re: Rank the 5 Major Team Sports

1. Football - the NFL has really plummeted in my mind in recent years, but this sport will always be my favorite. College has taken a hit over the years with every game being on television, not because it's not great to watch those games at home, but because all of those commercial breaks really slow down the game. Going to games at small colleges and high schools has really made me miss the simpler times before most college games were televised. The game just takes on a special "rhythm" that has been lost.
2. Baseball - I was practically raised in Alex Box Stadium
3. Basketball - The NBA is overexposed and plays too many games, but college is near perfect. I would like to see the collegiate game move to restricting the number of timeouts in the last 2 minutes of the game, however
4. Hockey - I have no team to root for here, but damn if this sport isn't entertaining. I wish the NHL would move to the Olympic model of no commercial breaks. Man, this is one cool sport.
5. Soccer - I love the nationalism aspect of it, the stadiums, and the passion of the fans. However, this sport can be super boring to watch on TV. The only sport that comes close to this level of snooze-fest is major league baseball.
