Haven't had one of these in a while. Well, two categories here: Favorite Sport to play and Favorite Sport to watch.


Sport to Play:

1. Basketball - With the resurgence of the Bulls lately, I've really wanted to play some BBall but unfortunately *looks outside at blizzard and foot of snow already* it doesn't look like that'll happen anytime soon.

2. Ping Pong - Oh yeah baby, Pong it up.

3. Badmitton - Underrated.

I suck at everything else, so.


Sport to Watch:


1. Football - Playoffs, yum. GO BEARS, no matter what. Next year, their Defense will dominate the league.

2. Baseball - Go Cubs, wow are they gonna own this year and no one even knows it. Talk about the perfect sleeper pick.

3. College Basketball - March Madness anyways. I have a habit of winning March Madness pools, and I hardly watch CB until March Madness. Go Illinois.

4. NBA Basketball - Throw out their 0 and 9 start and the Bulls have the 2nd best record in the East. Ben Gordon is the man, he can just take the game over in the 4th quarter which is the kind of guy the Bulls have needed.

Yeah, sports are great. When Michael Jordan came out and said, "I'm Back", I think it changed my life.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

-Atmosphere "Always Coming Back Home to You"

My favorite sports to play are Ping Pong and Tennis. I'm also pretty decent at volleyball, but only for recreational purposes. I wouldn't play on the school team. If only my school had a Ping Pong team, though...that'd be the greatest to ever happen to my school, with the exception of the purchase of 20 pi shirts for math league counties; that was incredible as well.

Extreme typing!

Seriously, though, I don't watch sport, I don't do sport. The closest thing I do to exercize ( I'm having one of those moments when the spelling of a simple word like that escapes me ) is walking. I walk a lot.

I used to do a lot more in the physical realm, but lately I've been really lazy.........anyways....

Are gaming or internet marathons considered sports?

Check the "What games are you playing at the moment?" thread for updates on what I've been playing.

... hmmm.... i'm not big on sports.... participating in them during Physical Education at school was fun... didn't mind playing any of those sports but i don't watch any sports on tv.... when my parents can score tickets and take me to a game i can get into it.... or.... my school throws REB, it's an invitational basketball tournament and i like going down to the gym and watching the games.... it's cool.... but i don't like sitting around home watching them... it just seems like a waste of my time

I watch everything.

I play everything.


*Everything has some limitations, such as cricket and other exotic sports so don't respond saying like "You mean you watch croquet too?" ... because obviously I do and it would be embarassing for you...

[that was a joke, people]


I don't really have a "favorite" to watch. Whatever season it is, I'm all over it. Pro Baseball, some College Baseball, Pro Football, College Football, some European Football, Tennis, Golf, College Hoops, Pro Hoops, Pro Hockey, College Hockey during the "Road to the Frozen Four", ... and whatever is on ESPN on any given time. Oh, and the X Games. I LOOOOVE the X Games. Summer moreso than Winter, but it's all good.

I do have a favorite to play, and that is basketball by far. I love just shootin hoops at the park or playing a pickup game of 3 on 3 against whoever's there. I also enjoy playing golf and tennis frequently. I was big on roller hockey, but that has faded in recent years. Don't play much baseball, which is disappointing, but I have taken up Wiffleball with my friends, which is always a good time. I also play flag football and soccer on occasion.

Next to music, the sporting world is the biggest influence in my life.

Skateboarding, snowboarding, wakeboarding, etc.; just ab.ut any of the extreme sports. I use to have a liking for basketball, but after I lost i*terest,1I haven't watched NBA or NCAA. That was around 2000, I believe.

It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck can change

My life revolves around sports. I don't know what I would do without them.

Sports to play:
Basketball (I'm on my way to the gym now, in fact)
Football (although it's not easy to get a good game around here.)
Baseball (again, not easy to get a game, but a lot of fun.)
Soccer (Thank God for my area's large Hispanic population. Nothing like a nice pick-up soccer game in the spring.)
Cross-country/track (although I'm still taking time off after the end of my running career, I'm going to pick it up again after this winter.)
Biking (Both road and off-road. By the way, I-90, biking completely counts as a sport.)

To watch:

1. College Basketball. I love college basketball. This time of year is almost as good as March to me, with good games almost every night (Tonight: Oklahoma St. at Oklahoma, Tomorrow Illinois at Wisconsin.) but in March, my schedule revolves around the tourney. The opening weekend is my favorite four days of the year. There is no sport on the planet that compares with the effort and overall intensity of college basketball.

2. Baseball. I live and die with the Cubs, and you can usually tell if they won or lost the day before depending on my mood.

3. Football. The Bears will stink it up on offense for one more year, then draft Vince "Michael Vick II" Jones and go on a Patriot-like dynasty

4. NBA Basketball. And rising with the resurgence of the baby Bulls. John Paxson is God.

5. Track. Although the opportunity to watch it is few and far between, it's still one of the sports I most closely relate to.

6. Soccer. I can only really watch soccer on a large scale, though, like the world or euro cup.

7. Hockey. Again, though, I like it a lot more when people are playing for their countries instead of leagues.

Hip-Hop QOTW:

It wasn't really that ill until the start of crack

My favorites are dance and weapon throwing. I love throwing axes. Swimming is fun too, although I suck at it. I don't know if dance counts as a sport, but it's excercise anyways.

My favorite sports to watch are dance (if you can count that) and jousting. Renaissance fairs are so awesome.

i love sports! Basketball has got to be my fave! soccer's the second best! followed by volleyball! i love to watch any sport 'cept baseball and golf, yuck

"The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved."
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

While I'll play any sport, my favourites are definitely, and in this order, snowboarding, hockey and rugby.
As for watching, I can't stand watching sports. Dunno' why but I just hate it. Let me play them anytime.

I love practically all sports, those are just my favorites. College and international sports > professional sports in nearly every situation because they care about the game more. The NFL is the only pro sports league that I truly enjoy.
