Where do the Fins rank in your personal hiarchy of spots?

1. Miami Dolphins
2. Miami Heat
3. Iowa Hawkeyes
4. UNI Panthers
5. SF Giants
6. Chicago Cubs (out of pity for my family)

1) Dolphins
2) UCF Football
3) US Soccer team
4) Miami Heat
5) Bolivia Soccer team
6) Panthers and Marlins

I have a few more teams I like but dont follow any like the top 5 of that list. Dolphins will always be my number 1 but UCF is a close 2nd, especially with the season they put together last year. The US Soccer team gets better each world cup and soccer is growing in America, I hope they can eventually win a world cup. The Heat are the only ones on the top 5 I saw win a championship (Unless you include the Fiesta Bowl) and not only once but 3 times. And I was born in Bolivia and will always cheer for them but the Dolphins have a better shot at winning back to back Super Bowls again than Bolivia has of qualifying to a world cup.

You must really hate Atletico this year

Nah, huge respect for them, they truly deserve all their success and I have nothing but respect for them. Real Madrid though, different story...

As far as sports goes, the NFL is #1 in my book as well. Love it. It's in my blood. But, other sports are big for me as well even though not as "high" in ranking. But, in terms of "teams" I live and die with, the Dolphins are basically 1b. Near tie but have to put them right now at 1b. I would definitely take a week off and probably tear up if they won a SB. :)

In my rankings, I'm going to put individuals from individual sports (Golf, Tennis) and also rank teams:

1a. Duke Blue Devils
1b. Miami Dolphins
1c. Phil Mickelson

4. NY Yankees
5. Roger Federer
6. LA Lakers
7. Buffalo Sabres

Sports:

1. NFL
2. NCAA Basketball
3. Golf
4. Tennis
5. European Futbol
6. MLB
7. NHL

(though a Laker fan, not much of an NBA fan).

2. Detroit Red Wings
2. University of Michigan Football
2. Toronto Bluejays

I don't understand myself, I guess being so consumed with the dolphins since I was 6 I've never been able to generate an affinity for another team in any sport.

The only time I felt a great rooting interest and genuine care was USA soccer in the World Cup 4 years ago.

Football is the main sport I follow 24/7. No offseason for me, as I'm constantly monitoring NFL Network, NFL radio, and various Podcasts. I've been a Dolphins fan since childhood. NBA (Miami Heat) is next, although I don't really follow the league in the same way I do with the NFL. With Football, I watch all the Dolphins games, as well as many other teams play. With Basketball, I'm only into following the Heat. Baseball bores me to tears. Can't get into Hockey, or Soccer.

Got the idea from a MLB board that I post on, when I ruffled a few feathers by saying that although I love my MLB team, my NFL team (the Fins) will always be #1 in my heart. It got me to thinking that although a lot of us probably assume that most here are hardcore NFL fans, perhaps some people are only casual football fans, and would rather watch baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, or nascar.

For me, the NFL is the easy #1. I'm a 365 day fan. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Fins are the 3rd most important thing in my life after my family and my health. If forced to, I would easily give up all other sports rather than the NFL. In fact, if I could watch the NFL, or all other TV, I'm choosing the NFL.

After that, while I love my MLB team more than my college football team, I would much rather watch a random college football game not involving my team than a random MLB game. So, its kind of a tie for second.

I now watch no other sports beyond that. In the 90s I was a NBA and college basketball fan, and even tried to get into hockey one year, but it just wasn't for me.

I used to watch baseball and football about 50/50 until the baseball strikes of the mid 90s that included the canceling of one World Series. That experience soured me on baseball in general, and now I only follow the Reds, though not to the degree that I did in the era of the Big Red Machine. I had no sympathy for the baseball players during their strike, so fault them for the cancellation of all those games and the playoffs including the series. They are so damned overpaid compared to football players, when a damned middle reliever can make more than a Pro Bowl linebacker.

Don't worry, we'll give you back Fabregas and then you'll love us again. Can't do anything about Messi killing you all those times, but oh well...

My personal dream is to see all four of my favorites win their respective titles in the same season.

During the early 70s, the Dolphins and Reds were both annual title contenders, so that was pretty sweet. The Reds won a couple of world series but not exactly the same years as the Dolphins did their Super Bowls. IIRC.

When it comes to Spanish football, I loathe Messi and worship the ground Ronaldo walks on. I get that it's like Sox/Yankees, though.

It's much worse than Sox/Yankees. It's not only sports and city rivalry, but you've also got political and cultural ramifications. That rivalry is hardcore.

Now that the Fins have changed (somewhat ruined) their uniforms, I think that the Mariner's have the best in sports. I absolutely love their aqua alternate, especially over the navy base layer/socks.

Absolutely. Just trying to compare it for those that don't follow soccer.

I just think Messi is a scumbag. There was that whil tax evasion thing. Then he charged a butt load for tickets to his "Messi and friends" tour in the states and be would make a 10 minute appearance before being lifted. Also heard stories about him snubbing fans at signings.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo pays for kids' operations and gives a lot back. Then you've got the skill, the hair, the style, he's got it all. I love how he made his kid in a lab. :lol: no woman was good enough to mix with his genes.

You can't take all that stuff about Messi literally, just like all the bad stuff about Ronaldo cannot be take literally. Just like the rivalry with the clubs, the press on each side is equally hardcore and they don't have same journalistic principles and same libel and slander laws there are in the US. The press for each side is constantly attacking the other with lies and truth manipulations. It's pretty disgusting.

1) Dolphins
2) Miami Hurricanes
3) Miami Heat
4) Hawaii Warriors

I have a friend who is a Steelers, Yankees and Devils fan, since 1995 his teams have won 10 championships. Then I have a friend who is a Jets, Mets, Knicks and Rangers fan and in the same time period his teams have won zero. Life can be so unfair to some people.

Hurrah! I have company in the "third" option. Cheers to you!

1. Dolphins
2. Mets

Everything else is just noise.
