My childhood teams

1) Cincinnati Reds - Started with 1975 Reds/Red Sox World Series. Have stayed with them through all these years

2) Philadelphia 76ers - Loved Dr. J as a kid. Stopped rooting for them about the time they got rid of Barkley. Have never really embraced an NBA team since then.

3) Dallas Cowboys - Lived in Texas as a kid in the early to mid 70s. Stayed with the Cowboys until Aikman/Emmett were gone and the collective bumblings of Jerry Jones and Switzer/Meshawn/Parcells/Pacman/Owens and so forth are just too much for me to root for them any more.

So I'm left with the Reds, who have sucked almost continuously since the 1990 World Series. I don't have an NFL or NBA team I really root for anymore and I spend more of my time with NCAA football and basketball.
