I went NFL. I was tempted to put NBA but realized I haven't seen a game in ages.

Most of the Stanford grads I've met have been pretty passionate supporters of their team.  I was friends with one in law school who basically sat out most of a party that he was hosting to keep track of a Stanford game on TV.  I'm thinking this was around Halloween 2012 -- must have been a competitive game?

Most of them developed that post-Stanford. I have many friends who went to 0 or 1 games while and undergrad who are now diehard fans. <_<

It can fluctuate depending on how my favorite teams are doing, but for me it's currently NFL, MLB, College Football, College Basketball, then NHL.  Auto Racing isn't anywhere on the map, and I only "follow" NBA when it gets mixed in with other sports news/coverage, and when my coworker goes on & on about Lebron and the Heat.

I have not watched one NFL game since last superbowl, and that was the only NFL game I watched that year, I intend of skipping it this year, I'll watch the commercials later on the web.

Well, they are a better team now than they were ten years ago.

NFL is not a sport, it is a bureaucracy. Football is a sport, baseball is a sport, basketball is a sport, ice hockey is a sport.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

See?  This is why only Americans were allowed to vote.

CdM attended every Notre SECDame game when he was a student.

You forgot Navy, Louisville, SDSU and the mighty Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State.
