Do you watch sports?

I am looking forward to the start of the NFL and NCAA football. Go Cardinals ! I don't have much hope for Arizona State this season
 
NFL games. I'm on and off about pro football; currently on after a ten yr hiatus. I grew up watching George Halas' Bears and Vince Lombardi's Packers; then meandered around watching various teams, enjoyed John Madden's Raiders, and then fell in love with Bill Walsh's Niners. When Mooch (Steve Mariucci) got fired by the brain-dense Yorks I migrated back to the Raiders but little was happening there also.

A friend dragged me back into football with the 2013 Super Bowl XLVII, Niners vs Ravens (2012 season). She loved Harbaugh and Kaepernick, but I saw little to admire and a whole lot I didn't. I checked out the Raiders again and thought Derek Carr showed a lot of promise. In subsequent years the Niners slid downhill and the Raiders rose. Raiders are still not a great team, but a lot of fun to watch. Niners are in Year 1 rebuild and Shanahan's system is going to take a lot of time to work. He's good, but he's no Bill Walsh - let alone a comparison with Bill Belichick, whom I consider the true heir of Bill Walsh's genius, not only in offensive strategy but player evaluation skill.

Very occasionally I will watch Golden State Warriors, except that I can't stand Draymond Green.

Used to watch pro baseball, but no longer. Players can't bunt, can't catch, can barely throw from the outfield to the shortstop accurately, and wouldn't know how to steal a base if the pitcher fell down and broke a leg. Bleh.

I'm a fan of the NFL, and so glad the season is gearing up finally. Also follow a couple college teams... Ohio State and LSU.

Ditto, with the exception of our Carolina Panthers and only in the playoffs, which isn't often.
 
I watch NFL REDZONE, no commercials....all the touchdowns from every game....and whenever a flag is thrown, they change to a different game. Best way to watch football. When a one hour game takes three hours, that means there's two hours of commercials. Pfft!
 
Not for quite a while.

Is Otto Graham still quarter backing for the Browns?

How about Gil Hodges? Is he still at first base for the Dodgers?
 
I watch college football/basketball,don't watch the pros,its boring My favorite college basketball team for yrs has been North Carolina.Years ago,I was 'channel surfing' stopped on ESPN watched this amazing young,freshman player,it was Michael Jordan.I've stayed with UNC thru good&bad years. They had such a masterful coach with late Dean Smith,Roy Williams is a very good coach.
I played tennis,mostly singles from the late 70's-early 90's.My favorite players back then were Ivan Lendl,Stefan Edberg,Chris Evert. I never like John McEnroe as a player,but he's a terrific commentator. I continue to watch tennis especially for the Grand Slam Tournaments. My favorite men's player is Roger Federer,Nadal is close 2nd. Sue

Is that because of all the domestic violence, or players disrespecting the National Anthem, or both?

I've never understood one iota of football, so I never watch it, but those topics do irritate me.

I've never understood one iota of football, so I never watch it, but those topics do irritate me- especially because they're setting lousy examples for their young fans.
 
I watch cricket and rugby 'live' having supported my teams for nearly fifty years.
I like a wide variety of snow and ice sports and like the NFL and MLB.The NHL will shortly be making a comeback on free tV here in the UK.Looking forward.
I have the NFL app so I can watch all the Packers games.
 
Right now the world junior baseball championships are being played here. Watching a game live without commercials is a real treat. The Americans are the top team. Boy do they hype it up. It's fun being at the park in the sunshine.
 
Yes, I watch baseball, basketball, ice skating, Olympics. I don't understand football so I don't watch it yet. I have to find someone to explain it to me..lol :)

Oooh, let me try- this is my 'expertise' on football:

There are two teams. Both teams want to get the ball over the goal posts. They run up and down the field, and occasionally jump on each other. If someone makes a goal, the people watching the game cheer loudly. After the game they jump around and sometimes pour beer on each other.
:playful:
 
NFL (some teams, not all), PGA (especially if Tiger or Ricky is playing), NASCAR (sometimes, but only record a race and watch later), pro-rodeo (if we can find one on). Wife loves all of it while drinking a nice/cold Bud Light. My kind of lady!!
