OT: What are your 3 favorite sports to watch on TV?

[PoppyHart]

If we get enough answers (and people don't abuse the rules), I'll compile the results after ever 75 replies or so.

Rules:
1. 3 favorite sports to watch on TV. Only 3.
2. Must list in order. No ties. I will count the first one listed as the 1st place vote if you can't make up your mind.
3. College sports are different than pro. So, e.g., college basketball and pro basketball can both be listed.
4. Women's sports differ from mens' sports, so feel free to list WNBA and NBA
5. For soccer, your professional choices are National Team or Club Soccer (not Serie A, Bundesliga, etc...)
6. Auto racing must be narrowed down (i.e. Nascar, Indy, Formula 1,etc...)
7. Olympic Basketball, Olympic Hockey, etc... don't count

I will use a 5-3-2 scoring system

I'll get it rolling with

1. College BB (men)
2. NFL
3. Golf

true - i guess maybe just try it out here and then extend it for anyone who hasn't posted there. Its a really good idea just thinking of how to get the football only folks etc to chime in.

 

[SUfanNC]

College bball
NFL
National men's soccer

 

[Tank19]

1) College Football
2) College Basketball (mens)

I will say NHL, National Team Soccer and Tennis were very close to making the cut and are in my next tier

MLB

[Zelda Zonk]

1. Syracuse Basketball.
2. Formula 1: Mercedes / McLaren teams.
3. RedSox baseball.

F1 only supercedes the Sox because there are only 22-ish races per year, versus 162+ opportunies to see the Sox play.

If it's not SU or the RedSox playing, the order is very different:
1. Formula 1.
2. NFL.
3. NBA.

 

[mountaincuse]

This is a tough one to pick, but:

1. College Football - prefer to be in person for the Orange, but will watch pretty much any game on Saturdays.

2. NFL

3. MCBB - but beyond the Orange I'm not as easy persuaded to stay on the channel like Marsh can with the SWAC.

I picked the above three because I can watch games if Cuse is on or not, most other sports I enjoy watching my team but have a hard time staying involved if it does not involve them and it's not the playoffs.

I would rather sit I'm the garage with a beer and listen to a MLB game on the radio than watch on TV, but I love the yanks.

Becoming a big fan of soccer and always watch Orange lax when it's on.

I enjoy NHL games especially the playoffs, but am hit or miss with the NBA.

After 36 votes (a couple jokers in there) including the FB board:

MCBB - 96 (13)
CFB - 67 (8)
NFL - 61 (3)
NBA - 23 (3)
National Soccer - 7
Golf - 7
MLB - 6
Lacrosse - 6
Club Soccer - 5
Formula 1 - 5 (1)
Tennis - 2
Rugby Union - 2
NHL - 2

Surprised there's no NASCAR diehards out there.
