So we have the Superbowl coming up, the ice hockey and basketball seasons are about half way through... so can the Celtics go all the way this year? Will the Patriots ever lose again? Who is going to the Superbowl? Will you be watching the Superbowl? Who do we all support in the respective sports?
Answers in this thread!
For the record, I've been a New England Patriots and a Boston Red Sox fan for about four years now, I started supporting the Red Sox based entirely on location, Boston is a fantastic city and the sports scene is excellent. I started supporting the Pats in 2004, I switched on the TV late one night, the Superbowl was on, watched the build up... was a team in blue (Pats) versus a team in green (Eagles)... pretty much 50/50 choice between which team got my support before kickoff... I fell asleep pretty soon afterwards and spent all the next day trying to find out who won!!! Turned out the Pats won, so I picked the right team! I really got behind the Bruins last season and the Celtics half way through last year, although I follow their progress a lot less than the Pats and Red Sox.
I also play amateur American football over here in the BAFL league for the South Yorkshire (formerly Doncaster) Mustangs as a lineman, defensive and offensive when the situation calls for it, and last year wore #68 jersey. Our website, when its up and running, is http://www.doncastermustangs.org/ and here is another helpful website for anyone new to the game who wants to understand the rules http://www.getintoamericanfootball.com/.
Hope this thread takes off! I know already there are a few closet gridiron fans here! Even if it is just playing lots of Madden!
), so I recognised the names of a lot of their players, and David Garrard's 32 yard run on 4th down the week before was as exciting as anything I've seen whilst watching live.
