I could care less about team sports. I like DOING outdoor "sports" (rock climbing, scuba diving, road racing, etc), but I would rather nit a sweater as watch people play sports on TV.

... and no... I don't nit.

Besides cars and autocross I do like to play golf. But I only play like once a year or so.

Nothing for me but car stuff and my little kids. I could care less who's in the World Series, or who wins the Super Bowl. At least I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way now!

Sports Junkie all my life and am going to stay that way. NFL is my passion. NHL is 2nd followed by NBA, College Football and MLB. I am also and avid fisherman as well. I love cars just as much as the next guy and consider myself a "car guy" I just like other stuff too.

I love football and baseball. Played both in College. And I'm a car guy since I was old enough to know what a car was. Speed is cool.

However, IMO NASCAR is a waste of time. I know - banned.... I like autocross and really dig the Laguna Seca series. I used to live in Monterey CA and it was a blast to go see the F1's run.

Also like competitive pistol shooting. Nothing like poking holes in paper with a really loud "stick". Now if they could just combine 1/4 mile racing with shooting I would be good. Of course you can get that "sport" any night of the week in Baltimore.

I watch the NFL and am a COLTS fan.

Is Skydiving a sport, or am I just an adrenaline junkie?

I also enjoy soccer. Played it as a youth, coach my oldest's team now.

I'd rather play sports than sit on the couch and watch them. I typically only watch sports during the playoffs (NFL, MLB, NBA) or at the actual stadiums. I also like watching UFC stuff. Other than that, I'm 99% car stuff related.

It's hard not to be a stick and ball fan when you live in New England.

Go Sox!

My parents have always been avid stick and ball sports fans. Me I never cared one bit for that kind of stuff. Don't know who won the superbowl, the world series, basketball, etc. Don't know and don't care. But cars! I got hooked when I was 13 and I've never looked back. I like fooling around with my own cars plus I follow all the major racing series and attend as many races in person as time and money allow. I've been to a few vintage races where some of the "vintage" cars were state of the art when I first saw them running in person. When I was a wee lad mind you! :headbang:

I love all things mechanical. Cars and airplanes are the passion. The only team sport I watch is football because my son is big into it and he is starting HS football this coming year and is one of the schools top players for his age group.

I've been surfing for over forty years. I have the same kind of passion for it that my cars give me. Both are "ways of life". 8 time world surfing champ Kelly Slater said it best " Surfing is like being in the Mob. Once you're in you are in it for life."

Football? is that the game where you kick the puck into the basket to get a home run???:dunno: Never did know or care much about "sports". But then again, even being a car guy, I can't sit thru an entire NASCAR race either:hmm:

I used to be a sports fan but lost interest in it. I still play with friends & family but could care less about professional sports, primarily because of the attitudes & actions of some of the athletes. I'd rather tinker around the garage.

Yeah, I'm into playing football, baseball, and hockey, but I don't really care to watch it on tv or play on a team. A few guys and girls throwing the ball around is alright in my books. 67SSDan, good call on the rock climbing and other outdoor activities. We do a fair bit of wall climbing in Manitoba. I'd like to try some outdoor climbs soon. I also like snowboarding and running in the summer. It's good stress relief and keeps me in shape.

Yeah... I have no idea where Manitoba is... but come on down to the RTH3 this year and we'll jump on some cliffs while you're here.

Don't have time to sit around watching people play sports on TV. Wouldn't do it even if I did have time.
