Me: Atlanta sports teams
Wife's family: Buffalo sports teams

I challenge you all to beat that.

Possibly shortest thread in rant history.

Me: UGA, Atlanta professional teams, Queens fricking Park Rangers.

My Wife: "I don't like sports except for Duke football and basketball."

Duke Basketball is basically the one saving grace in a long line of heartbreak and suck.

I might have the edge, since I personally root for the Braves, Hawks, Buffalo Bills, and Buffalo Sabres.

It almost literally could not be worse.

I was such a big Roddick fan back when he was playing, which meant being disappointed on a much more regular basis than with traditional sports. At least he got one, though.

Cleveland/Minnesota would have to be right up there.

I was a Roddick press conference fan. Andy always gave the funniest sarcastic quotes after losing to Fed.

Yeah, I know. I had a good friend early on in college who was from England and a MASSIVE QPR fan. I followed soccer a bit, especially when the WC was on, but he really got me into it and QPR became my team, too. Horrible decision, but I am loyal to a fault. They are my team and they're on the verge of being relegated to fricking 3rd tier.

I know a dude who cheers for Alabama football, Duke basketball, the Yankees, and the Patriots.

That is more pathetic.

I remember growing up seeing Michigan basketball, Hurricane Football, Cowboy football, and Bulls apparel on the same 'fan'. His twisted head had a reason for each one. I'm guessing 25 years later, his Cubs gear is out (people drive through the North end and come out lifelong Cubs fans).

My agony is die-hard Atlanta/Georgia fan... and my wife hates sports (and loves watching me suffer all year).

No biggie, nice to see true loyalty. I was an England and USA fan for the WC's and always liked John terry as a defender. I asked how I could watch him outside of England and got pointed in chelseas direction. Extremely popular team but I support them.

I'm a huge Bills fan, but I was heartbroken to see my hometown Falcons lose. Back to your question:

Me: UGA grad
Wife: Tennessee grad

Imagine watching the Hail Mary with your wife and immediately considering a divorce. Enough said

My first cousin and her husband are in the exact same situation, except he's the UT grad and she's the UGA alum.

I hate those types of bastards. Are you sure he is not a Cavalier fan too?
