Outside of the AFL what teams do you support. I'm a recent soccer fan, starting in about 09, and follow Tottenham Hotspurs. Actually in the middle of watching a recording of last night's game but my bloody tv is on the fritz so sitting around waiting for it to work again.

Pretty keen on cricket to but my interest has dropped a little bit lately.

haha I go for Chelsea, there was some end to end patches in that game this morning against the Spurs. Really could have gone either way with Chelsea probably the better opportunities, but Spurs really finished strong and fired a few quick ones in the box at the end which any of them could have gone in. Also bit of a Brisbane Roar fan and try to get to a couple of those games.

Love the NBA, follow a few teams, but mostly probably for the players. Clippers, Portland, Oklahoma. But big Boston and Miami fan (before Lebron and Bosh got there).

Love the Cricket too and just generally watch it these days and no more playing for me, but loving the T20 big bash how its been revamped now. Liking the Brisbane Heat naturally...

I'm liking the heat, but I am not getting too involved, because if it is a good year for the Big Bash there will be more teams involved. Hoping for GC out of Metricon :p

big american sports fan. love the nfl in particular, but don't really have a team that i follow. the steelers have been one that i like watching in previous years though. if the nfl was on one more often (or if i remembered to watch it when it is on haha) i may have a definite team that i support. also enjoy watching the nba as well. i'll be watching griffen and the clippers closely in the coming years, but i'd watch any game if it's on tv.

i'm a big cricket fan as well, although without foxtel i'm stuck with the stuff that's on channel 9, so the tests/odi's/t20's.

One of the joys of Sept, is the finals + NFL begins. Completely into it now, after 10 years of learning about gridiron, its the only thing that gets me thru the summer months. The collisions, passing or running, kick returns.

I truly believe that in order for Rugby League to survive as a sport (it has rule-changed itself a robotic 5 tackle-kick, scrum ha-ha) it has to convert into gridiron. Since SuperLeague died, RL is in its final death throes.

Only watch Test cricket in summer.

Just shat my pants because I thought South Melbourne Hellas had taken over one of my other loves - Melbourne Heart FC. Turns out we turned down their offer. Cue the Nuns -

Edmonton Oilers in the NHL, tried following gridiron but I can't get into it, used to like the Fury in the A League until they got ditched, now I don't particularly care. NRL: Whoever plays the Broncos. Otherwise I mainly follow the Aussies like Dan Ricciardo in F1.

I don't really follow MLB or NBA but as a rule I cheer for all Boston teams and hate all California and New York teams. Except for the Dodgers.

I do enjoy the NHL when I can catch a game, but I don't really have a favorite team. I'm going to try and catch a Canucks game in October when I'm up in Vancouver.

Massive fan of American sports and took my 17 year old son to the states last year. Ventured to Qualcomm Stadium and watched San Diego Chargers play Cincinatti Bengals. Got tickets 3 rows from the front but was sidetracked by the cheerleaders all day!!! Amazing experience.
Also lucky to see 5 LA Clippers games and a Lakers game although sat near the roof. Saw Blake Griffen slam dunk 3-4 times from close up and those guys are freaks.
Used a website Stubhub.com and got all the tickets for far less than face value if anyone heads over there.
