MikeJordan23 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 The Yankees - Hate their fans, hate the owner, and don't like most of their players That's the only team I "hate" Broncos, Chiefs, Cubs, Nets, Astros losing doesn't bother me though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 Nowadays because of their asshole coach I hate the Falcons, but I generally hate on the Yankees for taking advantage of the worst salary system in sports, but that's another argument. I hate the Dolphins because I love the Bills, I would hate the Vikings but I love Randy Moss, and especially how all the people that think he has a problem are the ones with a problem.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 The Yankees for spending 200 million dollars a year and always winning the AL East, the Raiders because that whole badass thing is so gay, and the Oklahoma Sooners solely because of our friend Damaramu.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 I guess I should have done my own, rather than just posing the question to you all ... NHL: Avalanche (because I lived there, hate their fans, and think that the Nordiques shouldn't have left), Rangers (because of their bandwagon fans), Flyers (because of Brashear, mainly, and Clarke; their beligerent fans don't help) and Devils (for the fucking trap). NFL: Packers (because the media's need to toss Favre's salad), Broncos (again, because I lived there and was forced to watch their games each Sunday) and Cowboys (only because of Bill Parcells is coaching them ... once he leaves, I'll stop hating them again). NBA: LA Kobe's ... I mean Lakers. MLB: Yankees (I sound like a broken record, but I hate a lot of their fans) and Nationals (fucking-a, why did the Expos have to leave MTL?)

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 The Rams just because I dated a girl who's dad loved them and when he found out I didn't care for them he was an asshole to me until I dumped her and I haven't seen him since. I wanted to go over to his house last year and imitate the Michael Strahan/Cowboy fan commercial and just yell "How about them Panthers? I said how 'bout them Panthers!?" I don't like the Yankees for obvious reasons. I don't like the Lakers for obvious reasons. I'm not to fond of Duke b/c of the Dickie V bj's. I don't like The Broncos at all and I can't explain why. I just don't. I don't like Ohio State and I can't really explain that one either. Something about them rubs me the wrong way. I don't like Texas A&M b/c well......I just don't like those fuckers. While I was rooting for the Big XII in the bowl games I was taking a deep seeded pleasure somewhere in my heart watching them be dismantled by Tennessee. And well......I can't think of may teams that I just out and out hate like those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 -Toronto Maple Leafs I think there's some rule where if you follow the NHL and you're Canadian you're not allowed to be indifferent about the Leafs - you must either love or hate. Anyways... I pretty much hate any New York City team not based in New Jersey. Aside from that: Football: Buffalo Bills Dallas Cowboys Hamilton Tiger-Cats Basketball: LA Kobes Charlotte Bobcats (because the name sounds like a WNBA team) Whatever team Karl Malone is on Houston Rockets (McGrady + Mutombo + Ewing (even though he's only an asst coach) = major hate) Baseball: All of 'em Hockey: Carolina Hurricanes Vancouver Canucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 The Colts: I don't like teams who always have an excuse why they lost and it is never the fault of them. I used to dislike the Yankees but not as much anymore, it just seems like it has become the cool thing to do. The Eagles: Because their fans around me have become more obnoxious than Cowboy fans ever were, even back to the "HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!" yelling days.

Guest The Gecko Report post Posted January 11, 2005 NHL: Colorado Avalanche, because I'm from the Detroit area, and I'm a huge Red Wings fan, so its in the cards. NFL: Green Bay Packers, because they are division foes (Lions fan) and ESPN calls Brett Favre GOD every 3 minutes. Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, because mainly I'm a big fan of offense and I HATE teams that are all defense and can't move the ball worth a damn, so I'm starting to warm up to the Bucs with Griese at the helm.

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 MLB: Braves- Division rival. Sell out a playoff game once in awhile. Mets- Division rival. I don't really hate the Mets since its hilarious to listen to WFAN and hear their fanbase propose all of their shitty "trades". NFL: Giants- Division rival. But I probably respect them and their fans more than the next rival I'll list. Cowboys- Hate their team(especially the convicts of the 90s), and their "fans" even more(not the ones in Texas who are the true fans, but rather the frontrunner pieces of shit in the area I live who jump on and off more bandwagons than ESPN and root for teams like the Yankees and Lakers as well.) Jerry Jones is pretty high on my hate list as well. Packers- I hate the media obsession with Favre and their constant blowing of Lambeau Field still being this place that road teams can never win at despite the recent playoff losses there and the Eagles winning there on Monday night last year. NHL: Devils- Especially for beating the Flyers way too many times in the playoffs. Rangers- Division rival, and its funny to watch them throw $70 million in their payroll and miss the playoffs each year. Maple Leafs- Have become a good rival for the Flyers. NBA: Celtics & Lakers - Both rivals of the Sixers dating way back. Especially the Lakers since I despise Kobe with a passion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 How could I forget the Cowboys? I think the fact that they've sunk into medicority has caused me to not so much hate them anymore but just not care about them since they are no threat to the Eagles anymore. And I would've said USC on this list about a month ago.....but god damn I respect that entire program now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 MLB - Yanks, mostly for their fans. Braves...I have nothing against them I guess, but I find myself rooting against them more often than not...I respect Bobby Cox and Leo Mazzone for being arguably the best coaching tandem in baseball.

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 NFL: I hate the cowboys because they are the 'Skins biggest rivals. Also the rest of the NFC East is pretty high on the list. I would also say I loathe the 49ers/Raiders for the fact that I live in their territory. MLB: Yankees, for pretty much the same reason as everyone else. The Red Sox, for duping suckers into thinking they are anything more then Yankees-lite. Also I can't stand the Mariners. NBA: Lakers, well I am a Kings fan. I also not high on the Sonics.

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 I used to really, really hate the Pacers and Heat, but those rivalries are pretty much under the bridge these days, completely different teams now. Only Riley is still there in Miami, but I never disliked him, just his players. I can't say that I really passionately dislike any team like I did those two, but at the moment I respectfully dislike the Colts, Steelers, Eagles, Lakers and Red Sox. I'll also root for just about anyone against the Spurs, I'm still pissed about the 99 finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonzaga - No one in town gave a crap about them until they started making the tournament, now all of a sudden everyone here is a lifelong fan. The sports segment of local news during college basketball tends to be "Gonzaga played today. Here are complete highlights and the score. The end."
