Boston Red Sox, and to a lesser extent any other team that plays in Boston.

Why? I'm a Yankee fan, no other explaination needed.

Duke: I can't stand how Dick Vitale and Jay Bilas cannot make it through a college basketball game or SportsCenter segment without mentioning how great Duke is.....even if the team is having what would be considered a down year for that program.

Boston Red Sox: I'm a Yankees fan.

i root against syracuse because there is this guy at my school (i go to duke) who always cheers for syracuse, even at duke games. Such a loser. I actually dont really hate unc, i have a lot of friends there, but of course i would rather see them lose against duke. I really dont like NC STATE, they are a bunch of non-classy rednecks :) at least the tar heels have class.

dont like the yankees either

The Colorado Avalanche... I don't think I need to explain the reason to you, Michael. ;)

I grew up in the Washington DC area and everyone there hated Dallas. Before a Dallas game, the Washington Post would have an anti-Dallas column on its editoral page. But when I moved away for college, I was able to appreciate what a good football team they were at the time.

Exactly, but especially USC and Washington State. Also, I hate the Yankees, Michigan, Ohio State, Miami, the Raiders, the Cincy Reds, don't give a rat's ass about hockey or hte NBA. Oh yeah, Alabama's football team and all their other teams, and I especially hold a special place in hell for the Georgia Bulldogs.

MLB - The Yankees, for obvious reasons
NFL - The Raiders and Buffalo
NBA - Who gives a crap anyway?
NHL - Red Wings
