04.06.15 | Football: Steelers/Bills - From Pittsburgh, diehard Steelers fan but I can't stand Steelers fans. I was born in upstate NY and my Uncle has had season tickets for the Bills for over 3 decades. Honestly I'd cheer for the Bills more now than the Steelers if they went head to head.
Hockey: Penguins - Again, love the team, hate the bandwagon ignorant fans.
Baseball - Pirates - It's our year to shine finally.
Basketball - Knicks - Yea, I know....
Favorite Ritual - Pounding Labatt's in the parking lot outside of the Ralph before a Bills game. |
Titan
04.06.15 | Dallas Cowboys
New York Rangers
New York Yankees
New York Knicks |

04.06.15 | knicks [3]
its been a painful year. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Agree heavily on your thoughts regarding a lot of Steelers/Pens fans. Also, just because the Knicks suck so bad, I hope the pirates have a solid year, you deserve that much. As a Jets fan I'm sure you know my opinion on the Bills but would gladly down Labatt's with you before a Jets/Bills game in comradery. |
Titan
04.06.15 | Rangers Hawks cup final out of vegas Doom
hopefully we see you there |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Respect. I would love to see that as a final. I also think a repeat of the Montreal/NY eastern conference finals would be crazy and even better than last years. A lot of heavy hitters in both conferences this year. |
JWT155
04.06.15 | Bills fans are always fun to tailgate with. I've been to over 15 Bills games and only a handful of Steelers games. Pirates Home Opener isn't until next weekend and I already have tickets for Tuesdays and Fridays games. Super stoked. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | I remember opening day last year (following their first playoff birth in decades the year before) that stadium was going nuts. They have a diehard fan base. |
Titan
04.06.15 | 'A lot of heavy hitters in both conferences this year.'
I believe the cup winner will be one of the following: Rangers, Lightning, Habs, Hawks, Kings |
JWT155
04.06.15 | People seem to forget that before the Steelers became popular in the 70's (The Immaculate Reception was the Steelers first playoff win, ever) that this town was a baseball town. With a long history dating back to Honus Wagner, Bill Mazeroski's HR to shock the Yankees, Clemete, Stargell, Pittsburgh has a rich history and I'm ready for them to finally turn the page on 20 years of losing to a new Chapter. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | And Willie Stargell is the man, another great. I always wanted to hit like him or Bernie Williams in little league. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Titan, if the kings even make it, their hanging on by a literal thread. Only three teams that can do it in the east is NY, TAMPA or MONTREAL. All the other teams are pretenders right now. pens are 3-8-1 in their last 12. Tough run. |
Titan
04.06.15 | Pens are disgusting agreed. Kings will be dangerous, would you really want to play them? |
NordicMindset
04.06.15 | giants
knicks
yankees |
KILL
04.06.15 | play up pompey! |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Hell no, that's why I hope those shithead cheap shot taking Jets take the 8th spot from them. I want them to miss the playoffs badly. Minnesota is a dark horse, team has been deadly since the trade deadline. |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.06.15 | Cool thred |
Titan
04.06.15 | Jets are going to miss....then we can point fingers at Dustin |
RoundOnEndHiInMiddle
04.06.15 | all of the cleveland teams and the ohio state buckeyes. aside from the browns, things have been going well. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Hated that guy when he played on the Hawks, hate him more now. Dude is an asshole. Play if kings take the 8th seed, they're beating the choke artist Ducks in the first round. Always the best team in the regular season an then can't show up come crunch time. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Browns looked good last yr up until November. Noah called LeBron a pussy last night. |
Titan
04.06.15 | agreed on Anaheim....get a goaltender already! |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | They actually had Bryz in there for a while this year. Woof. |
RoundOnEndHiInMiddle
04.06.15 | @doom i know, but since they're the browns they crashed and burned and this offseason has been awful |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Yeah, I'm hearing rumors they trade up to get Mariota but I don't really think he's the answer. |
RoundOnEndHiInMiddle
04.06.15 | their problem is they have no wide receivers. they have the front offices ineptitude and josh gordons baffling irresponsibility to thank for that. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Yeah, JG is the stuff ESPN: 30 for 30's are made of. |
MyNameIsPencil
04.06.15 | Football (NFL, soccer is gey): 49'ers and Saints cause the Bears can't be consistent
Hockey: Blackhawks (Chicago native), Sharks, Bruins
Baseball: White Sox (lol @ the Cubs), Angels, Red Sox, Brewers
Basketball: Bulls, Celtics, and Bucks I guess. Don't hate the Jazz either
So pretty much Chicago, Northern California, Boston, and Milwaukee teams are a-okay in my book |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | football- new orleans saints/arkansas razorbacks
hockey- colorado avalanche
baseball- st. louis cardinals
don't care about basketball. don't have a favorite soccer team because mls is boring and don't cheer for any particular european team.
|
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | After last yr, I was surprised by the way Colorado struggled this year. |
Artuma
04.06.15 | "sports in general"
lol are these four the only sports you americans care about? |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | i wasn't expecting the avs to compete for the division this year but I was still expecting playoffs. our inability to score goals this year is confounding. then again, it's hard to score goals when you don't have the puck. |
Ryus
04.06.15 | "lol are these four the only sports you americans care about?"
yeah actually |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | well soccer is definitely growing here |
JWT155
04.06.15 | I believe that we will win! |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | I enjoy individual sports as well such as tennis and MMA but these are the team sports I like. |
Artuma
04.06.15 | individual sports are so much more interesting than team sports, apart from football (the real one) and maybe hockey |
ffs
04.06.15 | beers |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Nothing is better than playoff hockey in my opinion. An yeah, I played tennis all the way through college and I loved being in an individual sport. |
Clumseee
04.06.15 | Habs
Saints
Raps
Jays |
Artuma
04.06.15 | tennis rocks agreed. oh, habs btw |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Habs are great, PK rules. They're one of a few teams who I think are really strong coming out of the east. |
InFlamesWeThrash666
04.06.15 | Do u even St Pauli dudes |
Titan
04.06.15 | ^ east is stronger than the west |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | in the NHL? no |
Titan
04.06.15 | absolutely |
Artuma
04.06.15 | dom's right tbh |
VheissuCrisis
04.06.15 | Everton, in pretty much the only sport that matters. |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | 7 teams in the east sport a losing record against the west, while only 4 west teams have a losing record vs. the east. also, 7 east teams have a negative goal differential vs. 4 in the west. |
Titan
04.06.15 | same story with anaheim, not winning anything without a goalie, st louis does this every year, vancouver and calgary are laughable. Chicago, LA, Nashville, and Minne are the teams out West
Rangers are the best team in the league, montreal has the best goalie this year, and tampa is built for a cup run. washington is playing lights out and like LA, would you really want to play boston? isles, wings, and pens are whatever.
i just think the east is a better bunch this right now |
DikkoZinner
04.06.15 | Reds
Bengals |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | The caps are like the blues of the east |
Titan
04.06.15 | good comparison |
RadioSuicide
04.06.15 | Falcons
Braves
Hawks |
DominionMM1
04.06.15 | ^BOOOOOOOOOOO |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.06.15 | I hope the Blues can surprise some folks in the playoffs this year. Ive always liked them but SO many years as a successful team sans championships. Hurts.
I don't really like any playoff teams in the East, but if I had to choose one I'd like to see go deep it would be the Isles. |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | As a Hawks fans, I despise that team. Fuck Steve Ott. |
lyzakthellama
04.06.15 | Only team I really care about is the Nashville Predators, hopefully they are interesting to watch in the playoffs this year haha |
DoctorDoom
04.06.15 | Team has done well this year, interesting how they match up, the WC team seeding is still undecided. |
Rawmeeth38
04.20.15 | nice i'm from nj too, but go giants |

Arsenal
hmmm... and Arsenal |
Snake.
07.14.15 | i know how it feels i'm a devils fan and our team has sucked enormous bags of dicks ever since we lost in the SCF in 2012 |
KrazyKris
07.14.15 | ManU > Arsenal
And yeah I know one shouldn't call United ManU, but fuck idiotic fan chants
Also never got baseball. Isn't it even more boring than most others sports?
|
ChoccyPhilly
07.14.15 | not as boring as cricket, i assure you that |
Pheromone
07.14.15 | smh choc |
Snake.
07.14.15 | if you think baseball is boring you're slow |
ChoccyPhilly
07.14.15 | well it's not exactly as fast paced as rugby |
KrazyKris
07.14.15 | Cricket is basically baseball just even less interesting, isn't it?
@Snake most sports are lame to watch, baseball is definitely not an exception |
ParanoidAndroid96
07.14.15 | chelsea fc ! |
Pheromone
07.14.15 | I mean about supporting arsenal lol |
ChoccyPhilly
07.14.15 | no, i find baseball far more entertaining as there's more going on imo |
KrazyKris
07.14.15 | Which is impressive, cause there's not THAT much going in baseball. |
ChoccyPhilly
07.14.15 | dude, cricket is like the only sport where you can be drawing after 4 days |

Trebor.
07.15.15 | Liking a sports team that isn't from your area is pretty stupid tbh |
Snake.
07.15.15 | no it's not because:
1. the metro area that you live might not have a sports team
2. the team in your area might be absolute irreversible shite |
Trebor.
07.15.15 | You should stick to your team whether they're shit or not
Also just pick the team that's closest if you live in montana or whatever |

DoctorDoom
07.15.15 | Yeah, JPP is a sad case. Then again Sheldon just got busted four games for a failed drug test, so I can't really talk. |

08.06.15 | @donchivo
it was a catch |
Donchivo
08.07.15 | @titan: most probably it was. And Rodgers would have torn the 'boys apart one more time if it counted... so no big deal! |
DominionMM1
08.07.15 | my god titan just give it up already |
BigHans
08.07.15 | Football: NDSU Bison - FCS team here in Fargo, have won 4 consecutive National Titles.
Pro Football: Cowboys
Baseball: Twins
Basketball: Used to be Pacers, but don't really care anymore. |
DikkoZinner
08.07.15 | Bison are a hell of a team, watched some games last season. Iirc they had a very close battle in the semi finals.
What's the outlook for them this season, another title? |
BigHans
08.07.15 | Dikko - Its hard to say. The past 4 title teams all had ridiculous, lights out defenses. THat is how they won, defense and pounding the rock. They lost like 9 defensive starters from last year so they will be weaker there. On the flip side, they will probably have their best offense ever and have a legit NFL prospect at QB.
They will definitely be in contention, although the lack of defense worries me. |
DominionMM1
08.07.15 | no hockey for hans? |
