I used to watch baseball, the NBA, and the NHL but have lost interest. I have been enjoying major league fishing lately and might have to start watching soccer.GannonFan wrote:Oh, almost forgot the Masters this weekend, so thanks, there's that too!

Truth be told, my sports watching is way down, the kids are just loaded with stuff that I need to drive them to and watch them that I rarely get to watch other sports these days.

I agree, July is worse, but this is where the void in the calendar year starts for me.GannonFan wrote:Huh?

Baseball usually doesn't get interesting until you get close to post-season, and when your team sucks it's less interesting.
NBA - Don't really watch until the finals. Just not a good sport with limited parity and flux.
Hockey - don't care.

Golf - don't care.

NFL draft - You're right, the NFL draft it pretty good but it's not much

Re: March Madness 2017
Yeah, not to pile on, but seriously? I get a lot of folks live and die with football (NFL and NCAAF) and college basketball, but we're in the middle of the greatest stretch of sports all year. July and August are the doldrums of sports and it's not even close. Baseball is the only sport going and it's far from Sept/Oct ball that is exciting.GannonFan wrote:Huh?

This air ball was ruled a deflected shot out of bounds to the Zags.

Re: March Madness 2017
No one is saying that Carolina wasn't the recipient of some bad calls (although that video you show is from early in the second half - missing a call there is vitally different than a missed call in the last minute like the miss out of bounds call that went Carolina's way). But Gonzaga's key players were disproportionally impacted by the fouls compared to Carolina's key players. And the game lost the flow that it had in the first period with all the stoppages and whistles.ASUG8 wrote:

Re: March Madness 2017
Until Carson Wentz last year, I had not watched the NFL draft since it left the weekend format. I'll take the other 3 and the NBA draft over the NFL draft.

If the Zags had managed to put that game into overtime they'd have been playing the waterboy within the first three minutes
