I almost never root for the Eagles, but I hate Seattle more. Somebody is going to have to go to Lambeau next Sunday (forecast about 35F).

Well, the neighborhood is now a warzone and people are in their cars laying on their horns. I was hoping for silence.

What neighborhood
Thanks

Well, as I expected a lot of Bama hate. I think you Auburn guys are just hanging around the wrong Bama fans.

College football: Notre Dame
College basketball: Duke

NFL: not really a fan of any team, but I do enjoy watching all of the Bama players on various NFL teams.

NBA: Any team on which Chris Paul plays.

MLB: Boston Red Sox

Thanks,

WJR

Some of my best friends and a few relatives are bammers.

I like one of them.

The Dallas Cowgirls. I enjoy seeing them lose because I will never forgive Jerry Jones for pushing out my coach, Jimmy Johnson, after he won us 2 back to back Superbowls. This past season's utter failure with the best or most talented team in the NFL, was nothing but a win for me. I hate you Jerry. Glad you built that monstrosity in Arlington too. Jerry Jones is an asshole.

SF Giants.

Ima Dodger fan. And I still feel Roseboro's pain

I grew up in Denver and am still a Broncos fan. So, I enjoy seeing any AFC West team (other than Denver) take a loss.

Gotta admit, no real love for the Patriots or Dallas so I'll add them to the list as well.

I've been holding off responding to this thread because the team I dislike the most (I don't like the word "hate") is in a sport I no longer pay attention to: American football.

For decades, I was a fan of the Washington Redskins. Some of you may remember when they were a professional football team. But they, and the NFL, have become a mockery of sports in general, and football in particular, so I've changed my focus to my first sports love, baseball. That's for the OTHER thread!

But, having been a Redskins fan for so long, I grew a natural (it seems to me) distaste for the Dallas Cowboys. Oh, I respected Tom Landry as a head coach, but little else in that team drew my admiration.

And the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry was one of the NFL's best. I remember standing in RFK Stadium on January 22, 1983 as the 'Skins were preparing to play the 'Boys for the NFC Championship. The stadium literally shook as the capacity crowd chanted (bellowed?) "We want Dallas!" They got them, in a memorable game that led to the Redskins winning their first Super Bowl championship.

When owner Jack Kent Cooke died and his family was unable to retain control of the team, Daniel Snyder swooped in a took over. Snyder, who grew up as a fan, proved he was clueless about running an NFL franchise, and the team fell into disrepair. The team once had a 22-year waiting list for season tickets. These days, they can't give them away.

So, I pay very little attention to the likes of the Krappernicks and what has become the National Felons League. But deep inside my monkey brain, I still harbor a dislike for the Dallas Cowboys, and just crack a little smile when I hear they've lost.

Seattle suburb. I posted that right after they beat the Eagles in the wildcard playoff. Hoping for silence on Sunday.

Well you sure got your money's worth the last couple of seasons.

I forgot to add to my earlier post: The Cubbies.

Growing up on the south side of Chicago, learning to hate the Cubs was a coming of age requirement. As I've gotten older, it's their fans more than the team I can't stand. Nothing says poseur more than Gen Xers and Millennials, decked out in Cubbie hats and jerseys, who root for the team because it's fashionable yet they know next to nothing about baseball.

I forgot to mention the Cubs? Shame on me. I agree 1000 percent with your comments.

Yeah. I remember when nobody went to the Cubs games. I watched them as a kid because there was nothing on Chicago TV during the summer except for soap operas and educational TV{ in those days some guy in a short sleeve white shirt and tie doing Algebra on a chalkboard. Even the bleachers were empty. Jack Brickhouse however was entertaining.
