    Tough call. Split on PGA and NFL. Edge to The Duffers.

    NFL

    NFL for me and it's not even close.

    I don't follow minor league players so prospects to me are just names where as I know the big name players in college so the Draft adds to the excitement of the NFL season

    NFL

    NFL then NHL both keep me busy most of the year then Summer comes around and other stuff gets me through to the following season. Gets long towards end of August each year. But finally the 2025-26 NFL season starts in just 2 days.

    Ya gotta love Sir Charles.

    i recall on Philly talk radio, when Charles played for the Sixers, some of the hosts and guests would openly talk about how Charles was such an easy mark on the golf course.

    Charles knew he was an easy mark, and I guess he had such a fat NBA contract, he didn't mind losing some of it on the golf course. LOL

    Other

    Went with Other - my favorite is college football and with NIL it’s basically professional now. Still love everything about it much more than any other sport.

    NBA

    It has been and probably always will be the NBA. Even with all of the issues, changes, attitudes,concerns, problems, etc...I have been a fan since 1992 and although my time spent with it seems to deteriorate every year, it's still the one pro sport that I get excited about every mid-late October!

    NBA

    My vote will always be the NBA but after the Celtics just jettisoned about 60% of their payroll one year after winning the Finals, there’s really not much to get excited for this winter lol.

    I only really watch the NBA during playoff time. the style of play and load management fiasco have really turned me off to watching any of the LONG regular season.

    I know they never would because of attendance/ratings etc. but I think they should just have a 3-4 week play in regular season. all teams would have to be playing hard all the time to make it to the playoffs. no more load management.

    just get us to the meat and potatoes.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    With Tatum being out it doesn't add to the excitement either

    Nor does the No Centers approach they’re currently going with lol.

    One thing that I am looking forward to is Payton Pritchard finally getting a larger role in their offense. That dude is probably going to break some C’s 3pt records this year.

    I watched a short YT clip of Chuck getting interviewed by Bill Simmons yesterday and Barkley has that whole turkey neck thing going on. He looks like he’s lost a ton of weight.

    I've always thought he was a beast, definately looking forward to seeing him play more
