Hello everyone, new Sox fan saying hi here from Los Angeles. I'm a bit of a oddity that I like most Boston teams except for the patriots. So for basketball I root for the celtics, for hockey the Bruins, and for baseball Red Sox. But for football, I root for Chicago. I do wonder sometimes if that's strange, especially considering I was born and live in California near LA. But I just never liked LA teams that much. I guess I'll root for dodgers if there in playoffs and the sox maybe are not.

 

Anyway, hope to get to know you all a bit more.

Welcome.

 

Why do you not like the Patriots? Or do you just like the Bears?

 

I don't hate the patriots. My brother is actually a pats fan. It's just, I already am kinda tied to Chicago (have apparel and in the past I did switch teams, so if like to stick with one) and I feel if I did become a pats fan if be a bandwagon fan and I don't want that. Also, I just really like Chicago. I love their history and I actually even met and got Jim McMahon to sign my hat. So I'm pretty wedded to this team I think, ha ha.

 

But for some reason I started just watching Boston teams for other sports. If I wasn't a Bears fan I would be a pats fan though.

I live in Arcadia Nick......You anywhere close to that? Welcome aboard.

I live near Pomona. In a town called La Verne.

 

The thing that sucks about rooting for non home town teams is that you can never find the games on TV.

 

Also, it may seem weird that I root for one city's teams, but not for every sport.

We're all weird. It don't matter. I just came back from a weeklong stay in the West Virginia mountains, so I'm especially weird right now.

Hates the Pats, likes the Bears. Good man. I guess I can even overlook the Bruins part.

Welcome. I am a Brooklyn, NY born lifetime Red Sox fan. And don't believe Kimmi. She' s as twisted as the rest of us. Otherwise, she would not fit in.

I spent a lot of time in Seal/Huntington Beach when I was younger. I kept waiting for a quake to send Orange County out to sea.
