Rugby
occasionally basketball.

Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Fishing and cricket
Main ones would be snooker, golf, tennis, Gaelic and hurling. Don't know if you want to count chess as a sport? (Playing, obviously, less so than watching!). Often stop by the bowler for a couple of games on the way out to UCD games of an evening.
Always enjoy watching olympic handball, volleyball and darts when they're on, even the occasional bit of show jumping.
Have a particular dislike for rugby, cricket and most American sports (bar ice hockey) - find them far too tedious!
Only ones that I would actively go out of my way to watch would be either of the two main GAA, cricket, ice hockey or Rugby League but apart from the GAA wouldn't take more than a passing interest in them. I would include darts in the list but according to Radio 5 last night its not even classified as a sport!
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
I'd watch nearly anything bar GAA and animal racing. Baseball is quite tedious as well.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Partial to the odd slice of any sport bar Eggchasing.
Preferences would have to be hurling, football and tennis. Been known to take days off school for the cricket world cup also (as another member has previously alluded to with some amusement)!!
Mens sana in corpore sano
Hurling, Darts, Poker
To watch: Rugby, Cycling, F1, Golf, Cricket are ones I'd try and get a look at, but ultimately I'd watch any sport on tele if there was nothing else on. Was watching the indoor bowls the other week, and the Darts is coming up.
To Participate: Golf is the only other one these days, and then only occasionally. Would like to get back into the coarse fishing as well, but it all seems to be fluff chucking and sea fishing in Wickla. Used to play rugby at school until injury forced me out (still reckon I'd scrumage better than Marcus Horan anyway).

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
I spent most of last summer watching paint dry, and I have to say that it's far better than watching cricket. To break the tedium I spent a morning watching grass grow, and in fairness, that has the edge on cricket too.Don't get me wrong, i like the pointlessness and snobbishness of it all, it's just that it's so deathly dull to watch.
It's hardly ever on, but I can never get enough of 4 man bobsleigh on TV. No idea why...
Tea. Corduroy. Space Travel.
Hurling, which I love watching,
Gealic football,
Basketball,
Baseball.
Rugby league.
Used to be into watching boxing but can't be bothered anymore.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Used to watch a lot of cricket, but find it harder these days to devote 5 days (or nights for the tours) to watching tv. Seemed to coincide with me leaving college and becoming a 'normal' member of society.
After footie would by hurling, or pretty much anything on tv.

Don't tell me you also used to go up to Alexandra Palace at the first bit of snow and ice and try see if you could get from the front door of the Palace and end up in Crouch End.

Played all of these to a decent level when I was younger, fitter and not carrying so much natural 'padding'
Rugby - Winger/Centre used to be small and fast
Hurling - full forward/back line. Played in Dublin for the school. Jackeens cant hurl for crap so a Cork Lánger looked a decent player up there
Gaelic Football - full forward line
Badminton
Baseball - catcher (the guy who stands behind the plate who the pitcher throws to)
Now it's only ever football and the odd game of Gaelic when the team is short a few players (Junior B!!).
IMO the best to play was Hurling.
Oh no not them again
