My Top 5 Sports

What is your favorite sport?  Can you answer that without doubt? Or does it depend?

For me...it really depends. You can break down sports into 3 categories for me.

Favorite Sport to watch on Television.
Favorite Sport to watch live.
Favorite Sport to play.


After having a look at this myself...I was kind of surprised.

Here we go.


Top Five Sports to watch on TV  (for me)

1. NFL Football. The NFL just gets it. They have the best coverage, the best video highlights, the best announcers, the best analysis (sometimes too much) - It is a slick, professional production from start to finish. I guess that is why they have the best ratings....easily.

2. NBA Basketball.   I know the NBA is not on many peoples list as Number 2. But it is on mine. I almost put this as number one. The NBA is a sport I can watch...anytime, any teams. I love the sport. I love the athleticism and the skill displayed by these great athletes.

3.  NHL HOCKEY - For the people from Canada, I am sure this is Number One on a lot of lists. And why not...fast paced, hard hitting, and great television production. Nice way to spend a Saturday night. And the winner? - takes home The Stanley Cup.

4. PGA GOLF - For some Golf is a snooze fest. For me, It is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My Dad watched Golf for years, I never really got it. I do now. It takes me to a different place. Warm weather, green grass, and great golf. I love it. Of course, I do like the Majors the best...especially the Masters.

5. CFL Football - The CFL has been around for a very long time. It always struggles to get viewers...but from a purely "entertaining" product... I am a fan. It is a crazy quirky game, with tons of motion at all times. There are more great finishes in CFL games then you would believe. Try it out sometime.

Top 5 sports to see live


1. - NBA Basketball - love the whole experience - start to finish
2. - NHL Hockey - fast pace....lots going on
3. - NLL Lacrosse - a great "fan experience" - love the game (even without a consistent fast break)

 



 

 

4. - PGA Golf - have you ever seen these guys live....the are really really good.

 

5. - NCAA Football - If you have never done this....DO IT -  An experience you will not soon forget.

 

 

Top five sports that I like to play (includes my childhood)

 

1. - Lacrosse -  Far and away the best sport to play - ever. Box Lacrosse, Field Lacrosse, Pickup lacrosse, whatever....I love this game.

2. - Basketball - A "similar game" to lacrosse. I love this game too....competitive or even shooting hoops in the driveway.

3. - Ball Hockey - better known as road hockey back in the day...I could play this game forever on a crisp fall afternoon

4. - Golf - a Beautiful  4.5 hour walk...good exercise...good for the mind, and every single time it is a challenge, no matter what your skill level.

5. - Touch Football - get off of Facebook...forget about Twitter....get outside with some buddies and play some touch football, a great way to have some fun.

 

 

 

SPECIAL EVENTS

 

Some events I love to watch...I did not list....because they are in a Specialty category.

 

NCAA March Madness (Basketball)

 

Ryder Cup Golf

 

Olympics (Winter or Summer - I am easy)

 

Playoffs (if my team is in the playoffs, in any sport...the interest level picks up big time) - For example, I don't really like watching MLB Baseball...but when the Blue Jays were in it in the early 90's...I was glued to the TV and I hung on every pitch. It was amazing.
