manchester united! or, if we're talking american futball, SNOOOOOOORE. the only sports i follow are baseball and hockey. there's something about american football that i find slightly repulsive... all those manly men... sweating and grunting... in tights and shoulder pads... and the audiences are worse. beer bellies... tail-gate parties...

C'mon now, ladies, football is not boring! Neither is baseball. I look forward to fall (my favorite season, by far) and football season every year, starting in about January.

Now if you want to talk boring, what they dare to call football outside the U.S. (soccer. ugh.) is about as boring as it comes.

Oh, I've seen it played alright, and stand by my assessment. I've found hopscotch more exciting.

Please do not soil a conversation about American football with talk of soccer.

This is America: we don't watch soccer here. It's bad enough we're allowing the next generation of children to think it's ok to enjoy soccer.

As a great man once said regarding soccer's lack of popularity in America: Anytime the ball hits you on the head, that's dumb.

And that great man ... his name was Gallagher. :)

STEELERS!!!! I've been cheering for them for as long as I can remember. On a college level I hold a special place in my heart for WVU Mountaineers, there was a time when I was convinced I would be the first girl to play for them.

In terms of soccer I'm partial to A.C. Milan.

I can't think of a more boring game than American football. I love baseball, though (even if it should be changed to 6 innings.) Also love ice hockey (yeah, it's coming back) and, of course, soccer.

**blushes** I don't think American football is boring, it can be hard to follow, but it's certainly not boring IMO.

Hmm, well if it is Pro-Football I don't find it as enjoyable, much as with soccer growing up in the southern US culturally sports are huge but it was College then pro, I never even heard anything about pro soccer until high school.
Anyway I like the Falcons and Colts.
But the University of Georgia Bulldogs, thats the team I really care about the outcome for. (Which incidentally seems not to be so bright this year )
