So we do like footy here, but what about American sports. Which sports and which teams do you like? The ice hockey season is well under way, as is the NBA season. My teams the Chicago Black Hawks and the Chicago Bulls are having an indifferent season so far :s

NBA ... well... I used to play Basketball myself, so I`m naturally interested in NBA.

Never got the hang of American Football. I watched some College team games a while ago and it boiled down to a lot of people taking ages to gather up... then they clashed into each other... then a ref stopped the game and they started over. The NFL teams occasionally get a real game going, but it´s still WAY too much downtime.

And the absolute horror for europeans is Baseball. I never know what the f*ck is going on on the court. All I see is a dude throwing a ball, another dude trying to hit it with a bat and then running off like hell. Damn intellectual game! :)

I try to follow the NFL season when i can and ive seen the superbowl the last 3-4 years... i sometimes catch an NBA game if i happen to zap by it on the telly (more for the commentators then the game itself)... cant say i have a favorite team, but i dont mind if San Diego wins a few games and im quite impressed with the way New Orleans have played the last few years.

That too, yes.. Not a hardcore fan, but I'm rooting for them whenever I stumble upon one of their games and I always hope they win the league

Lacrosse all the way :p

YouTube - Oregon Lacrosse Highlights 2007 MCLA Tournament

fast, aggresive and damn fun to play :p

Even with the music, it still seems sort of.... gay.
Never played, and it's probably fun, it just all looks alittle... well, gay.

I do enjoy watching the NFL. Long time 49'ers fan. Too bad it all went down hill after they got rid of Owens & Garcia, Hearst got old and they traded the ubar CB's.

All I've heard of WAR was: "It's fun at first, but then I found out how shit it is.."

Did you win your fight btw? :)

WAR has it flaws, such as BAD implementation of a good idea with the collision detection, making people warp all over the place if you cut them off. Class ballance issues, and a few bugs. But honestly, i see the potential. And the open RvR i've found the last 2 days has been good fun.
If they just fix a few of the, for me, gamebreaking bugs, they have a great game.

ofc, have to represent the OTN. ;)
