Watching Sports

[9wood]

What are your three favorite sports to watch?

Mine are in the following order

1. Football

2. Men's singles tennis matches

3. Golf

[saevel25]

1. NCAA football
2. PGA Golf
3. Curling  or Men's Singles Tennis. 

[Gunther]

So many variables:  I watch more golf than anything but I'd rather watch a Conor McGregor UFC fight than the Byron Nelson.  Final round of a major?  I'll take golf over UFC.  I have no interest in tennis but I'd pick the Wimbledon finals with Djoko and Fed over 2nd round of the Masters.

So, for me it really depends on the weight of the game and who's playing..

Yup.  And add to that, sometimes it doesn't matter who is playing but what is transpiring.  I got caught up in a men's second round tennis match last night between two guys (whose names I'd have to look up again) because they were battling like crazy.  It was 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 at the time, and ended up in another tiebreak in the 4th set which the losing dude won to send it the distance.

The flip side of that would be the US Open at Pinehurst when Kaymer won by 50 billion shots.  I remember nothing of that tournament because it was boring and I watched very little of it.

I enjoy many sports under the right circumstances, none really moreso than another across the board though.

As everyone's answers have been TV-based, I'm going to make the official declaration that this thread is about watching sports on television. 

[GolfLug]

1. Patriots football.

2. Majors, TPC, Quail Hollow, FedEx Playoff golf. Women's golf if Ko is on.  

3. Winter Olympics (just about anything - even curling), Summer Olympics - 

    100M/200M/400M Sprints, Crossfit finals, American Ninja Warrior (I think qualifies as sport)

Hockey

Football

Well, that changes my answer then.  Golf, football (although I admittedly had some trouble watching for the two weeks after I saw Concussion), and hockey (even though I haven't felt anything for the Coyotes in some time ... any Ducks fans want to talk me into defecting?  I already like one team that plays in that stadium... )

[Natural Patrick]

1- Hockey

2- Golf

3- Bowling

When the winter olympics are on, curling is being watched 

[Rip62]

baseball

football 

golf

[Marty2019]

1) Football

2) Golf

3) Not sure

Of course, it depends on the size of the event.   If the final round of the Masters was going head to head with the Super Bowl, and I didn't have my team in the Super Bowl, I'm not sure which one I would watch. 

[Dave325]

1. Golf

2. NFL Football

3. Cleveland Cavs BBall

4. OSU Football

[dak4n6]

1. Late round tennis major men's single matches

2. Golf

3. Hockey (esp games w/ the original 6)

4. Yankees baseball

I would put football in there, but I'm making a concerted effort to quit that ridiculous sport.
