This may seem like a weak answer, but if you know me, it is pretty accurate.

1) Football

1) Basketball

1) Track

4) Baseball

I enjoy all levels of football and basketball, high school-college-pro. High school track is my favorite form of that sport (other than the Olympics). For baseball, I pretty much only follow MLB, but if NT had a team I would probably be really into the college version as well.

College Football - It doesn't get any better

Baseball - Rangers and Red Sox

College Basketball Playoffs - I love watching the Mean Green thoughout the season...but come time for the tourney and I'm glued to the tube.

Rugby - I watch it on TV like it's going outta style.

Soccer - Mainly the England Premiership League...God Bless Fox Sports World.

High School Football - It's fun to watch the insanity of so many people worked up by a bunch of kids.

I think hockey's lost me for a while...I was just starting to get into it...and college & minor league teams aren't really televised often.

1. Football

2. Basketball

3. Baseball (all of top 3 are very high on my list)

Hockey is very very far down the list, so is soccer. I just have can't get into either of those. From the lack of a true professional league in soccer, and the present lack of one in hockey, I think I am not the only one that feels that way.

Football is out front by a mile!

NASCAR is firmly in 2nd. Go Jeff Gordon #24

Hockey is great on TV and live.

Baseball is O.K. if your there, but bores me to tears on TV.

Basketball is a whipping. Why watch the whole game when it all boils down to the last 2 minutes? I rather watch the world Kayaking Championships.

For the same reason that some people (myself included) can't stomach football but in minor doses. Different tastes for different people.

I am the same way. I was getting up early for the World Cup soccer games last time, when it is Team USA, I am into it. The MLS doesn't intrigue me, but when I was a kid I used to watch Tatu and the Sidekicks (when they wore green) play on HSE. That should take some of you back. smile.gif

I pay attention to hockey only because I am a fantasy addict and play fantasy hockey every year. I also keep up with the Stars, but will usually only sit down and watch the whole game when it's the playoffs. The lockout means nothing to me.

Why watch the whole game when it all boils down to the last 2 minutes?

That's what my wife says too, even though she likes going to NT games. I noticed that you love NASCAR but don't like basketball for this reason. I think NASCAR is more like that than hoops (usually comes right down to the very end) and I don't see why someone would watch 450 miles when it comes down to the last 50. Yeah there are races that are decided before then, but not as often as the same happens in basketball. Just some observations, everyone has their own thing and that's cool.

You could say the same thing about a close football or hockey game.

1. Hockey - this lockout is killing me

2. College Football

3. HS Football

4. Pro Football

5. Baseball (Rangers, or if its a team I can root for)

I used to love watching the old Sidekicks with Tatu, Gordon Jago, and those green uni's back in the day of the old CISL, HSE (miss them), and Norm doing the broadcast.

Whenever the Olympics are on, it is an automatic stopdown for me. 2 months ago, I was taping every night while I was at work. Wathced the tape till 1, then watched late night. Got up and watched more till I went to work. I think I still have Carly's gold medal performance biggrin.gif

and i narrow-mindedly disregard every other sport as dumb, sorry to everyone else, just dont respect the other sports.

Yeah, I'd call that pretty narrow-minded. (insert something here that would have turned this thread into a political flame war...)

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
