Pro basketball is just "thug sport", IMO, and the NFL is drifting in that direction. Owners and fans seem ready to put up with any kind of behavior (even murder) so long as a "winner" is put on the field or the court. They're also major catalysts for wagering; I've got a friend who drops a couple of hundred a week during the NFL season. I don't know whether his wife knows or not.

I've grown bored with both leagues, and much prefer the NHL and college football.

Yes, but...albeit a small but....the difference is that the NFL markets "teams" whereas the NBA markets individual players....FWIW, the best sporting experience around, and also the least expensive, is women's college BB...I get to a few UConn games a year...really enjoy them..
