The first team I really grew to love and to call my favorite team are the Florida Marlins. I moved to Florida when I was 5 years old, and that was the year the Marlins were in the playoffs. I was just starting to watch baseball on TV and they were the team I followed and I went to some of their games. I grew to love them, despite many horrible seasons but they did eventually go on to win the 2003 World Series as well. I have followed the team all my life now really, and still continue to go down and see them play even though a moved 6 hours away.

I have started to root for my new home team the Tampa Bay Devil Rays but whenever they play each other, I root mostly for the Marlins but it doesn't hurt too much if they lose. The Marlins have been really who I stick with because I've watched them all my life. Since I live in Tampa I naturally root for the home teams and have grown more to their liking as well. This includes hockey, and football.

Really the surroundings really got me going on rooting for my favorite team and the more I watch them, the more I tend to root for them. Although I never really rooted for the Miami Dolphins when I was down in West Palm Beach, probably because I wasn't really interested in football at the time.

CRONULLA SHARKS

I have gone for the Cronulla sharks since I was born. For those that don't know, the Sharks are a rugby league team, and compete in the Australian NRL. They were formed in the 1960's... I think :S Many greats have past through the club, including E.T, Steve Rogers, and others. This season, we have not been doing very well, currently place 11th on the ladder. We are currently situated in a 4 game losing streak. Our home ground is Toyota Park, Cronulla, and our team colours are blue, white and black. Although we have never won a premiership, and not known as a strong club, we are full of pride.

RUGBY UNION

In rugby Union I go for the Wallabies and the NSW Waratahs.
The Wallabies are the national Rugby team of Australia. Our team colors are green and gold. We compete in the tri-nations (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) the Bledisloe Cup (Australia, New Zealand) and the World Cup. The Wallabies have the world record amount of World Cup wins with 2, 1991 & 1999.

The NSW Waratahs currently compete in the Super 14's competition, which a competition with 14 other teams (refer to name) from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Their team colours are blue and white.

I am a cheesehead as well ... I enjoy the Packers and support them no matter how they are playing ...
I am also a Brewers fan, a Badgers fan and a Razorbacks fan ... I support the teams in the area I live but will always be faithful to the Wisconsin teams as I grew up there and have spent most of my life there ...

I really like(d) the Newcastle Knights, a local National Rugby Leage (Australia) team. But after the Andrew Johns scandal, I stopped supporting them.
Andrew Johns was a really good player, but the team wasn't all that great, but they tried hard, and I like them. But when Andrew Johns was found out to have taken drugs, that was sad. Very sad. Now I don't like any NRL team.
