Inspired by a friend's writings....I am re-evaluating my philosphy on favorite sports teams.
Ever since i was conceived, i have been a cubs and bears fans. My two favorite team specator sports, baseball and football, football being the biggest....i love pro football. I am huge fan of some individual sports such as track and field and tennis. (Don Sage was like the guy every one revered in high school..so i guess he was an influence. Andre Agassi was my hero in his respective sport.) I was all about Chicago. I live in a town closer to st. louis than chicago, but still in illnois. Therefore it was commonplace to hate the cardinals if you're a cubs fan and since they were successful and the cubs weren't. So i did...hate them with a passion. And when the rams came to the STL...all of hte semi-bears fans then became rams fans. But I couldn't possibly. It's not the way i work. Being a Bears fan was rooted in my up-bringing and there was no way that could change.
In other sports though, I am not so unwavering. Take Pro Basketball for instance. I was never a bulls fan for some reason. I just couldn't do it. They were too good....and i'm used to the bears and cubs...i like the underdog i guess. I was a fan of the Utah Jazz for some odd reason. I think i liked John Stockton. And they were a counterpart of the bulls.
Hockey, I am a big blackhawks fan...but i do not despise the blues...my brother was a fan...and i latched on i guess.
people that dont' even like baseball and are all of a sudden hardcore cubs fans should shampoo my crotch. It irritates me to no end.
College Sports. In football...I was a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes when i first started watching college football. Back when eddie George was their heisman winner. College basketball...i was fan of duke...again because my brother liked them. Well, and i like the university of Illinois in all sports. They are my number 1 college team still for some reason. Even when i went to school at the University of Minnesota. Ya know what....i'm just gonna break it all down for ya right now
