NFL is amazing I watch it religiously. I have since buying Sky HD though started setting the Sky+ and fast forwarding all the breaks and adverts, you'd be amazed how much more enjoyable it is without any stoppages.
Plus the game is finished in well over half of the time.

Quote: Bang "Golf. Skiing. F1.

The worst sports ever. Jesus christ they're boring. YankBall isn't too bad, we only really watch one game a year and that's only if were ill and can't sleep and don't have work the next day and there's nothing else on.'"


I watched F1 in the days of Mansell, Senna, Prost, Alesi etc but there aren't any of those personalities now.

I don't know how people can go on about gridiron being boring when there's baseball and basketball.

Quote: Billy Banter "Basketball. Pah!

The only semblance of excitement comes not when someone scores (because it's so frequent), but when someone misses the basket. The 'action' is literally end to end, ad nauseum.

Plus you have to be a physical freak to play the game properly.

Yawn.'"

As per page 1, when this thread was just a nipper.

Quote: LFCRhino "baseball '"


I never rated baseball at all until I learned the rules. It's actually quite a tactical sport and can get quite exciting.

Quote: Phil-P "I never rated baseball at all until I learned the rules. '"


I think that's key with most sports.

Until you understand the rules and the strategy in baseball, you don't really get it. I've taken visitors to see the Jays who have never seen a ball game in their life. I made sure I explained the rules, objectives and strategies to them before hand and they all thoroughly enjoyed watching the game because they could actually follow what was going on.

Quote: RB "Your posts.'"


That was clever. Have a gold star.

I think this thread has proven the answer is pretty much a resounding no, there isn't anything more boring.

The best answer so far has been, "erm, its not that bad if you fast forward, rewind, cut out, blah blah blah."

Maybe in Dalton World this thread has proved a resounding no, but in the real world, this thread has just had 2 pages about baseball, quite a number of people who really like it, a few who don't (basically because they don't understand the rules), a few people who have given alternate options and others who have questioned the point of this thread, me included.

So it's not a resounding "no", far from it. But if that's what you want to believe, then that's up to you.
