There's no greater sport than mod baiting. It's the most popular one on the forum.

Yeah, a UK forum - talkmagic.co.UK - so how about we refer to football in the way its meant in English and refer to your U.S. football as American Football!

+ I'm a Rugby man

Um, that's what I was saying. I'm confused, are you insulting American football? Are you saying that the U.S. should call soccer football? I don't understand!

Not a regular name to appear on anyones list.

Bit of a coincidence actually, I am an Oxford fan. Short of Burton hitting 30 gaols in their last three games we made the play offs on Saturday

Old fart alert but, "Golf" is my sport both watching and playing......

I'm into running and swimming mainly, both doing and watching. I'm a big fan of Paula Radcliffe, met her once too

I can watch football sometimes and Dave's dragged me along to watch Kent in the cricket a few times, which can actually make quite a nice day if the weather's good.

To watch:

Rugby 4/5/6/7/8/9 (whatever) Nations
Boxing (middle to heavy weight or 3 round amateur)
Snooker (I like anyone except Stephen Hendry)
Hurling (the Irish one)
Aussie Rules Football
Kabaddi

I have no real fave teams or players, so long as people with attitude get beat and the game is good quality. There were some rubbish Rugby matches this year.

To play:

Snooker table games, like Slosh
Dart board games (Marvell rules Killer is best)

I used to be quite good in Handball (I played in the second national division in Greece) , but I had to stop because of my studies. I also play pool and snooker, table tennis and basket ball.
I love to watch football of course and I'm a Panathinaikos FC supporter in Greece but I also watch a lot of european matches as well.

I'd have to say UFC love to watch it to my partners disgust but nevermind. Looking for somewhere local that teaches MMA so i can do it aswell as watch it. Best fighter is Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell the current LHW Champ.

I also forgot to mention that my best sport to play is American Football. I remember in my Freshman year at high school, I ran this kid down. It was during practice and he was trying to run the ball past me. I just ran straight at him with my head down and laid him out. I was fine but he got the wind knocked out of him and couldn't stand for 20 minutes . Ahhhhhhh, those were the days.

I'm with Jim...Another shout out for MMA over here...Without doubt the best sport on the planet...Nothing even comes close...It is the sport which makes the most sense and shows what people truly want to see...

Favourite fighters right now are 'The Iceman' Chuck Liddell (UFC Lightheavyweiht champion), 'The Natural' Randy Couture (UFC heavyweight champion) and Rich 'Ace' Franklin (former UFC middleweight champion)...

Looking for somewhere to go and learn but finding a place is tougher than a Chuck Liddell knuckle hamburger!...

umm...guess what... I'm Canadian....

HOCKEY.

I used to play hockey when I was at school, always used to come come with horrible bruises on my shins because of it.

I used to be a hockey goalie. Newspapers down the socks there.

First person to guess mine wins a personal applause from me

I also go swimming every week or so...
