    NFL
    Easily NFL

    I like the NFL because its one and done. If you have a bad game then you lose and have to make it up next year. No ifs, ands or buts.


    NBA is WOAT because the 1st round is 7 games. Who wants to watch a 7 game series between the #1 team and the #8 team? Even the #4 vs #5 team is boring. I know the NBA makes a lot of money in the playoffs by extending the playoffs, but it would be better if they did it like this;

    1st round - 1 game
    2nd round - 3 games
    3rd round - 5 games
    Finals - 7 games

    Granted, they wouldn't make as much money, but it would be more exciting. A team could upset the #1 team in the 1st round and that would change everything.

    The problem with the NBA, MLB and NHL is its a best of 7 series so unless it's a game 7 it's not a winner take all like the NFL. There's so many iconic plays in NFL playoff history cause there's so many ways to win/lose a football game.


    There's only so many ways you can put a ball in a basket or a goal in a net.


    Hail Mary
    The Catch
    The Catch II
    The Fumble
    The Drive
    The Immaculate Reception
    Manning to Tyree
    Russel Wilson's pick


    And so on...

    You can't compare the World Cup to the games being played in the states. The World Cup is global. Aside from baseball and basketball nobody outside the states gives a ? about the other sports mentioned.

    With the ncaa tournament and nfl playoffs you could have drama but the best teams still usually win.

    Baseball and hockey are the two most unpredictable playoffs. Anything can happen in those to sports.

    You might get more compelling games in the nfl and NCAA.

    But for sheer unpredictably I'll go with the Mlb and hockey.

    I'm going with the NFL. I get World Cup too though...it's once every 4 years. I've heard NHL is intense, and they have legit parity from what I understand, even with their series (instead of single elimination) format...much respect for that.

    NBA and March Madness are terrible though IMO. Right now people are watchin the EC games for a month and a half to see Cavs finally get to the finals, and watching the same non-competitive series (in some cases) go on for over a week. ? all that.

    And March Madness SUCKS. Even upsets are bad because they just lead to a boring ass game in the next round. Mid Tenn pulled a first round upset then scored 50 and lost by 25 next round...boring. And most importantly the tournament is too big with too many ? players and teams. Buncha sorry ass performances.


    WTF is this?

    Now i have my bias with the NHL playoffs being a huge hockey fan but i get if ? watch the NBA or NFL a little more. But is ? serious with the MLB playoffs. Them ? suck mostly because of a few things:

    1. Too late: Up here in the northeast it is cold as ? and we already been through 162 games. Who the ? want's to go to a baseball game up north in 32 degree weather?

    2. There is no appeal when your team gets out: If the Yankees are eliminated for me or I can't root against the Red Sox there is no point in watching them boring ass games. When my team gets cut in the NFL or NHL and even NBA i still keep watching and find appeal in watching.

    3. The Playoffs are right in the middle of football season: Again if my team is eliminated i would rather be watching football and most of the nation agrees with me now in 2016. MLB playoffs ratings been dipping for the last 5 years plus because ? would rather watch football.

    Baseball playoffs would mean more if they cut the season down to 82 games and had the playoffs in August when it's just NFL trainning camp. They will never do that due to money. But the season even as a big fan is too damn long and by the time the playoffs come I am in football mode if my team is cut.
