Hey - I said Football! That should be interpreted as being SOCCER by a die-hard soccer fan! :D Sorry about that - didn't mean to leave soccer out, but those were just examples. I also forgot to mention Arena football (Go Rattlers!), Pro Golf, NASCAR, Bowling, Tennis, etc... My apologies if I forgot anyone's sport.

Ahhh.. That's okay - that's just a minor detail. We can chime in on our favorite college teams, too... NCAA FB - ASU SunDevils. NCAA BB - Whoever's beating Duke. :D

Sorry... The only Celtics I know are from Boston with a little Leprechaun and Clover on their uniforms. I didn't know you could pronounce it another way. :D (j/k) But I'll still call you SELLticgent, because I'm stubborn. :r

Tom, I knew you were always a closet Leafs fan. I don't blame you, it's tough being a leaf fan in Chicago.

I'm with ya on that - Coach K. is great. And Duke's program is unreal. I guess I just like to see someone ELSE win every once in a while, hehe. :D
I personally like to see the Cinderella teams make it to the elite eight and final four.. :D

I agree I hate Duke but They do play in the best and hardest conference in NCAA basketball the ACC. You know the Home of my national champion UNC Tarheels. All other conferences in college bball are like minor league teams to the ACC. The ACC is the standard in college basketball.

You got Vince Carter from us(Toronto) and he totally turned it around. Krstic is going to be one of the best centers in the NBA, you guys were lucky with him.

Vince has been a pleasant surprise. I thought the guy had no heart for the game left but I guess he just wanted a change.

By the way, I love your city. I was there last for the Sars Benefit concert and want to get back there soon!

Beautiful Bobby Eaton and Sweet Stan Lane... I remember those good ol' days - I saw them live a couple times at Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC... They were my favorite tag team back in the day.

Yeah - the Sonics had a helluva team back in 96 - Kemp, Schempf, Payton, Hawkins and Perkins. Perkins was the only center I can think of that would lob up a three regularly. :D
