I moved down here when I was 8 years old, I loved hockey and hated that there was none here, not even on tv. I made my mom’s life hell for a couple of years about “there’s no hockey here, we can’t stay...”. Fast forward to 1993, The Panthers brought hockey back to me and I have loved them and supported them since the day they were founded. Even through the years of suck and incompetent ownership after Mr Huizenga sold the team. My family came from the Buffalo area, I still consider the Sabres my second favorite team, but it was impossible to ever follow them down here, and as I explained above, the Panthers became my team.
I am a Bills fan, changing allegiance to the Dolphins is never going to happen. Even if I live here another 45 years. But, my interest in football has waned over the years.
I haven’t really been into baseball that much since I stopped playing after high school. It bores me on TV. I still enjoy going to games, but getting down into Miami to see one isn’t worth the traffic hassle to me. Not to mention the shit the Marlins pulled on their fans and the tax paying citizens to get the new stadium in Miami also makes it hard to support them.
I’ve never, ever given a shit about basketball.
Hockey rules.....always has, always will.
