LMAO, you like Billards over Hockey, are you like not getting enough oxygen to the brain?. Other than your football choice, it seems like you only follow the teams that win, why on earth would love the Lakers when you aren't even from So. Cal.

Go Sharks, Go A's, Go German World Cup Team :), Go Earthquakes, Go 49ers, Go Kings.
 
Baseball: SUCKS! If I have to pick a team, it would be the T-dot Blue Jays.
Hockey: Maple Leafs
NFL: SUCKS!
Football: Arsenal Gunners, and the England National team
Basketball: Raptors or Mavericks because Steve Nash is my favourite player.
Aussie Football: None, although its much better than NFL. :p

Hell yeah!!
 
Baseball: NY Yankees
Hockey: NY Rangers
Lacrosse: Long Island Lizards
Soccer (I've got a few teams): Juventus (in Italy, my all time favorite), Manchester City (in England), Metrostars (in the US), the US and Italian National teams.

American Football is one of the most boring games on the face of the planet. Same goes for basketball.

Lots of Penguins fans! Rock!

My list:
Baseball: Cubs.
Hockey: Pens. Juventuz, you actually like the Rangers? Why?
Soccer: Juventus. Best Jerseys ever too. Man U was always a fave of mine. And I went through a Chelsea phase awhile back.

Juv, I must agree on the american football comment. And basketball. Basketball is a sport without suspense. You watch the last two minutes and you see all you need to see. Lame!

If you guys think basketball or football is boring, you probably don't understand the sport *_*

You want to see basketball? Watch NCAA Basketball :) You haven't really seen basketball unless you've been to an ACC game.
 
Baseball: Boston Red Sox
Football: New England Patriots
Basketball: Boston Celtics
Hockey: Detroit Red Wings and University of Maine
 
Im a Lakers fan, but since I'm from Indiana, I have to root the Pacers on this year. I've caught a few games this season down at the Dome, which is always fun.

I used to play soccer in high school, which was fun. But watching it on TV has got to be one of the most boring things I've ever heard of. Why is it fun to watch people run around, only scoring a goal once a game (maybe)? I just dont get it I guess...

Bow Down To Washington!

College Football is the only sport worth watching to me. Pro-sports just aren't as fun.

I used to feel the same way, but the BCS has really soured me on college football. I have become a much bigger NFL fan lately (and it doesn't hurt that the Seahawks are finally becoming contenders). I didn't even bother to list my alma mater, whose football games I regularly attended while I was there, because it's not a BCS school. Or, as I like to put it, it's a Division I-B school. :rolleyes:

The BCS exposes college ball for what it really is: an elitist, rigged, racket that brutally punishes teams for minor infractions, applies the rules unevenly, and rips off its unpaid athletes while making millions. It disgusts me completely. At least in pro sports no one pretends not to be in it for the money.

Washington, however, was always the Pac 10 team my Dad and I rooted for (and I almost went there) and I will continue to root for them, but I won't care very much about college ball in any year that the Huskies aren't doing well.

Why is it fun watching guys run around scoring almost every possession? Basketball is boring, IMO, because it has no drama (save for the final 60 seconds).

Watching good football/soccer is awesome. Watching bad football/soccer is down right painful. The MLS is getting better, but international matches and most leagues outside the US offer up nice games more often than not. One thing I love about living in LA is you can always find football matches on the spanish language channels each weekend.

Perhaps a goal in soccer should count 6 points and the scoring team should receive a penalty kick for the 7th point... ;)

I think it’s so popular because almost everyone played it as a kid here in Europe. I agree that many games are boring to watch but there are some good games, too. And when there’s some trophy to win, the game gets thrilling because of this.
 
Sports in order of like-itude :)

1) REAL Football - Buffalo Bills
2)
3)
4) Hockey - Buffalo Sabres
5)

7)
8) Basketball - Memphis Grizzlies (I like that they were from Vancouver and their coach is awesome!)
9) CURLING - Randy Ferbey (best male curling player from Canada)
10) Sumo wrestling - Takanohana (Yokozuna level fighter)
11) Golf - I'm a Tiger fan
12) World's Strongest Man - Magnus ver Magnusson (coolest name ever)
13) Baseball - Atlanta Braves (but as long as the Yankees don't win, I don't really care)

I could do more but, that good enough for now

(I don't watch enough soccer to pick a team and my hurling and Australian rules football knowledge isn't good enough to pick a team)

You can't have 3 club teams to support! Which one do you love watching and support, even if you know that team is rubbish or plays rubbish football? I mean, I love watching Arsenal play, but no matter how hard Middlesbrough FC try and piss me off/ bore me to death, I'll still follow them through thick and thin! 13 years of supporting them, 2 relegations, 3 cup final losses, 3 promotions, and 1 cup win - their first ever in 128 years!

BTW agree with you about American football. Its not really football (I mean, you only kick it a few times in a game - you're meant to throw it!). Plus, its just rugby with a smaller ball, pointless padding (do you "football players" really need all that?), more steroids, and fewer countries playing it properly. Ever wondered why there hasn't been a "World Cup" of American football being shown on the BBC?

Baseball. Rounders with helmets... :D

Mike runs away quickly, before any big people find out where he lives...
 
Arena Football, the greatest sport ever invented: Chicago Rush

National Football League: Green Bay Packers

Hockey: whichever team plays least like a bunch of criminal thugs

Baseball: zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Soccer: Chicago Sting (back in the day...)

NBA Basketball: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

College Basketball: Illinois State University Redbirds

WNBA: call me when they use a regulation adult ball, instead of one designed for 8 year old boys

Olympics: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
 
Not a sports fan, but should stick up for my home teams.

baseball: Red Sox The most expensive seats in the league.

football: Patriots The second Championship in three years.

basketball: Celtics They are in a rebuilding program.

hockey: Bruins They are in a rebuilding program.

Well I've been a Juventino since I was about 4, my dad's a Laziale and he got me into Serie A football. Since I live in NY and have for practically my whole life I've decided to follow my local team when the MLS formed, hence I'm a Metrostars fan too. I started following Man City about 10 years ago when there was a lack of Serie A football around here. So I've been through City being in D1, relagated to D2, then the dramatic playoff final win against Gillingham, back to D1 then the Premiership, back to D1 and now back in the Premiership for the past couple years.

I never have to worry about the Metros playing Juve or City, two different federations and the likelyhood of them playing each other is slim to none.
