Is sommmmmmmmmmmmeone asking ME this question?

Well, my favorite to play is ANYTHING! But football really. It's hard for me to, like, understand plays! People always make fun of football players for being stupid, but damnnnnn. And actually, my favorite favorite is Softball. I love all sports! However, baseball has become highly underrated which makes me sad. :(

My favorite to watch is just . . . You shouldn't even have to think about this one. (Baseball, for the mentally challenged.) It amazes me. Well, not really AMAZES but every time I watch ANY baseball game (collge, high school, little league with talent, MLB) I never leave! I become attached and this, girlfriends, isn't good.

baseball is a great sport to play or watch, but it's not as good as it used to be.  i mean with all the steriod crap, and how it's like a monoply with how the teams that pay the most win the most.

but i still love my Cardinals.

You know what I JUST found out today!? I was talking to my grandmother, and I have a tendency to talk to her and assume she knows what I'm talking about. But anyway, I was talking about the Yankees, and she was all, "Your Grandfather a big Yankees fan. He thought they were the greatest thing since . . ." whatever. But I'm clueless as to why I've never known that. It's great, though.

Football (the "soccer" kind)

I once saw an Indian sport on TV called Kabadi (or something), which looked like it could have been more fun, but I'd need to see it again to make sure. As I recall the rules: There were two teams of three overweight indian guys and they had to try and tag each other while holding their breath. The other team had to pin them down until they had to eventually breathe, then they were out. Great stuff.

You seem to be confusing classic teams with a tradition of success (and I would consider BOTH the Dodgers and Yankees as teams like this) as ''bandwagon.''  If you call a team that has been around 100+ years ''bandwagon'' what do you call an expansion team that wins 2 World Series in 6 years?

And would you call it ''bandwagon'' to be a Yankee hater?

You fail to understand what a bandwagon team is.

A  bandwagon team is one that you cheer for SIMPLY because they win and/or and it is cool to cheer for them.

See, you should cheer for a team for a real reason.  1) You grew up cheering for them because of your family 2) You grew up near where they play 3) You live NOW where they play 4) You are somehow associated with the team via a job or friend 5) Your favorite college player is there now 6) You graduated from that college etc etc etc.

I admit to being a Lakers fan.  Which is very bandwagon of me.  But I also can claim I jumped on the Lakers bandwagon in the 80's because I grew up a huge Magic Johnson fan.  Which means I have been grandfathered into being a real fan now.

The MASTER bandwagon teams are the Lakers, Yankees and Cowboys.  If at any time a single person cheers for all three of those teams they must IMMEDIATLY be killed by any person around them who actually likes sports.  Liking 2 of the three is still grounds for dismissal from all sports related discussions.

Ok, lets set the record straight...I've been a Lakers fan since I was in elementary school.  Always watched every game.  You could call it a family thing, but it mostly had to do with school.  When your teacher fails you based on the loss of the Lakers, you tend to root for the team, you know?

As for the Cowboys, they were never that good anyways, they just happened to get a good coach and a few good players and are finally doing well.

And the Dodgers...I mean come on...I'm in LA!!!  How can someone in LA not like the Dodgers?? They kick!  I hope they continue to play well.  Plus you can't beat the ticket price of a game for them....It's crazy!!

Holy shit.  That's the silliest thing I have ever heard someone say.  Have you ever heard of TROY AIKMAN?  EMMIT SMITH?  MICHAEL IRVIN? SUperbowl champs in '93, '94 AND '96?  The only reason they lost in '95 was running into a little team known as the SF 49'ers who had a few good players named Jerry Rice and Steve Young.

The cowboys of the 90's were on of the three biggest football dynastys in history.  They are called America's team for a reason.

Trying to say "they were never that good" is like insiting that Lance Armstrong is overrated or some such nonsense.

Lakers are forgiveable.  You live there.

**EDIT**

I've since had two bikes stolen after making that post, and I am not likely
to have a replacement any time soon, I'm changing my fave to play as...

Ten-Pin Bowling. The best part is no one's likely to steal my ball (I've had
3 bikes stolen in the time I've had it), and my recent average is ~ 172 (in
real life and in the couch-potato/Wii version). My highest score is 250  :P
