But I much prefer to watch football, basketball, and soccer regardless of the venue (TV or in person).

NHL. But I think I'd really like seeing a boxing match.

US World Cup Qualifying

This. Nothing else comes close to the passion and sense of importance.

Except when neither team scores the whole game and it ends in a tie. Ties suck

Every sport has boring games. I'll take a boring QCQ over any other boring game.

This game was a blast to watch.

I think it would be fun to go watch. Wish they did pk's at the end tho:(

The entire "sport" is designed so that the games will end in a tie...

CoachSpeak

Explain how it is designed to do that please.

vagabonder

4/21/17 9:27am

it's designed to be played in the middle 2/3rds of the field...

CoachSpeak

Aren't most NFL games are played in the middle 2/3 & have an offsides rule?

vagabonder

4/21/17 10:19am

And no teams try to tie a game.

vagabonder

4/21/17 10:23am

No, football is not designed to be played in the middle 2/3rds of the field....

Oh man, this is too funny.

On a dive play, if no one tackles you, you keep running until:

That's a strange addition because it can be trumped so easily. US World Cup game

You'd think so, but I actually prefer qualifying.

I haven't done it, but I would really like to go to a Premier League

I voted NASCAR because I have almost no interest in watching it on TV, but going

It's NFL. People are lying if they say anything different.

Nothing like watching vanilla teams run the same schemes against eachother.

vagabonder

From a soccer fan? Really?

The Dude Abides

4/21/17 8:46am

Yup. Soccer teams run more schemes than 4-3 and 3-4 with an edge-rusher at OLB.

Looks like you copy and pasted this from reddit. You're up in the night, btw.

I don't read anything about football on reddit.

vagabonder

4/21/17 9:22am

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Those riveting 1-0 scores tho

OneUpper

and those 6-3 NFL games... (essentially 1-0.5 right?)

So funny. Nothing in soccer can approach the complexity of football, nor does

OneUpper

4/21/17 9:05am

Football schemes being complex doesn't change the fact that NFL teams use the sa

vagabonder

If schemes are the same why did KVN succeed in New England, but not in Detroit?

OneUpper

4/21/17 9:20am

And since the merger only 18 games have ended with a 6-3 score. How about top

Soccer is the worst sport to watch

There are no true ties in playoffs or knock out stage of the World Cup

Live football games are great, but they are also great on TV.

Skeptical Optimist

Agreed. How does this affect the answer to the question though?

The Dude Abides

I interpreted it as which ones are better in person than on TV, but it doesn't

NHL playoff game - especially if it goes to OT; can't beat it.

Winner! Seriously if you watch a play off hockey game and don't get a rush you
