I love to watch the Eagles and the Phillies lose, but I love the Flyers... go figure.
As I was raised a Red Sox fan, I am quite familiar with curse lore, but unlike most of my relatives, I saw the long overdue Series win as an invitation to stop watching professional baseball completely.
After breaking two fingers on a door jam in 1986 (I thought it was going to be a nice "soft" drywall, but I drunkenly missed and connected with all wood) and boycotting baseball right up until the best year, I can truly say that I am completely over watching baseball.
Similarly, as a Redskins fan (I have seen them play at the Vet perhaps a dozen times in my life and I have never seen them win a game there!) and an avowed Cowboy hater (America's Team -

), I can root for the Eagles once in a while (NFC East!) but I have pretty much decided to boycott professional football also.
First, I boycotted that sport until Deion Sanders was out of the game completely and now, I just don't care about football. I don't even know who's on "my team" anymore or where any of the expansion/relocating teams are from.
Go Flyers!
