I just can’t get excited for sports anymore

what sporting events do you guys like?

I mean the NFL is kinda cool but other than that what else is worth watching?

the NBA was boring AF yet again, I’m not canadian so I don’t know shit about hockey,
soccer is gay, baseball man I used to love it but with the shift and the opener it kinda blows, college football you know its same damn Bama vs Clemson championship before the season starts... everybody has like 1 maybe 2 hard games on the schedule max

I mean what do you guys watch that puts you on the edge of your seat?

[KVB]

Just remember, no lead is safe in the CFL.

[thechaoz]

It is.

NFL assuming it's a good match (and refs aren't penetrating with it)or playoff hockey.

NBA is trash.

Kickball is trash.

Bases are trash.

[BIGDAY]

MMA.

[Sam Odom]

Never excited about sports either, then god created gambling and suddenly sports had meaning.

The CFL game tonight was interesting. Calgary down by 11 with 2 mins to go in 4th and then lose their starter, so the backup QB comes in and they score a TD, then onside kick and score another and they win by 4.

[clockwise1965]

MMA has a good card on ESPN tonight. Overall it's a boring time of year for sports.

[jjgold]

I watch Les sports and never before
It’s actually a waste of time

Pick yourself up a nice book

Watched it, hit with Maurice Green.

Was tailing BIGDAY.

[packerd_00]

NFL and Motorsports are my main Sports. But I like College Football to.

[JIBBBY]

Never exciting as you get older unless you have money riding on it.. Watching sports is a waste of time if just a fan IMO.. Probably a waste of time even if you have money on it as an adult and gambling..

Nature of the beast... Truth..


Gambling pollutes the true fan feel.. Never gambled maybe you could be excite.. I don't know that though.. Can't speak from experience..

[lonegambler23]

got really bored with it this year but found my passion for tennis again. i seem to always go through a no sports mode for a few months out of the year to recharge

[Cuse0323]

Yeah, gambling isn’t even exciting anymore. I just want to win, and for the game to be over already. Been doing well with baseball, yet I rarely get excited. The walk off winner for Houston tonight got me going for like 5 seconds then back to thinking about the next play.

[5mike5]

NFL and Motorsports are my main Sports. But I like College Football to.

Same here but really only bet on motor sports now. But football and racing the only 2 sports I'll even bother watching now. And good MMA cards too.

[2daBank]

I find playoff hockey and world soccer events to be the only 2 things that really get me on edge of my seat. Crazy cause I’m really not a fan of soccer, lol.

Still enjoy baseball but wouldn’t call it exciting. Actually depressing since cardinals games majority of what I watch, lol.

NFL and nba are both blah, all the stupid rule changes, style of play, and refs dictating outcomes (in nfl especially) makes it tough to be all that interested in. Think I’m really gonna be off watching the nfl when these clowns start challenging pass interference.

[jjgold]

Technology so good no need to watch much sports anymore

Going to get games throwing money away too

[Bluehorseshoe]

Too much scoring in every sport and less strategy. It gets boring after awhile.

great answer!

[sosawestbrook]

hasn't nothing to do with sports & more with your own philosophies papa

if you are seeking excitement in an thing you will never find it long term

Ferraris get boring

A honey bunny from an exotic part of Europe will get boring

Fine wine dinners get boring

welcome to life dude

think about what you are saying

and if you still feel that way then go ride a bike or some. idk. sail across the Pacific. find a passion. dont watch sports then

weird thread here but good luck playboy

I think 2 things are factors:

*As you get older other things become priority.

*And sports betting takes the 'fan' out of most of us, meaning the $ won/lost off of sports becomes more important to us.

Remember when Kurt Warner & the Rams burst on the scene in 2000?

My buddy and I were in Vegas in week 5.

We were watching games at The Excalibur and the Rams had just whipped a team to go 5-0.

The odds there were still something like 40-1 as other books had already dropped them. (This was the year & the team that ruined all astronomical future odds on teams in the future)

My buddy goes and places $100 on them.

I tell him he's crazy that it's the Rams and they will show their true faces soon.

But the longer I sit there and think about it the more I realize if he is right and ends up winning, I'd kick myself for not following.

So I do the same & throw $100 on them.

Fast forward to the NFC Championship game.

Tampa Bay vs those Rams.

I've been a die hard Bucs fan since I was 7yrs old.

So now I'm faced with rooting for my team to win and advance to the Super Bowl, or the Rams and a shot at unexpected $4,000. (Number may not be exact I'll have to look)

At one time it would have been a no-brainer and I'd be rooting for my team to win.

But that was the year I realized & understood how sports betting, over time, can take the 'fan' out of you.

I had a similar experience in Vegas years ago. Was watching 1998 Winter Olympic hockey from Nagano Japan. Canada was heavily favored vs Czech Republic and I was of the opinion that the Czechs could beat my nations team. So I talked my buddy into betting Czech +1.5 +200 and Czech moneyline with me. If Canada wins I'm ok because I hope they do well, if they lose I make money.

So we are sitting in the Caesars sportsbook surrounded by Canadians all cheering for team Canada and when Czech scored first me and my buddy jumped up cheering. We were the only two guys in a sea of Canadian fans cheering against Canada. Fast forward and Canada ties it late and game goes to a shootout so we were guaranteed a win on the +1.5 puckline and had a freeroll on the moneyline. Canada lost and I was pretty happy I won over $5k on the Czechs.

football season still good

winter time college hoops cool

soccer, golf and tennis top sports now for me as far as watching

[thetrinity]

when you have kids, they matter a lot less to you

Yeah most people with kids don't care that much for them.

[clockwise1965]

My children are grown now but when they where in school. I rarely watch or bet on sports.

[spro23]

I only care about winning bets. I can't sit and watch a whole game of anything anymore

too many rule changes in every sport have made them soft. I mean you can't even break u a double play in baseball anymore lol wait till NFL this year when they change games reviewing pass interference calls- what a fuking joke this will be!!! This will be the worst rule change ever, mark my words!!

[Baraldsson]

Yeah, gambling isn’t even exciting anymore. I just want to win, and for the game to be over already.

Exactly this. Even in the really big games I've been looking forward to for weeks, as soon as the team I've got money on goes ahead, I just want the game to end before they've a chance to mess up.

NFL is still fun to watch I agree, still I need to have money on the games to really get into watching.. I'll get bored watching after 5 minutes if I don't...

NFL and MMA are my favorite sports to still watch today.. Can't pay me to watch an entire baseball game these days even though I cap and bet it daily..

[KVB]

I know it's pretty specific, but I agree with Banker about NHL Playoffs.

That event has surpassed all others as far as excitement, until you get to the more rare events, like Usain Bolt or the World Cup.

Betting on that shit makes it even more exciting.

[kingdom]

MMA is great. nfl and college football are great as regular season is relevant. Playoff in sports great at championship levels. World Series not as exciting if you don't care about either team. as a rule don't think its good to bet on your favorite team for or against. the bias works both ways.
