I thought it would be interesting to have a thread to discuss sports, favorite teams, current happenings and such around the world of sports

first, my favorite teams

Football - Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) and Penn State (college)
Baseball - Boston Red Sox
Hockey - Pittsburgh Penguins
Basketball - no real NBA teams, but i like University of Pittsburgh in college

i don't watch too many other sports that much except for golf, i like phil mickelson, fellow lefty ( even though i play guitar righty)

and by the way Barry Bonds hit 2 homeruns today making him only 2 back of Hank Aarons record

so discuss anything sports..... favorite teams, todays happenings, sports history, your own games, whatever

Baseball: SF Giants
Football: Oakland Raiders

Don't watch Hockey or Basketball.

I watch tons of Auto Racing

Well being a native of the Washington Metropoilitan area its easy, I'm a homer!
Washington Redskins till death
Washington Nationals - season ticket holder - glad we got the game back!
Washington Capitals
Maryland Terrapins hoops - fear the turtle!
Don't really get into pro basketball or soccer so no favorites there.
When the Senators left the second time I became a Cincy Red's fan.

haha it always the broncos year, yet it never happens... they may actually have a chance if cutler stays healthy and gets in the groove of things and the defense steps it up.... i like the steelers, but they need some improvements if they want a chance to make it to the playoffs with some of the teams in the AFC... i hope Mike Tomlin works out as the new coach, i like him

After the terrible season the Raiders had last year I would be happy with an 8-8 season. There have been quite a few changes in the Raider Nation this off season and I look forward to a decent year.

the raiders probably won't make the playoffs, but the season should be an improvement with the addition of JaMarcus Russell and some other draft picks plus a youthful, fiery head coach who may help them out a lot... i guess only time will tell


by the way the bonds is in Milwaukee tonight (game 805 Eastern time).... hes 3 back of the all time record, 2 back of tying it.... i have a feeling he may hit one deep, but not enough to leave the park, i don't think he'll follow up on the 2 HR performance of yesterday, but thats my though.... every one of his AB's is on ESPN live (they cut to it from w/e is on)

No doubt, the Raiders will not make the playoffs, but just about anything is an improvement over last year. They did good in the draft and also picked up a few others.

Bonds may hit one out tonight but I doubt he will hit two. The Comissioner is in Milwaukee for the game tonight.

i thought the commissioner wasn't going to attend... i think he should, but i doubt he'll break it in this series so theres no real need for him to be there.... when he does break it though, he probably won't be there, as he said he most likely won't.... i personally think he should, but w/e

BTW First at bat tonight and he grounds out.

ya i saw barry ground out.... and as for no baseball, that stinks.... but its no big deal i guess, its different going to other places becasue of the different sports preferences... like in america, no on really watches MLSoccer, even with Beckham coming, i don't think it will draw much popularity to the sport
