Most boring of the "Big 3" sports to watch?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I don't care for basketball, but baseball is like the dullest thing in the world. :noway:

Football is the next best sport to professional wrestling! \:D/

Baseball and football are very boring to me. Golf is right up there as well.

Yeah, I almost put golf in the poll, too, but I hate it so much I didn't want to give it the attention. ;)

I have a severe dislike for baseball. It seems like it drags on for hours... even longer than football.

Well out of those three, I'd definitely pick baseball because there isn't a lot of action compared to basketball and football which are faster moving. I don't hate baseball, but I can't watch the whole game unless my team is playing and it's a playoff game.

I'd have to say baseball. Never seen a football game, but basketball isn't so bad...especially when it's the Homecoming game \:D/

Um...never been a big basketball fan, it's okay but I won't sit down and watch a game all the way through.

I love watching a good baseball game, mainly high-school and college ball. Not so much pro. My brother plays so it's kinda grown on me, I appreciate it more, I guess. They're always better when you're there.

I like watching football too. I'm not huge into sports but if a games on I'll watch it. I also watch the Super Bowl and not just because of the commercials. \:D/

I hate golf...talk about boring!

I don't really like watching any sports. :anxious:
I don't mind watching basketball, especially when I'm watching my cousins play on their homeschool teams. But my cousins actually don't play anymore.
I've never seen the point of football or baseball, really.
My youth group once went to watch a baseball game, and I got bored after the first few innings. :?

I guess football and baseball have the same point as any other sport. :-k

To play the game and win...

I can't choose :oops:

I adore watching all three and feel no boredom whatsoever. I assume we are taking playoff, high drama games. I would no sooner watch the Royals/Devil Rays game than I would the Raiders/Texans... or the Knicks/Bobcats :roll:
If you were to give me three playoff games in all of those sports, I couldn't choose which one was more "boring."

Now Soccer and Hockey on that list... Hockey, I've heard, is like 1000 times better in person so I'll have to assume that the bordem I experience watching it on television does not carry over. With soccer, while I love to play, it took me all of my strength to sit through an entire World Cup match this year. I would have little hesitation voting for either of these sports.

Basketball is the best sport known to mankind! \:D/
Football is pretty exciting too, now that I understand it. :D
Baseball is so....dull. There's like no action at all. I don't think I've ever voluntarily gone to a baseball game, even at my school, and I've got more school spirit than the average person. ;)

You mean, besides scoring?

Well, it builds character, teamwork, courage, shows you what you're made of, basically.

But there's so much potential injuries involved! It just seems like a dangerous sport to me.
But then, Softball seems to be a dangerous sport too. :?
And that was really off topic.
