Well, seeing as the Superbowl was on just recently, I thought it would be a opportune time to ask what everyone's favorite sports were.

My favorite sport is boxing. It is one of the few sports that I can get excited about, and a really intense boxing match can be very fun to watch. Hockey is probably a close second though.

I'm a hockey hoser, eh?  '<img'>

Since I'm from Michigan, I almost have to be.  The Detroit Red Wings have the most loyal fans of the entire NHL.

I had to put other. Though from the others on that list I like hockey, but I'm a kick boxer. Been doing that for a year or two now so I'd have to say that's my favorite sport. That and fencing, I don't like watching it much but I like to do it.

i love to play and wach football, but i haven't been able to follow the games for the past 2 years
I am the wings of hope, hidden in the shadow of rage.
I am the crest of wisdom, hidden behind the face of youth
I am the talons of courage, hidden in the wake of humor
I am the heart of honor beating in the average chest
I am the eternal guardian shown plainly in the eyes of love
This is my soul

I like football but it is funner to play than to watch. Tough if I did watch football it be only highschool and college. Since they are not "paid" they don't play for money and usually play for the game itself. My position during the time I played was nose gaurd. (basicly the center for the defence line.)

Hockeys great to watch, I try to play a round of golf when I can swing the clubs, but nothin beats going FAST! Racings great be it NASCAR (tho the're ruining it quickly), drags, boats, CART (now that Genilosi took over), bikes, ect. I'm crew chief and builder on a small time drag team thats getting ready to step up a level. Never been good at stick and ball sports but give me an engine and look out.

I wish I was athletic enough to play sports... but I was "blessed" with the gift of clumbsyness...  I always wanted to play hockey.

My extent of it was being a cheerleader my first few years of High School (Don't laugh, it was embarrasing!!! ).

I listed baseball as my favorite, thinking of those halcyon days of my youth when they'd drag us out in PE class in the spring to the field, and I'd stand there in the outfield, chew on dandelions, find shapes in clouds, and pray that no one hit the ball my way so I'd be forced to exhibit my profound lack of athletic prowess...    '<img'>

Hmm, had to vote for 'soccer', when, of course, I'm really talking about football (I mean, come on, you use your feet more in 'soccer' than in that game Americans play...).

Have to admit I quite like watching ice hockey when it's on, but (and I have to refer to it as football from now on) football is, in my opinion, one of the best sports in the world. It's hard to explain to those who don't actually like it what makes it so good, but I love watching it and playing it '<img'>

No, cause then everyone in gym class expects YOU to make the goals, YOU to defend the basket/goal/whatev, and YOU to be the one making perfects passes and taking bad ones. All at the same time, of course!

If I didn't think most/all cheerleaders were pansies I might say I wish I had the ability to be oe. They can twist themselves into weird shapes (note: I can stick a foot behind my head, but a split is far beyond me) and do all sorts of cool stuff, but they're all girly girls where I'm from >< No way am I gunna be assossiated with preps and girly girls  '<img'>  ':cool:' lol

Except for football and soccer, pretty much every sport on that list has something about it that... Kinda' aggravates me (though I won't say what out of respect for the people that chose them).  

So with it narrowed down to those two, I chose football for the same reason Ulario chose hockey.  Its not exactly forbidden to not like the Patriots in New England, but its pretty hard not to. '<img'>

Cross country '<img'> Since it's not listed though, I'd have to go for soccer quite easily. Requires speed, endurance, and the ability to control a ball across a field in ways I never thought possible  ':.'

We definately weren't girly girls.  We were the depressing cheerleaders.  The only reason I stuck w/ them for so long is because the coach begged me not to quit.  I really wish I would have gotten out earlier.

After that I was the school mascot... which surprises people when I tell them that because they think I'm shy.  But I loved to get out in a fursuit in front of everyone.  '<img'>

I did other.

I love, and am a champion Game player. Rogue Squadren I & II, Soul Calabur, Zeonic Frount. I'm one of the best in my sport. I'm going Olimpic too.  '<img'>

kk, I love Pool, and Bowling. I play a little of both.

They need a Gamer Devision in the Olimpics, I would place Silver in Fighter Games. After bravely going on, after a tromatic beat down By Sul, and having to fix my Scythe. Testament took Silver!!!! Being Beat'n by Eddy, in the finnals.  '<img'>

Don't worry friends, next year, I'll go gold. My Zaku II and I, we'll beat all the GMs, Gundams, and any thing that I face.  '<img'>

Peace.
