Little bit of a "fluff" topic here. No important reason why I'm asking this, just some fun curiosity.

Has there been moments during a show or an interview where a personally mentioned being a fan of particular sports teams?

For example: I know from various interviews (and in a moment during his failed talk show) that Pat Sajak is a big Chicago Cubs fan.

Any other examples of hosts or celebs mentioning a sports "allegiance"?

Well, Rolf Benirschke was a big fan of the Chargers, but I don't think you'd be in a position to know that. ;)

Vin Scully likes the Dodgers and Dick Enberg the Angels. Joe Garagiola, the Cardinals, among others.

Last I checked, Jimmy Cefalo was somewhat of a Dolphins fan. Lynn Swann, the Steelers.

He wore a Canadiens sweater on an episode of Card Sharks during the Game Show Host tornament in 1980.

I do remember hearing/reading/seeing on a TTTT ep that she knew quite a bit about sports in general.
