    Baseball-Astros, playoff games, college super regionals/CWS and every now and then I'll watch a non Astros game depending on my mood.

    Football-Texans, UT, LSU and UH (go to games here but can't watch many of their road games since most are not on tv) Oh yeah like every bowl game, all the playoffs and just about any other NCAA or NFL game on.

    Basketball-Rockets, UT and UH (when I can/don't conflict with the Rockets), NCAA tourny and the NBA playoffs plus I just watch a lot of NBA regular season games.

    Tennis, all the majors, davis cup and most of the Masters events

    Golf, PGA tour every week majors I watch very close and the others I check in on them.

    Hockey-pass

    Soccer-USA, Greece, Dynamo, World Cup, Euro Cup

    Racing, Sometimes a little of everything F1, Indy, NHR, Nascar (Not a fan just every now and then.

    Bowling/Poker/Pool/Rugby/Horse Racing=me at the beach

    Boxing/UFC I am a casual fan

    What about y'all?

    Baseball-Astros (if they're winning - Yes, I'm a fair weather fan for this team so f off), playoff games

    Football-Texans first, but any NFL game. College depends on if it's a rivalry, try to catch most of the Texas (UH, Texas, A&M, Tech). All playoff pro and college. This is my favorite sport.

    Basketball-Rockets, UT and UH (when I can/don't conflict with the Rockets), NCAA tourny and the NBA playoffs plus I just watch a lot of NBA regular season games. I stole texanskan, because that is me.

    Tennis, all the majors, davis cup and most of the Masters events. I kinda watch from a distance and then jump in if I know whos playing and brag.

    Golf, not much of anything anymore. I suck at golf.

    Hockey-pass

    Soccer-USA, Dynamo, World Cup if they are lucky

    Racing, Daytona and Indy for sure

    Bowling/Poker/Pool/Rugby/Horse Racing=me riding my Harley

    Boxing/UFC Not much into boxing anymore. I do like MMA occasionally

    I only watch basketball. Occasionally I see an Astros or Texans game but not much of baseball or football. I only began seeing the Dynamo play. As for the other sports, I never watch them.

    I have trouble watching if I don't have a cheering interest. Thus, I mostly watch Bucs, ROX, and Yankees games. Occasionally, I will watch something else if there is a player I want to get a look at, or a particular analyst I want to hear (like JVG in the finals this year) or if I am with other people that want to watch something (in which case I like to cheer against whoever they like).

    I pretty much follow the three major sports hardcore. Of course, I always watch my home teams. I follow the sports and will pretty much watch any good game. I usually get Extra Innings and the NBA League Pass. I dont have direct tv so no nfl sunday ticket.

    The problem is I go to alot of games a year.

    I go to about 30 (35 being my high) Astros games a year, about 22-27 Rockets games. (27 being my high) and about eight or so Texans game. I usually end up missing a pre season game and one regular season game.

    As for the other sports, I watch the majors in golf. Of course I follow college football religously as well as the ncaa tourney. Dont watch too much regular season college basketball. ( I prefer the NBA) As for my college teams I support UT and UH eventhough I didnt go to either school.

    The Rockets, some Astros, but more late in the season, when they make their run, and a couple of NFL games. Used to be a rabid Oilers fan. As much a fan as I am of the Rocks. Have never been able to get into the Texans, sadly. I love the big college football games if it involves a team I particularly love or hate. And, of course, the NCAA basketball tournament.

    90% Rockets, with LP and the DVR. Wish I could find the '86 WC Finals series with the Lakers on DVD.

    Baseball- Doesn't matter who's playing, I'll watch it. It's why I bought the baseball package through Time Warner for. Loves me some Baseball.

    Football- Texans for a few laughs, Titans for Jesus Vince, Eagles as I loved 'em when I was younger. Loved watching Cunningham back in the day. I MISS MY OILERS!

    Basketball- Rockets of course, but love it all. I will be buying the Basketball package with Comcast to suit my needs.

    College- Gee, Beave. I dunno. Aggies? :pUKE ON THE GROUND!:

    Nascar- Big Stewart fan, or anything Joe Gibbs racing.

    Spelling Bee- That nerdy kid with glasses and the cotton shirt who always speels right. Dope **** right thur.

    Your mothers- Doggy style, sometimes in the pooper. Dirty Sanchez's afterwards rules.

    Hockey - None

    Soccer - World Cup (any game I can find, usually)

    Auto - F1 when I come across it, the last few laps of any race I come across near the end

    Darts - Any match which has that crazy Irishman commentating or Phil "The Power" Taylor, who's apparently a huge boring ass according to my uncle who met him

    Olympics - Most track and field finals, anything with an intriguing story (Rolan Gardner [sp?] for example), USA basketball

    Curling is great. I fancy myself as a very good bar shuffleboarder (the sliding discs on the long, sandy wooden thing), so I appreciate it.

    You gotta have the golden touch.

    basketball - every rockets game
    baseball - astros
    football - mainly just the highlights to see what my fantasy players do. i'll root for the texans but i don't make it a point to watch their games like i do the astros and rockets.
    tennis - i love tennis but i only watch if i happen to catch it when it's on. i will make sure and watch if it's a grandslam final though.

    that's pretty much it, i'm not into college sports.
