Huge Saints and NFL fan but I am just not excited for the season. Was not a big NBA guy but I find myself looking at Pels talk alot on this board and really looking forward to the season. Its been a great offseason for the NBA and Goodell is making the NFL unwatchable. Saints board here has been sputtering at best and training camp is 2 weeks away. I am even thinking about Pelican season tix.

NBA is great because most players have longer peaks and there aren't nearly as many career ending injuries. NFL has more randomness from play to play which makes it exciting and sort of gives it the can't miss factor. Overall I prefer the NBA because the players are better for longer.

Just wait until football is here. NFL's regular season is 10x better than NBA's

What do we mean by hotter? There will never be a sport product in this country that will surpass the NFL in terms of interest. But the NBA is having the single greatest off season in the modern history of american sport and is infinitely more entertaining right now

Yes.

And I like/watch both leagues and fully admit my bias since only the NBA is in my town.

There’s a huge degree of recency bias at play. This NBA offseason has been amazing, but it also coincides with the absolute dead season of the NFL. In a couple of weeks, after NFL training camp starts, we enter the doldrums of the NBA offseason. NFL news will dominate then, and carry on through the rest of the regular season and postseason. After the NFL ends, the NBA will take center stage again along with college basketball. It’s cyclical.

My last comment was some what in jest, but how can you not get excited about football?

For me it is more about the ensuing fall weather, bourbon, fire pits, and hunting season. Plus, with the schedule now you can watch football 5 days out of the week.

Basketball is only fun in the playoffs and the draft / early stages of free agency.

Me Anichka calls it reality tv for men. The actual regular season sucks balls

The NBA is the more trendy product currently. Middle America still plans their Sunday’s around Church and Football.

Actually the hottest league is the nhl, even though they play on ice.
