Thank you. I am 85 years old. Spend 85% of my time in bed due to severe back problems. I can't have surgery because I wouldn't survive it. So I enjoy sports on TV, most everything but baseball. Thank you everyone for your interest in me. Have a nice day. Happy Fathers day to those of you that are fathers. To those that are not, get a pet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one, it isn't that I don't like it that much, I watch the playoffs. For me, there is too little action. I like golf, tennis, my favorite Football, second favorite Hockey, basketball and soccer.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Devils hockey numero uno Patriots football and Mets baseball second, but finding MLB in general more difficult to watch…way too many strikeouts now, lack of fundamentals, etc. Hoops never did much for me…but when the Nets used to play their home games at Rutgers (prior to BBA being completed), my dad used to take me and my bro to a fair amount of their games. They were pretty bad then…think maybe they won once or twice out of all of the games we went to. We also went to a lot of NY Cosmos games in the late 70s - early 80s. It was a lot of fun back then, but I find soccer to be a flawed game…way too many games end 1-0…not nearly enough legit scoring chances, players always acting like they’ve been shot whenever someone collides with them, a running clock with time added on at the end…then the game just sorta ends.

Then hockey... next tier, football. Nothing else, except maybe NCAA Wrestling - but only because I wrestled in college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill skiing was a sport I participated in quite a bit but racing wasn't my thing. I started skiing at 55 and skied 23 years straight, 100 day minimum per year. Just for the enjoyment.

SterioDesign Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I only watch and follow hockey. I like playing most sports but i wouldnt watch anymore. I may watch something else if i'm somewhere with the boys and MMA or wtv is on tv but thats it. I did play a lot of soccer and it was a big part of my life but i can't stand watching it anymore with all the diving. I much prefer dig and watch movies or tv series that ive never seen than watching other sports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer dig and watch movies or tv series that I've never seen than watching other sports I understand your point about watching, say, soccer and the changes in the game that are spoiling the sport as a viewer. I feel that way about most sports, but I still watch. The biggest change for me is mostly the NBA. In my days in Boston, I was a Celtics fan big time from 1957 to 1967, then I left Boston because of the job, but that sport has changed, IMO, so much for the worse. Because of my medical situation and the invention of the DVR, I am entirely into TV series and movies. The TV consumes 10 hours of my day at least, everyday.

Wow, a Patriots football fan. I was one of the original season ticket holder for the Boston Patriots. Football is my favorite sport and the NE Patriots are my favorite football team. I watch most football games, regardless of the teams playing, I can't say the same of other team sports. After the Patriots, my teams are the Boston Bruins, NJ Devils, Boston Celtics, and the Red Sox. I also took my son to the Cosmos games when Pele played for them. They were enjoyable games to be at and follow. I know you are a fisherman when I was in Maine skiing, I took two years off from golf and fished with a guy who fished 24/7. We were in rivers at dawn, to ponds and lakes and streams at the end of the day. I was never good at fly fishing, I could do it but not well, but he was an artist with that homemade fly. I stopped because I couldn't keep up with him, age was a factor, and I wanted to get back to golf every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s awesome. Been playing golf since I was 12, so 30 years. I still suck though. I shoot in the mid to high 90’s on a very, very good day lol. I don’t practice enough and I could probably use another lesson or two. Edited June 21, 2021 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
