wow, how bad has the nba dropped off of people's radar? I guess it depends on the area, I've always been a huge knicks fan because I cheered for them as a Ny'er my whole life, i guess if you grow up somewhere not ny,la,chicago you may not be, But to put nascar ahead of it, guess to each's own, I have a tough time ranking them, I like nba nfl college football and college basketball and golf, so it's tough

1)NFL
2) MLB
3)NBA
4)College Hoops/College Football

I think some of you guys are misunderstanding what they were trying to do. They were trying to rank the overall popularity in the US, not what your personal preference is. I can hardly watch NASCAR, but the ratings and attendence figures don't lie. I don't think there can be much question that, overall, NASCAR is more popular than the NBA right now. That's what my list was.

My list for personal preference is:

College Football
NFL
College Basketball
MLB
College Hockey

No misunderstanding bro...Just wanted to list my personal preference anyway...

 

[dawgball]

My #4 in my original list should have been College football, not Hoops. Sorry.

My personal preference (where I figured this thread would end up anyway) is:

1. College football
2. NFL (in recent years has taken over NCAAB)
3. College hoops
4. Golf
5. EPL Soccer

If World Cup was not just every four years and qualified, this would be #1.

#1 College Football (easily #1)

#2 NFL

no misunderstanding here either, brother!!!

 

[kickserv]

my top 5 sports to watch (live)

1) Table Tennis (watch the pros play that live...amazing!!!)

2) Tennis

3) Hockey

4) Badminton (see a pro match live....wow!)

5) Luge ....see that live....guys are nuts

 

[bjfinste]

Hockey, be it college or NHL, would unquestionably be No. 1 on my list of sports to watch live. I personally feel football is 100 times better on TV than in person.

 

[no all]

top 5:

NHL
NFL
MLB
NCAA (football)
NCAA (hoops)

 

[kickserv]

yes........key was watching live.....and trust me...anybody who watches an NHL game live will love it.........amazing to see it live....especially if your on ice level

oh and if you ever get to see bobsled or luge live..wow

 

[NySportsfan]

NHL is good live IF you have good seats, but who the fawk can afford really good seats :shrug: :shrug: Islanders and Rangers run a boatload....Footballs cool in person but WAY too many tv timeouts kill the game, lotta time with hands on your hips, College basketball is very good in person depending on the venue, college sports in general are better in person, assuming it's a cool venue

 

[DR STRANGELOVE]

yes........key was watching live.....and trust me...anybody who watches an NHL game live will love it.........amazing to see it live....especially if your on ice level
