I am done with all teams from Minnesota.

College football I will split time between Ohio State and Boise State (blue turf for the win and I always play them in NCAA)

I am interviewing NFL teams currently. My loyalty doesn't come cheap. I need winners.

Baseball I will move on to next. Living in Cincinnati and Chicago I have always kinda liked the Reds and Cubs but they are both losers for the most part. Maybe I will be a Red Sox fan.....that would be a real wikked pissah.

If you would like me to root for your team(s) feel free to give me a sales pitch.

What are you looking for in a sports team, Red?  Do you need a legitimate chance at winning only?  Do you want a certain philosophy for your franchise to follow?  There are teams like the Oakland A's who meet the challenge of a fundamentally unlevel playing field by focusing on undervalued qualities in players and stocking their system with these guys.  Rooting for them will get you somewhat surprising playoff appearances.  Chances of winning a championship are a little low.  Then there are the Red Sox.  They have Yankee money and can afford to buy the players the A's wish they had.  Don't choose a team like the Yankees or Redskins with a history of buying names.  The NFL...supposedly the salary cap makes it an even playing field.  So which philosophy do you like?  Again, the Redskins ownership seems blatantly dumb.  The Raiders seemed to have a philosophy that worked 20 or 40 years ago, but it plays pretty dumb these days.  Teams like the Steelers and Eagles I would think might attract you.  The Eagles have a reputation for being wizards with the cap.  The Steelers ownership has had a way of running the team that has never been far out of reach of success.  You could choose the Pats.  Belichek will do anything to win, and he has an evil genius buddy on his staff.  The Pats usually make pretty good personnel moves.  They cheat though.  Just so you know.  Maybe Green Bay?  Is it possible to buy stock in the team still? 

Maybe you should give fantasy sports a go.  Then you can just root for players.

Winners basically.

The Vikings have as much talent as anyone in the league but squander it with piss poor coaching and piss poor ownership. It's no wonder they are the franchise worth the LEAST in the NFL. For fucks sake the Bengals and Cardinals are worth more.

The Twins can't spend like the Yankees and Red Sox so when their young stars get ready for big pay days they trade them away and reload the minor leagues. There is no chance of any type of a dynasty.

Any team from Wisconsin and Cleveland can go fuck themselves.

Right now it's the Steelers and Colts in the lead. Peyton's commercials are gold. For baseball maybe I will root for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays....just cuz the name DEVIL is part of their name. Hail Satan. \m/

They ditched "Devil" this year.  Now they are just the Tampa Bay Rays.  Playoffs.  Coincidence?  I sense a Disney movie.

Forget Football, go NASCAR man, you got easy chicks, infield parties, cars going fast in a left circle.  And the only thing you would have to root for is ol' number 24...look into those eyes, tell me you can't sense Wolverine ferocititties.

1.  The Cubs suck -- there is little better than seeing the litany of "Cubs fans" sprinkled around the country (who have never lived in Chicago nor been to Wrigley) looking dejected when the Cubbies lose in the play offs.  I can't wait for that moment to present itself again.  Seriously, go to a ballgame with Cubs fans -- ASSHOLES. 

2.  Michigan -- a depressed UM fan after another loss is the ONLY thing better than depressed Cubs fans.  Speaking of which, have you guys figured out how to beat a 1AA team yet?  I'm just sayin'...

3.  Red, may I suggest Oregon State?  They are under-valued every year and every year their games are some of the most exciting to watch because of the fight they manage to put up against ranked opponents.  Then there is the fact that they beat USC -- good stuff there.  Oh yeah, and you'll be rooting for Beavers, I mean, come on!

You know what did it for me and the Minnesota teams, Why the fuck did dallas need my hockey team, Once the North Stars became the Dallas Stars I quit liking Hockey

RED,  You'll go back to the Viks, we always do. for what ever reason we seem to like to keep stabbin the balls with a dull pencil.  I said "never again" when we traided for Hershil walker ( look at dallas team, that should of been the Viking) the 98 team the Denny Green fux up on, every year after that with Denny Green. Every year that thay had that pice of shit Moss on the team. ( he may have been a good, but then he hit the cop and draged her 50+ ft bacues he thought she wan't an autograph, then got away with it ) But we keep going back to see if this is the year that we can break the curse and win that superbowl, or if the Purple People Eaters are back. Just keep your pencil ready

The Twins, Well like you said we cant afford to pay them so they leave after a seaon or 2, What can I say they shouldnt even be as competive, but they usally are.

I tend to like the depressed OSU fan after an embarrasing loss in a National Championship game.  But I guess its better to have that "what the hell are we doing here?!?!" feeling than not being there at all.

But then again wooping on Tebow and Meyer last year was fun.
