Name the team(s) you would absolutely never root for no matter the circumstances.

[Capt. America]

I'll start:
1) scUM
2) Yankmees
3) Florida 'Baiters

[Condem]

1. Notre Dame- USC.

My God. Who do you hate more?

[El Supremo]

2. Bankees and Sooners

[cboy4]

3. Only a few

1. Dodg*rs

2. Cowboys

3. FLA Gators

4. Alabama Tide




It would be under extraordinary circumstances for me to root for:

(not in any particular order)

NY Yankees, LA Lakers, USC Trojans, Notre Dame, Detroit Wings, Boston Red Sox

[Condem]

4. Georgia Bulldogs?

[cboy4]

6. Hmmmm. I thought about them, and I was like .. as much as I hate losing to

Georgia, I can't say I loathe them.

Same thing with Auburn.

But....

Florida? Yea, I loathe them.

Alabama? Yea, I loathe them.

And if we didn't dominate Vandy and Kentucky the way we have over the years .. those two schools would be on the "loathe list" also. HA.

[madinmaryland]

7. Uhmmm. The Douche would be rooting his heart out for the Dodgers or Cowboys

if it helped his team make the playoffs. Unless, of course, he is not a REAL SPORTS FAN.

[mix]

5. Eagles

[a la izquierda]

8. Oooh too easy.

RedSox
TX Longhorns
NJ Devils

[Iggo]

9. The Hated Giants, Yankees, Celtics...

...9ers, Cowboys, Red Wings, Notre Dame, all Big Ten teams, all Florida teams college and pro, all Texas teams college and pro. Probably others.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. Dallas Cowboys

It is immoral to lose to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Washington Redskins take a close second. When the Cowboys and Redskins play, it's a real shame that they can't both lose.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. I'll Go With That

I've never liked that pompous group of idiots. And, then they changed owners and got even worse.
GAC

[Condem]

18. Saw the strangest thing, yesterday.

A guy from Philly wearing a World Series Champs ballcap and a Dallas Cowboy T-shirt. I told him if we were in Philly he'd still get spat upon. Even with the Phillie hat.

[Captain Hilts]

36. Spat on? He'd get the shit beaten out of him. Rightfully so. nt

[Condem]

39. I was trying to keep this....well, you know ,Captain

The Sports Forum being a family place and all.

[Captain Hilts]

40. Ever the gentleman, you are Condem...nt

[Condem]

42. Thank you, very little.

[Captain Hilts]

44. Hey! It IS a compliment.

I've been on the edge and felt like saying 'shit'.

[Condem]

48. I know, Captain.

Appreciated!

[Iggo]

24. Oh yeah. I forgot The Football Team From Washington DC.

Not rooting for them 'til they change their nickname.

[inthebrain]

11. New York Rangers and Atlanta Braves

[cboy4]

15. Says the person who just spent the past week rooting for the Braves.

:eyes:

[Onceuponalife]

12. my picks

Yankees (lemme guess, cboy...you'd root for the Yankees ONLY if they were playing the Dodgers in the WS...am I right?)
Twins aka Twinkies
Whiners
Mighty Schmucks
Stanford
Notre Dame (pretty much any Catholic school, really)

Also, even though I don't really care about basketball anymore, I don't see myself ever rooting for any Leastern team, esp. the Celtics.

[cboy4]

16. Yes. In fact I would root for al-Qaeda if they were playing the Dodg*rs

in the WS.

[Onceuponalife]

30. Why do you hate America?

[Iggo]

25. Stanford? Are you a Cal guy?

[Onceuponalife]

31. Cal is my second favorite after USC

I'm an atheist and I hate all catholic schools. After what Cal did to their rival Stanford that one year with the five laterals, I was a Cal fan for life. I don't care if they're in the same conference as USC, they're not usually competing for the conference title at the same time so there's no real conflict, but when they play each other I root for USC.

[Iggo]

34. I root for UCLA.

I was just curious. I've noticed people don't usually have an opinion about Stanford unless they're Cal fans. Maybe it's different "up there."

[KamaAina]

64. There is no Mighty in the Schmucks

they dropped it when Disney (Disney?!) sold the team.

[Auggie]

13. Dallas Cowboys, Boston Red Sox

[BulletproofLandshark]

17. The Pittsburgh Motherfuckin' Penguins

The sports media's worship of Sidney Crosby is nearly on a par with that of Tim Tebow and Lebron James. It makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth every time I think about his name being on the Cup for all time.

[rep the dems]

32. Ugh, totally agree.

I absolutely despise that team and all the breaks they get from Bettman and the refs. I probably wouldn't root for your Redskins either but they're not nearly as bad as Shittsburgh :)

[Captain Hilts]

43. The NHL wanted them to win the cup because Crosby's cute and has good English. nt

[TZ]

19. Dallas Cowboys

Yankees. Miami of Florida ( or as they are known up here Felon U. )

[trotsky]

46. Stinkin' Cowpies.

I even cheered for the evil Green Bay Packers back when they met the Cowpies every year in the playoffs, only to lose to them EVERY SINGLE TIME. Stupid Packers.

Yankees though, I'll cheer for them now but only when they play the Red Sox, to knock the insufferable Boston fans down a peg.

Miami doesn't get my white-hot fires of hatred burning, but the Gators sure do.

[TZ]

57. I went to school at Maryland during the JJ era at Miami

and they played Maryland quite a bit. I hated Jimmy Johnson LONG before he coached the Cowpies. The best game EVER was when Frank Reich led a 35 point comeback (still the greatest comeback in College Football) against them..

[JonLP24]

20. Yankees, Cowboys, and Arizona Wildcats

That pretty much covers it.

[joeybee12]

21. The stinky, skanky, spankme Yankees!

I will never, ever go to the Dark Side.

I can't see myself rooting for any Florida team, but depending on the circumstances, I can't rule it out completely.

[Ekirh]

22. Hmmmmm

1. Mets
2. Buffalo Bills
3. Duke

[fishnfla]

23. Gators, Trojans, Vikings, Yankees and al Queda

same same

[Jo March]

26. Notre Dame (The fighting Amish), Tennessee Vols

And I would never root for the Dallas Cowboys.

As for the Vols, being a Crimson Tide fan, I'd rather root for Auburn than the big orange machine with Lame Kitten. :puke:

Edited to add: USC Trojans. They get overhyped every year. ESPN does everything but give Pete Carroll a bj on live television. Then they lose to a Stanford or some such team and the idiots at ESPN still worship them: "They are truly the best one-loss team and should play for the NC!" If they lose another game, then you still here them drone on: "They are the best two-loss team and should still play for the NC!" Disgusting.

[cboy4]

29. I do have to say I admire Alabama's team logo

[Jo March]

61. Seriously? A UT fan calling Alabama "redneck"?

Seriously, cboy?

[Forkboy]

27. The Montreal Canadiens.

I can't envision any scenario where I would root for them.

[Captain Hilts]

41. Same here, and same for the Leafs, though I understand that it is good for hockey that they be good.

But, really, the Leafs are THE most baselessly egotistical team in professional sports.

The Wall St. Journal in the past year had an article about the folly of their attitude.

[Captain Hilts]

28. Cowboys. Braves. ManU, Chelsea,Lakers, Flyers. UVA. Al-Qaeda. Not if you put a gun to my head. nt

[rep the dems]

33. Mets, Cowboys, and Penguins would probably be my top 3. nt

[Captain Hilts]

35. I was at the Vet in '86 when the Mets could have clinched the Eastern Division...

I'd bought the tickets months ahead of time and drove up from Norfolk.

The Mets played badly, their fans - who had started their drinking at around Molly Pitcher - behaved badly, and Philly fans also behaved badly. I took my mother to that game!!!!

[AllieB]

37. Yankees, NY Giants, Canadiens, Dallas Cowboys.

[BOSSHOG]

38. The Springdale Bulldogs

Arch Rivals of my Beloved Fayetteville Bulldogs. The ultimate in High School Rivalrys brought to you by North West Arkansas.

[MrSlayer]

45. Sometimes you need your hated rivals to win.

For example, if the Eagles getting homefield advantage in the playoffs comes down to needing the Cowboys to beat the Bears I'm going to root for the Cowboys in that game regardless of how much I hate them. Sometimes circumstances force you into that position. Ultimately I want what's best for my team and if it requires me having to root for someone I hate to get best possible outcome then that's what's going to happen.

[Captain Hilts]

49. Actually, I will NOT root for the Cowboys, even at the end of the season to help the 'Skins.

If Washington wants 'in' or 'home field advantage', let 'em earn it.

I won't root for the Cowboys.
I hate them.
I hate their wives.
I hate their girlfriends.
I hate their pets.
I hate their houseplants.

[MrSlayer]

51. Then you hate them more than you like your own team.

I can appreciate that. I will take the most advantageous position for my team however it has to happen.

[TZ]

58. Best post of this thread...

:)

[Auggie]

63. LOL

[hughee99]

72. Normally, I would say the Yankees, Jets, Mets, Lakers and Miami U, but

In the last year, I've found myself rooting for the Yankees against the Rays (because it helped the Sox) and the Jets against the Dolphins (because it helped the Pats). The Mets are in a different league, so I can't see any reason I'd ever root for them, and I just plain don't like the 'Canes, but if it helped Boston College, I'd probably root for them too. The same for the Lakers if it helped the Celtics.

[Dinger]

47. Cheatriots And Skankees (nt)

[flvegan]

50. Manchester United. The Yankees.

[Captain Hilts]

53. Same thing. Add Chelsea to make the set complete. nt

[givemebackmycountry]

52. Only one.....

The Kansas City Chiefs.

I hate the Chiefs.
I hate their stupid stadium.
I hate their stupid uniforms.
And yet, I'm a Royals fan and spent 10 years living in Kansas City.

When we beat them in the playoffs in 1998 to go on to Pittsburgh and eventually to defeat Green Bay in the Super Bowl, that was sweet.

I hate the Chiefs so much, I have no hate left for any other team.
Yes, I'm a Broncos fan.

Well, maybe Tim Jesus Tebow and the Gators.
They suck as well.

[Yavin4]

54. Here Are Mine

N.E. Patriots
Boston Red Sox
Boston Celtics
Baltimore Orioles - because they denied Washington, D.C. from gettin a team for years.
UCLA

[bluedigger]

55. The Yankees, of course! And their weak sisters, the Mets!

The Cowboys
The Lakers
Any team from Florida (for no rational reason, just general principles)
Any college team from Texas

[two gun sid]

56. The Huns (Glasgow Rangers)....

Notre Dame, Florida Gators, Arsenal, Team Frankel.

[PVnRT]

59. Notre Dame, Cowboys, Yankees, Vikings, Ohio State, Purdue, the SEC

[RT Atlanta]

60. Crimsun Tahd...

Under no circumstances do I root for, or care to acknowledge, that team, its tradishun, or its 45 football national "championships."

War Damn Eagle!

[Captain Hilts]

62. The 'winners' here seem to be Cowboys, Yankees, and ManU. nt

[bigwillq]

65. Boston Red Sox, Dallas Cowboys

Notre Dame Fighting Irish, New England Patriots

[Ganja Ninja]

66. Yankees, Red Sox, Cowboys, Buckeyes n/t

[MaineDem]

67. Yankees, Penn State Football, and the RNC softball team

Did I mention the Yankees?

[brendan120678]

68. Hard to say...

1. I'd never root for the Philadelphia Phillies.
2. I'd never root for the New England Patriots.
3. I'd never root for Duke.
4. I'd never root for Wake Forest.
5. I'd never root for the Dallas Cowboys.
6. I don't hate the Yankees, but I don't wish them success, either - unless they happen to be playing the Phillies, Braves, Marlins or Nati'nals.
7. I'd never root for the UConn Huskies basketball team (football's okay though).

[TZ]

69. Forgot about Duke.

I'd never root for them either.

[Kingofalldems]

70. Any Balmer team

[Chisox08]

71. Lets see

1. Green Bay Packers
2. Minnesota Vikings
3. Chicago Cubs
4. New York Yankees
5. Minnesota Twins
