Hockey doesn’t have a “regular season”

Nobody's excited about the National

I guess I am a sport card collector/investor when it comes to baseball. Again GOOD LUCK to all the people with teams in the playoffs.

What are your go-to spectator sports???

I watch And listen on the radio. I also order score cards and fill those out when I watch games. I watch and listen to 99% of the tigers games and if they aren't on I will watch who ever is on. To me basketball is boring and doesn't take much science or skill it's just repetitive and the lack of defense. The NFL which I did like to watch has become like the NBA agenda driven and I could care less about a players un educated opinion. And then hockey I only watch the playoffs. I was cricket and ufc as well and those are way more exciting as well . So yeah baseball playoffs are exciting as hell.

You could not pay me to watch a football game.

Drew3000 · 10-07-2021, 08:14 PM

watching any NBA is a mistake. Watching preseason NBA? My god man, why do you hate yourself

Braves have tons of interesting players ... Brewers have some great pitchers but since Yelich sucks now it does leave something to be desired.

I feel dirty writing this. But............... RATIO!!!

pete2345 · 10-07-2021, 08:24 PM

In all fairness this is a card collector forum. Sure most of us are fans of the game. But it's not needed to be a collector/investor.

mfw13 · 10-07-2021, 09:55 PM

I think most people primarily watch the teams/players they root for.

So as a Giants fan, I'll be watching the Giants-Dodgers series and maybe some of the Brewers-Braves games.

But I won't be watching any of the AL series unless the Giants advance to the NLCS....

How can one not be a fan of the game but still collect? What are you collecting?

Zedlaw · 10-07-2021, 10:17 PM

I remember this poster being very excited to tell everyone how little they were watching of the NBA Finals but never missed an opportunity to post on game day. It’s ok to enjoy specific players but don’t hate on the sport when those players don’t make it far in the postseason.

This is also very puzzling to me. Viewing cardboard as no more than a widget is just blah. No room for exclusive-investorbois

ATL is just another good team without Acuna to draw people to watching. LA/Astros? No thanks! I will be focused more on preseason basketball and football. Good luck to the teams that are in the playoffs.

Enjoy preseason basketball lmao

This time of year in order:
Football anything comes first
Baseball playoffs (only time of year I bother watching as it can be boring and 162 games is dumb)
WNBA playoffs (For a good laugh)
Don't care about NBA or Hockey early on due to football

Bronconation24 · 10-07-2021, 10:50 PM

Giants vs dodgers. That’s all I care about this year. 2 best teams by far. Never have they met in the postseason.

Idc what happens after that

Tell me you don't like baseball without telling me you don't like baseball.

There's plenty of room for you in the football and basketball sections.
