I know that most of us on the forum are females but that doesn't mean we can't like sports....Anyone else out there liking sports???? I am a huge Jeff Gordon nascar fan, and a Dallas Cowboys fan--and I'm not just a lukewarm fan, I really love them.....I also like basketball, went to a game some years back to see the then washington bullets play orlando magic....got to see shaquille o'neal....that was exciting.....they catapulted about 10 shirts into the crowd of thousands and one of them came right to me....

growing up as a daughter of a football, golf, basketball,etc. coach I do like sports.

We had Girls Athletic Association when I was in high school and played basketball with them.

I was a swimmer butterfly and freestyle.

Now I love hiking and canoeing.

Dad was always against children doing little league, because of the way the parents acted and not allowing the children to be well rounded and learn to occupy their time on their own.

So when I had my children I did not allow them to do sports until the 5th grade. They took piano and one also took violin and all sang in the choir (parochial school through 8th grade).

Then in high school we had one child on the volleyball and softball team, one on the track, golf and tennis team, and one on the tennis, track, golf and basketball.

We watch the Pacers, Colts, IU basketball and Purdue football. I have been to the 500 race a few times, time trials more times, but watch it on tv now.

I grew up with 4 boy cousins and a grandpa that watched and played every sport, so I've always been into sports. Then I met my hubby and he's a Dallas Cowboys fan so I became a fan by default. Although I root for the Colts quite often because of Peyton Manning. And I like Brett Favre, I'm not a Green Bay fan but I do like him. You have to admire a guy who is still great after so many years and so many ups and downs. Football is my favorite sport to watch and follow. Never been to a NFL game though. No team in LA, so sad. I did go to a Lakers game last year. That was fun. We saw Shaq and Kobe, of course, but Jack Nicholson was there, Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillpe, Heather Locklear, Richie Sambora... bunch of famous people. That was the largest amount of "stars" I've ever seen in person.

I was on the swim team in high school, freestyle was my thing. Won a couple of meets, that was exciting. Looking back, I was in the best shape of my life when I swam. I was thin because I was still a gawky teenager with the overactive metabolism but yet I had great muscle tone. Maybe someday I'll get it back... No more chocolate-covered pretzels...must run...
