NewEra Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 My betting app. Lots of great props! Starting with Tevin Coleman at +6500 to win mvp. I know he probability won’t win but the value is too great to pass up.

TigerJ Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 If I got the NFL Network, I might watch the Senior Bowl. I don't, so I'll work on a book I've started reading.

wvbillsfan Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 College basketball, love it almost as much as the NFL.

I used to be a college basketball fan until I really started watching the NBA. It is like watching the Batavia Muckdogs instead of the Yankees. I mean I get it if you live in Batavia but otherwise I have a hard time wrapping my head around anyone that prefers the Muckdogs. I don’t view college football like that but college basketball is ABSOLUTELY like that. It’s really a bad game at this point. The best players are all 1 and done. In some cases they don’t even go to college for a year; they play internationally. The quality of play is just not any good. The NBA is infinitely more interesting (and it didn’t used to be).

I think it is team driven vs player driven in CBB so if you follow a team you watch and if not, you don’t. With CFB I think people who aren’t fans will watch games that are good matchups or to scout players for the next level even if they aren’t fans of those teams. I don’t think that happens much with CBB except in rare cases like last year with Zion. For many people CBB starts in March. I watch every single Ohio state b-ball game (as tortuous as it is) but rarely watch any other team. With the nba I will watch pretty much any game because it is so player/star driven Edited January 26, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1
BillsPride12 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 I watched the NHL skills competition Friday night and the NHL all star game last night...both were meh. I think the big post football season transition move for me was getting out to the driving range yesterday and working off the rust.
machine gun kelly Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Not trying to be Siskel and Ebert, but my girlfriend loves movies, so we went to that War movie that was a true story. It is heartbreaking, but excellent. Yes, was a little misty a couple of times. This soldier was so brave. Anyway, watch8ng the Prow Bowl is like getting you’re appendix taken out without anesthetic.

Because the NBA is an insufferably boring parade of watching guys sleepwalk through an endless regular season, with most of them standing around for most of the game while the 2 or 3 stars attempt dozens of 3 point shots. The college game is based on ball movement and team defense and has guys who actually care about winning. Personally I never understood the mentality that sports can only be enjoyed if you are watching the most professionally accomplished athletes. I guess high school and almost all college sports are completely lost on you.

In terms of college basketball, I don’t need to see a bunch of guys shooting 25% from 3. No team is very good or interesting. March Madness is fun because of the upsets and gambling but it isn’t a well played game. The beauty of basketball is the elite level of skill and athleticism. That holds true more so than any other sport besides for maybe soccer. Watching the Premier League is way more interesting than MLS.

But......if I apply your basketball logic, 98% of the college football players suck compared to the NFL so why bother? Yes, it's hard to beat the thrill of watching undefended guys essentially having a 3 point shooting contest and watching a handful of super teams pound overmatched opponents by 30 night after night. It's not hard to understand why the NBA now markets itself and its stars as though it was a Lifetime movie. It's more interesting for fans to argue about Durant's latest twitter than to actually discuss the game. Or ask why the stars that you tune in to see are increasingly spending a third of each game on the bench. 1
