With that being said, I do watch American football occasionally, but I consider myself a rugby man.
i didn't realise that Rugby was a recognised sport in the States- presumably the Union code - i assume then you have a national team - Rugby League is my other great watch and of course basically ruled by northern teams - my team would be Wigan Warriors - not a helmet , shoulder pad in sight -

Big Syracuse basketball fan here. Already penciling in my bracket.

If anyone wants to share in the misery of being a New York Mets fan, I'm here.

Come on, its where he is from... Kimi won a WDC (should have been two) with the anti-personality (unless he was in a strip club). It is like diving a Brazilian driver a hard time because he is fiery!
Lauda and Schumacher weren't exactly personality kings, both of the did OK.

We have a national team, the Eagles. I played Rugby in college and a very brief stint on the US Army Engineer club as a center (OK centre) both inside and outside. Loved the game where in American football I was never able to match the raw speed of many of my teammates, conditioning in Rugby allowed me to punch above my weight so to speak.
Edit forgot, yes it is union predominately here. I played well before the union's move to more league like rules so it was much more of a chess match then. I think I would have liked to have played league rules as I like watching it more.

I only last week learned the term 'Assluge' - As a winter sport enthusiast, I am interested in finding more info about this sport: where / how they train, what gear, etc. As of this moment, I have no idea how it differs from regular luge.

That would mean he should know how to spend money and have a hot girl on his arm, I assume he can use a credit card with the best of them and Vivian is quite pretty!
In the end I am just not a Hammy fan, there have only been three drivers I would have had to hold my nose if they drove for Ferrari: James Hunt, Juan Pablo Montoya and Lewis. There is a fourth driver that would have been worse than all of them but in deference to his tragic death (when he forgot to turn left at Tamburello. What? Too soon?) I do not mention my seething dislike of him.
