I also own 35, 85 and 135
I usually go out with the 35 plus one of the others.
I use the 85 mainly for portraits while the 135 is a better overall tele lens for candid/landscape/sport travel photography.
If you are going to use it mainly for sports i would consider the canon 200 2.8 if the focal length fits better

Unless you are using the 85L I would include a 135L for any outdoor portraiture when the goal is to render good bokeh.  (talking full-length portraiture)   I found the 85 f/1.8 inadequate for full-length but fine for head and shoulders.
