Also, for myself, for the most part I adopted all the local teams of where I lived at the time, Colorado. No one in my family is really big on sports, other than my mom who's a Pats/Red Sox die hard but doesn't really know much other than those teams.

When my interest in sports picked up by playing football at school I started watching and recording the games on TV, which of course were always Bronco games. I loved watching Elway, Davis, Atwater and Romanowski. Now, like you when I started watching was during the '97-'98 season, Denver's first Super Bowl win. But as a 9 year old kid who had to teach them self EVERYTHING I didn't really comprehend stats or win/loss records at the time and knew nothing of the history of the game. Hell, to me Super Bowl XXXII was just another game. Until the next year anyway, when I understood waaaaaay more.

Rockies fan by association of going to a Sky Sox game on a field trip in 5th grade. Had a friend and teacher attempt to explain minor leagues to me, for the most part failed but that's how I learned about the Rockies.

Avalanche, when they were on, I watched. Never really got into hockey, football consumed me. But when the season starts I'll pay attention to the Avs scores.

Nuggets, didn't really give a damn about basketball until I moved to Texas. Spurs fans annoyed THE FUCK out of me, so I had to pick a team to counter them. Went the old local way and picked the Nuggets, but they were pretty terribad at the time and could never get a game down here back then.
