    I know football just started, and thank god baseball is winding down...... But do you realize that the first NBA preseason game is in only 25 days away. The Celtics are playing some Euro team. Damn I love hoops!!!!!

    Love college football, just can't do NFL. Just switched to Directv last month and they gave me the NFL Ticket for free. I can tell you that I won't watch one game. Don't know why, just can't stand pro football.

    25 days?! Wow, didn't realize it was coming up that soon... can't wait!

    We're lucky that we had the Olympics this year. Usually, we have baseball jammed down our throats all summer... the most boring sport out there.

    I was the same way until I found the Saints. I never had a team to really root for in Memphis. The Oilers fucked us over and moved to Nashville, and ever since the area I grew up in was all about college football. I'd imagine it'd be the same in Oregon. For my money, college football is still more exciting though. I've become a die hard Saints fan, but nothing beats NCAA Saturdays.

    The NFL isn't rigged like the NBA, so there's no way the NBA > NFL.

    NBA > NFL for me, obviously.

    I also like Tennis more than football. The NFL is extremely fun though.

    This is in order of most entertaining to least for me.

    You realize that when you're watching an NFL game, you're actually watching 90% commercials occasionally interspersed with football "action", right? MAYBE Football would be more interesting if, like Rugby Union, it was a lot more free-flowing. Or if you only watched the edited highlights. And they had to pass the ball every time.

    Pretty soon now more Americans will care about the English Premier League than the NFL...

    NBA basketball is all but unwatchable, and I only watch Portland's games because of my ultimate fandom to the team.

    NFL > CFB > NHL > CBB > MLB > NBA

    MLB>NBA>can't think of any other sports really worth watching at all, but NFL has less action per minute than golf, bowling, or billiards.

    TV rating say NFL football is far and away the most popular source of sports entertainment on TV.

    Love it! The DVR is amazing compared to Comcast. I can actually record 4X more stuff. My wife can't watch Blazer games, but just laid out better.

    Not surprisingly, NFL football gives fans the most time to eat, drink, and use the toilet between plays. :)
