they definately suit you.

Hey, I'm a dork.....I admit it. I've always liked the more offbeat sports (at least by American tastes). You should see how fired up when I actually find speedskating on TV (I was a competitive skater from age 5 to about 14 or so). 😛

 
NCAA tourney - Nothing compares to March Madness
NFL Playoffs/SB
World Cup
Tour de France - Armstrong kicks ass, and he does it on French soil. Can't get much better than that.
NHL Finals
MLB World Series - And that's only when the Yankees are in it
NBA Finals - My Nugs are so far off from going that I give up on the season about 10 games in 🙁

The Super Bowl is the best for a single game, but it's more about the media blitz than the actual game.

And as much as I love baseball, the World Series just ain't what it used to be. 🙁

i agree that the one game thing makes it more exciting....
but the level of athleticism in the NBA is unmatched

Why? Because they can jump high?

cuz they are fast, strong, and can jump high =)

in baseball and football you can be a fata§§ and still be good
soccer players are great athletes too but not as strong
and hockey just sucks...hahahaha

Pro basketball is what sucks. 😛

Hockey players are great athletes.

hockey...pro...college...amature...rec. league...just sucks...what a stupid game...

hockey players would get there asses kicked by basketball players

:Q the things you learn about ATers. :Q
I was actually ranked third or fourth in the state most of the time I was competing. 😀

You can kinda see why I took to cycling later in life.....both sports use the same muscles for the most part.

I really think you need to think about it.

yes hockey players fight in games...big whoop.

basektball players have more strenght and size...
yeah im sure some hockey player would take Shaq...yeah...good one.
i'd like to see some hockey bitch fight Ron Artest or Rasheed Wallace.
not only are they shorter, but bball players have 50-100lbs on them...

nice one Einstein i think NASA needs your genius now
 
Oddly enough, I find golf the most enjoyable to watch. Mainly because I suck at golf and am constantly amazed at the shots they can stick.
 
Fighting isn't all about size numbnuts.

Thank you for drawing me into the DUMBEST argument i have ever been involved in on ATOT.

You obviously have never been in a fight. Just becuase you are bigger than someone, that doesn't mean you can fight.

Dude, you are a complete idiot. I had a bad feeling about this when it started.

What do you know about hockey (besides "IT SUCKS!").

I'm done with him.
 
Have you seen Shaq swing a punch??
Why is this about fighting now all of a sudden? Isn't this about what sporting even is the best??

Here's my opinon for the top 4 "major" sports..
NHL
NBA
NFL
MLB

I like basketball.. no problem with it really. It's boring as hell in the last few minutes though..
As for football, I just can't sit and watch a sport that stops every 2-3 seconds..
Baseball.. I don't think I even have to explain that one..

The one thing I love about hockey is that is not a turn based sport.. like basketball, football, or baseball where you take turns trying to score points.. sure turnovers can happen but I don't think they happen enough to be exciting

but it's all subjective.. you like it or you don't.. just because it's more "popular" doesn't make it better than the other sports... for example... soccer?

i didnt say just size idiot...

no no no...THANK you for perpetuating the dumbest argument ever...
 
OMG - have you ever SEEN a fight at a basketball game? They make Paula Jones v. Tonia Harding look like Ali and Frazier. They are huge pansies that punch like girls (ok, girls who can't punch - no offense ladies).

That column was a bunch of crap anyway. It was like "Hmm, I love baseball, so I'll write a column where I make it seem like baseball is the best postseason." Baseball's postseason is long and boring. You can lose 2 or even 3 games and still be in it. NFL and NCAA - you lose and it's all over 'cept the crying. Football games are just about as long as baseball games, but you never hear people complain about them being too long the way you do with baseball, because baseball is numb-your-a$$ boring. end rant.
