2) MLB - I was a big fan of the Braves (again, only team regularly on TV except for the Cubs). I liked Dale Murphy. Once Murphy retired, and I was busy with college, stopped caring. Second place would be the Astros. Now I don't really care about any team. Maybe I care a little about the Rangers, but the owner is terrible and the team is terrible.
3) NFL - it's always been the Cowboys. But when Steve Young was doing well with the niners, I liked them as well. Again, for me, Cowboys only team regularly on TV.
But in the end, I don't get rabid support for a pro team. I've been to one NBA game, a handful of MLB games, and no NFL games.

I'm not a big pro sports fan either. BYU is the only team I live and and die with. For pro teams for me it goes:
NBA: Jazz. I grew up with them and still follow them in the playoffs somewhat but my interest has dropped quite a bit. I don't follow the rest of the NBA much at all, but I have been known to go to Mavericks games now and then. But I'm not a Mavs fan.
MLB: Never really had a team growing up. I've become a fan of the Rangers since moving to DFW in the late 90s. The Rangers were kind of good back then and I've mostly stuck with them but I don't watch every game or anything like that. It's hard to with the way their owner has totally destroyed them.
NFL: Never been much of a fan. I've been known to follow former BYU players from time to time.
