Yeah I got that sunshine.
 
It is weird that no combat sports made the list. Aside from NFL, I'm interested in MMA, and loosely, NHL and Boxing.

i.e. I am interested only in sports where heavyweights do regular violence to each other.

I am an absolute fan of Baseball. Not the baseball that is now, but the baseball that was in the past. Bunting, hit and run, all the stuff that made the game fun to watch. I still remember going to the Coliseum in Oakland and buying bleacher seats for 5 bucks and sitting out there with my dad and watching the games. Actually sat out there for a double header once too, remember those? LOL.

Baseball of today is so different. Pitch clock, no throwing over to first more than twice. Pitchers not hitting but yet they can throw at a batter with no repercussions and the league is in love with the Home run. Bring back small ball and what the game used to be.

Give me the old 70's and 80's baseball where it was a game and it was fun to watch.

Try college baseball.
 
No real roads racing?
*edit*
And BSB. I really like BSB.
 
Like the bicycle races, but more for helicopter pics of european countryside.
Don't really fan individual racers or teams.

Tunnel hull boatracing mostly for the big bell ring of 17k rpm

Fighter kites: competition and meditation when not facing off.
It's adrenaline or alpha state depending on venue, and crafting on the cheap.

Traction kites: they *will* move you. Cover your ass.

Covers all that stuff no? I like both as well.

I mentioned being a fan of sports I did as a yute. A bit surprised I left off martial arts considering how much I was into it.

I try to make a fun thread and people are on my ass...! :laughing

I left of surfing too and cricket and... and... there are a lot of sports!
I should have made the last choice every other sport in the world!! :teeth

Putting Golf on the list took a lot of self-discipline BTW.
 
Miss watching Tractor pulls, stadium off road racing, Thursday Night Thunder like short track racing, midget cars, etc. on ESPN.
 
Not long ago I stumbled onto a flat track race in progress on tv and it totally grabbed my interest. I watched until the end and thought I should watch more of this. Three minutes later I had totally forgot about it. :laughing
 
I voted NFL but I just watch listen to the Raiders. Haven't watched or listened to a MLB game in years, used to be a huge A's fan but fuck them and MLB.
 
Don't really watch sports on TV unless I have friends/company over. Prefer to watch live sports which is why I stick with the minor leagues. Pioneer League Baseball (Oakland Ballers/Modesto Roadsters).

Went to the Stockton Thunder (Minor League Hockey) on 10/17 and it was fun.

Plan on checking out the Stockton Kings (G League Basketball) this weekend as it's their home opener.

100% agree with you. But, I will still watch the games as I am a fan of both the Raiders and the A's but both owners have really screwed over the city of Oakland in their own ways. Of course, in the case of the Raiders, Oakland and the Coliseum were more than happy to bend over for Davis. LOL

To be abundantly clear, the City of Oakland screwed the City of Oakland.

Both Teams made offers to the City. The Raiders only had one one request, let me also build a really expensive Apartment building on the Land where I will build the stadium, so I can make enough money from top flight rents to have this deal work for me.

Oakland said FU, make it affordable housing rent restricted or GTFO.

So of course the Raiders GTFO and the Tech bros just came in and bought up all the existing affordable housing stock so no one can afford it in da Town anyway. People usually get exactly the City they elected.

Funny... some sports I do have a hard time watching. Most I can appreciate the athleticism and watch for a bit.

Golf is the one that I can watch for a bit because I continually think what it would be like to rip that course up on a dirt bike :laughing

I have to admit that I did not know that. I was more referring to the "Mount Davis" bleachers that really ruined it for baseball. Those bench bleachers were so nice and cheap to go and sit and watch a game in the sun when it is nice out there.
 
Yeah, the fact that it boiled down to housing was ridiculous.

You know the A's will sell as soon as they land in Vegas.

I'm amazed the raiders haven't already.

I stopped watching MotoGP when 46 retired.

I started watching when 46 was in his second year with Yamaha. This was thanks to someone on BARF posting whole races. I watched them all and immediately became a fan of the sport and Mr. Rossi especially. I loved him battling against MM. But I did not stop watching when 46 retired. I had to find races on teh webs and would wake up in the middle of the night to watch live. Now I hate watch MM (It's just sports, don't think I'm evil!!).

Edit: I wonder if others bailed because Vale retired. The racing is just as good as when 46 was in the game. I am looking forward to less "tech" next year.

The racing IS still great. My biggest gripe these days is they don't show moto2 and moto3. A couple years ago HBO showed every single race and I enjoyed watching the youngsters. How is our American Joe Roberts doing?

As for all of the other sports, I watch a lot of them. I can watch just about any NFL game. I will watch most baseball games, some get boring for me if they are not good teams. Love the NBA, huge Warriors fan (Need to check in on the Dubs thread if it still exists.). UFC is fun to watch. Sports help take my mind off of the daily bad news that keeps coming in constantly. Mrs. Bubba watches too much political TV so I escape from that and watch sports.
 
I have the MotoGP subscription so I get Moto2 and Moto3.
3 is a hoot!!! 2 is OK but with Joe Roberts not doing well it is not entertaining as it once was with the 2 smokes.

Since I watch some Red Bull Rookies Cup following those lads forward makes it interesting as well.

I am a bit surprised at the lack of MX / SX fans.
 
I used to watch the MX stuff whenever I could as a kid. Not sure why but it's not my cup of tea any more. I think I'll give it another chance.

Yeah, the only one i am aware of who didn't really make any effort to stay in Oakland was the Warriors. They just wanted to go back home to SF where there was more money and less Oaklamd.

Being the only Norcal NBA Team made it an easy business decision.

For the two Vegas Teams, competing against the Giants and Niners for a fanbase meant the regional loyalty had more business value and it was worth making a solid effort to stay. It seemed like The Raiders tried hardest, but once da Town screwed them out of any chance of a deal, it sort of paved the way for the A's to make only a legitimate, but more token effort.
