| Shit, I almost lost that first post, I'll hurry up with the rest.
-Pittsburgh Penguins. Again, I wasn't into the Bruins.. It's funny, I just didn't like their uniform if that makes sense. I thought it was hideous. So I was watching hockey without a team during the 1990 season, and of coure The Great One was at the top of his popularity, so I didn't want to side with him. Too many Gretzky dick riders.. So I'm watching Sportscenter and Super Mario comes on, and I decided that I liked him instead. This coupled with their uniform (I was big into Penguins when I was younger) brought me to be a fan of the team.. Just my luck again, they went on to win two Stanley Cups and were pretty solid throughout the decade. I'm still a fan even though this past season I didn't get to see all that many games.
-San Francisco 49ers. This one is a lot easier. The 1st football game I ever watched was on Monday night and if I'm not mistaken it was the Niners against the Saints. I'm watching with my Uncle Bill and I cn tell that he's rooting hard against them. I believe it was the 1989 season, could have been earlier.. I didn't no crap about football, but I knew he didn't like what was going on.. I was a little bastard and took pleasure in his misfortune so I rooted for the team, which was the Niners and they ended up winning the game. A couple months later I would learn that his favorite team was the New York Giants and he despised the Niners.. So without knowing much about Rice, Montana, John Taylor, or anyone.. I started to root for them as kinda a running joke and they turned into my team again to this day... This also came in handy as my father was and still is a big Cowboys fan so we spent many days sitting in front of the television yelling at the screen during the annual Cowboy/Niners meetings. |
