    2) NCAA Hockey (teams=Minnesota Gophers, Wisconsin Badgers)
    3) NHL Hockey (teams=Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks)
    4) NCAA Football (teams=Minnesota Gophers, Wisconsin Badgers)
    5) Formula One (teams=Ferrari Alonso/Massa, Lotus)

    -PGA Golf (Steve Stricker, Luke Donald, Tiger/Rory)

    Being the british guy I am, i love football (soccer for the US of A) and i support the team i always have which is Manchester United. All of my Dad's side of the family came from Manchester and I was born there, but i live in Stoke now.

    Other sports i like, I watch basketball from time to time. I don't have any specific team, purely since i don't have one which i particulary like over the others. Though i do enjoy watching the LA Lakers play.

    Awesome! I wish I could watch more, to be honest. I only get a minimal amount of matches and it's usually Liverpool. We have MLS over here and it's pretty good, but EPL is far better.

    What league did they play in?

    haha

    I am a huge baseball fan. My absolutely most favorite team ever is the Colorado Rockies (even though they suck most years). I played baseball into junior college when the team i was on won regionals and hosted super regionals(we lost) but were one step away from the JC world series. Was going to go to Pepperdine to play baseball there but blew my knee out (for the second time) and my career was over. But I know help coach little league to pass on my knowledge that I gained over the years. If I cant play I will have a protege who will make it pro....and I will be his agent lol

    Here in NC it is all college basketball, our professional teams are horrible if you follow any NBA or NFL.

    1. Duke Basketball- I am a diehard fan and never miss a game.
    2. MLB - Atlanta Braves
    3. NFL- Carolina Panthers
    4. NBA- no big preference, mostly just follow certain players.
    5. College football- Clemson and ROLL TIDE.

    BOOO!!! I. Cant. Stand. The. White. Sox.

    When the Rockies play them I have to mute the tv and listen to the rox announcers on the radio cuz the white sox announcers are HORRIBLE and severe homers.

    I love college sports more than pro in all but Baseball. NCAA basketball is so awesome later in the season when it comes to the conference championships and the building into the final tourney. Who doesn't love the March Madness?? haha I am a huge Big Ten fan and it's nice to see some really solid teams this year. Maybe not Final Four grade, but good enough to shake up some tourney seeds.

    There is a difference between the sox announcers and most other announcers. The sox guys hardly give any stats. They are too big of fans of the team they announce for. In my opinion no team should have announcers that are fans of that team.
