Sports
While I do not play any now, with the exception of a video game version every now and again, I did play high school football and still play a game of chess, though nothing spectacular.

Pro Sports
I have watched baseball and football most of my life. I picked up hockey when the local pro team went to the playoffs in the mid-90's and soccer when Germany hosted the World Cup. I do not watch most sports on a regular basis, they take to long and I usually do not have the chance to watch, though I tend to make room for the post-season, even if my team is not there, it is fun to watch - especially since it pits the best teams against one another and can be much more entertaining then watching real bad teams play, though that has its highlights.

As for teams, Football I have always liked the New York Giants in the National League and the Miami Dolphins in the American League while baseball has always been the New York Mets. I never really picked an AL team in baseball though I do like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays if I were to choose, I have been kind of following them for more then 10 years and they are the only team I have actually seen - I watch them play the Florida Marlins the year the Marlins won the World Series. I did not pick up hockey until the New Jersey Devils went to the Stanley Cup in 1995 and have been following hockey since. As for the other big sports in America, I do not watch either Basketball or Nascar since neither really appeal to me. Soccer - the world's sport - has only been an interest of mine for a few years now and most because Germany hosted it. I have taken in interest in the Germany, not really noting their qualifiers which I never find, but have watched their last two major events - World Cup 2006 and Euro Cup 2008. As far as pro teams are concerned I do not really keep up with any league though I would probably pick FC Bayern Munich because I was in Munich when they won the Bundesliga in 2008.
