Growing up in Fresno, there weren't any professional home-town teams. Closest was the Niners/Warriors/Giants/A's, I guess.
Suns - My oldest brother is a Suns fan and I used to watch games with him back in the early 90s. Fell in love with them, their style, their players, etc.
Braves - Same bro was a Braves fan, and it was really easy to fall in love with them, being on TBS basically every day and all. Chipper Jones is my favorite athlete in any sport, ever.
Texans - Never really had a football team despite following the game every year, loved the logo and the name when they were announced, figured it was a good idea to just jump in with an expansion team. Since I'm from Fresno, when it became apparent that David Carr was going to be the #1 pick, it just sort of got cemented.
Sabres - Used to play with them in older hockey video games, didn't get into hockey full-time though until a few years ago. High-octane offense, hockey city, great goaltending, etc.
Pretty interesting though that these teams have taken on my personality. I like guys with strong work ethics, values on high character, etc. Unfortunately, bad luck is always a problem with these teams. I can't even begin to count the instances. These teams are pretty similar in that neither of them are teams that always win championships. The only one that has a ring is Atlanta in 1995, and before that it was 1957 when they were in Milwaukee. Once one of these teams wins one, it'll be extra sweet.
....so yeah, there's that story, lol.
