I tend to follow teams rather than individual athletes. Not to stereotype, but generally basketball fans tend to follow players more than teams. Stateside foreigners tend to follow countrymen ahead of teams. I know quite a few Swedes here, and when Forsberg left, they all became Flyers fans. Sorry, I find that stupid. That would be like me following Higgins, and if he ever left the Habs, I'd be a fan of his new team. What happens when Forsberg retires? Do these people stop liking hockey? Ha.

NFL: Steelers

F1: Ferrari

NHL: Habs

MLB: Rockies/Nationals

That's about it. Baseball, I don't care a whole lot about, other than going to Rockies games.

F1: Williams-Renault back in the Villeneuve days, dont follow that anymore either.

MLB: Expos before 1994.

NBA: Orlando Magic in the Shaq-Penny days. Dont follow that anymore either.

:lol:

That was exactly how I became an Avs fan after I followed Roy over. I kinda realized "What the hell am I gonna do when he retires?" when I was about 10 or 11. Hence why I've sticked with the Avs. Plus I started to really like Adam Foote as well. :P

He does. It's that kind of guy everyone appreciate.

(He doesnt look bad most of the time, but during the last World cup, he was so hairy ... :blink::lol: )

Oh, he's great. But I have to admit I've started to like him a lot more since he started to cool down a bit. Essentially I think he is good PR for the sport, but the outbursts he sometimes have (or maybe I should say had) where not good.

I think Higgins is my favourite player though. Or what's-his-name... the kid who I believe got some fort of cancer... Matthew Stevens? I also like Peter Ebdon, he's really a class act. :clap:

It's also great to see that some of the old heroes are still active and still among the top ranked players. John Parrott, Jimmy White, Tony Drago... I started getting interested in snooker about 15 years ago when Stephen Hendry was beginning to dominate.

And what about Steve Davis? Wow!

ADD: I wasn't thinking of Matthew Stevens, I was obviously thinking of Paul Hunter. D'oh!

Listening to the Expos with my clock radio under my pillow because I was supposed to be asleep - Dave Van Horne and Duke Snyder, "That ball is well hit. It's up, up, and away, a home run for Andre Dawson."

Chipper Jones

Hassan Arbubaker (lineman for the Ottawa Rough Riders long ago - but only because I'd go to games with my friend and we'd just enjoy shouting his name)

Steve Podborski

My father

There are probably more. You might note that the overriding theme with the athletes I like is class. Sure, there are some ego's in there, but in general, I like a player who understands his place in the grand scheme of things. Those are the people from whom I've taken my cues.
