Kansas City Chiefs, Green Day Packers, New York Jets, and Baltimore Ravens for football. I'm not gonna lie, I know smurf all about football and just side with teams whose colors I like. I don't follow the other sports enough to have a team I support.

NFL - Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills (or whoever is playing the Packers/Lions/Patriots)
NHL - My team was the Hartford Whalers but in 97 they moved in are no longer a team. So I root for whoever. Mainly Chicago, Boston and Philly.
All other sports I root for the Boston team.

Basketball - Golden State Warriors

Baseball: NY Yankees. Been a fan since the late 1980's, so I was a fan when they stunk too.
Basketball: NY Knicks. Let's just move on, ok? Also very much loved watching the Suns with Nash and now the Warriors with Curry.
Football: New York Football Giants. Anyone playing the Pats or Cowboys.
Hockey: New York Rangers
Soccer: Liverpool FC. Haven't really followed MLS too much, guess it's the Red Bulls? Though since Gerrard is going to the Galaxy I'll watch them too.
Tennis: Roger Federer

New York doesn't really have any big college teams, so I abstain there.

Take care all.

Football: Bears. *sigh*

Other sports I passively follow. I basically root for Chicago to win. I used to be into baseball when I was a kid, and it is a huge sin to root for both the Cubs and Sox. I take great pleasure in doing that to piss off local people. I was also caught up in the Bulls (basketball) mania in the 90s. It helps when Micheal Jordan is on your team. I used to dislike hockey because I worked in an ice arena and just got burnt out on that culture (as well as figure skating culture), but I have grown to appreciate the Blackhawks and the sport in general.

Football: Tottenham Hotspurs, England (I don't follow football particularly closely, I'm going to make more of an effort this year)
Rugby: England (I used to follow Rugby Union too which would see me follow Saracens or Harlequins quite closely as they were fairly local teams to me)

That's about it, I watch motor sport but don't have a personal fandom for any particular drivers/team though I just enjoy watching the stuff. Particularly I enjoy the WRC.

American Football: Montana State Bobcats always and forever, even though no one knows we exist. :( NFL-wise it's Seahawks because of my Seattle roots, and also dat Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch

Euroball/Povertyball/Welfareball/Footie: This makes me a mega casual but I prefer the big national stuff like the World Cup, Women's World Cup and the like. I'll catch a Sounders FC game if they happen to be on and I'm bored, but everyone knows that MLS is kind of, uh, lacking.

Baseball: ALWAYS THE MARINERS but >tfw you will never be in the World Series http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a109/Pikestaff/smiley/negativeman-55f_zps12bc1597.png

Curling: USA sucks at this so I root for Canada by default. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a109/Pikestaff/smiley/emot-canada_zps95147f77.gif

Horse racing: Whoever wins the Kentucky Derby feckin hell all I want is a Triple Crown winner in my lifetime. this is all I want.

Football (soccer) - Manchester United, Celtic
Baseball - New York Yankees
Female Topless Boxing - No favourites, I just pray the fight goes the distance

Also, I'm very patriotic (which as an Englishman apparently makes me racist or homophobic or something) so I support England in whatever sport they are currently playing.
