hometown has some to do with it definitely. some of it is from your parents. both my mom and dad are big browns fans... its no stretch that i like the browns too. some people pick a team for whatever random reason when they are a kid. i know a kid who started liking dallas when he was like 6 because he thought cowboys were cool. i always liked motorsports when i was a kid. i liked football too. never played because i wasnt big enough. did play baseball and basketball, and enjoy watching them on TV... football though, is my favorite sport by far... once i started to understand how the game is played, the different strategies and stuff, i really started to enjoy it on a whole different level. its so much more than just running with a ball too... the things some of these players do is nothing short of amazing. sometimes, if you are lucky, you get to witness something amazing happen... like the play (
)or lebron just going off in game 5 against the pistons and scoring 29 of the last 30 points...
