Mine would be a tie between NBA and MLB, depending on the time of year.

NHL!

Living in Montreal, the hockey Mecca, I live and breath the sport.

Still playing on two teams and coaching my daughters team.

Habs looking for that elusive 25th Cup!

I like NBA and MMA, but even MMA is more for social reasons  -- I like watching fights and having a beer with friends, but don't pay attention to standings.

I can find interest in NCAA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR or even FIFA if the time or teams are right, but don't follow them, in general.

Big Lightning fan here.  There are a ton of hockey fans in the Tampa/St. Pete area.

Welcome to the site, Brad.  Stop by the new Roll Call thread in Off-Topic and tell us about yourself.

I would say Arsenal in the English League and then Rangers in the NHL. The Yankees will get more attention from me this year. Not that they will win more than 85 games, but because they appeared to abandon their stupid belief that they are a playoff team and will now let some young talent have a chance to play.

NHL for me, for sure.
I want to like baseball, I really do.  I used to.  I still enjoy going to games.  But, the Marlins' ownership and front office has turned me sour on them.  Its too bad, really, because I think they could make some noise this year.

Other than that, there isn't a single other sport on that list I give 2 craps about.

I was just discussing with my wife tonight - about how NFL is so far out ahead of every other sport for my sports interest.  At the same time, I have Panthers' season tickets, and not Dolphins'.

While I follow the NHL and MLS (Go Lions) the NCAA is my second biggest following. During football my Saturday and Sunday are scheduled around football. Very little interrupts that. Can't forget the March Madness either.

Put me down for that as well.

MLB, clearly - NHL is a close second.

Die-hard Devils fan.  Really big Yankee fan, but not as much into baseball as I am hockey.  Hockey games are just so much more fun to go to as well.

I used to be a HUGE Dallas Stars fan, but after all the work stoppages, it was hard to get back into the NHL.  I'm afraid they're only going to hurt me again.

However, if all goes well financially over the summer, my wife told me we're getting the Center Ice package.  So, who am I to argue with that?  Grin  Might have to get myself a Tyler Sequin sweater.
