I'm a Florida State Alumni (Class of '87). The greatest football rivalry in the country is in the state of Florida. I don't hate the Gators, just their coach. I just plain hate the Hurricanes. If you have FSU players' NFL cards, let me know and maybe I'll buy them. No Deion Sanders, please. I got enough of him.

My favorite pro teams are:
, and AND

I'm also a pro hockey fan. My wife got me into it. Now I'm a Blackhawk, Avalanche, and Ranger fan. In what order, I'm not sure. I also have a soft spot for the Islanders (from the days of Clark Gillies and Billy Smith). I hate Detroit because you can't possibly like Chicago AND the "Dead Things". Besides that, the rivalry between the Avalanche (I will never refer to them as "the Avs") and Detroit is getting quite intense. I absolutely despise Philly because Lindros is a punk.

And speaking of......

Hockey:

Congrats to the Detroit Red Wings. 42 years without a cup is a heck of a long time. I finally figured it out. I hate both Philly and Detroit, but I respect Detroit.

Auto Racing:

The Indy 500 was a BUST. Not only was the race that bad, but anyone who is forced to endure Florence (I really wanna be Ethel Murman) Henderson singing the Nat'l Anthem deserves a Purple Heart. And can you frickin' believe the tackiness of playing a TAPED version of Jim Neighbors singing the "anthem of the inbred" before the race?!
As if the real thing wasn't bad enough.....

NBA:

Well surprise! It looks like the Bulls are on their way to another title. Malone and Co. are good, but not that good. The League MVP will be practicing free throws, but it won't matter as games 6 & 7 are at the United Center. Even with their almost nonexistant rebounding, (Rodman is a virtual bust in the series) the Bulls find a way to win.
Looks like Jack Ramsey was right- Bulls in 6.

WNBA/ABL:

These two women's leagues are hurting themselves by not merging. The WNBA has all the noney. The ABL has some great names in women's hoops.
Will it catch on? I doubt I'll watch it, but who knows?

MSL:

See last line of above.

PRO Football:

Cincinati Bengals defensive lineman John Copeland reported to mini-camp in terrible shape. He couldn't bench 275 lbs!! Can you believe that a STARTING Defensive lineman in the NFL let himself deteriorate to the point where High School kids would be outgunning him?

That is tragic.

The charachter of the game has really changed in the last decade. In general, free agency has gutted teams and left the NFL in dissaray. The teams who can hire the most "mercenaries in cleats" are winning Super Bowl Rings, while the rest of them are left trying to build something and paying for it by hearing alot of BULLSHIT from fairweather fans.
Beware of the impatient New York fans, Bill Parcells.

I'm moving to the Mile High City soon, but don't expect me to be a Bronco fan until after Elway is gone. They got off to a good start by getting rid of those Orange and Blue uniforms.
BUT, I remember what an obnoxious pig Elway was when he stepped into the NFL. He can't carry Montana's jock. Marino is far more classy.
And I won't buy a vehicle from Elway Ford.

College Football:

Mickey Andrews has his hands full trying to rebuild FSU's depleted defensive unit. The good news is the DB's are a year older (and hopefully wiser). The defense will be helped out tremendously by the return of LB Sam Cowart. The bad news is that Wilson and Boulware are not going to be easy to replace. The lack of depth will hurt FSU this season.

FSU's offense will be interesting to say the least. With Warrick Dunn and Rock Preston gone, the running back question is huge. It will help the Noles in the long run, though. They will diversify the offense more this season. Mark Richt will not have life so easy this year. I don't think he's the genius the media has made him out to be anyway. He went to Dunn way too much last year.

I'm going out on a limb and picking UNC to win the ACC this year. Their defense is incredible and their offense is supposedly better.

Why do UF grads hang their diplomas in rear windows of their cars?

So they can park in the HANDICAPPED spaces!

Baseball:

Why do some folks watch it? It's BORING! And why don't these overpaid babies get into the game? I just saw an injury report from ESPN about how a player won't play because of a sore elbow, thumb or a strained calf muscle. BIG FUCKIN' DEAL! I've seen football players who've dislocated their elbows suit up for the next game. Guys play hockey and football with cracked ribs, hyper-extended joints and deep muscle bruises, concussions, etc.
BASEBALL PLAYERS ARE A BUNCH OF PUSSIES.
There. I said it.

Now, I will treat you to some of my favorite sports sites:
