corncraze Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Too bad there's not an all of the above button haha. I think I follow tennis more than the rest on the list, just because I continually hope our boy Roddick does well but that's it. Meanwhile golf is an old man's "sport" (and I use the term loosely for this) and it's INCREDIBLY BORING! Yuck I HATE golf! Why anyone can sit and watch whispering commentators and preppy high society lodge dwellers hit a ball around for hours I will never understand. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Soccer is like Nickelback. It's horrible, but great to make fun of because so many people inexplicably like it. Also, BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I wouldn't watch any of these three unless there was NOTHING on. But of the three, soccer is probably the most pleasant to watch, simply because there are no commercial timeouts. One of the most annoying things for me is the TD - commercial - kickoff - commercial - three&out/punt - commercial string. Each of those commercial breaks are 90 seconds, minimum, and most times they're two minutes apiece. That'll happen a couple of times a game, easy. It's brutal, especially when they run the same commercials each break. I've golfed, so I have a slight interest in it, but really.... meh. And tennis is a giant yawn. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 For me it's golf. I actually like watching soccer and found last year's world cup enjoyable. Tennis is fairly boring but at least there's some action in it. Golf really doesn't have any action involved in it so I find it hard to watch. Quote Link to comment

Overland Park Husker Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Golf. Won't watch golf or tennis, but I find myself checking more tennis scores. Quote Link to comment
redblooded Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Basketball and Baseball. Couldn't care less about either. Baseball is less exciting then golf on TV. That said: I'll watch the CWS on TV. I'll watch March Madness. I'll probably catch an NBA finals game or two. I'll watch (women's) tennis if one of them is hot, once in awhile I'll check to see if Roddick is doing well (he's not, but he is a husker fan with a gorgeous wife so he's doing something right)... I'll watch golf if its one of the big tournaments or I feel like having a lazy Sunday nap. I'll flip between soccer once in awhile because the announcers crack me up, "name, other name, *extreme excitement* name... *back to monotone as the other side gets the ball* name" and repeat for an hour and a half. The other thing soccer and tennis have going for them is they are on early since its mostly European which beats infomercials and crappy 10-20 year old movies. It was fairly interesting traveling through Europe during the French Open, tons of people crowded around airport bar TVs watching tennis or in local bars watching tennis, just way different. I can't believe someone said hockey, it's right behind football for me if its a good game with a couple star players. It is full of fast paced action with tons of hitting. 1 Quote Link to comment

That is so true! *Que English accent* Donovan, Dempsey, Adu, back to Donovan. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! And as far as hockey goes, I love going to hockey games live! One of my favorite sports to watch live. Its just not the same on tv for some reason. I don't know why. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I only really care about Football and Women's Gymnastics/Volleyball I care about the rest about equally and I really really hate Baseball (Does hate count?) Larry Fitzgerald taking his son to his 1st MLB all star game today. (Even puts HIM to sleep) Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I kind of like all three but I guess I would have to go with golf. Tennis is by far my favorite of the three, awesome to play and I think its fun to watch on tv no matter who is playing. I could watch it on tv all day. Quote Link to comment
