    Tell why pro-football should be America's favorite sport because of all the hard hitting action that goes on during the game, and during the Superbowl more people in America watch that then anything else on television.

    For years, I was never a college sports fan. To me, the turnover in players and the lack of big, superstar names (mind you, this is five to ten years ago) always put a damper on it for me. But now, college sports are rising. I was once a big NBA fan, but I've grown more away from that and started to appreciate the college game more.

    But as previously said, I think that a lot of our favoritism comes and goes. What I like now, I might not like in 10 years, and so on.

    There isn't a sport I don't like.

    But I'll try to list them as best I can:

    Baseball
    Basketball
    Football
    Hockey
    Soccer

    Everything else.

    I've tried to watch tennis with the same passion as the past, but since Sampras retired it's tough.
