Default NHL Season finally starting!
T-minus 18 hours woohoo! Too bad I don't have OLN in Norman. Although, I am going to the Stars home opener because it's the same day as OU/Texas

You're confusing the NHL with the NBA.

NHL isnt that bad, I like the new rules they put into place last season to make it more interesting but it will never be that big of a sport in the USA.

MLB > NFL > MLS > NHL > NBA is how it goes IMO.

ANd i know they arent striking anymore, i wondered why they did, and what happened to fix it.

Wow! Just when I thought you couldn't possibly prove your complete lack of rational thought anymore, you go and put MLS and NHL in front of the NBA???

The NBA is more popular here in the states, and worldwide, than the both of them combined. It's 2nd only to the NFL, cause every retard and they're cousin watches football.

WTF? MLS???????

MLS is garbage...

I prefer college basketball to MLB myself but I prefer MLB more compared to the NBA. The pro basketball game just doesnt do anything for me.

I prefer college to NBA. The playoffs are good and the season is a lot more fun if you have a fantasy team.

NFL > College Football > College Basketball > MLB > NBA > NHL

(I refuse to put MLS in this catagory)

Including that then it'd be

NFL > College Football > Boxing > MMA > College Basketball > MLB > NBA > NHL

No kidding, how can a guy from the UK endorse minor-league soccer. I mean, if you want to watch good soccer in the US, turn on Univision and watch the Mexican League and turn the TV down and put on music if you don't understand Spanish.

As for the NBA, I like B-Ball, but the NBA has become boring over the past decade. Too much clear-out and isolate. I find it boring and would rather watch college hoops. IMO, the 3 point shot changed the game for the worse.

FYI - I also prefer college hockey to the NHL.

I don't see what's funny about it. I also would put boxing right up there with MLB & NFL as my favorite sports.

boxing is a good sport.

and i added MLS due to the fact that NBA bores the crap out me me, and my list looked short. And im british so any "FOOTBALL" deserves a place.
