snip* I need some more hockey in my life.

I can't watch hockey... or soccer. For some reason there is just too much back and forth and scores that just don't impress. I've often wondered if either sport would be more popular if a goal was worth 7 pts.

I dunno, I guess I will always be a typical American when it comes to sports, gimme my football and basketball. If I'm drinking, throw on a baseball game.

American Football doesn't get me excited in any way, really. It's too complicated, and the on and off action drives me nuts. With hockey and soccer, the action is almost nonstop as they battle back and forth. That, and hockey fights are awesome.

Basketball is alright, but I never watch it. To me, baseball is fun to watch when I want to relax or fall asleep on my couch.

See... it is the exact opposite for me. American football is complicated because there are TONS of rules to protect players from getting physically beat down or injured and rules that keep the game fair. The action and suspense is non-stop. All the while, they are scoring or trying to keep the other team from scoring by hitting each other as hard as they can.

Hockey and Soccer on the other hand, is a constant... Kick the ball down the field/Slap the puck across the ice, Oh shit, the other team got it, oh there... they got it back, oh shit... someone got it on the other team again, repeat for an hour... is someone going to score?

To each his own, Hockey and Soccer are definitely popular, but American football is, IMO, the most action packed sport out there.
