youre problem is...

Hes got taylor tommoro.. hope he gives the arrogant, overweight, sarcastic **** a good kicking..

nope.. this is one of the many british households firmly in the barney army..

 

[elapid]

Don't know. AFL, is that a kind of padded rugby, like NFL?

No, nothing like it. A single team of 18 players on the ground at all times (no offensive team, defensive team, special teams, etc). No pads. No scrimmages. And thankfully the game is free flowing and not stopped every 5 minutes for an ad break. Long kicks, spectacular marks, big tackles. Fantastic game.

After all the media exposure Barney got here I thought you we're describing him.
I like Taylor, but again it might have to do with media here portraying him as the nice guy who's way better than the ever arrogant Barney.

 

[craig1985]

1/ FC Internazionale (Inter Milan). If you cut me open then my blood would be black and blue (not really).
2/ None really, although for some reason when I was younger I was obessed with American sports, not so now, although I did like the Denver Broncos. I will go to a game though when I finally get to America.
3/ No AFL team, prefer rugby league, a game that is played and is popular outside of Australia. I support Melbourne Storm.
4/ I wouldn't say I admire anybody.

weird that...

nah.. taylors a prize ***.. opinion in britain is probably about 50/50 split now. might be the british love for an underdog, and the fact that deap down we dont really like winners to much..

 

[Polkadot09]

1. Arsenal
2. Cowboys
3. N/A - would have if they showed it over here.
4. Kostya Tszyu, Mehela Jayawardne and Kenenisa Bekele

All 3 show something very special in the sport they play and the way they handle themselves as role models.

Sk Brann!?!? heia Vålerenga!

I'm excited for the cross-country season too...I would actually like to be skiing now, maybe snow next week

1. EPL - Chelsea
2. NFL - Patriots
3. AFL - fun to watch no idea of a fav team
4. One of the all-time greats stateside...Walter "Sweetness" Payton...you don't get a nickname like that without being able to back it up

 

[pedaling squares]

1. They all seem the same. So I'll vote for Les Habitents de Montreal.
2. I dunno, maybe the Colts?
3. Haven't seen AFL since I was a kid. I don't count anyway, not an Aussie.
4. I used to admire Ken Dryden but then he worked for the bloody Maple Leafs (No, not leaves. They can't spell) and now he's a bloody politician!

 

[kelvedon wonder]

1. Premier league? Ugh. Colchester United all the way, baby!!
2. Haven't watched American football since it was on C4 in the 80's. Can't remember my favourites back then, possibly Detroit Lions because I too come from a town beginning with D that just makes cars.
3. Haven't the figgiest, but the Old man likes the Eagles and sometimes wears the shirt when out on his bike in the summer.
Fave sportsman? Got to be Jamie Cureton. Who probably doesn't mean much to any of you, but he's my hero for the 2006/07 season. Anyone who could ensure a hat trick against Southend United the day a gang of us did a sponsored ride for the teenage cancer trust from Colchester to Southend was always going to be my favourite.
