NBA:
Lakers - just because
Sixers - no, not really, this is the only Philly team I can stand, since the Steel City isn't a (professional) basketball city
NFL:
Eagles - I HATE everything Philly except Rocky and Ben Franklin and the college friends I have that hail from there
Cowboys - with help from Neil O'Donnell, they deprived Pittsburgh of One For The Thumb
Browns/Ravens - Whether they're the new Browns or the old Browns, Cleveland still sucks
NHL:
Flyers - again, can't share the Commonwealth, and they're in our division
Avalanche - mostly because my former-best-friend-and-ex-girlfriend is infatuated with them and I can't tolerate that, and they suck
MLB:
(Damn) Yankees - once they put a salary cap on baseball, let's see Steinbrenner try to buy a team and the nation's heart then
Phillies - notice a trend?
Braves - 1992...
College Sports:
Notre Dame - I hate, I hate, I HATE Notre Dame...let's see, how did
warrrreagl put it...

Yea, pretty much. I hate the special football treatment they get with NBC and the BCS. I hate that they play basketball like part of the Big East but play football like they were God's gift to the NCAA; you're either in you're not, not frikking half and half (see: Temple). I hate how Regis Philbin promotes them, I hate the movie Rudy, and I just plain hate the little fighting leprechaun, an Irish mascot for a school with a French name. Oh well.
Penn State - I hate the selfish media coverage in my adopted hometown area of Johnstown/Somerset, where Penn State reigns high and mighty, and Pitt makes the second page. Ok, Ok, so I don't hate Penn State as much as I used to, since we don't play Moo-U anymore in football and their basketball team isn't doing too hot right now, but I really hate how Pitt's hatred of Penn State (i.e., shouting "Penn State Sucks" at every major football and basketball event, regardless of who we're playing) has embarrassed "The Powers That Be" at Pitt so much that the beloved breakstrain to Pitt's "Victory Song" was removed two years ago and shows no sign of returning. So maybe Penn State isn't so bad, but there's something about the colors blue and white and the abscence of gold that makes me want to puke.
MARQUETTE - We're coming after you next season.
Sorry to ramble, that's all folks.
