Best on TV:1. Football<huge gap>2. Basketball3. BaseballBest in person:1. Hockey2. Basketball3. BaseballGolf is terrible in person, IMO. Football is nearly as bad. The game-day experience (read: tailgating) can be awesome, but in terms of actually watching the game, it's not good. It's the perfect made-for-TV sport.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
I find football to be the most unwatchable. Far too much dead time, far too many commercial breaks. I can't fathom how a game that averages under 11 minutes of actual game action in a 3 hour period could be considered watchable. The average NFL game features about 6% of the time spent actually watching live football.
If you aren't watching football with DVR, then you're doing it all wrong.For a game with a noon start, I turn on my TV between 1:45-2:00p. From there, it's two buttons on my remote.... skip forward & skip back. No commercials, no timeouts... hell, as soon as the tackle is made, I skip forward to the teams coming to the LOS for the next down. The only time I slow down and actually watch without skipping is when something's under review or scoring plays. I usually catch up to live after the two minute warning.In other words, I only spend 6% not actually watching live football.
Horse racing better on TV? TVG doesn't even have HD, way better in person.
Meh. I've been to Arlington several times. Its fun....but mostly because you are drinking and gambling, not the actual sport. Its pretty slow, especially with the 30 minute breaks between races. At least on TV you can change the channel.
I guess for the casual spectator.
If you're skipping 90+% of the televised event, that would seem like the definition of unwatchable
