I like watching NFL football. I like to watch figure skating anytime I can too...but it's hard to find much of it on TV anymore....at least the channels I get. Baseball is nice too, but it moves so slow and takes up time I should be doing other things.

Least favorite....soccer with golf a close second.

I can't watch any Sports on TV, these days. Well I can what Women's Beach Volley Ball for a while ;)

I don't know what has changed the most, Sports or what interests me.

The Hunting Shows are extremely painful to watch !

Most interesting:
Last game of the NBA Finals and the Superbowl. I like hockey finals, but husband is not that interested in hockey.
Otherwise, we don't watch sports.

Football - I used to only watch teams in which I had a rooting interest. UT and the Cowboys. Now because I listen to the Ticket all day long I watch more NFL and college games and think of it as homework.

Baseball - No local team when I was a kid. Followed the Yankees and watched whatever game I got with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese. Followed the Rangers some but turned away from baseball after the last big strike. Rangers' world series runs sucked me back in and now I watch almost every game.

Hockey - Watch as many Stars games as I can. Will fight through west coast hockey tonight. High def has made it a little easier to follow. But don't ask me to explain icing.

Basketball - I'm one of those last 5 minute watchers. Everything that comes before bores me to tears. Too much play stoppage.

No soccer, no golf, no bowling, no auto racing.

I don't know why poker is considered a sport, but it doesn't matter. I don't watch it anyway.

Stars Hockey is my favorite. I watch NCAA football and basketball, and some NBA.

And of course, Rangers baseball.

I'll watch anything when it gets to the playoffs, Super Bowl, World Series..whatever.

That's usually when I start paying attention.

Besides that, I do enjoy soccer when I travel..if I'm in Europe, and Spain's playing Germany, or England's playing Brazil, it can be a blast to get in on it.

Favorite: College football

Least: Soccer - How can it be called a sport when it can end in a 0-0 tie? That's just exercise.
Golf & Tennis - Boring!!
NFL - I wish the league would just dry up and blow away. (And take JJ the Hell away from Dallas when it does!)

I watch Rangers baseball some when all that's on TV are boring reruns. I'm a fair weather fan on any sport. If the team I want to win isn't then I'm thru wasting my time on them. Reading a good book is a better use of my time that watching losing sports.

Forgot Nascar. Nothing is more boring than watching cars running around a track. After a few laps you have no idea who is winning unless you look at the scoreboard. Athletes? I don't think so.

I do always enjoy watching the World Cup, especially if Germany (or, of course, the USA) is playing.

My wife and I always love watching the Olympics, too. Winter and summer. I don't enjoy the Communist sports (rhythmic gymnastics, diving, etc...) as much as the pure athletic events (running, jumping, throwing, etc...). I especially enjoy the relays.

The only sport I watched was NASCAR. I loved it. But I've gotten away from it because I really like the Labonte's and that era of drivers. These drivers? Not so much.
