Why I am a fan:

I grew up in Cowboys central around Dallas. The first game I remember watching was the Niners vs the Cowboys in the NFC championship game. My dad loved the Boys, so I went the other way just to be different.

About Me
98% Complete Bio
Like most of the rest of you I'm a huge sports fan. I love college hoops, boxing, pro hoops, international soccer, the NFL and MLB. I really don't care much for college football, it's pretty lame until there is a true championship IMO. I'm a lifelong Duke Blue Devil fan and San Francisco 49ers fan. Since I've moved to AZ, I've started liking the Suns. I grew up around the Texas Rangers and I'm not a huge fan anymore but I still claim them as my team more than any other. Team USA soccer is great, my favorite player is DeMarcus Beasley and I've been to several Team USA games. Looking forward to South Africa in 2010!

Teams
Cory
Hates
| North Carolina Tar Heels | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Come on, do I even really have to say it? I'm a Dukie! |
| Players I Hate: | All of them except Jordan. |
| Connecticut Huskies | |
| Why I Hate Them: | 1999 - Jake Voskul led Huskies beat Duke in the championship game. Also, I really hate Duke haters who hate Duke and Coach K for winning when Calhoun has won just as much as Duke. Why isn't there hate for UConn? |
| Players I Hate: | All of them |
| Dallas Cowboys | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Damn the Cowboys! 49ers would have won at least 2 more SB's if it weren't for Aikman, Irvin and Smith! |
| Players I Hate: | Guess what, all of them. |
| Arizona Cardinals | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Fans suck so bad. I really don't hate the team, but the fans are total losers, complete bandwagon fakes. Couldn't even sell out a playoff game against Atlanta w/o begging people to buy tix and then you go to the SB? Lame. |
| Players I Hate: | You got it, all of them. |
| San Antonio Spurs | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Cheaters, liars, and almost ruined the game with their stupid slow down, foul like hell style. And busting Nash in the face, knocking him down and then getting Amare thrown out for doing the same thing Duncan had done earlier in the series. |
| Players I Hate: | Tim Duncan and not only b/c he played for Wake. And yeah, the rest of them can go to hell too. |
| New York Yankees | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Do I even need a reason? |
| Players I Hate: | Every single one of the bastards. |
| Mexico | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Arch rival! USA! USA! USA! |
| Players I Hate: | Jorge Campos.... and all the rest! |
