What would you all time favorite sport to watch on TV be? I would have to say for me it is the ice hockey. I don't quite understand what is always going on, but I think it is fun to watch.

Hockey is pretty cool. I love watching monster trucks which is a motorsport.

Gymnastics, but that's only because it's the only sport I've ever participated. (and I'm a girl )

Boxing. Nothing gets me more hyped up then a good fight between two gladiators. Football is my other choice but if boxing were ever to become more mainstream like it was in the 1960s & 1970s a lot more people would tune in like a big time football game which hopefully it will one day. Either way football & boxing are my two favorite sports to watch on television.

Hockey. Any game. Could be pros, could be the pee wee's at the rink that sharpens my skates.

Professional football without question! Even though my Bears have had a tough go the last few years I am still loyal to "da Bears"!

NFL.


EDIT:

I forgot about Lacrosse! How could I do that!

NLL. IMHO, it beats the NHL, but the NHL is a close third.

Football (thats American football, not freaking soccer!) but the Bills make that harder and harder every year...I'll watch the NFL, AFL, CFL, college (any division) and even high school! Hockey is really good too and so is Lacrosse (check it out sometime if you get a chancee).

Football - but only NFL. I can't seem to get into the groove with the "Lesser Leagues"

Boxing. Without a doubt, it's the most physically and mentally demanding sport there is. It also has the advantage of not having timeouts and long pregnant pauses in the action. Bell rings...swinging starts. Three minutes later, bell rings...one minute break.

If you're a subscriber to HBO, Showtime and ESPN2, you get to see boxing at least once every week....more if you're into pay-per-view. Some of the greatest fights of all time have taken place over the last 3 years, IMO.
With boxers like Roy Jones, the Klitchko Brothers, Shane Mosley, Zab Judah (who lost last weekend as did Vladimir Klitchko) and a lot of other talent, boxing has made a resurgence. It just isn't PC enough for ABC to go back to televising.

Hockey, especially playoffs. Nothing like a game 7 overtime.
