Premier League: Liverpool

International: Switzerland (hence, Federer. Also 'cause he's awesome.)
that's.. pretty much it. I don't even follow MLS/CFL, despite the local teams. just not the same as Premier League, and Football sucks in general. (Rugby >>>> Football)

high fives!
Only really started cheering for Tottenham over the last few seasons. Modric is a big reason why. Before that I always enjoyed the EPL, but never really favoured a team.
Wow. This is what I was referring to earlier, except I never knew about it to this level of detail.
Oh yeah,
MMA:
Heavyweight: Fedor Emeleianko
Light Heavyweight: Lyoto Machida
Middleweight: Anderson Silva
Welterweight: George St.Pierre
Lightweight: Clay Guida
Featherweight: Kenny Florian
Golf: Anyone not Tiger Woods. I would say Rory McIlroy or Anthony Kim
EPL: Manchester United (my friend is a huge ManU fan, I'm not a huge fan of the EPL but I pay attention to it)
Only sports I don't follow currently are Cricket, Nascar, F1, College Basketball (I will follow March Madness), and Boxing.

Owners want to rollback salaries by 24%.

Hellooooooo Halo 4.
NHL 13 is where it's at. Our own GM connected league will blow the real not-happening league out of the water.
Also, best part of that post:
“(2) The salary cap would have fall to an Upper limit of $50.8M"
yeah... no. 20 Mio LESS, despite INCREASING revenue? Seriously? Lockout, here we coooome.

Will the Leafs make the playoffs?
Depends on who's managing them. Also, with a fantasy draft it won't be the ACTUAL Leafs players, so I'd say their chances can only be better.

Hockey already causes so much stress in my life, I couldn't imagine spreading that across another 3-4 sports.
ESPN said Habs have the 3rd best prospect pool, and had one of the best drafts in the past decade this year. Too bad they don't know much about hockey.
They sure are ruthless.
As for teams...
NHL : Flyers
NFL : Broncos
MLB : Astros

Oh neat I'm always down to share my team allegiances.
NHL: Canucks
MLB: Blue Jays
NFL: none, but I love watching it. Sunday Night Football is one of my favourite ways to pass the time.
I also love watching the BC Lions but I haven't caught as many games as I had liked this summer due to the timing. I wish the crowd would start a BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE chant.
NBA: none though I do enjoy watching the playoffs after the Canucks are eliminated. For every year that I remember except 1 I'm watching by May something at the latest. >_>
MMA: I don't really have too many favourite fighters right now, I'm more of an older school kinda guy. Only active guy I like a lot is Shogun really. Some of my favourite guys of all time are Fedor, Chuck, Tito and Shogun. I'll cheer for GSP too of course because of the Canadian thing but I can't say he's one of my favourites. In fact I was actually leaning towards cheering for Nick Diaz in that fight because I really love his fighting style. >____>

Brady is just that handsome of a man.
Nothing wrong with liking a team that went through a huge drought to finally win it all *cough*
Kobe is the best player in the NBA period.
Toews is a force to be reckoned with.
C'mon now.

NHL: Flyers.
CHL: Mooseheads.
MLB: Phillies, though admittedly Orioles and Nat's games are fun in person.
Minor Leauge: Bowie Baysox.
NFL: Eagles. Tried to stop for a bit after Vickgate--attempted the Ravens since I went to school with Flacco and I live next to Baltimore now, kinda tried the Redskins w/ McNabb but...felt dirty. Can't do it.
NCAA Football: Navy.
NBA: Bleh. 76ers out of loyalty I guess, but I really don't care about the league.
NCAA Basketball: Maryland
International/Olympic: USA.
On an unrelated note,
I am getting stupidly excited for NHL13's ConnectedGM mode. Also the return of fantasy hockey.
Also also, GW2 is going to require some NHLgaf grouping, smiley.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
NHL: Detroit Red Wings
NFL: Detroit Lions
That's all that matters.
I can't watch baseball at all and the NBA is terrible until playoff time.
As for you guys bashing football, NFL RedZone takes care of the waiting game.

NHL -Blues (partial season tickets -too many games for a full season)
MLB- Cardinals (partial season tickets- waaay too many games for full)
NFL- Rams (season ticket holder) (if they move in a few seasons it will be either the Chiefs, Broncos or Dolphins and one trip per year)
EPL- Chelsea (one day I get to a game again, was a kid the last time I went)
Nothing for MLS (I'm bitter). I catch parts of games when they are on though.
My list is ordered from most to least important to me . Blues and Cardinals importance is really multiplied triple fold though, and the Blues over the Cards by a good margin too.

I don't really follow/pay attention to other leagues/sports enough to say I have an allegiance to any particular team.
I want to get into the CFL but I'm in a Canadian city that surprisingly doesn't have a CFL team. If there was a CFL team here I'd get season tickets in a heartbeat.

NBA: offseason is bestseason
MLB: lol
(People still appreciate the Expos here in Montreal, I've noticed, but I also get the sense that the city would never get a team again even if MLB was desperate. If Coyotes fans want to know how bad it could really get, look no further than the 95-04 Expos...)

Really only care about the Flyers. I worked in a sports store all through highschool though so I HAD to have a working knowledge of other sports. I watch pretty much any NFL because I love fantasy football. If I HAD to pick a team it would probably be the Giants because I went to those games as a kid. I've learned a bunch about baseball from my grandpa who is a huge yankees fan so I can watch that too.
In general though I just enjoy sitting and watching any sport (except NBA regular season), but the Flyers are the only team that causes ulcers for me.
O forgot College...
Football: My stepdad went to PSU so I'll keep on cheering for them regardless of the recent shit.
Basketball: Georgetown
Hockey (though I don't watch nearly enough): North Dakota. My biological dad played on their equivalent of the "jv" team there for one year before busting his knee.
Baseball... Yeah no.
