How many championships have your teams won? (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

Zero (Sabres, Bills)

See, @Galileo, it could be worse.

People are terrible at following directions, aren’t they? Dear lord. 

The college baseball one was my personal favorite.

I’d ask if you were new around here, but I know that’s not the case.

No. I know. And I even stated in the OP that this would happen. It just always blows my mind.

Total 1 (Seahawks)

Not loyal enough to any NBA team for any to count under this criteria.  My favorite team currently is New Orleans and that's been ever since they drafted Zion.

Technically the Dodgers are my favorite MLB team but my interest level in baseball is very low.

In NHL, I usually root for the Canadian teams as a whole.

If we we're counting NCAA BB that total would be much higher (Duke)

 

[Nugget]

Royals - 2 (85, 15)

Chiefs - 0 (Superbowl IV was before my time)

KU Basketball - 2 (1988, 2008)

KU Football - 1 (2008 Orange Bowl)

Sporting KC - 4 (MLS Cup 2013, US Open Cup 2012, 2015, 2017)

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Dodgers - 2 (81, 88)

Bears - 1 (85)

Lakers - 10 (80, 82, 85, 87, 88, 00, 01, 02, 03, 09, 10)

Kings - 2 (12, 14)

 

[ShamrockPride]

This concept is ageist against millennials.

 

[cheese]

I have a slim memory of celebrating the Reds winning in 1990 when I was 7 which is keeping my answer from being a stone 0.

Reds- 1990

Bengals- lol

Pacers- 0

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Orioles - 3 ('66, '70, '83)

pre-move Colts - 1 ('71)

Ravens - 2 ('01, '13)

Bullets - 1 ('78)

Caps - 1 ('18)

 

[jamny]

I only have a faint memory of the Mets winning in '69 as a 5 year old so I won't count that.

Dolphins - 1

Mets - 1

NY Rangers - 1

 

[comfortably numb]

Zero (Sabres, Bills)

At least you have the goo goo dolls

 

[comfortably numb]

Mets 0 

(I started watching baseball on TV late 86 into 87)

Nets 0

Jets 0

Devils 3

 

[comfortably numb]

Change your title from won to experienced or celebrated. Problem mostly solved.

He said you gotta be a fan for at least 10 years. Take the L, fam. It's okay.

 

[apalmer]

He said you gotta be a fan for at least 10 years. Take the L, fam. It's okay.

Now, if you were like me and the Phillies won the first year you started watching baseball, that's still acceptable because I eventually was a fan still ten years later.

[apalmer]

No Yinzers yet?

Pirates - 3

Steelers - 6

Penguins - 5

NBA - who cares?

 

[[icon]]

Grew up on MA and RI border. Really just started getting into watching pro sports in 83-84, watching with my pop. 
 

Mid 80s was a nice run with some horrible disappointments sprinkled in (86 sox, 85/86 patriots) 

That I remember: 

Celtics: 3 (F the 85 Lakers) 

Red Sox: 4 (F the 03 Yankees) 

Bruins: 1 (F the 13 Hawks & 19 Blues)

Patriots: 6 (F the Giants in general) 

So 14 titles in about 35 years of sports fandom of teams purely from my home city... albeit heavily concentrated recently.

90’s weren’t ideal.

Pirates - 3

Damn, didn’t know apalmer was a geezer

 

[[icon]]

Man, some of you aren’t very bright  

 

[Fantasy_Freak]

Bucks: 0

Brewers: 0

Bears: 1

Blackhawks: 3

 

[Mjolnirs]

Zero. (pro big 4)

Vikings - technically the 1969 NFL Champions, but I was 5.
I don't follow MLB, NHL or NBA

I will follow the Braves if they make the post season, you have to in this area, it's all you see.
I was actually in Atlanta the night they won the World Series in 1995, that was pretty exciting.  We were with a group from my work going to see the Falcons v Cowboys the next day.  My wife is a Cowboys fan.

You didn't specifically say pro sports, so I could add 2 for the South Carolina Gamecocks winning the College World Series in 2010 and 2011.
The Gamecocks won the ACC in football in 1969, but as stated above, I was 5.

Excluding soccer nerds is a big hit.  My soccer numbers would make the count jump considerably. 

 

[Stoneys]

No Yinzers yet?

Pirates - 3

Steelers - 6

Penguins - 5

NBA - who cares?

However, if we are only counting while I was aware:

Pirates - 1 (5 total)

Steelers - 4 (6 total)

Pens - 5 (5 total)

NBA - 

 

[apalmer]

Damn, didn’t know apalmer was a geezer

9 weeks from retirement, baby.

 

[Kal El]

Lions- 0

Lightning- 0

Michigan football- 1(1997)

Don't really follow basketball or baseball anymore.

 

[ChiefD]

Royals - 2 (85, 15)

Chiefs - 0 (Superbowl IV was before my time)

KU Basketball - 2 (1988, 2008)

KU Football - 1 (2008 Orange Bowl)

Sporting KC - 4 (MLS Cup 2013, US Open Cup 2012, 2015, 2017)

Exactly mine, other than I was technically alive with the Chiefs won their Super Bowl. (I was 6 months old).

It counts. 

 

[ShaqAttaq]

1984 tigers

1989, 1990, 2004 Pistons

1989 UM basketball

1997 UM football, kinda

 

[Dentist]

Royals - 85, 2015  (2)  -  I was 8 when they won the first one, so I loved it and got to goto game 1 (still have the ticket).. but didn't truly appreciate it.   That 2015 one I absolutely cherish and appreciate (got to attend game 2).

Chiefs - not in my lifetime (1 overall)

No NBA or NHL and my college didn't have D1 football and have never made the NCAA tourney in basketball

 

[spOOfy]

also from philly so i have your phils in 80 and 08 and sixers in 83 and eagles in 18.  technically i was alive when the flyers won in 75, but i was an infant. 

not the 4 major sport leagues but i was a season tickets holder for the Philly Soul arena football team from day 1 so I saw them win in 08 (in person), 16, & 17 (in person).  also partial ticket holder to the Philadelphia Union soccer club and 0 there.

 

[cheeseypoof]

Wait... what?

My original post only calculated the total titles for the reference teams since I had been born (13).  

The post you were questioning was the total the teams have one all time (25).

 

[IrishTwinkie]

From deep in the heart of Patriots Nation....

New York Football Giants: 4

Pre-strikes: Yankees 2 (as a wee youngster)

Post 2000 after moving to the Hub of the Universe and semi-forgiving/forgetting the strikes: Red Sox 4

(By way of explanation of the obvious contradiction: I detested the strikes and all baseball fandom was completely obliterated for a considerable time. Even now, at best, I am only a half-hearted baseball fan. Very unlike the live/die every play fandom of the Giants. Which means these days I am dying on the regular)

No, the post I was questioning was the one claiming THREE MLB teams as your "favorite."

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

For the teams I follow closely, with my favorites listed first.

Total: 13

Red Sox (4), Phillies (2), Cubs (1)

Dolphins (2), Eagles (1)

Flyers (2)

Sixers (1)

Teams I follow closely: All of them.
 

So I guess I win every year really. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

7 for the Yankees in my lifetime (although for the first two I wasn't really a fan yet)

1 for each of the Jets and Knicks in my lifetime, however I was too young for either one to really count

1 for the Rangers

My Seton Hall Pirates made the championship game and lost in OT due to the stinkin' ref gifting Rumeal Robinson the winning free throws

I mostly root for pathetically bad teams :(

 

[Sideshow Bob]

For the teams I follow closely, with my favorites listed first.

Red Sox (4), Phillies (2), Cubs (1)

Dolphins (2), Eagles (1)

This is the point at which I object to everything about this thread.

 

[bryhamm]

I know there will be a ton of people who don't read this and just post "My Yankees won 359 of them."

And I'll still find that funny if it's shtick, so by all means, go for it.  

But I'm wondering how many teams of the 4 major sports (sorry soccer nerds) that you rooted for have won while you were a fan.  A couple of stipulations.  You had to have been a fan for at least 10 years of the team.  So if you just became an Red Sox fan last year, that one doesn't count.  Now, if you were like me and the Phillies won the first year you started watching baseball, that's still acceptable because I eventually was a fan still ten years later.  I'm just trying to figure out how many championships most people get to celebrate.

I have 5.  The Phils in 80 and 08.  The Sixers in 83.  The Eagles in 2018.  And the Astros in 2017.  I thought I was in a drought, but I'm thinking 5 might be the average.  I'm sure there are people with more, but I'm guessing people with less, too.

Why?  I became a Lakers fan specifically because Magic Johnson joined them.  You want me to not count all their trophies they won in the 80s?  pfft

 

[bryhamm]

Steelers - 4 (1979, 1980, 2006, 2009)

Lakers - 10 (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)

Cardinals - 2 (2006, 2011)

Blues - 2019, baby!!!!

 

[urbanhack]

1 -

White Sox - 2005 World Series

Vikings = 0

Purdue Basketball/Football = 0

 

[Doug B]

New Orleans Saints - 1 (2009)

New Orleans Jazz - 0 (left town when I was in third grade)

New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans - 0 (one WC Finals appearance)

...

I rooted for the Baltimore Orioles for most of the 80s after some of my cousins in Maryland sent us a bunch of cool team swag when I was a kid. Didn't quite make it to ten years of invested fanship of the Orioles, though.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Steelers - 4 (1979, 1980, 2006, 2009)

Lakers - 10 (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)

Cardinals - 2 (2006, 2011)

Blues - 2019, baby!!!!

'82?

 

[-fish-]

Lakers - 11

Dodgers - 2 (but I've gotten to watch them lose in the world series live twice)

Rams - 0.   Quit being a fan when the left LA, so the championship they won in St. Louis doesn't count.

Kings- 2    Not really a  big hockey fan, but I've been to a few Kings games and they're the only team I ever actually followed.

 

[-OZ-]

Detroit Tigers (1) 

Detroit Red Wings (4)

Detroit Pistons (3)

Kansas Jayhawks (1)

 

[-OZ-]

Royals - 2 (85, 15)

Chiefs - 0 (Superbowl IV was before my time)

KU Football - 1 (2008 Orange Bowl)

Sporting KC - 4 (MLS Cup 2013, US Open Cup 2012, 2015, 2017)

Huh? If we're counting bowl games we need to count the 359 Jayhawk big XII championships

 

[bryhamm]

'82?

according to wiki:

Championships16 (1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)

Sorry, didn't know what you meant when you only put up a year.  I didn't become a Cardinals fan until I moved here in 2003.

Good job leaving the lions off.  No reason to list a big freaking zero.

 

[E Street Brat]

I see you made it ten years and not twenty so the Pat fans can play along....

 

[cheeseypoof]

Oh that.  Red Sox fan.  Follow the Phillies as the home town team.  Cubs have sentimental value as they were my late wifes’s favorite team and they won the WS the year she passed.
