Favorite time of the year!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. There's just something about the cooler weather, and watching football that inspire me to cook and bake. The Dolphins usually play at 10am our time, so I am usually cooking early Sunday mornings, preparing some kind of game day snacks. So I am wondering... do you have a favorite sports team (football, or baseball or basketball) and what is your favorite appetizer or snack?
