"PinterestFacebookWith my sisters (pre cancer!) at the 2000 World Series, which the Mets lost to the Yankees. U.G.H.\nRandom, but I want to talk about sports today. Maybe it&amp;#39;s because baseball season has started, maybe it&amp;#39;s because Alex and I have been kicking the soccer ball around the backyard or maybe it&amp;#39;s because I&amp;#39;ve spent the last few weeks watching the NCAA tourney. As I think you know, prior to the 30-minutes-on-the-treadmill routine that I&amp;#39;ve adopted over the past 10 years, I was a fairly serious athlete. I grew up playing soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball and pretty much every other sport I could get into it. But I am also a big fan. Especially when there is hot dogs and beer involved. Here, in order of importance, are my favorite teams/sports:\n\nThe New York Mets. My whole family has been fans since before birth. And while the past few seasons have been gigantic disappointments, we still love them. And guess what? They are huge supporters of the Leukemia &amp;amp; Lymphoma Society&amp;#8212;next week they&amp;#39;re hosting a welcome back dinner after opening day at Citi Field and proceeds go to the LLS. I&amp;#39;m not gonna make it but my sisters are representing (I&amp;#39;m secretly hoping David Wright falls in love with Meghan....).\n\n\nThe Vols (University of Tennessee, baby). We won the national championship in football while I was there. The program has steadily declined since then but things may be looking up. Also, duh, the women&amp;#39;s basketball team. And the men&amp;#39;s team&amp;#8212;who also have a cancer connection&amp;#8212;but I am currently mad at them because I (stupidly and with no knowledge) picked them to go to the elite 8 and, well, they lost in the first round.\n\n\nMichigan State basketball. This is strictly for Nick, who has been a lifelong fan of the Spartans. He was like a little kid yesterday, so excited that his team was playing for the championship. I was with him and all of his Michigan buddies when MSU won the title back in 2000 (the starting five were all from Nick&amp;#39;s home town, Flint, and they were called the &amp;quot;flintstones&amp;quot;). I was also with him last night but sadly there was no repeat.\n\n\nI will always love Peyton Manning so I root for the Colts when I can. And we like Eli and the Giants but we&amp;#39;re definitely more Jets fans. (Though, if I&amp;#39;m being completely honest, I have a tough time getting into football until the playoffs.) We also like University of Michigan football (Well, Nick does...I have a tough time with them since Charles Woodson won the Heisman over Peyton).\n\n\nTiger Woods and Phil Mikelson and a million other golfers. I find watching golf incredibly relaxing. And watching Tiger? Insane. (Did you catch his comeback last weekend? I did. I was by myself and yelling at the TV...then I couldn&amp;#39;t stop smiling for like an hour). I am super excited for the Masters this weekend. And Cadbury eggs.\n\nFull disclosure: I do not care for NBA basketball, hockey, car racing or horse racing. I do love the Olympics, the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, etc., and I can definitely get into the World Cup....\nOK, who&amp;#39;s your team? What&amp;#39;s your sport? GO, FIGHT, WIN!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
