I love all sports, but football is by far my favorite so I choose the NFL. But NCAA football is superior to me for a number of reasons. The collegiate setting, the old traditions, and the idea that you play for a reason other than money. It makes the whole spirit of the game different.

Football is also special because it is rare and fleeting. On a given year, a million American boys will play high school football. Less than 10% of them will play at the college level, and that is ALL levels, not just Division 1. There are roughly 1600 players in the NFL. That means only 1.6% of all American boys who play football will ever play at that elite level. I figure the odds are pretty similar for playing major league baseball or basketball, but there is a difference. Every small town and city in American has recreational sports leagues that allow men to play softball and basketball competitively until they drop dead. Football isn't like that.

And baseball isn't boring! What's wrong with you people?

NBA over NFL for me

Never been a fan of NFL as I grew up with Rugby. Too much stopping in NFL for me......no flow.

NFL over NBA, but NFL isn't my favorite by far, much prefer NCAA basketball, then NCAA football, then NFL.  Through the years I've lost interest in the NFL, if you would have asked me 20 years ago I would have said NFL, hands down was my favorite.  If only I would have had a little insight, but my college buddies and I started a fantasy football league when we were in college in the late 70's, if only I would have known then what I know today!

Between the 2, NFL is preferable, although I'm not a devoted fan and sometimes the excitement level is pretty low. I'll follow my favourite team (Buffalo Bills) and watch if there is an interesting match up between 2 good teams. As for the NBA, it was pretty cool when the Raptors were in the playoffs last year and I did watch a few of their games, but generally I find the NBA a tad on the boring side until they get to the last few minutes of the game.

I like watching football more than basketball. In fact, I don't really start watching any NBA games until the conference championships. The NBA, as far as just sitting down, and watching it on TV, ranks way down the list with soccer, hockey, and golf.

I do like watching Australian Rules Football, and I will watch some of the match ups of MLB.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
