NBA or NFL... Which league do you prefer?

man i like football no doubt and i get it.. it is the most popular sport in the states HANDS DOWN...

but i cant be the only one thinking that its getting crazy with the constant coverage. year round. Like big news trade scores no doubt.. but the draft ? .. IDK i think anything, no matter how popular it is, can become boring if its constantly being covered. man i mean hearing all that ? about the draft, prospects.. im telling u i couldnt WAIT until the draft ? was over...

i get it.. its a billion dollar industry.. its popular as ? .. but i think the constant year round coverage can be too much at times

I think the sport itself is better and they have the better athletes. When it comes to the NFL, I enjoy it but it's too many other factors. Like fantasy football, or if my fav team is playing. I can enjoy an NBA game even if it's not my fav team playing because there's good players spread about.

Plus I hate that teams get byes in the post season. You already playing one and done as it is. They need to get rid of that ? .

The bye week is crucial you sound like you never played football, u need a week to recover.from.a good game of football and that can be on a streetball lvl

I get that you need to recover but everybody should have to win the same amount games when the ulitimate prize in on the line. That's ridiculous to me. Two teams in the SB but one had to win an extra game just to get here. ? is corny.

Prolly been addressed but this could be said about the NBA if a team was sweeping everybody and only lost like 3 games the whole playoffs and ends up playing a team that had a game 7 every round that technically ain't fair either

But when it comes down to it they all have to win 4 games.

I can't stand the all year coverage of nfl......its insane and I think their product is starting to water down....


Been a die hard nba fan for life.....I hate to miss playoff games b/c of work.....

To be honest I don't see a lot of year round coverage. You have the coverage during the season. Then a little break, then draft coverage. But after the draft you don't hear a whole lot. I hear some Johnny Football stuff, but that's mostly it right now

Speaking of annoying media coverage. It's annoying how NBA fans/analyst are so hung up on the past. They're talking about who would win between this heat team Vs 93 bulls. That was 20 damn years ago.

I love both sports but I'll take the NFL any day over the NBA. Let's face it, the NBA is broken. Management had done a terrible job assembling teams and it shows.

NBA needs to remove about 10 teams and just have more competition because there is NOT enough talent to have 30 teams.

You have talented players wasting their talent because 9/10 times you need a 3 man front to even be competitive.

You brought up good reasons, but mainly I played basketball and not football and therefore I like basketball and the NBA. I get ? sometimes at all the coverage the NFL gets even during the NBA season. It seems like most ESPN anchors are all football knowledge and nobody really knows depth about the NBA. We all know why. The helmets help the color issue alot in the NFL that the NBA reveals. Thus, the NBA won't get the same coverage. The news even tries to equate hockey (a low viwership tv ratings) with the NBA sometime with the amount of news coverage (news coverage not sports news coverage).

That's true. There do seem to be more ESPN analyst that are football fans instead of NBA fans. I think part of the reason there's more NFL coverage is there's more to talk about. In the NBA if you aren't talking about like 5 teams maybe, people aren't interested. NFL has the NFC East, Steelers, Patriots, Broncos (since Peyton arrivd), 9ers, Seahawks, Packers, Bears. How often do you see fans of the Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Raptors, Bucks, Kings, Suns, Cavs (after Bron left), Hornets, or Pelicans? A big chunk of the league doesn't have a fan base. So topics are limited.

^^check em out. NBA had 8 (over 1/4 of the league) teams below 85% for their home game attendance. NFL only had 2.

ill give you this.. i hate that ? too. honestly because its pointless. They cant play each other, and both teams will say they will win. They do it every time the olympics come around. "can the 2016 team usa beat the original dream team" ? dumb as hell

I'm not sure why the NBA seems to do this so much. People are in love with the past so much, they lie (IMO) and act like experts on people when they aren't.

NBA fans have a hard time saying someone was before their time. I'm 26 and I'd say Jordan was before my time. There's no shame in saying it.

nfl growin on me fast tho! 5yrs ago, I could give a ? bout football other than the bears. im way into now thanx to fantasy

nba need to cut the fat and lose bout 3 or 4 teams. change the playoffs too (best 16) ? been lopsided for too long

Why cut the fat and leave all those playoff teams? Gonna have a 26 team league and a 16 team playoff? Low seeds aren't going to win a championship..

Another non-competitive Finals. It was great watching the Spurs play...they were amazing. But a 4-1 series, and 4 of the games being decided by 15+ points....
