    MLB is my favorite, but I guess that wasn't one of the choices.

    Before the T-Mac trade, it would have been the NBA. I am a hopeless homer, and I love rooting for Houston teams. Unfortunately, I will not feel like I'm rooting for the Houston Rockets next year. I'll feel like I'm rooting for a mix of the New York Knicks, the Orlando Magic, and Yao Ming. Someone posted a list of all of our players, and their time with the team a while ago.

    Mo Taylor has been here the longest, with 4 years. After that, there were a couple who had been here for 2 years (Yao Ming being one of them). Everyone else had been with us for one year or less. We traded away 3/5 of what was the Houston Rockets to me. I won't enjoy watching them as much next year. Will I be happy if they succeed? Sure. Like I said, I'm a homer. But I'll feel like we're doing it with the wrong people.

    After the trade, the NFL is my favorite (out of the choices given). I love the way things are shaping up with the Texans, and I'm really excited and hopeful about this coming year. I'm thinking playoffs, and hopefully at least a .500 record.

    I don't watch the NHL or the MLB. I can't stand baseball, I mean I tried hard to watch this year with the additions of Pettite and Clemens but I...just...can't...pay....attention

    I just go to the astros.com site and read up on how their doing

    I wish we had an NHL team, though I do appreciate the Aeros.

    I once really enjoyed basketball, but now I find the 80-75 games unwatchable.

    Once loved the NFL, but I haven't really warmed to the Texans.

    The Astros are making me hate my favorite sport.

    The rest don't really matter. I actually watched a little bit of hockey back when the Stars won the cup, and I actually owned and played a hockey game or two around that time, but I could barely watch it now. Although I'm not sure whether I'd watch it or the WNBA. I don't know why, but I couldn't ever get into the WNBA.

    The NBA is really high up in their in my life. I'm a big fan of the Cowboys and could give a scouting report on any current Cowboy, but they do not compare to the Rockets in my world. In fact, my dad asked if I wanted him to get some tickets to go to a Cowboys game, which we have never been to, and instead of being excited to see my favorite football team in an excellent NFL atmosphere, I was wondering how many fewer Rockets games I'd be able to go see. It was kind of a weird thing.

    Baseball is as far from the NFL as the NFL is from the NBA in my views. I watch a lot of Astro games, but mostly because there is nothing else to watch during the summer. I still enjoy it, at times, but its not that great for me.

    And the Yao-only fan base continues to grow!
    :p

    I understand what you're saying Ender, but part of being a homer is going for whoever the home team throws out there, regardless of who it is. The Rockets could open next season starting Scotty Brooks and 4 CBA nobodies, and I'd still watch.

    Personally, I like watching the MLB the best, followed by the NBA. NFL's a distant 3rd, I'm trying to get back into it now that Houston has a team again.

    Are you serious?

    IMO, the NFL is the best, by far! The games are more entertaining and each game has a significant impact on the season.

    I'm not sure if you're referring to me as a Yao-only fan, but that's the farthest thing from the truth. I've come to resent Yao Ming. At first, he was a nice enough guy and I was waiting for him to develop into one of the elite players in the game.

    Now, I'm just bitter that such a soft player is seen as the most necessary piece of the team, to the point where Steve, Cat, and Cato could be tossed aside like garbage and no one really minded.

    I also understand what you're saying about how a homer will follow the team no matter who is on it. It's just that for the past 5 years, Steve, Cat, and Cato were players who *defined* the Houston Rockets, in my mind. When I would think "Houston Rockets", I would think Steve and Cat. Then Yao Ming joined the party, and I was all too happy to have him, until he started making Steve expendable (ie- we can afford to lose Steve because we still have Yao).

    They gave everything they had to give for the organization, and despite their performance, I always appreciated it. But everyone couldn't get rid of them fast enough, and now we have a bunch of players from someone else's team, and very few of the people that defined the Rockets for so many years.

    I understand that many will say that now, it will be Yao and T-Mac, along with whatever garbage we picked up from the Magic and Knicks, that will define our team. I'm sure this is the truth, and sooner or later I'll just have to accept it.

    But for now, I'm still really bitter about the whole ordeal.
