quick trigger on the "get out of our forum, you are a troll" b.s. line. Really embarassing.
Since you bring it up, I was just wondering....Is it lost on you that Blazers fans think Ariza is an asshole, and he's not successful? Just say'n, since you think the only reason some of us think KG's an asshole is because he's successful. Or, maybe you think that Ariza is also successful? Inquiring minds want to know.
Hardly a frontrunner. I was raised a Cowboys fan...been a fan since I was 4 years old. And the Yankees are the reason I became interested in baseball, along with the HR race between Sosa and McGwire. And to my credit, I remained a fan of all my teams, even when they were awful.
Why not the Bulls or the Wolves? I have a number of friends from Iowa, and they all picked the closest team to them. You're one of those glory franchise guys. I bet you love the 'Boyz and the Yankees too.
I can't believe it! I post what other teams he's a fan of, then I read down and this guy is SO true to form it's unreal!
The Yankees haven't ever been awful since the time you said you began liking them. In fact, they've won a few championships and been to a few other World Series.
This is very true, they have won a few titles. They were pretty crappy last year though. However, look at the Cowboys. I remain a fan even though they haven't won a playoff game for about a decade, haven't been to the Super Bowl since '96, and even endured some 5-11 and 6-10 seasons that were total garbage. As for someoen who mentioned the Bulls and Wolves, I've always like the Bulls, but don't follow them nearly as closely as I used to. They're definitely my 2nd favorite team in the NBA. The Wolves though, I can't stand because they had KG as the face of that franchise for a loooonnnggggg time, and I've never been a fan of his.
By not as close as you used to, do you mean you stopped around when jordan retired, and they stopped winning?
Haha, not so much. What I implied was that I don't follow them as closely because I've become a much bigger Lakers fan since then. I still follow them and still love the Bulls, but I've become a more adament Laker fan over the years.
If you guys really want a bandwagon fan...meet my brother. He became a Red Sox fan soley because I was a Yankees fan, and his former team, the Indians, were terrible.
