Its 5 am and I can't sleep, I was thinking about all my favorite teams that I have seen win a championship Pro Baseball: New York Yankees: 5x World Series Championships; 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2009 Favorite was probably 2000 or 2009. I remember being scared that if the Yankees lost Met fans would hold it over our head for years to come, and 2009 was because I was older and growing up I expected the Yankees to win, and after not winning for so long, it was a good one to watch Pro Football: Miami Dolphins: 0 Championships Out of all my favorite teams, the Dolphins haves been the worst teams for me. Pro Hockey: Colorado Avalanche: 1 Championship; 2001 I know they also won in 96, but I was not a fan of them until 97/98. I loved Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg growing up. I remember watching game 7 like yesterday. By myself watching Joe Sakic hand the stanley cup to Ray Borque Pro Basketball: Chicago Bulls: 1996, 1997, 1998 I was a huge Bulls fan growing up, not into the NBA anymore but growing up I loved MJ, Pippen, Rodmen. College: North Carolina Tar Heels: 2 Championships 2005, 2009 UNLV: 0 National Championships but did see them a MW Championship so 1 Overall I had a good sports history, mainly because of the Yankees, but I need the Dolphins to make it satisfying 11 Total.
Heat (2) marlins (2) hurricanes (I remember 1) I'd trade all of those for the dolphins. I haven't even seen them IN a Super Bowl, let alone win one. One day, and it'll be magnificent!!!
I do think not seeing the Phins yet have made me a bigger fan of the Dolphins then any team I am a fan of. I want it so much more
braves 1 phins nada thunder/sonics nada duke a couple miami hurricanes a couple utep hahahahahahahahaha
Of the big 3 Dolphins - 0 Red Sox - 2 Celtics - 1 Redsox 04 title was glorious. I love the Dolphins more , but it's going to be hard to top that championship. Drama and storylines for days...
Just two HEAT championships. Don't care for baseball, and I wasn't in to UM football untill '05 or so.
I'm a diehard Phins and Tar Heels fan. Of those, the Heels are the only team I've seen win a championship. They've won 3 in my lifetime, I remember watching 2 of them. Watching Jason Williams get a championship with the Heat was great. I loved watching the Bulls win the championships in the 90's as well. But I was just a fan of those teams, not a die hard. I would trade those Heels championships for a Phins SB win though.
Funny how close this is to mine except the Heat thing and I also watched the 1993 UNC Championship. A lot of kids start playing sports at a young age (I did as well), but also seemed to start following teams early as well. I started as a Carolina fan around age 6 and Dolphins fan not far after, so I was watching the UNC and Michigan game in 1993 with all the excitement an eight year old can have and remember the timeout. The next two Heels championships were nice, especially in 2005 because the team had went through some down years and it had been so long since the last title; I mean for goodness sake, we didn't make it into the NCAA or the NIT tournament in 2002. Both the 2005 and 2009 championships though Carolina had a team that was really strong so you expected them to win and once they did you almost took a sigh of relief. For the last ten years I've just listed myself as a Heels and Phins fan, but I did follow other sports and just lost interest as I got older. First sport I ever got into as a fan was baseball, picked up the Braves as I was starting T-ball in kindergarten. So I did get to see the 1995 World Series title, but my favorite player and first ever sports idol was David Justice and once they traded him I was pissed. At age ten it's all emotions, you don't care about all the "it's a business" stuff, least I didn't. I was also a fan of the race car driver Mark Martin and the poor guy just never could get that title. I live close enough I could ride a bike to Richard Childress Racing so everyone was Earnhardt and was annoying dealing with him winning. But yeah, the UNC Championships are nice and I'll appreciate them, but a Dolphins Superbowl is that holy grail.
Dolphins: 0 UCF: 0 Gators: 0 (I hated them prior to being accepted in 2011) Marlins: 2 Panthers: 0 Dr. Phillips High School: Countless State runner-ups in Basketball and Football, but none-the-less 0. Magic: 0 (I didn't get into basketball prior to moving to Orlando, so the Heat were my second favorite team, but since everyone jumped on their bandwagon I can't root for them, unfortunately.)
Dolphins, Mets, Flyers. A big fat goose egg for me. Only the Flyers made it to the championship game/series and lost to the Blackhawks in 2010. Flyers also made it to the Cup in 1997 but that was before I really got into them. Mets made the World Series in 2000 but that was still at a time when I was a fan of players more than an actual team in baseball.
Jeez Fin-O, I thought I was all over the map with my teams. At least my teams are all on the east coast and 2 play within an hour or so from eachother.
my teams are over the map too. I am From New York and the only NY team I like is the Yankees. Dolphins football and Avalanche Hockey. I am thankful that I am a Yankee fan because I atleast had some joy as a sport fan.
easy when you pick all the favorites to root for. In 30 years, I have 1 championship: Atlanta Braves = 1; several championship losses Portland Trailblazers = 0; 2 championship losses Miami Dolphins = ugh Indiana Hoosiers = 0; 1 championship loss
I was fans of all those teams before they won championships, including the Yankees. Went to my first game in 96. The three teams I really care for are Dolphins/Yankees/avs so there's 6 between them that I saw Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Red Sox: 2 Dolphins: 0 Bucks: 0 Whalers/Thrashers: -2 Uconn: 3 I was thinking the other day that no matter what my favorites teams do the rest of the way nothing will top 2004 Red Sox. Comeback from greatest closer ever win game in extra's, comeback again win in 14, bloody sock game, blowout at Yankee Stadium the house that Ruth built. When your team is down 3-0 in a baseball series, it's not over anymore. 2004 Sox will live in history for a longtime.
well, if you contract your teams to Dolphins/Yankees/avs and subtract Bulls, UNC and UNLV from your fav teams, then it seems much more reasonable. When you include all those teams, it really gives the appearance that you latched onto the popular, dominant teams. and...how friggin old are you that you were a fan of the Yankees before they won championships?
I was 6, baseball was my first love, when my grandfather died in 1995, my uncle and my family for real close. He took us to Yankee games and that's how I became a fan. But yeah I always liked Michael Jordan fan, most likely bc of space jam, but think about it any bulls/Yankee fan seen a lot of titles. If I was a bandwagon fan is be a Yankee/pats/laker/red wing fan I never picked my team because they won. Look at you, you picked your team to. Yankees and bulls really skewed how many I actually saw.

Reminds me of when Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan were facing off at Wrestlemania and seemed all my friends were for Hogan (I liked Hogan but Warrior was by far my favorite), and tried telling them the Warrior was going win. Seeing Warrior get the three count and win the title was the most I probably ever cheered after a match, little Starry31 (5 years old) was pretty pumped after that one and I got to tell all my friends "told ya so."
I'm a fan of the Dolphins, Heat and Gators(football and basketball). I was a Canes fan growing up as well, but not so much now. While I know I watched the '72 and '73 SBs I can't honestly say I remember them or how I felt. I do recall the three Heat championships, the three Gator football championships and the two Gator basketball championships. I also recall the UM championship in '83. I really can't say I was Canes' fan for their other championships. But that '83 championship is the only one I witnessed in person (rather than on tv). I also can't honestly say I was a Marlin's fan. I rooted for them the year they won it and had even followed them through the season, but I was casual baseball fan at best.
STL Cardinals - 06 and 11. CHI Bulls - was young for first three but remember a lot of it and was a teenager for the second three. STL Blues - never lol MIA Dolphins - none just recall some of the 90's playoff appearances.
