If I Could Pick Where I Played

Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey. As kids for sure, and even maybe as adults, as fans, we’ve all thought about if we had a choice and were good enough to play a sport, where would we like to play. I decided to bring that idea to life and list where I would have liked to play if I had the 100% ultimate choice.

If I played in the NFL and could choose where I could play it would first be the Dallas Cowboys. The brand, the facilities, and the hate from most would be totally cool to wear that star in the heart of Texas. They were THE team when I was growing up and had the Super Bowl rings to show. I would also like to play for the Indianapolis Colts, LA Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or the Minnesota Vikings. I like locations, facilities, weather, and/or fanbase on each.

If it was College Football it would be my favorite team ever in any sport and some specifically located blue bloods. First would be the obvious if you know me; THE Ohio State Buckeyes. The next in line would be putting me in Southern California which doesn’t suck at USC. Then, the second place my heart calls home; the state of Tennessee to play for the Vols at Rocky Top. I’m finishing up with Texas and Texas A&M.

When it comes to the NBA I’m starting off in Los Angeles for the legendary brand of the Lakers. Next, give me the location and night life of the Miami Heat. I would love to walk into Madison Square Garden and wear that Knicks jersey in front of that crowd in that city which is starving for a winner.

College Basketball would be another favorite of mine all-time. First is the North Carolina Tar Heels to wear that Carolina blue. Back to more blue bloods in the college ranks. Send me to UCLA or Kansas as well. The history, the gyms, the crowds…I’m down!

Baseball was my sport, so this one was a bit harder for me in the MLB, but stuck with legendary franchises that will always have that following from the community on two of these and location on the first. Starting off with the LA Dodgers and followed up in-order by the St. Louis Cardinals, and then the Cincinnati Reds.

Lastly is the NHL for the hockey choice. If I could choose where I played if I was good enough I’d like to play first and foremost in Nashville for the Predators. Next up, the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning, and last but not least it would be sweet to play for the legendary Chicago Blackhawks franchise in the NHL.

Don’t be afraid to share your list with me. I think this would be fun to hear where you’d like to be if you had that option in life.
