These days I only watch football (American rules).

Baseball has gotten boring since they slowed the game down (games nowadays average an hour or more longer than they did back in the '50s).

Hockey has come to resemble a game of shinny since the NHL switched to the Euro-style offense..

I used to be a huge fan of both baseball and football, until labor disputes destroyed baseball and the salary cap destroyed the NFL.

I just got back from playing hockey on inline skates for two hours in 90+ degree heat here. I'll bet you can't find five "die-hard" football fans in the U.S. who would do something like that (including flag football) on a summer afternoon! ;-)
