Broncos safety T.J. Ward might have spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Cleveland, but that doesn't mean he'll be cheering for the Cavaliers when they tip off against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals on Thursday. 

As a matter of fact, if Ward's newest tattoo is any indication, he'll probably be hoping the Cavs get swept. 

If it isn't clear by the photo, Ward's huge new tattoo sits underneath his armpit on his left side. There's a lot of blue in the background of the Warriors logo, I'm guessing that hurt. 

Ward was born and raised in the Bay Area and went to high school just 20 miles from where the Warriors play in Oakland.  

Besides getting giant logos tattooed on his body, Ward also likes to tweet about Golden State, so you may want to follow him on Twitter during the Finals. 

Also, Ward will probably be enjoying this series a lot more than most of us because it's what he wished for in May.
