i just came to the realization that there isn't a god damn thing worth watching for at least another month in regards to sports. this is the worst time of year. no basketball, meaningless baseball, no college football and no training camp/pre-season football YET.


i think the nba should start later and end later. they could start in december and end at the end of july. that would be perfect. as it is now, the most exciting thing going down in sports is retarded speculation on who will finish where in the nfl this year (i say retarded because it's impossible to tell at this point).


for gods sake even our fantasy football leagues don't draft until august! i guess the one bright spot is ncaa 2006 is coming out in a couple weeks. but even that's just a videogame... i wish the nfl was around more often :(
 
All I hope for this time of year is replays of college football games on FSN Atlantic. Those, and a few games I have recorded get me by...the newest version of NCAA is by far the best remedy.

Tennis and golf.

If you get really desperate you can always turn to women's golf, Nascar, baseball, or extreme ping pong on ESPN2.
 
it's not that i hate baseball, but because i don't have a team which i follow rabidly, the effects of a 162 game season diminish my watching ability. it's not unlike february and march for me either, because i can't really get into basketball when it doesn't mean much. i like baseball and basketball come the end of the seasons and playoffs, but other than that...

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I love this time of year. I really don't like basketball. More baseball coverage/highlights for me = good.

Didn't the CFL just start? I find the CFL to be more like College Football (which I prefer) than the NFL. And it sets itself apart from College Football by being a bit more faster paced.

NBA needs to go back to the 5 game 1st round, holy crap the NBA playoffs lasted over 2 months! That's not a playoff, thats a whole damn other season!

Besides, 5 game first rounds are exciting just because theres a CHANCE an underdog can move to the 2nd round.

I only watch NFL, some college football, and NHL. So it's been that time of year for a looooooooooong time now. Plus I can't watch that pre-season crap beyond the 1st quater.

When the playoffs are too long and it's too easy to make them...it ruins the regular season.

GO BOMBERS GO! :(

My team sucks complete and utter ass this year.
Yes they do. :(

And I think the thread title should read "... for NFL fans!", because this sports fan has stuff on TV to watch almost every day.
 
NFL/College offseason is fucking torture. Golf is more exciting than baseball, and I'm not watching any boring ass golf. Basketball is okay. I watch Jazz games consistently enough, but I can't just be happy watching any team play like I can with football. What does that tell me? Everything besides the NFL really fucking sucks. You heard it here first.

Chiefs are winning the SuperBowl this season. You didn't get the memo?

Or maybe T-Mac should learn to win the 4th game!

You've got to be kidding.

This is the absolute best time of the year if you're a tennis fan. The French Open a couple of weeks ago, Wimbledon right now. And after Wimbledon, alot of hard court tourneys leading up to the U.S.Open.

Btw, this isn't even close to the most horrible time of the year.

The most horrible time of the year comes every January after Tom Brady uses his terrorist Al-Queda connections to forcibly rape the Steelers in the AFC Championship.

When Ben Roethlisberger delivers the NFL from the Patriot's villainry next year in the playoffs and the game ends with Belichick crying and Tom Brady being led away in handcuffs to Guantanamo, that will be the most wonderful time of the year.

P.S. Lakers have a secret!

We know
 
The only thing on right now that i can bear with is Wimbledon and WSOP in July. Summer always sucks for sports. I'm always interested in baseball but it's too boring to actually watchuntil the playoffs.
 
My baseball obsession is full speed right now, so I've got no problems.

...of course the Yankees are horribly inconsistent and Fifty is taking potshots at me every post now, but still. :lol

This guy is the only one who knows what he's talking about in this thread. Add in US Open last week and British Open next month, and everything is golden.

Shit, I love this time of year. The only sports on television during summer are crap, which means spending more time outside.

Yeah I was thinking of this yesterday... I'd like the NBA to start later and the NFL to run a little longer.... Hell even NFL Europe is done....

It's only now the best time of the year for sports. The Red Sox are on top of the AL East, the Yankees are losing, and man, it's a nice day outside. Good times.

Yeah, baseball is just a dud now. It's fallen below soccer for me, I'm rather watch a footie game on some foriegn channel than the average baseball game.

Have you seen many CFL games before FFT? I'm just wondering. I'm just wondering if there is a football lull in the US...maybe it makes sense to show some games over in the US on American television? Obviously something like ESPN 2 or something.
