If did an NFL "Metro" division of Giants, Jets, Eagles, Patriots it would be insane.

My fiancee went to Alabama, while her family went to Clemson. Her father got me a Clemson sweatshirt first so the decision was made for me.
That...might be the most dangerous division concept I've ever heard. People gonna DIE.

I love English Premiere League and my club Liverpool had a great season, would've been ecstatic had we won the league and European championship. Thanks to NBC picking up EPL I have spent more and more watching the league as a whole. In the old days I would go to pubs carrying the team on satellite or watch it online on some illegal stream. When the Islanders were trash I completely stopped watching and invested my time more and more into LFC and the Yankees.

Basketball - ive been a fan of the Lakers since I was a kid in the 80s. However I despise Lebron and never wanted him on my team. Real Lakers fans dont want him either. I hate Golden State but will never root for Boston, I legit have only watched barely a quarter of the NBA finals thus far. I expected the Suns to win the west and face the Bucks. I was wrong on both.

I have been fans of the same 4 teams since 1972 when I was 6

Mets ever since I saw Jon Matlack 1-hit the Astros

Giants since they got Craig Morton as QB

Islanders since inceptions

Nets since the Coliseum/ABA Days

As for the Rangers, well I do find myself not necessarily rooting for them, but not wanting them to fail any more. For some reason their team is likable enough and they have a journey against teams like Pitt and TB which as an Islander fan are more rivalry like over the past few years. So in hockey, I don't like the Flyers these days, seems they are my issue and all the Philly teams. Less the Sixers because they have 2 of our AAU players on their team but Philly ugh

And if Uranus had a hockey team, I root for them to wipe the Ranger's butt
I've laughed at over 1000 Uranus jokes, each time like it was the first time I heard it.

My wife has learned not to look at the night sky with me.

I’ve been rooting for the Devils since 1982, when they moved here from Colorado. They are my 2nd favorite team. Though they are tough to follow now due to the ear piercing voice of their current play by play guy, he’s just awful. I literally can’t watch them for extended periods of time.

Yes he is bad but I read that he stepped down as their pbp guy.

Another Broncos fan! Nice.

Started following them when Elway first got into the league in the mid-80's and stayed loyal since.

Same re Elway. Used to have a Cowboys shirt as a kid, no idea where it came from and was number 33 from memory, and used to watch NFL highlights in Australia. Elway captured my imagination so Bronocs it was!

But do you support the Brisbane Broncos in NRL? Became a follower of several Australian leagues over the years and I follow South Sydney in NRL, Carlton in AFL and Perth Glory in A-League (Due to a one time guest of the ESC from OZ who supported them).

New York Giants and Arsenal accompany the Isles as my true sports loves

I pay attention to but don’t watch as often to: USC football, UNC basketball, Yankees, Nets

Actually don't have an NRL team.
When i was a sports reporter I used to do all the Perth Glory games. Best one was the final where they led 3-0 at half time in front of a record crowd. Manager high fived fans as they headed for sheds. Even hugged a policewoman. Then they lost on penalties!
