Five random sports questions

[Zavulon]

1.) If you're playing in an NCAA bracket, how many of your Final Four teams are still alive as of your answer?

(Three in my case, I just lost Wisconsin; Louisville, Texas and UCLA remain)

2.) In retrospect, what was your dumbest pick?

(Temple over Michigan State)

3.) Who do you think will win the Stanley Cup?

(No secret who I'm rooting for, but I think San Jose will win it)

4.) Who are your all-time most loved athletes and most hated ones?

(Guy Lafleur and Tie Domi)

5.) Same question for teams?

(Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs)

3. Mine

1) 3. UCLA, Kansas, and Texas. I lost Tennessee

2) Probably Tennessee to reach the final 4 but I had Arizona in the Elite 8

3) Detroit (But I'm a very casual NHL observer)

4) Love Wade Boggs hate Bill Laimbeer (aside from his Land of the Lost work)

5) Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees

[taterguy]

4. Five answers

1) Two of my Final Four teams are left in my bracket

2) Dumbest pick was picking Oregon to win games just so I'd have an excuse to post this pic



3) Cities where it doesn't snow should not have NHL teams. And I have no idea who's going to win the Stanley Cup

4) Most loved athlete is this guy, for obvious reasons



Of course Katerina Witt inspired a different type of love.

Don't really have a most hated athlete but Jeff Gordon annoys me. (And don't you dare accuse NASCAR of not being a sport)

5) Most loved sports team was the 1978 Duke basketball team. They were almost a war movie cliche: Five guys from very different backgrounds achieving the nearly impossible. (Ok, maybe Goose Givens should be my most hated athlete since he deprived them of the title that year)

Most hated sports team is the Dallas Cowboys. The hatred stems from childhood and how evil they seemed for being the first sports franchise to extensively use computers, which seems a bit laughable now but I'm still holding a grudge.

Edited to change most beloved athlete
