Have you ever changed favorite teams?

[gregr2]

I grew up in north New Jersey, so for me it was always Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers. I have held to that for many years even though most of them suck year after year. I have become a Yankees fan over the past 5 years or so. So for me, the Yankees have replaced the Mets.

I started out as a Raiders fan in the old AFL. Rooted for the Steelers in the NFL, but mainly watched AFL games. When they met in the 1972 Playoffs, I quit rooting for the Raiders and only rooted for the Steelers after that.

I'm dug in forever: Braves and Yellow Jackets!

grew up a Phillies fan (phan?) in the '80s as Schmidt / Luzinski were my favorites...followed them forfuckingever, and while I still (halfway) still follow them, when Ryan Howard started to suck, I became a born-again Angels fan, my 2nd favorite team for the past 20 years.

while he's admittedly had some down years with the Angels, and while I love and respect Trout - he's awesome! - I've been a PUJOLS fan forfuckingever, and while I'm disappointed with his production - particularly over the past few
years, I sincerely miss his presence in the lineup, even though his feet / legs are now shot.

Hoskins of the Phillies keeps me a "phan", but I've become an Angels fan as well they've got Fletcher and a few other younger players that pique
my interest for the future, but even though my Phillies have a future, I've become a Angels fan.

I tried but I learned long ago that you don't choose your favorite team, your team chooses you. I'm a long suffering Leafs and Bills fan but also love the Jays so I have experienced a couple championships at least!

Packers
Brewers
Bucks
Badgers
Irish

Have been, and always will be, whether they're good, or they suck.

My allegiances changed when my favorite players left town.
I was a hardcore Maple Leafs fan until March 3, 1968, when they traded Frank Mahovlich to Detroit, so I instantly became a Red Wings supporter. Then on Jan. 3, 1971, Detroit swapped the Big M to Montreal, so overnight I became a Habs fan. My loyalty to Montreal cooled considerably 13 years later when the Canadiens basically forced the great Guy Lafleur to prematurely retire midway through the 1984-85 season, but the last straw was when they traded Patrick Roy to Colorado on Dec. 6, 1995. I have been an Avalanche fan ever since.
Same thing in baseball. I loved the A's until New Year's Eve, 1974, when Catfish Hunter signed with the Yankees. Loved the Bombers ever since.
