As you know, you have my list of the "Most Depised" teams. So, let's flip the page and see what teams are my favorites...and yours as well. Comment on my list and post yours as well.
1. The Buffalo Sabres...I've always been a fan. I remember sitting in front of the Aud back in the early 1970s, skipping school, to buy tickets. I am not a band-wagon fan. I was a Buffalo hockey fan in the "old" days of the AHL when the Buffalo Bisons were the team.
2. The Buffalo Bills...I had season tickets in the "Rockpile" when I was 9 years old and still am a die-hard fan. The past few years have been lean, but I still think they'll go 16-0 when the season starts.
3. Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos....I was a long-time Expos fan when I was a little tyke and had my dream-come-true when I worked for the Montreal Expos for three great seasons doing public relations. I still love the Expos and just changed my favoritism to the Nationals. Same franchise...just a new name.
4. Ole Miss...aka Mississippi....I always liked the name and thought I'd go to Ole Miss one day.
5. St. Bonaventure...how can you not like your alma mater.
6. University of Buffalo...They are trying to make a name for themselves in Division 1. Reggie Witherspoon has done great on the basketball side, hopefully Turner Gill can do the same for the football team.
7. San Diego Chargers...I always loved the "bolt" on their helmet.
8. Florida Marlins...A recent addition to my list. I love the underdog and the true grit and hustle showed by their team.
9. Los Angeles Kings...Gotta love a west coast hockey team. Once again, the uniform got me liking them in my younger years, when the Purple and Gold were the main colors with the big "Crown" was on the front.
10. Rochester Americans...The hometown boys always put on a good show. The players in the AHL are always hungry and give 100 percent in hopes of getting a call to the "Big Show".
