They were asked to rate themselves on a scale from zero to 10, where zero means you are not a sports fan at all, five means you are an average sports fan and 10 means you are a super sports fan. The chart below details where avid fans of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball and the PGA Tour rate themselves (ESPN Sports Poll).
