    My favorite team is the Tamba Bay Buccaneers. I think they had about 9 pro-bowlers last year. THey've had a winning record the last 6 years in a row. They've gone to the playoffs the last 6 years in a row too. They're only going to get better.

    What are your favorite teams? Gosh I hope you guys at least like football. Some of you didn't like baseball. So I guess this will decide which is the real AMerican Pasttime.......

    I like the Denver Broncos-I did support the Dallas Cowboys, but they lost Troy Aikman as i understand it, so Broncos go...

    American Football is OK to watch, just as long as its the highlights, watching a live match is just so annoying! All those bloody time-outs :mad:
    The only "American" sports played in my neck of the woods ( South Manchester/Cheshire) is Basketball and Lacrosse. The area is in fact the main area for Lacrosse in England, and a number of local schools have Lacrosse teams ( my kids have played it [​IMG] )

    Pro American Football has lost a fan in me. I prefer college football because the spirit is still there. How about them Aggies!!!!!!! Knocked out number 2 Oklahoma! Woooo Hooooo!

    Despite their record, i have to say i am a NY Jets fan - its so interesting to watch S.Moss return Punts...he can make a lot out of what looks like a little. Ice Hockey has to be my favorite sport to watch over here...especially the NJ Devils. I would watch 'soccer' but there is really no skill involved when it comes to soccer in the states. ESPN is a life saver - 10pm Sunday nights they have English Soccer higlights. Its my only chance to see Arsenal in all their glory. They're only 1 pt behind Liverpool or Leeds, cant remember which. Haha...Man U sucks!

    Hey, Smoke286- you catch the Pats game this sunday?

    I hope you're not one of those people (I almost was!) who watched the first half then turned it off...
    That touchdown pass to Patton was freakin NUTS!

    I also have to support the San Diego Chargers on a limited basis, Darren Bennett (a fellow Aussie) plays for them-you have to support your own!!!
