In other words, how many sports (college is apart from pro) do you watch/keep up with, and who is your favorite team/athlete in each?

Mine:

Pro Football: New Orleans Saints
College Football: LSU
Pro Baseball: Houston Astros
College Baseball: LSU, partial to CSF
Pro Basketball: New Orleans Hornets, partial to Houston Rockets
College Basketball: LSU, partial to Duke
Soccer: International-USA, partial to Italy; Club-Chelsea FC and Houston Dynamo, partial to Liverpool
Hockey: Detroit Red Wings
Bowling: Pete Weber

I can watch tennis, but not nearly enough to care about who wins. To me, golf and NASCAR is unbearable.

Any cricket, lacrosse, rugby, or Australian rules football fans out there?

In order of how much I care:

1a. College Football: LSU
1b. MLB: Atlanta Braves (love baseball as a whole more than CFB, though)
2. NFL: Philadelphia Eagles
3. NBA: New Orleans Hornets
4. Tennis: Rafael Nadal
5. NHL: Chicago Blackhawks

I keep an eye on LSU baseball and basketball, but not enough I'd even consider myself a fan.

Ditto for Liverpool.

not diverse at all

I'd say I'm a football fan, not a sports fan.

yeah, as an Astros fan it's been an easier season if I just act as a casual observer of the entire sport

MLB: Yankees but I'm more of a baseball fan than anything. I'll watch anyone play.

NBA: Hornets. Heat a distant 2nd. I met Riley when I was younger and when Shaq went there I started following. Lebron tests my fandom though.

NFL: Colts

Soccer: City but again I'll watch anyone.

College: LSU all the way. Also pull for ULM in football since my brother goes there. LSUS in baseball because I have friends on the team. I like West Virginia in football as well. They helped LSU in 2007 and Dana is the shite.

Pro football - saints- drew brees
College football - lsu
College baseball - lsu
Soccer - Chelsea

NHL during the playoffs - penguins
MLB during the playoffs - rangers
Nba during the playoffs - hornets

Playoffs just make those sports much more entertaining... It's because I hate the long seasons

my friend who got me into soccer is a huge Pool fan, so I'll sympathize when they aren't playing CFC. When we do play it's on

If they are on, I'm making a point to watch and/or DVR:
Saints, Tulane (football, hoops, baseball), Arsenal, Buffalo Sabres, any rugby union, rugby sevens, Atlanta Old White RFC (OK, we're rarely on TV).

Will watch/have some interest in:
Hornets, Hawks, Georgia Tech football/hoops/baseball, footy, Gaelic football, Hurling, tennis.
