My sisters in laws are from Detroit and we spent many a summer day at coamerica stadium and naturally like the tigers plus they have Miguel Cabrerra who was a favorite marlin of mine.
My dad growing up in the 60's used to listen to red skins games that were broadcasted down in Miami and so we have followed them ever since
NFL: Dolphins (although my interest in them has lessened over the last 10 years or so with their 'wonderful' front office. MLB: Marlins (really excited about them this season and I'll have to attend a game sometime this summer when I come down). NBA: Heat (although I lost interest in the NBA once the lockout started, so I never watch any games)
MLB - Yankees (family is from New York and I'm carrying on the tradition of the Pinstripes)
NFL - Titans (Fell in love with the Music City Miracle team of Eddie George and Steve McNair and rooted for them since)
NBA - Trail Blazers (Was a fan in the late '90s, then wanted to get back into the NBA, so I hosted a mock "The Decision" where I let callers suggest teams for me on my old school's radio show. Ended up just sticking to my old team).
Elsewhere - Huge supporter of USA hockey (nearly all my favorite players in the league were on the '10 team) and USA soccer. FAU for all college.
I'm not really a fan of the other pro leagues so much. I love my Gators for everything else not hockey (and for hockey too!).
I used to be a Heat fan circa before the strike and I follow the Marlins a little when they make the postseason but that's really it. NFL, I tend to watch the SB for the commercials.
Soccer: USA National Team / Manchester City (been a fan since they won the League One playoffs against Gillingham)
Huge soccer and hockey fan, I follow these NFL/NBA/NCAAF but I really wouldn't consider myself a "fan" because if they lose or win I really don't care lol.
I follow handegg, basketball, and baseball about as much as I follow professional ping pong...but of course I support all the local teams no matter what sport..although actually when the Heat played Dallas in the finals last year I rooted for Dallas lols
I'm a huge Florida Gators fan in everything especially Football and Basketball.
Soccer: Real Madrid, Toronto FC, Arsenal, Liverpool, Poland International Team
I lived in England for a few years when I was a kid, and one of our neighbors was a HUGE Liverpool fan. He gave me a Liverpool scarf as a gift and I was an instant fan. What can I say? 8-year olds are easily influenced. Moved back to the States and lost track of the team.
Great to see so many soccer fans on here, great minds must think alike!
I'd kill for more US National team games down here, the one against honduras was great. Hopefully MLS will eventually come again with all our sports teams deciding to do well.

Im also a big Liverpool fan. Have a scarf hanging off my wall with a Liverpool Champions League soccer ball on my shelf . I also have two jerseys. Gerrard of course on one of em. Love that guy!
I cheer for Real Madrid in the Spanish Primera simply because they are Barcelonas biggest rival and i ****ing despise Barca. So I became a Madrid fan by default
NFL - don't care, don't like Football...but especially don't like the "New England" (read: Boston-area) Patriots.
NBA - don't care, don't follow basketball except for March Madness and then only for my bracket Went 4-for-4 in the play-ins, btw Not bad considering my picks go like "hmm...I think I've heard of this team more than that one"
MLB - don't really follow baseball either, passively root for the Mets since that was my first Little League team.
OT part:
NASCAR - was a Dale Earnhardt fan, so I haven't watched or cared since he died 11 years ago.
Soccer (aka Football) - you're joking, right? I'd rather watch paint dry...after all, it's usually done drying quicker than a soccer game ends.
College Hockey - Vermont, naturally.
