[Gnote]

NHL: Montreal Canadiens (best team in the history of sports)

CFL: Saskatchewan Roughriders

NFL: New England, Indianapolis

MLB: Toronto, Boston (though Schilling pissed me off)

NBA: Whichever team has the least criminals on it (I truly hate the NBA and more generally basketball).

[Hatred]

None.

[Attila The Nun]

Gnote, try some college basketball. That's the good stuff.

[Gnote]

TN, so I have heard.

I just can't get into it. I think the main reason I hate basketball is Vince Carter. Biggest pussy, band-aid, whatever you want to call him, yet his whining never ceases.

[Freedom]

Liverpool FC.

That is all.

[Pope Perseus Peptabysmal]

MLB: Kansas City Royals (Not a big fan though, only been to two or three games and never seen on on TV)

NBA: Blegh. Don't watch it enough to have a favorite.

NHL: Well, I would be a fan of the future Kansas City team to move there. Doesn't look like it will happen, regardless of a lockout.

College BBall: University of Kentucky Wildcats. Biatch.

College Fball: I'd go for UK, but they've only had like 20 wins in like 5 seasons. I favored USC to win because OU fans get annoying around here.

NFL: Kansas City Chiefs. Draftin' with the 15th pick, assuming King Carl gits 'er dun with defensive picks and maybe a good offensive pickup, they could be a contender next season.

Ha... Good thread.

Football (the real one):

England : Arsenal (it's a French team and I'm a chauvinist in sports ), Nottingham Forest (for sentimental reasons)

France : St-Etienne !! (Of course!)

Germany, Spain, Italy : None.

Netherlands : AJAX !! (of course!)

Scotland : Celtic

St-Etienne = 10x champions (can you see the star over the logo? Your poor "Gones" have still to win the championship 7 times to get it... )

PS : Bradley, I hate you. ( )

Men's, Women's, or both?

[Pope Perseus Peptabysmal]

Men's, but I'm under the impression that the ladies aren't too shabby either.

Sorry mate, no comprendo.
("Lapin compris" like they say in Quebec)

What do you mean by "rundown"??

[Crazy Brown Guy]

I used to be a big sports fan but now don't watch much... lost all interest in sports

NHL - GO LEAFS GO!!!

CFL - ARGOS (I live 10 mintues from where the new stadium is going to be built.... so uber cooooooool)

Cricket - SRI LANKA

Football - I hate the Titans...

Basketball - I hate them all especialy the Lakers

Baseball - Jays suck but don't watch because I'll fall a sleep if i watch it...

Soccer - I hate to watch soccer... fucking puts me to sleep...

Winter Olympics - Canada, China... or anyone as long as US don't win any medals

Summer Olympics - same as above

each and all are crap because every year other bigger leagues plunder the all-too-willing-to-depart starlets of the club. This situation will continue until the league is rich enough to be able to import players and hold on to its own.

also, Olympique Lyonnais are the best. Monaco were european vice-champions last year (unexpectedly, and have since shaken the team up as always happens with every victorious french team, losing much quality in the process)

there you go.

That's mainly because they are hugely more taxed in France than in those countries (GB, Italy, Spain...) .
The French league is rich (C+ payed recently 600M €/Year for TV exclusive rights), that's not the problem. Though French clubs are not authorized in France to live in permanent financial deficits like english, spanish or Italian Clubs (No Real Madrid is possible here). Monaco is the exception (because of its particular status), that's why they can afford to get some decent players while playing perpetually in front of half a dozen of fans in their luxuous empty stadium.
