Obviously my post was tongue-in-cheek, but I like where this discussion is going regarding boring sports. I actually find the amount of inbred rednecks who love Nascar to be surprising. I don't know a whole lot about Nascar, but the premise of having these giant 400-lap races where you need to meet a certain lap time EVERY LAP, while conserving fuel, and driving insanely fast, is just crazy to me. Nascar is almost analogous to the precision required by a large Symphony performing a lengthy symphony...or some other precision art. But then I played classical music for many years. Nascar still bores me to tears.

I sort of respect Nascar, but I've also read way too many articles saying that all the restrictions and regulations have neutered the sport. So F1 is where it is at.

I actually have recently got into golf. It's not the most exciting sport to watch, but it's not terrible. I'm hoping to maybe take some driving lessons in the future. I like basketball, but in the past 10 years the NBA has really become an offense-only league. What the hell happened to the defense? I played basketball back in the day so I guess that helps me enjoy watching the game, but it seems like college basketball is where the balance is. Football is my preferred sport.

I can't stand baseball anymore. I think it is really watered down, and it's the same teams in the playoffs every year. I still love going to the ballpark and getting a beer and a hotdog. You cannot top that sport/American experience.

Soccer is okay but the fake injuries and the slow progression makes it boring to watch on TV. Maybe IRL with crazy fans, topless girls in paint, and lots and lots of beer.

I'm going to try to get into hockey. I keep saying I will. For the record, I think hockey is more exciting than soccer. I mean players don't fake injuries...they beat the shit out of each other.

Other sports I don't get: Billards, Bowling, Horse Racing (the Amish Nascar with midgets; how did this become such a high class sport with so much betting?), about 90% of sports at the Olympics.

I think we need to bring back the naked Olympics. Otherwise it's just an annoyance that cuts into my regular TV viewing.
