Just thinking about if there is another time of the year that is so bad for sports lovers ... Part of it for me has to do with not being a big basketball fan until March Madness starts. I watch the Hornets and follow it but I very rarely watch the sport when it does not involve home teams.

During football season I watch every game possible and during baseball season the rivalry games pique my interest (Yanks/Sox, Giants/Dodgers, Cards/Cubs).

I know there is some low points during the summer but with football training camps along with baseball it has to be better than right now.

Anyone else feel that way?


ETA: A lot of my disdain of Basketball comes from the lack of Parity and the fact that great players team up together. Ever since Shaq joined the Lakers with Kobe it has never been the same for me and it is only getting worse in my opinion.

There's not a bad time of the year for me. There's always a sport season that I enjoy going on. College football: late Aug-Jan. College basketball:Nov-April. NHL: Sept-May. MLS: Mar-Winter. EPL: Aug-May.

Post NSD/Super Bowl and pre 1st spring training game is also the hardest for me. Don't care about basketball or hockey outside of March Madness and the wait for the first spring game seems to take forever. Once Spring Training gets here, March Madness, opening day , spring games, and The Masters are right around the corner.

Before I started following European soccer it was the worst sports time of the year as the NBA and NHL regular season sucks (too many teams making the playoffs dilute the product). Now, it's the June-July in odd numbered years (after Champions League, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals on years without a major international soccer tournament)

The entire MLB season up until the start of the NFL. Absolutely miserable.

Great players team up together? How is that any different than in the past?

And the NBA is awesome right now. So many good young players.

worst time of year for me this year is after the NCG for college football, when the Saints have no Super Bowl Shot


the LSU basketball team has no NCAA tourney shot

Hornets have no post season shot

and LSU baseball hadn't started yet

so pretty much from the time LSU basketball started SEC play until about last weekend was the worst time of year for me

Next worst time will be when the CWS is over
