Soccer is just a little too slow for my liking. Although I've watched a couple of big games.
I used to be that way until our kids got involved with soccer and now that I understand the game and its tactics it's not nearly as slow as it seems.
I love hockey, but it's hard to watch on tv. I do watch the Pens when I have time. But I prefer watching from the nosebleeds in the corner of the goal section.
Hockey is the best spectator sport as far as I'm concerned live or on TV.
Baseball almost kills me unless there's great pitching - ie. a game where the pitcher is perfect in placement, pitch selection, change of speeds, etc. A perfectly pitched game may be the best treat in all of sports. But then again, I wanna see that game from directly behind the catcher in the 1st row.
Baseball reminds me of the flies at a picnic, you know they're there, but you wish they would go away.
