#3 \| 139 days ago Disciple (+)	I almost always have a routing interest against one of the teams, & I usually just hope for the stadium to fall through a big gaping hole in the earth! If one of The Teams is playing a Team I hate I will always root for them

#7 \| 135 days ago ML31 (+)	I find it is more enjoyable if I have a rooting interest. So I try to find a reason to root for one team or the other. I am pulling for the Pens in the Finals because I am sick of seeing the Wings be so good every year, for example. If one of The Teams is playing a Team I hate I will always root for them

#8 \| 125 days ago YankeeDudeL (+)	Depends. Everyone loves an underdog, I'm no diff. But it also depends on the situation. Like if a team has never won a championship, or hasn't in so long. Of course, it may just be a team I don't care for, or whatever. OTHER

#11 \| 118 days ago bboymaestro (+)	I love to compete and I love to watch other teams and people compete. I just grew up with a competitive nature. I guess you could say I really don't "have" a team, it is usually the team I live closest too, therefore, I get to see the most. I will never get into a fight (verbal or otherwise) over sports. However, it is still fun to talk about. I think it is funny when I wind someone else up about a team or player. People need to relax a little bit when it comes to talking or playing sports and just simply enjoy it for what it is worth; a competition between two very talented people or teams. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Love An Underdog

Even though I absolutely despise those teams (depending upon who they are playing)- I would back them in certain circumstances. In fact, last season, after the G-Men beat my Boys and got to the Superbowl- I cheered for the G-Men! Love An Underdog

You have an argueement that your team is 2nd best. Yes

But that was not the case for the '97 & '03 Marlins, the '02 Angels and '04 Red Sox. All of whom were 2nd best in their own division. If one of The Teams is playing a Team I hate I will always root for them

We were talking about losing to the SUper Bowl Champs, not where you placed in the division. Love An Underdog
