As a San Diego kid and big sports fan growing up, I got to see the Chargers in their only Super Bowl at the age of 8, and ever since I have bled powder blue and gold. The Chargers of old, like Junior Seau and Tony Martin dazzled me as kid and then as I learned to appreciate the cerebral part of the game, Philip Rivers and LaDanian Tomlinson showed me how to be elite. I will forever be in love with this team, for better or for worse
Basketball is my favorite sport and the one I stuck with longest in high school. The Clippers, also from San Diego in 80s, moved up to LA and continued to be the laughing stock of the league until Chris Paul showed up and made everyone take notice. But there is another team I root for...
My grandfather, who has rooted for the Lake Show since the franchise was in Minnesota, would rightfully disown me if I didn't love the Lakers too. Kobe Bryant was an icon and the best role model a kid could ask for growing up, and watching him achieve his dreams was inspirational
Its hard to say I have one favorite WNBA team as I find myself rooting for a different squad with every game I watch.
Growing up in San Diego meant seeing games mostly at Petco Park. The Padres are just like the Chargers and Clippers, giving just enough mediocrity to keep me hooked on them!
Other stories will pop up here and there, but overall these will be the main teams I plan to follow.
