. . . about our favorite teams. Most of us grew up supporting a team in a sport we connected with, and usually a 'home' team - the one closest to where we lived. I'm from southern California, which plays host to several. Some were truly great: UCLA basket...  

my is the Chelsea Foofball Club . I got this memorabilia in 1985 after I watched a game between Chelsea and Manchester United, Live in London England. Regards Edward ...  

. . . with the vanity plate N U F C. I asked my cousin, who graduated from Cranfield, if that signified a British football team. He said yes. "North Umbria?" "No, you idiot, Nottingham United!" :-)

that make us feel like that.:) Thanks Art Regards Edward

Celsea edition! :) HAGWE Blomman

Art, Here we play football and my team is the São Paulo Football Club a.k.a. "The Sovereign". (This is an old picture from our first world championship - Our symbol, you guessed, is Saint Paul, our city name) Three times Champion of the World (yes, the en...

I was forced to shoot quickly, as the bugs kept running for the end zone.

. . . the Pats would be the team I'd latch onto. They are the real deal.

Our daughter was born in Dallas and we lived there 9 years. The Cowboys were my team since I was 9 and I was shunned living in my childhood on CT. Favorites were split between NY teams and Boston. But I love a winner and the cowboys were consistent winner...  

. . . America's team . . . . . . no doubt about it.

I inherited my soccer club. For the first 15 years of my life, they did nothing but lose. Just avoiding relegation on so many occasions. But, for the last 20-30 years, it has been different..... winning reasonably consistently.....pain and glory along the...  

One of favorite books about sports Arsenal Till I Die and IMO Highbury was most beautiful and cosy football Stadium in world HAGWE dear Joe P.S. Are you sure about your post title? :) :)

. . . all about it. I watched this game at home, on my own. A good thing, 'cause if I'd been in a bar, I'd have thrown a bottle at the TV. Following year, the Raiders went to the Super Bowl, but lost. The magic was gone. That's when I drifted away from th... 

Aeroscope! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...  

I can only go so far.

Over here, football is the team sport to watch and as most I kind of inherited the local team which when I was a kid was in fact very good even played internationally in the European leagues. Nowadays, don’t even remind me, it’s devastating. Of course, I ...  

And your watch! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...  

Watches as well....! ;) Best Blomman ...  

I wouldn't notice a polar bear running through that picture... :)

. . . there is a team I follow in a lower profile sport. Team USA is going south lately, though, having lost consecutively since 2010 to Team EU. Art

HAGWE all! respo ...

Better times for the Fightin' Phils. Sigh. respo

Abel, Out of my memory, I believe that Fangio was the only common sportsman that Argentina and Brazil shared. I'm also from the 50's and I read his feats on our magazines and newspapers. Cool guy, from the times that a car racer was a true "macho". Well d... 

Among his many feats, J.M. Fangio held the title of 5 times winner of a World Championship of F1 (all won in the mid to late 1950´s) till the year 2003 in which Michael Schumacher displaced him from this honor. You are right, those were far times with a v... 

Well said, Art. I was born in Oakland and my last name sounds very close to RAIDER. They were the team I followed the most. Even though we live in Southern California. But then they lost the plot, and we moved overseas and life changed. Since my wife was ...  

. . . every 'damn, he should've been a Raiders quarterback' list. Remember this . . . . . . Miller Lite ad?

Mrs C was in a nationally-shown public service announcement video with Dan Fouts. It was shown for years. The NFL was promoting the Y where my wife was fitness director, and she and another coach and Dan appeared in it. Can you find that one? And while yo...  

. . . UCLA star player was being seated two rows behind him at the Raiders - Chargers matchup in the Coliseum back in '84, and still having to crane my neck to watch the game! The other guy? Haven't a clue. Basketball was never my sport.

he's a poster child for orthopedic surgeons - 38 times under the knife. But he still had time to ride his bike(s) built by Bill Holland, another friend, and catch approximately 600 Grateful Dead concerts - a man after your own heart!

Tennis.... Then she quit.... Now I am more into sports watches! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...
