Hi all,

 

Just wondering which out of these 4 sports in the USA that you prefer to watch or is your favourite? (Feel free to say which teams you support as well). 

 

I like them all but my favourite to watch is American Football (LA Chargers) as that is the closest to Rugby which is my main sport I played growing up. Next would be Baseball (San Diego Padres) and then Ice Hockey (San Jose Sharks). I watch Basketball the least (only occasionally) but I don't really have a team I follow or support much in it.

College football (The schools I went to, South Carolina and Louisville, or the school my kids went to, Florida State)

Men's College basketball (Louisville)

Women's College basketball (South Carolina and Louisville)

NASCAR and F1 but I'm losing some interest in these.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Used to be a big college football fan, but the current state of it (particularly the seemingly unregulated transfer portal) makes it less enticing at least to me (hard to root for my favorite team when who knows if the players will stay more than a year or so).  Ice Hockey was a main staple when the Wings were good.  I hardly ever watch NBA or MLB games, and I did jump on the Lions bandwagon this past season.

The whole NIL and transfer portal issues are ruining it for me.  

 

I will say one of (our) Louisville basketball coaches, Rick Pitino, was way ahead of the curve doing NIL before there was such a thing!  LOL
