Ice hockey. I was miserable with the NHL lockout. Other than that...I pretty much like most else. I love skiing and tennis..... basketball, soccer, lacrosse, running are good...I'm too small to play real football, but I like touch. Umm...not a fan of Nascar, golf, etc.

Oh, sports teams:

Hockey: I've been a loyal Ranger fan since the ripe age of three and a half, but face it: they stink! I like the Colorado Avalanche, the New Jersey Devils are okay, too. Not the Islanders...that's like the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry of hockey (Rangers-Islanders)-- a number of fights are guaranteed whenever they play each other.

Baseball: I'm a Red Sox fan from NY, lol. I find the Yankees to be...too self-assured and Derek Jeter, in my humble opinion and contrary to that of most others, is very arrogant...I get that perception just from the way he stands with a smug look on his face all the time. I guess I also resent them for having such a large payroll. The president makes about $400,000 a year to lead a country and Alex Rodriguez gets 252 million for 10 years. That means that A-rod is getting paid 25.2 million annually or 63 times the salary of the President of the United States to swing a chunk of wood and throw a ball. How pathetic is that? I think the Red Sox come across as a more down to earth team and anyone who opposes the Yankees is good.

Football: I'm not a huge fan of any team. I like the Jets better than the Giants...but if one of them gets eliminated, I'll root for the other. I like the Patriots and I sort of like the Colts because they have part of my name, lol. :lol:

Basketball: Again, no single team. I like to watch it, but who I want to win varies.

Tennis, Skiing, Lacrosse, Running, Soccer: No team and I rarely watch any of these, except sometimes tennis. I just like to play them.

I voted for soccer. I play soccer so I am kind of biased ;)

To watch on TV...

I love to watch hockey! I am a Toronto Maple Leafs fan! celiac3270, I was also disappoited with the NHL lockout! I don't really watch many other sports on tv. I'll watch the Superbowl once a year and golf or curling once in a while but that's pretty much it!

Yep, the salaries of these sports players are insane. The high salaries should be going to the people in the military and the people who help keep this country safe. And the Presidents to get so little money for all they do compared to people who do so much less for so much more. Something doesn't add up to me. <_<

My son is into martial arts (To-Shin-Do) and will have his black belt in about 18 months. He just might be the youngest one to get one too so I am biased about that. Outside of that I don't have any interest in professional or team type sports.

Bush (or another President) would have to hold the position for 630 years to get the salary that Rodriguez gets in ten (assuming the salary doesn't go up). Or, to put it in perspective, 63 years to earn what A-rod gets in one. That's pathetic. That's my primarily qualm with many of these sports. And while nearly all athletes are overpaid, I think hockey is much, much better...still outrageous at times, but in comparison to baseball, decent.

I put down what my favorite sport to DO is. I'm not a big fan of watching track, but I love running. As for watching... I *used* to be a basketball fan, but then the Lakers tanked it, and they're just not so fun to watch anymore. (I tried, really I did.) So, these days, I mostly watch european soccer, since that's what my husband records non-stop on the TiVo. ;-)

Huge Baseball fan......GO TRIBE! (I also like the Cubbies).

College Football = OU Bobcats & OSU Buckeyes (Can't watch Pro Football Anymore After the Browns Left in '95....sellout jerk Modell!)

Hockey = NY Rangers (They stink but it goes along with rooting for underdogs like the Indians and Cubs).

I also enjoy playing basketball (Although I HATE Pro-Basketball), baseball & softball.

Yes. College football and college basketball are better than their professional counterparts. Another Ranger fan... they're terrible. I'm not asking for a Stanley Cup in only ten years--I'm just asking for a decent playoff run. <_<

BASEBALL! I love my Atlanta Braves and my son's New Georgia Bombers. I keep score for games.

For that Orioles fan out there...we miss our Javy. Take good care of him, will you.

Ah, the browns...my uncle is a dedicated, delirious Brown's fan. Truly one of his most favorite things in the world!

Drop me a line if you ever come this way and my wife and I could meet you are your husband somewhere.

Yep, I'm sure they'll take real good care of Javy...right after he gets back from being on the diasabled list. I think I heard them say he wouldn't be back till late July-early August. He's been injured alot this year which is unfortunate for the O's..they were bitten by the injury bug

Bob-

Thanks for the invite! :) Not sure when I'll get out there next, but I will definitely remember to contact you if I do. My dad's sister and all of her fam/kids are still there, but after my grandma passed away a few years ago I don't get there as often... :(

I didn't vote because gymnastics wasn't on the list :(

That's my favorite sport to watch. I also like volleyball, I'm not a huge sports fan though. My husband isn't either, which makes me very happy. My sister's husband is obsessed with sports and I'm so glad mine's not.

I agree that the amount these people get paid is outrageous. But, really it's the fans that pay their salaries. So if people are willing to pay to go to the games, sometimes really expensive tickets, then they are going to get paid that much.

Same thing with movie stars, we complain about how much they get paid, but we are the ones that are paying them! :lol:

Hey, this is random, but has anyone ever watched the nationwide cheerleading competitions when they're on tv? They are kind-of funny, but I dig watching them in a weird way too. I mean, how the heck do those little girls get into those poses while being thrown up into the air that high??!

I love all sports. I watch the Huskers play football (Nebraska passtime); Baseball I watch whomever is in the world series; Tennis my favorite is Agassi :); Track ~ I only like to watch (watched) my son who just graduated (he took first in the State in the 200m, 2nd in the 400m & 100m). I like to play racquetball, tennis, swim, hike, walk, and basically do anything fun!! :)

For the next 4+ years I will be watching my son play wide receiver for the UNO Mavericks (Omaha team). :) Bleacher bottom is a way of life for me!!! :P

yeah, when there is nothing else on then I watch it :lol:

It is pretty interesting to see everything they can do. One of my friends used to be a cheerleader for the MD Terps and she was one of those people that got tossed in the air because she was so tiny.. but wow how they do that I will never know

I like the cheerleading and dance competitions. But they are kind of similar to gymnastics.

We Braves fans know about that injury bug. I think we have played half of the last two seasons with rookies. We looked around at one point earlier this year and realized that Rafael Furcal was the oldest one in the infield when Julio Franco wasn't playing first!

Buckeyes, Cincinnati Bengals and Reds are my teams. I was also a HUGE John elway fan (hence the Bronco in my name - Bux = Buckeyes, my undergrad alma mater).

I also love soccer (played since I was knee-high to a grasshopper :lol:

March Madness is great as well...

My favorite sport to watch is hockey- I grew up going to Bruin's games with one of the players so it's in my blood. The hockey strike this year was awful- it's the one sport that I go crazy watching. OK and I have to admit, no one out there hate me, but I do like the Red Sox. I don't like baseball but I'm proud of them. I don't care how good the Patriots are- i still hate football, sorry.

My tastes run a little off-kilter- I'd rather watch a surfing or skiing (especially moguls)competition. For myself, I like yoga, skiing, surfing, moutain biking. this is a good topic!

San Francisco Giants and Red Sox all the way!

I love to watch baseball all the time.

Donna-I'm going to the Giants vs. Braves game on wednesday.

And the Giants also know about the injury bug going around, everyone is hurt on our team too, even through I don't like Barry Bonds and think he is a jerk, he is fun to watch :)

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well. I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of thiamine, the additional calories are stored as fat.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat than to burn carbs.    Do read Dr. Lonsdale' article here... Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine.  The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain.  Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to break it down and utilize it.  Only about thirty percent of the amount of thiamine mononitrate on the label is absorbed.   Do take a look at Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Lonsdale has done much research on Thiamine.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests  intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream.  This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs.   The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease.  Taking the methylated (activated) forms of the B vitamins is necessary.   A good multivitamin may not be sufficient to correct deficiencies.  Malabsorption due to the intestinal damage of Celiac Disease may prolong deficiency states.  Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected quickly to prevent long-term problems.  Taking a B Complex twice a day increases absorption.  Taking a multivitamin as well is fine as multivitamins usually also contain some necessary minerals.
