That is what I like about it too. I also like watching underdogs advance well into the NCAA tournament. I get tired of the two-on-two, dump it down to the big man or kick it out for the three while the other six players stand around on the other side of the floor. The thing I like best about the NBA is that when both teams get hot it can be more fun to see the talent do what it does best - score from all over the court.

NFL and college football are a draw for me and MLB over college baseball by a lot.

That was hilarious, I love that interview.

College for sure.

Professionals seem as if they care more for the money. Sure they are the highest level, but to some extent they get away with so much more.

College athletes are playing for the pride of their school and the atmosphere of the arena or field while they are playing is so much more intense. I also admire them for attending college to earn a degree while putting in many hours for practice and games.

I think the professional's greed is affecting the collegiate level. Basketball keeps luring away kids after one or two years of college and very few underclassmen pan out in the pros. Then again there are very few seniors that enter into the pros any more.

Football is tainted at both levels and is an overall problem, even though I love to watch it regardless. MLB is a mess despite there are some young promising players that make it exciting to watch again. I hate the big business side of sports.

Basketball - College >>>>>>> Pro
Baseball - College > Pro
Football - Pro > College (just because of the ****ing BCS)
Hockey - Lol what? Pro >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>> College

And since I really don't give a **** about any other professional sports (save soccer), I can't really comment on them.

If we just talk about amateur to pro...I'd say that certain tournaments, Junior Hockey is as if not more exciting than the NHL playoffs. The World Junior Hockey Championships are amazing to watch. Also doesn't hurt to see my boys lay the beats on every country.

The BCS rules, it means every game in the regular season is of the utmost importance.

Oh, absolutely. There's ten times more fights in juniors. It's so much more intense because unlike the NHL, players are still trying to get somewhere better and they try so much harder and fights are so much bloodier.

To this day, my only regret is that I never played ice hockey. I played deck hockey and I was damn good, but my family could never afford to let me play ice hockey.

It also means 10-20 fucks control the welfare of an entire league. The bowl system doesn't work, the BCS is corrupt, and they put whatever teams in them that they feel will make for a good show. If every game mattered, then how the fuck did Kansas (11-1) finish eighth, and how did LSU (10-2) finish second? No, it's fucking stupid.

I agree to that, I never had much of an interest in hockey when I was around the age when kids started playing..just been in the last few years that its become a love. I always just played Baseball and Basketball. Basketball has lasted until now, I stopped playing baseball competitively when I was like 14.
