I am just curious .... how many people in this forum really care about life after football and baseball. Maybe its just me with limited time in my life, I used to follow basketball and hockey but both are snooze fests after the big two in my life .....

Baseball whereby is the perfect summer game, sit outside or indoors and listen to a slow paced, interesting game along with stats, commentary, etc., relax and enjoy a cold one, and get a nice adrenaline rush thrill when a home run is hit.
I like football better, but I don't think it's really fair to compare the two games - they're clearly different in my view and fully intended to be different...although a guy like Ty Cobb, the way he played the game, might disagree. LOL
Basketball and hockey - great sports no doubt about it, but I just somewhere along the way lost interest in basketball, and was never really interested in hockey.
-
1) MLB
2) NFL
3) Tie between College Footbal/Basketball
4) A Little bit of golf.
It is also a big factor that the only major sports team in my city is a basketball team. GO SPURS!!!!!!!

Looking for Al Hrabosky and any OPC Dave Campbells (the ESPN guy)
I love playing tennis, but watching it is about as exciting as golf, and either one of those two are terrible to watch.
Baseball - only a passing interest from time to time, it is hard to get into a long grinding season of 162 games and playoffs that seem
to last almost until Halloween. I will go to a few minor league games this summer because they are only a few miles from where I live
and it is a nice way to kick back on a Friday night but I can't see taking the time and expense in driving all the way to Detroit to see
the Tigers.
Basketball - the NCAA tournament can be exciting with the one and done format if you lose but I don't spend a lot of time following the
sprort in general.
Hockey - no interest.
but i think they defined it perfectly
"Baseball is Americas background music"
Football is more passionate, but it only comes once a week, baseballs always there, starts in spring, lasts all summer long and fades away in october.
Baseball and hockey are equally important to me, and I try to watch as many games as I can for each sport.
I like the NFL but I'm much more interested in stats than trying to watch a game, honestly I fall asleep during an NFL game at least 4-5 times per season.
I can't watch basketball anymore (was a die hard Celts fan in my teens), but I actually like to listen to the Raptors on the radio.
As far as golf goes, when a Canadian is in the running to win, it does interest me, and I'll admit I watched all of the final round the year Tiger won the Canadian Championship. Otherwise, I don't watch.
Nascar, not alot of Nascar fans up here as far as I know, probably has alot to do with climate.

I'll watch playoff football, not reg. season games.
hockey and basketball don't do it for me.
I'll watch tennis (grand slam events)
I watch candlepin bowling

You mean you just want to go back to sleep again? Whats they point?
I used to watch a lot of hockey and some basketball, but I can't stand either anymore.
I do enjoy baseball and college football the most.
I enjoy watching hockey, but there isn't as much passion as with the big 2.
Agreed about basketball. It's very boring to me.
The only other sport I care to see is world cup soccer. Very passionate.
Baseball is set deep in my heart. It's a father/son thing for me. It was an everyday thing
for me as a child. It was a hot summers night in my room with an antenna tv watching any
game I could find (back in the 70's). Baseball is great, live, in HD, or on the WII !
However, I may be the rarity on the board who loves hockey. Once the playoffs start I am watching games most every night.
1) MLB
2) College Football
3) NFL
4) College Basketball
5) College Baseball
6) NBA
7) Hockey
Another 10-15 years though may change that.

Go Stars!
<< <i>Baseball nicely fills the gap when there is no hockey to watch. I lost all interest in the NBA years ago and it will not return until they make dunks worth -2 points. Football is still a great sport, but all the franchise shifts and my own moves left me without a team - and I would much prefer a meal of broken glass to rooting for the Cowboys.
Go Stars! >>
dallas ..... franchise shifts I can see. But WHO CARES where YOU move?
Basketball ...... who cares
Hockey .... its better then basketball but FOR ME its still a snooze fest.

I couldn't agree more, that is my exact order as well. March is the best month of the year, Spring Training, Nice weather coming soon, March Madness, what more does a growing boy need?
