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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
