Probably a sign of your age

Personally, I watch slightly less football than I used to, but it's college that I watch less of, not NFL. I used to watch so much football, down is the only direction you could go.

I used to watch tons of baseball. Now I don't really watch any MLB until August and only if the Braves are good.

I watch as much NBA as ever. Slightly less college hoops than I used to.

I watch more MMA than ever.

I watch as much college football as I can, don't watch NFL at all

Don't watch NBA at all, watch a good bit of college basbetball

Hate baseball on all levels

Watch a good amount of golf

Sounds about right that you watch the most of a very boring and predictable NBA.

I watch far more college than NFL. Many Sundays I don’t watch at all. I do watch all Saturday.

Just more proof of how screwed up you are.

CFB is pretty predictable too, and the level of play is far worse

You should hear my neighbor's dad. They used to do fantasy fb together. The dad was a submariner in the Nuclear Navy. Hoo boy. He's more adamant about it than me. He quit ff and watching and got really upset his son turned on Redzone one Sunday we were grilling, got up and went home. On his son's birthday.

Sounds like a d*ck thing to do on your son's birthday, but to each his own I guess

Now who can argue with that? I think were all indebt to Orangedogsrule for stating what needed to be said. I am particulary glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age.

Baseball is the only pro sport I still watch regularly, I watch the Vols play when I can even the girls softball.

Golf on TV is good for a nap.

Never understood auto racing (Nascar or otherwise). Why not just watch a goldfish swim around in it's bowl. Same concept.

How about horse racing, or Olympic marathon, high school track, any kind of competitive race, do you get that? Or is it only interesting for you if it's all about racing to pile up points before a buzzer?

Maybe for a few particular players. But someone will at some point have a sit down with Trump.

What's the point? Trump would come out of such a meeting and talk about how great it was and how much the players admire and respect him. He would talk about how he endorses the notion of Criminal Justice Reform and better police practices.

And then within two days his people would be out on Fox and Face the Nation explaining that he didn't really mean it.

I grew up going to the races with my dad, within a couple hours drive we had Bristol, Martinsville, Richmond, N. Wilksboro and Rockingham so we went a bunch. Back then both the cars and the drivers had personalities plus the drivers were accessible. Now the cars, drivers and tracks are pretty much cookie cutter versions of each other nothing but rolling advertisements.

I can see how someone who knows nothing about or cares about cars wouldn't enjoy it.

I went to the first ever race at Rockingham back in 1966 (I think, without looking it up). It had only 9 degrees of banking, and they qualified at less than 120mph. The race was 500 miles, and it took 5 hours, and got pretty boring.

They soon changed the track to have much more banking in the curves. It was pretty much a one groove track before, and hard to pass. I don't know what angle Indy is banked at , but the turns were flat like that when it first opened.

North Wilkesboro was my favorite track, even ahead of Bristol. It seems like the track went slightly uphill on the backstretch or the turns weren't exactly the same or something??

I guess since I started playing golf about 3 years ago its very intriguing for me to watch because all I can think is how in the hell can they always hit it that accurately

Sure.

don't understand and we should seperate the protest from the anthem and flag ceremony are, not laughably, not sadly, but so dead wrong[/b] it's almost unbelievable. Not only No! But Hell no! And damn straight we will never accept some asshat playing a frickin' game telling us we should listen' to, and consider, any damn thing or cause they would want to protest about during a ceremony that is NOT ABOUT THE FLAG AND ANTHEM but is about what those things represent. Especially the men and women fro. every race and all their countries who have died in the cause of freedom. Especially the freedoms we enjoy in the US.

All the knee taker asshats can hop on the horse they rode in on and ride right back out.

These men playing children's games are going to kill their golden goose.

ALL LIVES MATTER

I can do another one if you want.

NW was great but the old Richmond track was my favorite back in the day.

My dad used to take my brother and me to see Richard Petty, Freddie Lorenzen, Ned Jarrett, Jr. Johnson, David Pearson, Dick Hutcherson, Cale Yarborough, Lee Roy Yarbrough, Wendell Scott, Bobby Johns, Bobby Isaac, Buck and Buddy Baker, the Allisons, etc.

Those guys definitely had personalities, and the cars were definitely real cars with the headlights and side windows out, and the doors welded shut. The drivers weren't pretty boys out there trying to sell a product.

I didn't even indicate how much NBA I actually watch, but typical that you try to turn anything i say into an insult that makes no sense.

Both have regular season upsets that don't really matter, and then one of the powerhouses wins the trophy. The difference is that CFB players struggle with very basic execution

JR Smith didn’t know the score of a Finals game he was actively participating in. Execution failures happen at every level.

Not to anywhere near the same degree. For college players, a 40-yard FG is a 50-50 proposition and a two-minute drill means about 4 plays.
