Yep, Royals too. KC all the way since mid 80's. NC didn't have NFL team when I was a kid so had to pick someone. My Dad is a Skins fan and I like them alright but wanted a team to call my own. I've tried to pull for the Panthers, but it's hard... God awful colors and uniforms, Newton ( : ), Nascar fans, etc. I have liked some of their players - Sam Mills, Steve Smith and Luke Kuechly off the top of my head.
Hey OldSchool I was born in Maryland and also pulled for the Skins but more so an Orioles fan. My mom and brother are big Skins fans and O's fans. Just wondering, before NC got the Panthers did you guys get the Skins and Orioles in that region on TV as the local games? Skins on TV and Orioles on cable. Just curious. I do remember VA and NC bring big Skins country growing up.
Skins were carried on TV in NC before the Panthers, one reason my Dad and a lot of other diehard Washington fans strongly dislike the team of the Carolinas.
While growing up in the Bronx I used to live pretty close to Yankee Stadium and would always root for the Yankee's and the Giants at the Polo Grounds.The Dodgers used to play at Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn.The manager back then was Walt Alston.Back during those days I never heard of a fan falling down out of the stands. Now just a day or two ago a fan fell out of the stands and got killed.I usually sat in the upper stands but not near the front railing.I never seen any accidents at the Stadium.
Old school dropout: those chiefs looked really good this weekend. Who is your team and how did they do? both my Dolphins and Falcons won.
Hey Red, Your boyfriend Tommy is the best ever!!!! and that is coming from a jealous Dolphins fan. My Dolphins lost and the Falcons won.
Both of my teams in baseball are out this year but hope springs eternal so maybe next year. Go Orioles and Braves!!!
I'll second that, Fly Dirty Birds! I can't stand Dallas, love watching new cracks appear in J. Jones face when things don't go according to his plan.
Nice comeback by Atlanta, Dallas Chokeboys at their best. Falcons and Bengals have been two teams that have my attention and may have been a bit underrated this season.
Hey oldschool, was happy for the falcons but those panthers and cardinals may be for real as well. As a lifelong Dolphins fan, i am in mourning but my kids are on cloud nine with the Falcons. Hey Red, Tell your boyfriend Tommy to take it easy on the rest of us. -------He's the best ever and that is from a jealous Dolphins fan.
Oh the Cardinals have been for real, they just didn't have a QB worth .02 last year in the playoffs (among many other injuries). I'm sold on Arians, love to see Mike Glennon (who is riding the bench for Crablegs Winston in Tampa Bay) end up somehow as Palmer's back-up / eventual replacement. I watched him in college sling it and he would fit that offense perfectly.
Tommy was on fire Sunday!! Gets a rest next week then on to Dallas wonder what that score will be....
My other boyfriend. Aaron Rodgers is also right up there on my list of great human beings as well as great athletes. He is exciting to watch love him too!
My wife is a Packers fan for one reason, because she has a crush on Aaron Rodgers. I think she knows she has no shot at Tommy because Gisele is in the way.
I'm a Chiefs fan but still was just at some of Rodgers plays the other night. That guy is sick, I think he is the best QB now in the game. I remember watching him at Cal as a Sophomore (telling my age again) thinking "this guy is going to make some franchise very happy someday". He is a very charitable person, seems to be very balanced too. Hey Bulldog, Olivia Munn ain't too bad on the eyes either...
Excuse me BD but I am the one in the way not Gisele!! Speaking of great qbs another one is Drew Breeze awesome on and off the field!
