Your favorite sport and why?

I just want to know what people's favorite sports are.

Mine is boxing. There is no better athletic test of a man's toughness. There is nobody to rely on in the ring and it's literally fight or get hurt. Being a boxer myself, I know first hand the kind of mental toughness and grit it takes. And how can you not appreciate a sport with a singular goal: Hit the opponent and don't get hit by him until he is physically unable to continue. When two boxers match fists, and more importantly, their minds, it's sport at the purest level.

So, what's yours?

football....the hits and just all around makes me jump out my seat and its the only sport i made alot of money on.

Basketball. I dont know really. Just used to watch MJ and the Bulls growing up and never paid much attention to other spots. I stopped watching for awhile and then got back into a few years ago.

Hockey, because i'm Canadian. Also lots of fast paced action, few stoppages, physical play, fighting and lots more!

Tie between football and basketball cuztheyre intense. Go Celtics, Jags, Bucs, Gators, and Hurricanes!

To watch? Baseball. I just love following the sport and rooting for my Marlins.

To play? Volleyball. Game is so much fun. I just love everything about it.

Football. I grew up watching it more than any other sport. I also enjoy playing it with my friends.

IMO Hockey is the true team sport, everyone on the bench plays, in football the team with the good QB is going far you already know that. You can ride the pine to a SB ring.X360PS3AMD05

lol You got it ALL WRONG, you're blowing my mind. In hockey, a goalie can take over a game(like a pitcher in baseball) and win a game on his own. While for football, so many people has to get the job done at the same time on a play to succeed, let alone winning. For example, on a passing play, you need each of your O-lineman to pick up their rusher, then you need the WR to beat some possible bump coverage, to get open, run his route properly, to have the QB to read the coverage and then make a good throw.

While for hockey, like in basketball to a certain degree, 1 guy can take the puck and score a goal on his own.

And yes, football is my favorite sport, it combines a lot brutality, a lot strategy and a lot of teamwork.

Football (soccer). It's just perfect in every way.

basketball is the only sport i can watch other teams play, so i guess that would be my favorite

but when it comes to the playoffs theres nothing like baseball

Well Ovechkin is supposed to be the greatest ever and he doesn't have a cup, where as in football the Vikes were a mediocre team then Brett Favre shows up and just like i suspected they should have made it to the SB, just with a QB switch. Either way i see hockey and baseball as much more team sports than football and basketball. X360PS3AMD05

This post makes my head hurt.

Where were the Capitals before they had Ovechkin? They were bad. With Ovechkin, they're a Stanley Cup contender (granted...he wasn't their only addition, but he is a huge part of the reason the Capitals are good).

Then you said the Vikings were mediocre without Brett Favre. In 2008, without Favre, they were 10-6 and made the playoffs. With Brett Favre, they were 12-4. It's not like they were 3-13, Favre shows up, and then they were 13-3. And if Brett Favre could single-handedly take a team to the playoffs, then why is it that a year earlier the Favre-led Jets didn't make it to the playoffs?

Baseball

• No clock, which makes it the only major U.S. sport where no lead is insurmountable.
• The perception of "I can do that". It's hard to get into a sport like basketball or football, where size can be just as important as skill. In baseball, little guys like Ichiro, Pedroia, and Lincecum can win MVPs and Cy Youngs.
• History and consistency. While other sports make rule changes that completely alter the way the game is played, baseball today is virtually identical to baseball 50 years ago.
• Baseball is the easiest sport to follow along play-by-play on the radio. Great for driving or playing in the background at work.
• It's played every day; sometimes multiple times in the same day.
