    <u>I run track</u> - (won first at the meet and then at the boards and regionals placing 3rd in whole region)

    <u>Football</u> - play on rep team, and 2 other leagues winning MVP in 2 of 3 leagues.

    I watch soccer, but am not that good. You can say my ball handling isn't good.

    <u>golf</u> - live 2 blocks away from a range

    <u>hockey </u>- I only watch the playoffs and not the regular season

    I play football and my favorite team is the Argos and Packers.

    I watch a bit of hockey and play it on the PS2, but do not play outdoors.

    Basketball takes up 4 hours of my day though, so I basically have no time to do anything else.

    The only sport I play on a regular basis is basketball. The only other sport I play is Golf.

    Sports I like to watch: I'm really trying to get into soccer right now. After watching Eurocup with my buddies it seems like a really fun game (other than the low scores). As for favourite players I have none. Juan Carlos Valeron, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Thierry Henry.Those are the only players I know.

    Right now if you were to ask who knows David Beckham, the whole world would say yes. If the same question were to be asked about Pele, not everyone would say they know him.

    Beckham is more of a household name worldwide like Jordan was, plus hes one of the best players in the world.

    I don't much of Becks now man, after he missed two penalties in the Euros. Blame it on bad stadiums, but the fact is he missed them twice in like 4 attempts, and penalty kicks are even easier than free throws.

    One penalty was just an excellent guess by Fabien Barthez, you can't blame Beckham for that one.

    As for the second, yes that was disapointing.

    He never had 4 attempts so wtf? lol.

    One kick (I don't count the one against France), regardless he is still the best set pieces kicker in the world, and one of the best all around players (an example 3 of his free kicks, or corners turned into goals).
