In my controller.rb I have the following code:

@teams = Team.all

Here is some sample output:

<Team id: 1, name: "Eastside", nick: "Bunnies", api_team_id: 3235, created_at: "2013-01-18    
 21:19:24", updated_at: "2013-01-18 21:19:24">
<Team id: 2, name: "Westside", nick: "Turtles", api_team_id: 3235, created_at: "2013-01-18     
 21:19:24", updated_at: "2013-01-18 21:19:24">
<Team id: 3, name: "Northside", nick: "Birds", api_team_id: 3235, created_at: "2013-01-18   
 21:19:24", updated_at: "2013-01-18 21:19:24">

How can I create a dropdown list that will display Team.name and Team.nick for each item?
Also, how can I link_to the team’s respective team.id?

    I think you need to read some Rails tutorials first.

    For the dropdown menu:

    #in your view
<%= select_tag 'team_id', options_for_select(@teams.map{|team| ["#{team.name} #{team.nick}", team.id] }) %>

    About the link_to the team’s show page, I assume you declared your resources in your routes.rb. If so, you should have the 4 CRUD Action (Create Retrieve Update Delete).
    Then if everything is set up correctly, you could do:

    <% team = Team.first %>
<%= link_to team.name, team_path(team) %>
