Do you use your favorite team as your miniature football team ?

[jeff]

I am not using my favorite team in our league and I am having a big problem playing with a passion. I find when I when I use my favorite team I am into the game alot more and really try my best.
Don't get me wrong I still try to do my best with my current team, I am just not fired up at game time.
So the question is do you use your favorite team and do you think it makes a difference ?
