  • I know that we all like comic books here on CBR. I would like to know what sports comic book fans watch to pass the time. Here's my list:

    '70s-'80s
    1) MLB Baseball
    2) NHL Hockey
    3) Pro Wrestling (WWF, NWA and pretty much anything else on TV including B.C. Wrestling)

    '90s
    1) MLB Baseball
    2) PGA Golf
    3) ECW Wrestling
    4) NHL Hockey

    '00s-'10s
    1) NFL Football
    2) American Ninja Warrior
    3) MLB Baseball
    4) PGA Golf (majors only)

    Some of you may be shocked at my lack of love for hockey (being based in Toronto). I was completely turned off with all the strikes years ago and I never got back into it.

  • I am a KC fan (live outside of the city). So Chiefs and Royals.

    Don't ask me about the teams for the other sports because that would be a long story.

  • My favorite sports to watch in order are:
    1. MLB - Red Sox, but I'll watch literally any team, any game
    2. NFL - Don't really have a fav team anymore, I'll watch any game on
    3. NHL - Red Wings but I watch the Bruins also because I'm in New England
    4. Poker - not a sport per se, but I like to watch it nonetheless
    5. MMA - Stopped watching religiously around UFC 75ish? Got to expensive
    6. Tennis - Mens or womans, not sure how I got turned on to tennis but I enjoy it
    7. Golf - I play golf (pretty badly I might add) so I like to watch it here and there

    Least favorite sports to watch:
    1. NBA - to much razzle dazzle, traveling, carrying, no defense. Live games are fun though
    2. Soccer - not my cup of tea
    3. NASCAR - boring as $hit in my opinion

  • Here's my list:

    1. NFL - Die hard Packers fan, but I watch pretty much any game on TV.
    2. Junior Hockey - Local team that I volunteer for, so I catch all the home games, and watch most of the away games on the internet.
    3. MLB - Big Brewers fan. Games are on mostly in the background all summer long, but watch and go to a handful of games every year. My son and I go to an away series ever year as well. Cincinnati in May this year.
    4. College Football - Badgers all the way
    5. NHL - Minnesota Wild is my team of choice, since we don't have a pro team in Wisco

    I'll watch just about anything really. I guess I just really enjoy sports as a whole.
    In pursuit of what Marvel considers the entire Hulk legacy run... with a few adjustments.

    Current level of completeness: 71.04%

  • NHL #1: Detroit Red Wings
    NFL #2: ugh...would love to say the Detroit Lions, but I decided many years back (before the superbowl win might i add) I decided that since i was from Chicago and my whole family loves the Bears....well Da Bears (until recently lmao) both my teams suck really lol...
    NCAA Football #3: UofM 16 weeks, MSU 15 weeks lol..(i always root for U of M over MSU when they face 1x a year...

  • 1. NCAA Football LSU
    2. NFL Saints and the Browns
    3. MLB Indians, Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox

    I am not a fanatic as I once was. I used to DVR a game, tell anyone around (like at work) to shut the HAIL up and not clue me in to anything...not put on the radio in the car and so on....until I got to watch the game.
    Now I watch if it is on, and I am around. Both my home teams LSU and the Saints are doing quite awesome though. Trying to win tix through work to see the LSU vs Arkansas game on the 7th row of season tickets seats. (District contest that ends tomorrow for the tix)
    Baseball I was HUGE into in the 80s. Watching, going to games and card collecting. That was my top sport then...now probably football, but appreciate baseball more still.
    I watched basketball in the late 80s/early 90s but really haven't since then. I did see a Hornets game a few years back or so....but left at halftime, bored lol.
