Which sports do you enjoy watching the most?
The NFL is the only thing I can stand watching these days, though I am becoming more of a hockey fan. I've never been able to watch baseball without finding myself bored to tears. There was a time when I was a big NBA fan, but now I find the games completely unwatchable and consider officiating to be a joke. I have a bit of Nascar knowledge thanks to my Dad, but I'm hardly a fan of that either (still better than the NBA).

After the last Winter Olympics, I became a big fan of Women's Curling ;)

Ice hockey, NFL football and baseball - pretty much in that order. Don't watch college sports and nothing else professional really resonates - though I sometimes follow tennis, I watch the Triple Crown horse races and will occasionally watch a big boxing match.

College Football (start with College Gameday, East coast game in the AM, Big 12 / SEC game during the afternoon, dinner, national game in the evening, Pac 12 / Pacific game at night / end the day with the College Football wrap-up show). Saturday's in the fall are awesome.

NFL on occassion.
Tennis
Hockey

World Cup soccer will be my attention every 4 years but thats about all the soccer I can stomach. Same with Olympics sports as well.

Tried watching cricket once in England and turned out I had 3 birthdays before the match ended.

1. Tabletop baseball (Strat-o-matic)
2. Baseball ( I actually watched all 9 innings of a Mariners - Red Sox game the other weekend. The score was low and the game fast paced).
3. Temnis

College football is #1.
MLB is a close second.

4. Rugby, when I can watch it.

My team won the Stanley Cup this season so it was a very good year for me.

You sure you guys aren't closet Canadians??? With all of you guys saying hockey, it sounds like it

Ice hockey is the only televised sport in North America that's worth watching.

Hockey is just people watching ice skating hoping a fight breaks out. I prefer boxing and MMA, that way I have a better chance of actually seeing a fight.

I grew up in North Dakota about 45 minutes from the Canuckian border. I might as well be Canadian, I already have the accent. :)

10 years ago we were up in Mayville competing in a Super Regional...I can verify that statement completely. The fans, even the umpires had the accent.:)

For me it's rallying, and I don't mean unit rallying. WRC is the only sport that can get me sit down and watch, other than that I don't like watching sport, for me it's like porn movies - looks cool (mostly), but what's the joy if you can't participate in it.

Yes, I'm European. No, I didn't mention anything about soccer. Yes, I really am European.

I love baseball but all we have up here are the Mariners, who I can't stand so I don't get to see too much. Hockey is exciting and fast paced and I enjoy that if it's on. I used to like NASCAR but have lost interest in it over the last 10 to 15 years. Give me a good sprint car race and that's where I'll be. In my opinion, nothing beats the excitement of sprint cars on a dirt track.

Rugby (union, not league), cricket and hockey. Been to see all 3 sports in NZ now, even though they're not on TV - got to work for your sport here :)

And for my sins I'm a Newcastle United supporter, I don't think you can grow up in the NE of England without being one (unless you're a mackem)
