How did you decide what your favorite teams are?

giants...my dad is a huge fan, and he's been taking me to games for as long as i can remember. if i have to watch baseball, he's also the reason i'd root for the yankees more than anyone else, but if the yankees moved or something i wouldnt care. my dad doesnt like basketball, though, so i chose the knicks on my own basically because the nets sucked and ewing was incredible (and they were local).

for secondary fan teams, i tend to attach myself to up and coming teams, or players/coaches i like. this year, i saw the chargers turn into a halfway decent team, and i was pulling for them. plus, i had brees, tomlinson, and gates on my fantasy teams. last year, before the season even started, i was rooting for the panthers because of john fox (greatest defensive coach in the league) and peppers, who i feel is a phenominal athelete.
