Hockey is #1, but because of my long personal involvement with it at many levels it is not a fair comparison.Originally posted by BallHawkWhat sports do you prefer to football.Originally posted by PatlerIn all honesty, football is not my favorite sport, but the Packers are my favorite team, if that makes any sense. I enjoy other sports more than football, but I do not follow any team in any sport in the same detail as I follow the Packers. Some of that is because I find the business aspect of the NFL to be completely fascinating.
I prefer continuous action sports, even soccer. The start and stop nature of football, with 10 seconds of activity followed by 40 seconds of inactivity tends to lose my attention, so I do other things while I watch football.
From all this you might think I would enjoy basketball, but I hate the NBA. I enjoy sports where success is harder to come by. How can you get excited when a basket is scored when the teams will collectively score 200 points? Besides, the NBA has lost the team concept. All it is is one on one match-ups. No ball movement like with the great teams in the 1960s and '70s.
As an even further contradiction, I can enjoy baseball, but only with a group of friends as a social outing with the game as the background.

MLB. . . the . . . ' the whatever '
Angels. I love Vladimir Guerrero almost as much as Brett Favre.
NBA. . . the Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns (Steve Nash of course).
NHL. . . the woeful of late Montreal Canadians. The pressure on the teams management and players by the fans and media in Montreal, is as intense as it's reported as being. A real pressure cooker.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

College Hockey is probably the premiere sport to watch. College basketball and football are next. All three trump the NFL, NBA and NHL. My favorite sports teams are the Bucks, the Packers, and the Badgers.

Definitely love March Madness, and the Badgers specifically. Watch as much of the golf majors as I can. Root for the Brewers, Bucks but don't follow those teams extensively.

I try to find ways to keep bread from popping out of the toaster.
Teams I follow in other sports:
NBA - Boston Celtics (finally won a game!)
College basketball - Marquette
Baseball - Baltimore Orioles
Hockey - Montreal Canadiens (when I can actually find one on TV)
I don't follow any of the other teams nearly as close as I follow the Packers other than Marquette, and they're a distant second.
I like to fill my time by driving around and stopping to get gas at every gas station. I usually don't spend more than $5 on gas.
I also like to go to the $1 store and ask, "How much does this cost?" I do that with every item.
I don't watch golf, auto racing, soccer, women's basketball, lacrosse, or poker. I may watch an occasional beach volleyball game, but it's for competitive purposes only. It has nothing to do with if the women are hot.
