    I suppose it's basketball.

    I know many people will say american football or baseball but I believe there are other sports fans here.

    You have a poll, vote please.

    Handball is gonna dominate in a landslide.

    I just can't get enough handball. In fact I paid 550 bucks to have the All Handball Network added to my cable package.

    Yeah, I don't understand the handball either. At least put tennis instead of handball.

    Also, basketball easily comes third to baseball and football.

    I saw some guys play this in my neighborhood last week. I don't know much about the league nor if they show it here, but I would really like to try this. It's like kung fu kicks and flips and stuff.

    Weird choices. Swimming and handball, but no golf or racing?

    Ah well, my favorite two sports are baseball and basketball, almost equally. MotoGP and football are distantly behind those.

    Volleyball has quickly replaced all others to be my favorite sport to watch in person. The action is so fast paced, and the fearlessness of the players is incredible.

    i like baseball better then basketball but i like the rockets and astros about equal.

    football would be third unless it's grand slam time in tennis.

    Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Hockey are all really close.

    Growing up, I was obsessed with baseball and didn't care about any other sports. During this time, I remember going to an Oilers/Bengals game and being bored to tears.

    But I played varsity basketball and hockey in high school. Hockey is such a great sport, but it's really hard to follow it in Houston, especially since the strike when most of the televised games are on VS. If it were back on ESPN, or Houston had a team, or I lived in Philly (GO FLYERS!) then it'd be so much easier to follow.

    The Rockets have the best fan site and message board.

    In short, my favorite sport is whatever is in season.

    Handball definitely. My wife enjoys it also. In fact, I enjoy it more when she is around.
