Which team are you rooting for in the NFL playoffs? If you're not a football fan, tell me something interesting.

Hey Jimmy!
Well, TBH, I'm Canadian, so I generally wind up rooting for teams that you've probably never heard of. If I had to pick a team for this season, I'd definitely have to go with the Giants, if only because I'm a fan of New York City in general.
So, to be fair, I'll also tell you something interesting. I'm currently taking courses at Oxford University in England, and am studying in a bunch of areas in the Bodleian Library where Harry Potter was filmed. To get into those areas, you have to actually swear an oath that you won't light any fires in the building - and apparently the Potter film crew tried to, and got thrown out. So they had to build a replica of the Bodleian for any scene where characters carry torches. True story. I've also had supper at a pub where Tolkein used to visit, and tonight I'm probably having supper at a place where CS Lewis used to hang out.
Also, we've been warned to look out whenever we're approaching hedges, in case we step on a hedgehog. No joke.

I'm a girl from Malaysia and American Football were aired sometimes here but I really have no idea about NFL. You can asked me anything about Soccer though since it's more popular here
Something interesting about me. My first Survivor ORG was in 2002. I was 12 back then and I made it to the Final 3. I'm addicted to American TV Shows and I watched a lot of tv during my freetime. From Dexter to Gossip Girl to Keeping Up With Kardashians.
I'm a big fan of music also. My current favorites are Adele, Lana Del Ray & Florence & The Machine. That's all from me, I guess

Hey Jimmy!

I'm Canadian too, so I try to catch a game or two in the playoffs but I don't see many games during the regular season. But this year I'm rooting for the Ravens and the 49ers. I like teams that play hard and are deserving, but aren't necessarily the most obvious choice, like the Packers or the Patriots.
5 randomly semi-interesting facts about me...
1) I love TV. Like, I'm probably a TV-aholic and should probably go to weekly meetings for it. Aside from all of the competitive reality shows (Survivor, Big Brother, Apprentice, etc), my favourite shows are Big Bang Theory, Terra Nova, and Wipeout. But then I also watch all the crime procedural shows like CSI, Flashpoint, Rookie Blue, Criminal Minds and Law & Order...
2) I'm really superstitious, especially with the number 13... so when I listen to CDs, I never listen to the 13th song. Or when I watch TV and my show is on channel 13, I have to find it on a different channel... it bugs the crap out of my friends.
3) I'm Canadian... I don't have a pet beaver, moose or polar bear, but I do have a golden retriever named Striker, 3 goldfish that I haven't named because the last ones died shortly after I named them, and a duck that always hangs out in my backyard.
4) I've always been a fan of computer animation, and like making animations even though I'm not very good at it.
5) Whenever I eat candy, I always eat the red ones last. Whether it's Smarties, M&Ms, Jubejubes, Gummy Bears, whatever, the red ones are always last.
Thanks for the Q's, Jimmy!
