    1. NCAA Football
    2. English Premier League
    3. MLB

    Because it only comes around every 4 years, I consider the World Cup an Olympic-like megaevent. Otherwise, it'd easily be #1.

    Far and away #1 is the NHL, especially Canadiens, Sabres & Penguins (and the Blues, of course).

    Distant 2nd: Golf, PGA then LPGA then Seniors.

    Distant 3rd: Women's Tennis...Sharapova's drubbing killed me the other night.


    I love the World Cup Soccer tournament, NCAA men's bball and good boxing matches. I like watching a baseball game on tv when there is a great pitcher like a Clemens for example.

    yawie99,

    I thought you liked hockey. I think I am mixing you up with someone else. Did you ever have an icon of Wayne Gretzky?


    1. MLB (by far)
    2. tennis (very distant second, I liked Edberg, Graf, ..... so I no longer watch it)
    3. Boxing (very distant third, I liked George Foreman and Mike Tyson, but now I don't watch it at all)

    World Cup Soccer would easily be #1 if I could put that followed by Summer and Winter Olympics occupying a spot alongside MLB. The only football or basketball I enjoyed was watching my high school play.

    Can't think of a third. I will channel flip and land on various other sporting events and might watch for a little while but there is nothing
    else that I could say I really "look forward" to seeing.

    You are correct. I've just lost a lot of interest in the NHL in the aftermath of the Lost Season. It's even worse this year than last. I still enjoy watching hockey, but I've followed MLB much more closely than the NHL over the last two years.

    Frankly, I'm ashamed of myself for listing these three sports as the top three. This was uncalled for and I apologize to all whom I have offended. I should have known better...the mud isn't that important. image

    The only sport I watch is NFL football.

    Stuff that's okay to have on in the background while I'm doing something else :

    2. college football
    3. PGA golf if the big names are playing

    Five minutes per night of ESPN news keeps me up on anything else I need to know about sports ...

    Since the Hockey strike

    1. MLB
    2. NASCAR
    3. NFL

    Can't get into hockey again as much as I've tried. NASCAR grew on me and I can't shake it.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    NCAA Hoops - Love the tourney, but I dig the regular season too.


    I actually just watched the PGA all weekend in HD(which I first got about 2 months ago). I couldn't turn it off. I felt like I was there. Highly entertaining.
