The Official Philadelphia Flyers Thread

Baseball - when the game is important - is the single best sporting event of the major 4. Football's better on TV. Hockey is the best sport in HD. So it shall be read, so it shall be done, I have spoken.

all sports are better live....

playoff hockey has to be at the top of the list for playoffs tho. constant action, unlike the others where there is always a lull in the action

that doesn't really apply. i'm just not a big fan of the sport in general. and when i say i hop on board during the playoffs, i'm not out buying flyers hats or shirts like i'm a die hard or something--thats fraudulent. i'm just watching on tv or in a bar with friends who know where i stand on the sport. i'm a 4 for 4 guy who supports all the local squads. but i make no bones about my love for the 3 other sports and my kinda-like of hockey.


8. No hopping on and off the bandwagon during the season with the flip-flop, "I knew we were going to self-destruct! ... All right, we won six straight! ... I knew we wouldn't keep playing this well. ... I knew we would bounce back!" routine as the season drags along. Just for the record, this is probably my biggest fault as a sports fan -- I overreact to everything. I've already written off the Celtics three different times this season, and I've given up on Antoine Walker roughly 435 times over the past six years. Can I get some medication for this?

the "lull" in a clinching baseball playoff game is all intensity dude. that's part of what makes it so great.

i get it. i enjoy it. but the last 5 minutes of a game 7 hockey game with a 1 goal difference is off the charts

Hockey is without a doubt the best sport to watch live.

why can't briere play like that all the time? he was more aggressive with the puck than I've ever seen him.

Woah...baseball and Football are better LIVE then hockey ?

absolutely. nothing is better than being at a baseball game on a nice day or night. the aesthetics cannot be matched by other sports. and baseball playoffs are unmatched...every pitch is a cliffhanger.

I could see an argument that hockey is better than football. I think football wins because it's outside. I also think the 2 minutes leading up to an NFL kickoff is like a shot of adrenaline that can't be matched in sports (the rest of the game can get boring, especially with the 10 million commercial breaks during an NFL game). I think it's more fun to watch multiple NFL games from my couch (or my buddy's incredible basement) than be there and only see one game (and mostly, the players just standing around)

Hockey is good live, but I think the sport has changed too much over the last few years. They are taking the physical aspects of play away (especially fighting). that was the best part of the sport. There are also too many lulls during hockey games...it's rare you see end to end action throughout a game. Hockey was so much better 10 years ago

just my opinion...I like all 4 major sports (with the NBA being a distant 4th)
