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 feeel the same way about basketball.

Well, the pitcher takes a long time to pitch and the batter calls time out and there is sometmes a lot of pitches to one batter. It can be exciting and I LOVE it, but it can be boring at times.

Basketball is the most boring for me. I think it's become less a game of skill and more a game of slam dunks. Every game seems the same to me.

But I love football and baseball. Football is actually better on tv because you can see what's going on in the play, while baseball is definitely better live because of the atmosphere.

Hockey is amazing.
Wimbledon is pretty cool, too.

My least favorite of those three is baseball. And that's only because there isn't constant motion like there has to be in football and basketball. It just seems like baseball players have so much down time. One person at a time on offense...9 players on defense and not more than 3 of them will be active on any particular play...off the top of my head. [Maybe a pickle...]
I love football the most out of the three. Football takes a HUGE amount of physical strength. Fast running, more moves than a bowl full of jello, a powerful arm, rather complex plays, etc...

Basketball is sooooo boring. They just go back and forth and back and forth... Baseball is boring too... Football is the best sport ever invented \:D/ I love football, I love watching football, I love playing football...well, with my little brother, because I can tackle him ;) I really love going to my older brother's high school football games, those are so exciting. so yeah, football is the best :D

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...

Yup, football is the epitome of sport evolution. \:D/ We're actually going to his game today. It's halfway to NY City, so we better leave... Like now, if we want to make it on time.

Ah, that was a good game :D cold, windy, and muddy, but hey, that's football, right?

Anyway, what I like about football (well, one of the things i like about football) is that every player is important at every moment. While in baseball, only two or three on a team at a time are actually doing something. Anyway, football uniforms are way cooler \:D/
