Jim in Anchorage Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Last week was rough. Endless Penn state, NBA lockout. I just want NFL, [heavy on the Bills, but like chat on other teams]. Question I guess is would you realy care [i mean CARE] about sports if not for the NFL and the Bills?
Buffalos#1Fan Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 actually not too much. I was 10x more worried about the nfl lockout than the nba lockout
Geno Smith's Arm Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 No. It's the Bills, and only the Bills. I mean it.
benderbender Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I would like the NBA back to distract me from the losses on Sundays. Honesty though, no one can define for me what is a foul in basketball. It is the most subjective call in all of sports.
reddogblitz Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Baseball - Texas Rangers If the NBA never had another game it wouldn't bother me. I don't do hockey. I don't like college football because there's too many blowouts and no playoffs. Go BILLS !! Edited November 17, 2011 by reddogblitz
jr1 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I only follow the Bills and Mets. I don't watch games with other teams
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Last week was rough. Endless Penn state, NBA lockout. I just want NFL, [heavy on the Bills, but like chat on other teams]. Question I guess is would you realy care [i mean CARE] about sports if not for the NFL and the Bills? Yes an no. I care about MMA, Strength sports, Sabres and college football + wrestling every thing else is whatever. Honestly could care less about the NBA Lockout.

truth on hold Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I like bills and NFL football. I like basketball when Knicks are competitive, which has been rare. I like world series when Yankees are in it. I like golf when tiger woods is competitive (uncommon lately). I like some olympic events, summer and winter. Ilke boxing when theres matchup that interests me, again very rare. That's about it Edited November 17, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Big College basketball and Hockey fan. Will watch baseball but only Cubs and just sort of in background versus glued to set. I always make sure I am home in time for football but sometimes late for hockey games due to work and other evening activities have to sometimes listen on internet radio streams
ThurmasThoman Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 lockout in 1998-1999 ruined basketball forever for me. i went from thinking of those guys (specifically the knicks with starks, ewing and oakley) on the same level as the 90s bills, to not caring at all. this current lockout is completely meaningless to me. it would be more exciting to see them cancel the season and watch the legal proceedings than to watch an nba basketball game. playoff hockey is fun if buffalo is in, but then i start to feel like a bandwagon fan because i don't know any of the players and i only started watching in april. baseball is the most godawful thing on this planet, completely boring and since hitting my 20s i've probably only watched an hour total. golf was incredible when tiger was on top. id always watch a tournament on sunday if he was in contention. meeting my *now* wife and getting married changed my sports viewing habits. i watch every bills game without question, but i don't even care about what happens in the nfc anymore. and i barely watch the playoffs til the conference championship. even then i just have it on in the background. really, i don't even consider watching the bills a sport, it's a lifestyle.
Chandler#81 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Yup! Yankees, SU, NHL, college & pro BBall, open wheel racing. Just about every sport -EXCEPT Soccer. Refuse to waste my eyes on it. Did I mention football and the Bills?
samothyev Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Football(Bills, Giants) Hockey(Sabres, Rangers when they are decent) Stopped watching basketball when Larry Byrd retired and then only the playoffs. Would rather play the game than watch it. I play and watch golf, follow all majors from 1st round to the last. Baseball is another I'd rather play than watch Yank's being my choice...
UConn James Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 If the NBA never had another game it wouldn't bother me. +1. I want the NBA to die quickly so I don't have to see it in passing. It's been so nice so far to not have to watch news replays revolving around this bunch of hoop-grabbing thugs. Basketball changed irrevocably when they refused to raise the rim. Guys don't have to be good shooters now. For MLB (Red Sox) and the NHL (Sabres) I assert the notion that I am a fan of these teams. But w/o cable and enough time in the day, I just rarely get to watch the games. And with one-hundred-sixty-something and 80-something games, respectively, missing each game doesn't mean so much like it is to miss a football game. So, I'm a fan, but I'm a fan by proxy --- browsing the ticker the next morning. I am a fan of the tennis major events, especially as they broadcast Wimbledon and US Open during the week. I hate the rare scoring, the jumble of teams/conferences and the low meaning of league soccer matches. It seems like there's 60 'X Cup' matches a year; it's like every team wins a championship for participation. The $ politics of FIFA and the state of officiating leave me with the impression that it's all fixed. But when World Cup rolls around, I watch the hell out of it. Men's and women's. Internet broadcasting of any/every match on ESPN3.com has really increased my fandom of these two sports --- gone are the days when you only get to watch what's scheduled on the teevee.
CodeMonkey Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I follow international soccer (not the MLS crap) and hockey. As far as tackle football goes it is the Bills and only the Bills. I get bored before the end of the first quarter if it isn't a Bills game.
BUFFALOKIE Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Not really. I'll occasionally watch other sports, but I really don't have a stake in anything but Bills football. I'm a bandwagon OU, OSU, and TU fan in any sport, and I am rooting for OkSt to win their first championship, but I've watched them maybe 30 minutes so far this year.

muffmonster Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Obviously i'm a fan of the Bills and the NFL in general. I went to PSU (not main campus), so I'll watch them play a few games a year. I do watch some of the bowl games as well. I enjoy Sabres hockey, but don't watch any other NHL games if it isn't the Sabres. Other then that maybe winter Olympics Curling. Edited November 17, 2011 by muffmonster
Gordio Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I love sports. I think it is the only thing real on TV nowadays. With that being saidn I could care less about the NBA & really do not get into the Sabres until the playoffs. I love College Football but my favorite sport is College Basketball. I just think it is so interesting & for my money the best sporting event of the year is the NCAA Tournament. I get into baseball but I don't watch a game from start to finish. I like throwing the game on in the background on a nice summer day & sitting by the pool & drinking a few beers. The NFL I lov e but I have started to like college more over the last 3-4 years. I love the Bills but do not take the games as serious anymore. They were so uncompetitive, last weeks loss did not bother me one bit.
