    I've got to say that golf is by far the most boring sport to watch. It's ok to play, but watching on tv is dreadful...

    Most boring sports to watch on TV in order.

    1. WNBA
    2. Summer Olympics (track and field)
    3. Nascar
    4. Golf
    5. Baseball
    NERDS!

    No way, car racing, WAY worse. It truly befuddles me as to how people are interested in this activity. Its cars, and they're going around in a circle. Hundreds of times! It doesn't matter how fast they are going. BORING!

    Conversely, I saw my first live NFL game last year and I can't believe how much better it is on TV than it is live. The crowd was awesome, the game was good (A.P. had 296 yards and there was a missed field goal returned 109 yards for a TD) but the game was the shits to watch from the stands.

    I would go to 1000 MLB games before I go to another NFL game.

    Yeah, NFL games live are a little eh. If I had tickets to the Super Bowl I would sell them even if my team was in it. College football on the other hand is very exciting live. College crowds beat the hell out of NFL crowds.

  • watchin' a no-hitter into the ninth is far from boring. guess some might say that's the epitomy of boring though. (if youre a Red Sox fan :D)

    Playoffs are pretty good

    regular season is boring
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    een watching Yankees and baseball since 1980, ben watching Hockey and the Rangers since I was born. Got into the Giants when the Bears won the Super bowl and the Knicks when Ewing got drafted. Been to the games, watched them on tv and played all 4 sports and it goes like this as far as excitement all around

    Hockey cause its just non stop and if you wanna talk thinking mans game go to a few practices or watch the mental preparation these people have to put in

    Football tied or a close second and only because of the stoppages and no the long ass vid replays. Also its only 16-20 games long depending on if your team makes it all the way. But at the same time a short season like that always leaves me wanting more NFL games


    NBA and thats been tarnished for me simply cause of the thuggery ann the players not giving 100% anymore and its so evident. Theyd rather smoke a blunt, go out to clubs like in miami beach and party all nite and yes I know this cause Shaq, D Wayde and all these guys used to run up in the clubs I worked on the daily and leaving FUCKED up a lot of nites. Oh and spend millions on chains that Slick Rick would prolly hate on



    and lastly MLB cause I mean seriously..160 something games??? How can anyones attention span stay drawn to each and every game??? You just need to stay close and get hot like the Phillies did or the Yanks do every yr. In the pther sports like Hockey every game is important from the get go..dont go in a 10 game losing streak cause youre pretty much done..no playoffs. NFL every game..critical.nba not so much but almost to the extent of NHL


    annnnnnnddddddd heres the pitch


    fouled away


    10 mins later

    annnnndd heres the pitch....

    fouled into the stands and as much as I give palyers credit for battling and hanging in there with the count and the pitcher "thinking what pitch to throw now"..its just fucking boring as hell! Baseball matters in September. Thats it.
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    sooooooooo boring yaaaaaaaaaaawn

    nothing on tv in the summer so we're forced to fall asleep every night trying to watch this nonsense


    All you need is a team to love and it becomes the greatest sport ever invented.... and this is coming from a girl that has never been athletic or grew up liking sports...then again I am single and there are a lot of hot guys to look at so that has another advantage for me....

    I like watching baseball. I haven't watched much the past few years but have recently got back into it.
    I enjoy now learning that there is some real strategy going on and appreciate it more on an intellectual level I suppose.
    And I can't take my eyes off the tv if Andy Pettitte is pitching. :o

    must be Andy's eyes...the glare..I know how yall women are about that intense look! lol

    look I dont wanna completely dog the sport, it def has some fun and memorable moments thruout each yr but in a 162 game season they just seem to be few and far between. Playoffs ususally I get hooked on tho, I aint gonna lie ;)

  • How bout watching the grass grow?

    hoooh.....boy...

    yep
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I think you are right...yes part of it is his eyes.
    And his body. :eek:

    I get what you are saying that it can be pretty slow moving...but sometimes, that is what is called for after a hectic day. Just relaxing with someone and watching a game.

    Baseball in person is great. I dont watch it a whole lot on television unless I am at work but it is still better than 98% of what is on television.

    Absolutely....and the only thing that hinders it on TV are the endless commercials and the bozo (e.g. Tim McCarver) announcers. FOX fucks up everything they do, and baseball is no exception.

    Baseball is the best sport. No endless timeouts like the NBA, no two minute drill like the NFL - it ain't over til the fat lady sings. :p Fewer thugs, too. I've been to a couple of pennant clinching games and they were intense. I LOVE BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    Stickball takes a little more talent.
    You know, seeing as it is a stick and not a bat and all.
