Now at heart, I am a Yankees, Giants, Knicks, and Rangers fan (grew up in Long Island), but outside of my core teams I like to see these other teams do well

Baseball: San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers
Football: Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers
Hockey: Toronto Maple Leafs, LA Kings
Basketball: Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs

who are you a secondary fan of?

i live and die by the Dodgers, Rams, Knicks, and Devils...but secondary teams would be:

baseball: Orioles, and any team Eric Karros plays for
football: Dolphins, used to follow closer than the Rams till they fucked over Marino...and now the Kurt Warner-led NYGiants

Basketball: I cannot under any circumstances root for anyone but the NYK
Hockey: Leafs and the team Brian Rolston plays for

NFL - Broncos are my favorite but I lived in Dallas for a few years when I was younger so I also like the Cowboys.

I college football, I went to Colorado State, so obviously they are my #1 (not a good year to admit that though). But I was raised a hardcore Nebraska fan so they are definitely 1a.

I don't really follow any secondary teams from other sports. Growing up in Denver, all my favorites from the other 3 majors are from there.

I am a big time fan of the Braves and Marlins but I also follow the Dodgers and Oakland A's. My Mom grew up a huge Dodgers fan so that is where that came from.

I'm an Arsenal and England fan, north of the border I have a preference for Celtic, but seeing as I don't even watch their triumphs I wouldn't call myself a Celtic fan.
