Pretty easy, here. Mine is whichever horse is the favorite to win the Triple Crown in any given year. I almost cried last year when California Chrome lost the Belmont.

A few years back my elementary school friend Jayne got me interested in Roller Derby league in Philadelphia and I not only became a fan but I made some friends with the leagers. I'd say my favorite player is Goldy. Here's her stats: http://phillyrollerderby.com/player/goldy/

I don´t really follow any kind of sport in tv.
The only thing I watch sometimes is snooker. My fav. is Neil Robertson (the thunder from down under )

Football: Peyton Manning. He is one of the very few football players I can respect and admire (although the Broncos did pick up a kid from my school in the draft, so I'll be keeping my eye on him).
NASCAR: Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Brad Keselowski. Truex drives for the home-state team, though, so he ranks pretty highly as well. L.O.A.T.H.E. Danica, although I guess she is getting better. Love American Pharoah to bits.
