Cheese, this is totally off topic but since we've veered off topic and it's off season, hopefully ya'll won't mind.Quote:

lol well I started liking the Packers when i was 8 years old. My family is from Chicago and i remember them always hating the packers so i used to root for the packers every time they played the Bears lol. Then as i got into football more and more i just stuck with them. I remember the game against the Bengals when Favre had to come in when Majkowski got hurt and he led them to a come from behind victory. After that i was hooked.Quote:

The Diamondbacks and Suns are because i live in Arizona and i've been to a lot of their games. Its is also the reason i root for the Arizona wildcats as i previously stated. A lot of people want to call me a bandwagon fan but i am 28 years old now so i have been liking all these teams for 20+ years lol.
Yeah that's a good one too.Quote:

The Mavs because when sir Charles retired I stoped watching basketball and when he was telecasting a game he said he really likes Dirk so I went with that and got back into the sport.
The devils because when I was young (5th grade or so) I really liked their symbol so I just grew up following them.
Seahawks because I live near Seattle and I don't really have a fav football team.

lol yeah that would be weird to see. Not really sure if there is enough room for both of them to come in or if there are any teams that would move to Honda or VWQuote:

I always thought going to a Seahawks game would be great fun-- their fans really get that stadium rockin' and rollin' at times.
I dunno, I think that'd be the straw that broke the camel's back for me.Quote:

I've had people say to me before, "You're just afraid they'll win." No, it's not even that. I just don't want to look at 'em. Don't wanna have to hear about 'em, deal with 'em, see 'em, none of it. I have always liked NASCAR because of its southern roots and its redneck aesthetic. If that changes, I'll just go watch local tractor pulls, dirt track, etc. I'd be sad about NASCAR becoming that "international", but I'm also aware that NASCAR itself would love nothing more than to be a truly international sport, so we shall see!
There is always the NHRA! Another personal fav of mineQuote:

Lol you really think Hendrick would leave Chevy for Honda? I just don't think any teams would make that move specially since Dodge was having a hard time to get teams to go with them.Quote:

Absolutely! And we have a local drag track here as well.Quote:

NASCAR figured, "Oh well, they'll adjust, and if they love NASCAR they'll come anyway." They apparently totally forgot we have so many local tracks we could spend all our time and money there and not go to NASCAR races at all, if we really wanted to.
Suddenly, the stands started bein' empty. Bristol and 'Dega were lookin' like Tombstone Arizona. That's when NASCAR started realizing that you can only push fans so far, and then you're shootin' yourself in the foot. Maybe when all of us are dead who remember how NASCAR started, and how it used to be are gone, they can turn NASCAR into a bunch of asian and euro-sedans, but until then, they're still stuck with us rednecks, and I think they know very well that they've been riding a long time right out at the edge of pushing too far. And if there's one thing they don't want, it's empty seats.
