STEELERS ALL THE WAY. If they win, I promise not to rub it in your face.

[moldycookies]

Oh, and yes.

Baseball is my favorite. PHILLIES. <333
I swim. It's fun. And great exercise. Oddly enough, the season is in December so swimteam time is almost up. :(

This reminds me of when Hector appeals to Achilles that whoever wins should return the body of the loser to his respective side.

>.> I see what you did there. :P

I love basketball, but tbh, I have been out of the loop lately. I used to watch it with my dad because he dominates the television and would not change the channel at all. XD

I don't play sports because I am an eternal klutz with no coordination whatsoever. But when it comes to sports-watching, tennis is my number one love. ROGER FEDERER = ♥. I used to scream like a maniac in front of our tv whenever he lost a game. And I celebrated like I knew him personally *which I do, IN MY DREAMS* when he beat Pete Sampras in the grandslam title. :D

Ah, sports. I used to play roller derby, but this is as far as my sporting goes.

I don't mind watching college sports, because I think it's nice to watch kids who care about the game, and not millionaires who are just playing for contracts with big companies. I think some pro sports feel "all about the money," and it's a little disheartening.

My family are huge American football fans, but I don't really understand the rules. I call it "throwy ball run run." I like watching basketball ("shootyhoops") or hockey ("puckywhack") because I feel like things are happening constantly without stopping. This is why baseball and golf drive me BANANAS.

i'm not gonna lie. i only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.

[a_lifestyle]

When I was in design school, the Superbowl was when we'd eat food / talk / socialize, and when the commercials came on, OUR EYES WERE GLUED TO THE TV LIKE LITTLE ARTSY FARTSY WEIRDOS THAT WE WERE.

ahahaha! i like the fed ex commercials~ remember the one with the delivery pigeons? and then they had a Predator with a mask of a human face? LMFAO. (but mannnn, i should show you the thai commercials that make me LMAO.)

[bluerising]

There's a Volkswagon commercial going around Youtube of a kid dressed in a Darth Vader outfit (which will be aired Sunday for the Superbowl), and it is the most ADORABLE thing ever. Not gonna lie, I've watched it like five times already.

Oh, I HATE watching every kind of sport. And since in Italy we all love football, I hate it even more.
I'd love to see the stadium of my city burning down to ashes. Normally without people inside, but sometimes with people inside too, especially since I live quite close by and it's always very crowded and busy when there is a match and I get ANGRRRRY... :)

But I like to go to the gym, weight lifting or spinning. And I love to go by bicycle (and I must say that the only sport I tolerate on tv, even if don't have a TV :D, is bicycle racing)
And now I was thinking about martial arts. I'd love to train and learn a discpline all together. I was considering taekwondo and kung fu (Ahh, I know it sounds a little haughty, but I'm serious! :D).
Do you have suggestions?
