1. Favorite team(s)? Pittsburgh Steelers (duh) and the Miami Dolphins
2. Favorite sport to watch? NFL Football
3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? The Steelers fourth SB win when I was a kid growing up in Pittsburgh. I wasn't old enough to fully appreciate the game itself, but there was no mistaking the pure joy that was everywhere. It was known at teh time as the greatest thing to ever happen to Pittsburgh.
4. Least favorite sport? College football. Yeah, I know that sounds absurd gievn that I love the NFL, but I have some residual disgust left over from the years I worked in university admissions and witnessed some major abuses of the academic system in favor of football players and at the expense of hardworking students who took their education seriously and didn't have scholarships and perks to ride on.
5. Any crazy sports-related stories? One time, my coworkers and I went to a Pgh Pirates game. Three guys were sitting behind us, one of whom started talking to me. A conversation ensued, followed by a request for a date, which I accepted. Shortly after the date, I got a phone call from his wife (and mother of their four kids) who found my phone number in his pocket. You could say she was pissed. Eventually I managed to convince her I didn't know the douche was married with kids and she stopped screaming at me and apologized, but that was one mortifying conversation. I really felt bad for her.
1. Favorite team(s)? Oklahoma State Cowboys, Dallas Mavs, OKC Thunder, BoSox
2. Favorite sport to watch? CFB, NCAA men's BB, and NBA.

3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? Hm...not many great moments in recent ND history. :-P Our '02 win over Florida State was good though (I got to travel there for marching band). If we'd won the USC game in '05 I would have been at the greatest game ever - I'd never seen the stadium like that.
4. Least favorite sport? NASCAR
5. Any crazy sports-related stories? The day after our wedding at ND, my MOH ran into Brady Quinn at the South Bend airport - he'd been back in town for a charity event. She went up to him and told him why she'd been in town, and got him to sign the only book she had on her. So now DH and I are the proud owners of a copy of The Last Lecture containing a personal message from Brady Quinn.
1. Favorite team(s)? MN Vikings - I bleed purple.
2. Favorite sport to watch? NFL hands down, nothing tops it. Most other sports are pretty boring for me to watch on TV but hockey and baseball are great to see in person.

3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? I have two...2005 Capital One Bowl - Iowa vs. LSU, sometimes called the "Magic City Miracle" with Iowa winning an impossible win on a final pass from Drew Tate to Warren Holloway. Second, 2009 AL Central tie breaker game. Twins win over Tigers. I was screaming for so.long. after both of these!

5. Any crazy sports-related stories? At Iowa, I worked at the "Training Table," which is where the football team has their own private cafeteria. I got to meet all of the Hawkeye football players and coaches over a 3 year time span. I still hold it as my favorite job ever

2. Favorite sport to watch? baseball primarily, but football is a close second
3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? Game 5 of last year's ALCS. The Sox were down 0-7 in the 7th inning and came back to win 8-7. It was awful for the first 6 innings, but the 7th, 8th, and 9th made it an amazing game to be at.

I did this too, except it was at a bar during the second round after Greg Odon shoved Xavier's Justin Doellman out of bounds. Apparently it's A-OK to shove a guy when he's mid-air because, "that is how the game is played".

2. Favorite sport to watch? Football, I have had season tix for the Eagles for about 15 years
3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? The World Series parade last year and even though the Eagles lost, being at the 2005 Super Bowl was pretty cool
4. Least favorite sport? soccer
5. Any crazy sports-related stories? Oh man, too many to mention. One of my favorites was double header day - I went to a 1pm Eagles game, tailgated afterward, changed into a Flyers shirt, walked across the street to the 7pm Flyers game and took the subway home. Both wins - a perfect day!
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
I just noticed this sports board and it makes me quite happy since I love my sports!
1. Favorite team(s)? Gators for anything they play and then I stick to my Central Florida roots for pro teams with the Magic, Bucs (no matter how bad this year has been), Rays and Lightning. And I'm a huge NASCAR fan - Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver.
2. Favorite sport to watch? College football.
3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? Probably has to be the 1997 Florida-Florida State game that my Gators won 32-29 when Florida State came in ranked #1. We stayed for what seemed like an hour after the game celebrating before leaving the Swamp.
4. Least favorite sport? Probably golf. It's not very exciting to me on tv.
5. Any crazy sports-related stories? It's between getting up at 5AM to get leftover student tickets for the 1999 Florida-Tennessee game on the day of the game and letting the mob run ahead of us because I was not risking being trampled and there were still tickets or camping out in the rain and mud at Darlington, SC for the Labor Day weekend race in 2002 and dealing with too much drama, but seeing Jeff Gordon win!
1. Favorite team(s)? New England Patriots, Pitt Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Red Sox
2. Favorite sport to watch? Patriots Football
3. Greatest sports moment you've experienced? watching the Sweet 16 Happen ...
4. Least favorite sport? tennis, golf, && soccer
5. Any crazy sports-related stories? I live a couple miles away from Pittsburgh, and I'm a Patriot fan ... so everything that has happened to me isn't appropriate to say... but I'll say this much- the Pittsburgh people hate me, which is dumb, just because I like another team. Deal with it! If we all liked the same team, we'd have nothing to talk about && football wouldn't be fun to watch. It's the fun of any sport...everyone loving a different team
GO PATRIOTS> I 
you Mr. Brady & Mr. Welker. Get Better Mr. Edelman!!!
