Sorry Billy Bob!

Someone's got anger issues ITT...


Anyway, I would suggest the Euro tournament but if you were the type that enjoys watching soccer you'd already be watching it.

I am ok with boxing - Nascar is boring on TV - tell me something - anything exciting about watching cars go around a track 200 or more times

Ha. I enjoy baseball, I just don't watch much the first couple months of the season, as long as it is. The season is hitting full stride now though.

For me, baseball, euro tournament, Olympics, formula one and mls are more than enough.

Olympic summers tend to be far more bearable. Baseball just has too many games. I can't make myself care about game 79 of an 162 game season. I do enjoy soccer. The last World Cup made for a good summer. Trying to keep up with the Euros and the WNBA just to keep the edge off. Can't wait for football

Did you seriously talk about how monotonous the baseball season was and then talk about following the WNBA in the same post??

Hey don't knock the WNBA its pretty good basketball. Just watch the games if there happens to be one on. Plus I like to see how LVs are doing.

CFL kicks off this Friday, and if you have ESPN3.com you can watch every game.

I've always thought it was a pretty cool twist on football. A bigger field, only 3 downs, an extra player, a man in motion toward the LOS, monstrous endzones, punters able to score points . . . It's like something developed by a 12 year old, but entertaining.

Always seemed like decent off season entertainment

I miss the early days of ESPN when there was no NFL, MLB or NBA . . . but you could get all the CFL and Austalian Rules Football you could stand.

Gerald Riggs Jr. made the Toronto Agriculturals roster so watch out for him!

Also, extremely large pictures should result in a ban.

ESPN3 started carrying them about 3-4 years ago. I just happen to catch one on a lazy Friday night when nothing was going on. I loaded up ESPN3 just to see if anything worth anything was on and saw Toronto vs. Hamilton.

Now it's basically a yearly tradition for me. I actually get a bit excited, even though I don't root for one particular team. Partially because I know American football starts 2 months after it starts but it's actually entertaining.

Oh man this brings back memories. Heck I wish they would start ESPN Obscure or something to be like it used to be. Sure they still have the occasional World's Strongest Man contests and Wood Cutting but I too remember when the only main sports they had were college football and college basketball. If those 2 weren't on, there'd be no telling what you'd see. CFL, Arena Football, Aussie Rules Football, surfing, pro lacrosse, CBA basketball...if you loved obscure sports and sports leagues, it was great.
