[DoubleStar3]

Just a poll to see who likes what sport the best. Feel free to add your comments on why you like a certain sport.Just make sure this doesn't get turned into a 'my sport/team is better then yours' convo.

(Please note that you can check as many listed as you like.)

[West]

Football; Seattle Seahawks.

[Ender]

Nascar: Dale Earnhardt'll always have a place in my heart, but Michael Waltrip is starting to get me to yell for him.

Football: Raiders. They'll never win another Superbowl, but they'll make it to one every other season.

Hockey: Can't help it, it is a genetic thing, I have to love the Bruins. I can't help it. I just can't.

Mountain Bike Jousting: I hope I win.

[perpetual sorrow]

Football: Dallas Cowboys (I know, I know)

Hockey: Colorado Avalanche

Soccer: I hate it so none lol

Basket ball: Orlando Magic

[West]

Ahh. The Cowboys are #2 on my list.

[DoubleStar3]

I forgot to add in Golf and Tennis, but feel free to post if you like them in your comments, along with any other sport I might've forgotten.

And Mountain Bike Jousting is NOT a sport Ender.

[Ender]

It is.

Golf isn't a sport.

[Tiamot]

Other than wrestling, I enjoy tennis (playing not watching) hiking (doing) and boxing (watching)! I also enjoy watching a little soccer now and then! ^_^

[Gilenea]

Volleyball: I play it.

Baseball: Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And something tells me Ender won't fare well in here...

Gil

[Tiamot]

Hmmm hey...what about midget tossing? Some people actually do that, you know. :D

[West]

Someone voted "None! I hate Sports!" ..I wonder why they are in the sports section of the site, then. :p

[Ender]

Leave Ghostbat alone, and where is Archery?

[DoubleStar3]

Archery is a sport if you are competing for a prize. (I like Archery, but am out of practice...)

[Lord Anubis]

I'm personlly a die hard eagles fan. And yes i have been crying since T.O. hurt his leg. Go Birds!!!!

[West]

Go Birds!!!!

When you say that, I think of the Falcons, Seahawks, Cardinals, Ravens, AND the Eagles. :p

[Spirit-Snow]

My favorite sports I put are baseball, wrestling(All varieties), and most forms of Martial Arts. Being a Black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, that one was a shoo-in ;)

[Rainstorm]

I'm not a huge sports fan but do enjoy some. I love baseball, specifically playing it and watching it live. Few satisfactions in life are greater than a great date and a ball game. The history of the sport is incredibly interesting as well. I like to bowl. I love watching hockey, and played a mean floor hockey in school. Soccer is fun to watch (I used to play soccer as well), but only in the UK where the fans are CRAZY! I also like gymnastics but baseball will always be my first sports love.

[voldraj]

Soccer: San Jose Clash, Dallas Burn, LIGA!
Volleyball: umm...my school's team...
Ice Hockey: Dallas Stars, Philadelphia Flyers
Football: Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots (though I really could take it or leave it...)
Baseball: Texas Rangers (though I lost interest when they got rid of Pudge)

My other? BUCK BUCK! Oh so dangerous but oh so fun!

[Lost_Soul]

Basketball - SA Spurs (w00t, ma team :D )
Football - Chicago Bears


I love/hate Track and Cross Country. Archery is awesome, but I don't get to shoot much. Basketball is my favorite team sport...to play at least.

[perpetual sorrow]

And as I said before I love the sumo wrestling is fun to see, I'm not sure why but it is.

[Blackjaguarkat]

My most Favorite Sport is Hockey (The bloodier the better I say). My least favorite sport is Basketball.
I also love Boxing and the UFC, basically any fighting sport I like. Wersteling is sorta fun to watch but I like the olden days of the sport like back in the 70's. Jerry the King Lawler (sp?) was a favorite of mine to watch. Well that's all folks for me. :cool:

[JadenKorr]

Swimming, Baseball, and most extreme sports are alright.

I'm huge into backpacking and hiking. Yeah for hiking!

Basketball: Nasty.

Football: Devil's spawn.

Golf: Even worse than football.

Chess by mail: Oh God...

[IncitedJester]

I would have to say extreme sports. They are the only ones exciting enough for me to actually pay any attention to. But I'm not the type of person to just sit and watch them on TV. So I'll list the 3 favorites... that I actually do.

It all starts with Freestyle Motocross. I do it, I love it, and it would be a slice of heaven if I could get paid to do that every day of the year.

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Always has been an obsession of mine. I'm excited by pain... and the more knowledge I have on it, the better. I recently train in the EMBAS/AEWTO system of martial arts. Which is Wing Tzun Kung Fu, Latosa weapons system, and Escrima. I also have varied knowledge (mostly what I can pick up/not documented) in Muay Thai kickboxing, Wu Shu, Brazilian JuJitsu, Judo, and Baquaquan. Within another year, I hope to start competing, working toward UFC.

Snowboarding.... Not really a favorite, but what is one to do when they live in Alaska. We have 9 straight months of ridable weather here. *Shrugs*

[Cyris]

football: greenbay packers

[WareW-Believer]

My favorite sport would be Mountain Biking, Downhill Mountain Biking, and Road biking. My idols? Ned Ovrend (mountain), Lance Armstrong(road). And playing Counter Strike. (Yes playing this video game is a sport where I live)


Everybody I know at school hates me because of this.



Blame The Government:banghead:

[Noname]

My favorite sport would have to be Australian rules rugby. I once saw a guy on T.V get closed lined right in front of the referee and he didn't do anything :D

[Lance Walker]

Hockey, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Volleyball, and pro and olympic amatuer wrestling are all good for me. I like boxing when I get to see it, which is mostly during the olympic games. I would watch the UFC if I could, but since I don't have cable that's kinda defeats the purposes.

Favorite teams:

Hockey: Ever sense I saw it during the winter games I've been interested in it, though I rarely get to see a game, but watch whatever game I happen to get to see, so no real favorite team here.

Football: Indianapolis Colts: cause they have Payton and cool uniforms and stuff. :p

Baseball: Atlanta Braves: they were the first team I watched when I saw my first baseball game and because of that they will always be my favorites.

Basketball: Chicago Bulls (Yes, I know they suck since they lost Micheal and all they're good players, but I still like them for memory reasons).

Volleyball: Don't get to see much of this, but I love playing the sport and always enjoy seeing a game, which is usually during the olympics.

Wrestling: Cause of the WWE baby! Okay, it's still up for grabs if this is an actual sport or simply sports entertainment as Vince likes to say, but as the wrestlers will tell you aside from being performers and actors, they also consider themselves as athletes and entertainers and I agree with them on that. Plus it's always exciting to see in action. Kurt Angle's my favorite wrestler and after that Hulk Hogan. Angle mainly because he's the reason I started watching the wwe in the first place since the first match I saw involved him and RVD in a hardcore match and Hogan cause he was the guy I cheered for back before the wwe (wwf at that time) started doing ppvs and thus was on network televisions (early nineties I think, maybe late eighties). And amatuers always good to, and Kurt's my favorite wreslter there too (even though he doesn't wrestle in that sport anymore) since the first match I saw in the sport was during the 96 olympics when he won his gold metal in his final match against his Iranian opponent.

I would list soccor here, but seeing as how I've never seen a soccer match, I feel I haven't had that experience with the sport to give it justice in this post.

Well, I'm out.

Later all,

Lance Walker :cool:

[Buddha Monkey]

Professional Wrestling....

I know, I know, it's not a sport. However, I know people who have attempted to make their names there, and can tell you the amount of blood that goes into it.

Shoot Fighting...

Come on, watching two grown mean beat the crap out of each other, GREAT!

Foosball...
Ok, so I watched Waterboy to much. But, it's great to watch, and fun to play!

Pool...

Again, some of you will say this isn't a sport, but the concentration, and ability that is needed to play makes it a sport to me!

[IncitedJester]

Of all the sports I like, one that I hardly like, but am (As told) very good at would be bowling. I hardly call this a sport, because even amatures can get lucky and score very high on occasion.
But after watching a few rounds of the PBA (or was that bullriding?) I would have to agree with people. Most of the world champions average about 220-240. The last time I actually tested my average on a league; it was 212. So maybe that is where I should be heading... to the sport of the greasy fat guys and momma's boys. :D
...I'm only joking. Of course they are all great professional athletes of the highest caliber.

[DarknessBloodbane]

Though I'm not certain how much of a "Sport" it is...Drag Racing (Both Legal and Illegal, both of which I observe/take part in often). I don't mean funny cars, top fuel dragsters, ect, more along the lines of NDRA (Nopi Drag Racing Association). Import/Domestic cars, tuned and taken to meets to compete..(such a freakin gearhead).

Also, LOVE Soccer...Leeds United and Arsenal, favorite teams EVER.

[Lycan_bites]

I enjoy swimming, hockey, running(sprint) and basketball, although I don't follow the sports teams, just play the sports as leisure and exercise. I'm not a very energetic person :p

[whitethunder]

Wrestling rocks! I mean real wrestling not the T.V. drama crap. also free rock climbing (without ropes or gear) hiking and running occasionally.
Hey has any one tried running wildly through a forest of trees in the darkness. :D :D

[Sherekhan]

I hate sports, really. But well, Someone has got to do stuff for someone to make her happy, yes?

*Grumbles*

[Morin]

I like wrestling, but not WWE, I mean like high school and colege. Its awsem, and its a good way to loose weight.

[ryan-whatsevah]

i dont particularily like sports, but hereit goes: running, swiming, weight lifting. and, yes, weight lifting is a sport. they do have competitions.... Oh! i also like martial arts. any kind is fine by me.

[Tayci Bear]

I like riding horses and cheerleading, but my all tim favorite is probably football. Go Broncos.

[Cephas]

Fencing. Good British swashbuckling. Enguarde!

[Darth Cluich]

I'm a big sports freak, esp. team sports.

My favorite teams, in order of my preference for the sport itself:

Football (the real kind): DC United and Man. City
Hockey: Philadelphia Flyers
Baseball: Boston Red Sox
Football (the US variety): Philadelphia Eagles
Basketball: Philadelphia 76ers

I also love watching rugby and used to play it (though playing it taught me that guys my size should never set foot on a rugby pitch).

Oh, and let's end this once and for all: "wrestling" like you see in the WWE, is NOT a sport. It's the equivalent of soap operas for redneck men.

[Thanatos]

My favorite sport "ze american futbol"

NFL = Dolphins
MLB = Marlins
NHL = Panthers
NBA = Heat

[Reformer56]

I like wrestling like College and High School wrestling especially watching it. It's more or less a chess match if you and your opponet are equal in the strength category. And Of course I love football our team was runner-up in state this year over a controversial call on the goalline but no grimaces.

Football:
NFL-Packers
The legend, the legacy long live Farve and the Lambeau Leap.

NCAA-The University Of Oklahoma Sooners, Tuck the Frojans! I don't care what you say we still have an awesome team and we will be back in '05 as tough as ever how many colleges can even say they've been to a National Championshop twice in a row?

Wrestling:
NCAA: 1.Iowa State, HWT: Brock, he is undefeated!!!
2.Oklahoma State, 141: Ronnie Delk last second near fall to give them the win over Iowa how awesome is that!

High School: 1.Casady,(Oklahoma) Hey we've won SPC 5 years in a row and we've had 6 wrestlers go to college on scholarships including Philip Dorner (Stanford)
2.Hobart,(Iowa)They have 3 wrestlers at 171, 189, and HWT that have won state 3 years in a row and maybe 4 after this season thats called domination.

[blackdragon]

I love paintball it is the best. You can shoot people. I, also love skateboarding(all around),and bmx(street not vert). Just all extreme sports.

[Teej]

For me it's soccer and running. I guess I'm more for actually playing the sport I'm in (unlike baseball where you stand in the outfield and wait for that rare chance when the ball is hit to you).

[Tayci Bear]

Football: :D Denver Broncos :D

Horse Racing: Funny Cide and Smarty Jones (he was like the first gelding to ever win the kentucky derby and the Preakness)

Hockey: Bakersfield Condors (Go Condors)

[Morgrim]

I like rowing. This may be because its the only sport I am remotely good at. I made the regional squad. Rowing is very big at the Perth Unis. *shrugs*

I also like archery and sword-fighting. Not fencing but proper sword-fighting ala Hollywood, but NOT choriographed. I'm not sure if this quite counts as a sport, but I know you compete.

As an Australian, I suppose I should say AFL (Aussie Rules Football), even if I don't really care. One of the only sports where you get a point for missing!

[Blinkywolf0016]

I like karate, bike riding, and skateboarding.

[C.A.M.]

Football :beerchug:

[Darth Cluich]

Y'know, two people have voted for this option: "None. I hate sports!"

If that's the case, it begs the question...WTF are you doing in the Sports forum anyway? :banghead:

[Lore]

Giving you a reason to complain of course, I like watching the World Rally Championship and hiking, don't know if these count as sports but whatever.

[BlueScorpion]

my favorite sport (for some strange reason) is football.
go Ravens!

[Cthulhu fhtagn]

I like orienteering. I don't think it is a especially popular sport on world basis but it is pretty big here in skandinavia.

[ThrasherCub]

I like orienteering. I don't think it is a especially popular sport on world basis but it is pretty big here in skandinavia.

There are smaller things here in the US, but they're more like small competitions, not sports.

Though I don't understand why - orienteering kicks ass.

I'm glad you think so. Quite a lot of people I know consider it a weird and boring sport.

[RQ]

What, no badminton option? I am shocked, sir.

[Vendetta]

What, no badminton option? I am shocked, sir.
Psst... it is for the gays.

I would vote, if it were an option, for skee-ball. I know it's not really a recognized sport or anything, but damnit if bowling or darts are, why not skee-ball?!

Also, is spelunking a "sport"?

If you vote Skee-ball, I will vote cheerleading.

[Vendetta]

If you vote Skee-ball, I will vote cheerleading.
Well technically, I suppose cheerleading IS a sport. They DO have national competitions for it.

"I said brrr, it's cold out here, must be some Toros in the atmosphere!"

[RQ]

"I said brrr, it's cold out here, must be some Toros in the atmosphere!"I bet you hummed along with that.

I bet you hummed it, and did the DANCE. :D

[ThrasherCub]

Well technically, I suppose cheerleading IS a sport. They DO have national competitions for it.

They also have hotdog eating competitions. :/

Really, the crap we find the need to compete in...

[WhiteCrowUK]

Wot no Rugby?

http://blog.ticketcity.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/rugby.jpg

[Eagle Kammback]

I like NASCAR, but no longer watch it, it has been ruined by the people who run it, the N stands for NATIONAL, but they decided to let toyota race in it. IT IS NOT IASCAR!

[xxMatolfxx]

Does seeing who can make the bigger explosion win?

Otherwise I am not a sports fan. Please don't get me started on why. I have made some people angered with me.

[Lord Anubis]

I think the defination of a "sport" is very wide open. Its basically a form of competition.

[MorganaFang]

I like NASCAR, but no longer watch it, it has been ruined by the people who run it, the N stands for NATIONAL, but they decided to let toyota race in it. IT IS NOT IASCAR!

Yeah and nascar is not suppose to have quality cars in the race!

[ThrasherCub]

I think the defination of a "sport" is very wide open. Its basically a form of competition.

I started a great thread about what the definition of sport is and no one's replied...

[dirtyrat]

Yeah and nascar is not suppose to have quality cars in the race!

Ouch! Anti-American are you? He does make a point - it`s not international. Whether it should be or not, who knows...? ( I watch car races 2-4 minutes/year )

[MorganaFang]

Ouch! Anti-American are you? He does make a point - it`s not international. Whether it should be or not, who knows...? ( I watch car races 2-4 minutes/year )

Haha I was making a joke.

No I'm not Anti-American, nor am I jingoistic.

[Rascaduanok]

:( My brain simply does NOT work in that way. I wish it did. I recall having problems with that at school…

Oh, and my favourite: http://www.eastsideboxing.c om/forum/images/smilies/boxing998.gif

[dirtyrat]

Haha I was making a joke.

No I'm not Anti-American, nor am I jingoistic.

Haha I knew you were (hey, I can lie sometimes).
Well, I guess I`ll go look up the word jingoistic ( and it had better be a real word ).

Oh, I like tennis -as my favorite ( I see SingleStar7 didn`t put that one in the poll thingy. Yes, yes, I read her other post -better late than never I guess...:p )
