Football: I'll watch every Eagles game and a handful of other games, about half of the playoff games and the super bowl. I have several "oh wow" stories from the 1998-9 seasons where I worked on the Eagles website.

Hockey: I'll watch about 15 select Flyers games and most Flyers playoff games, and go to about 2 per season. I won't watch a full game of any other team during the regular season. I'll watch a handful of playoff games of other teams and as much of the Cup Final as I can catch, but I won't skip a social occasion to see 'em.

Soccer: spent a year of my growing-up in England, so it's deeply rooted in me, but there's no local MLS squad, and it's hard to follow the English leagues from here.

Basketball: despise it.

Baseball: mostly boycotted since the 94 strike.

Computer: enjoy almost all sports games on computer, but still don't have a console (to my shame). Play a lot of EA: NHL, FIFA. I also enjoy career league simulations, where you get to be the general manager of a team. It's like fantasy football on steroids, a rare niche of games that a minority of computer gamers go for. (You have to be that rare combination of total nerd and sports fan.)
