| Okay, so about three or four months ago, I decided that I needed to pick myself some teams from each of the major professional sports, each of the big four (at least the American big four). All of my friends are sports fanatics, and so I figured if I kept up on at least one team in each sport, every once in a while I could throw out a random comment. So anyway, I picked my teams somewhat randomly, based on some connection I had to them "emotionally", for lack of a better word. Keep in mind, I had no idea which teams were any good in any sport, because I didn't follow sports at all.
So in the NFL, I picked the Bengals, because when I was little, I always thought they had the sweetest helmets (and I still do). So, that probably wasn't the best pick I could have made... but hey, when they win the Super Bowl twenty years from now, I can be one of those fans who can say they've been a fan since they were the worst team in the league.
Then in the NBA, I picked the Cleveland Cavaliers. When I was little, I thought Mark Price was [i:post_uid0]the[/i:post_uid0] man. So I went with them. And while things aren't exactly promising yet, we do have King Lebron (which I knew nothing about at the time), and in a few years, he could be amazing.
Then in the MLB, I picked the Cardinals, because I went to a few Cardinals games when I was younger, and the Oz autographed a ball for me. And I'm fairly happy with that choice, they're a pretty consistent team.
So finally, I picked the Avs for the NHL, because I went to a game there last Christmas and I bought myself a stocking cap. So I figure if I own the hat, I should be cheering for them. And so it seems that they have a pretty freaking amazing offense this year. Granted, they lost Roy, but from what all the sports analysts are saying, their offense might be one of the best assembled in a long time. And they still have Blake among some other on defense.
So anyway, I know there are some hockey fans in here... what do you think the Avs' chances are this year? |
