    I love baseball on TV -- it's better in person, but TV baseball is cool too . . . but it's usually somewhat boring if you're not a big fan of either team.

    As shown on ESPN2:

    Spelling Bee
    Magic: The Gathering Tournament
    Lumberjacking
    Hunting
    Fishing
    Hunting
    Rodeo
    NASCAR
    Hunting
    Bowling
    Paintball (fun in person, but just watch it on TV . . . )
    Tractor Pull
    Hunting

    I had a roommate once who watched Fishing and Hunting ALL THE TIME . . . that was a bad year . . .

    I agree. Remember the Simpsons episode when the townspeople burned down the soccer arena due to sheer boredom and anger? I feel the same way. Soccer is boring. The riots that occur afterwards are more interesting (which reminds me of when I got caught in a soccer riot in Paris 2 years ago)...

    Most of the ones that I can think of are already posted (soccer, fishing/hunting shows, bowling), but I remember once watching part of a darts championship.

    What was I thinking??? I guess the lack of regularly scheduled darts-specials speaks for itself....

    Yes, living in USA, watching the Americans play soccer is absolutley the most pathetic thing to watch. But for ppl who watch EURO soccer, they will tell you its the best.

    Golf is reallly boring, unless Tiger Woods is doing good and then I watch it.

    Baseball actually is boring to watch, I only like watch the Astros.

    I agree soccer is boring unless its World Cup then its pretty good. Country vs. Country. Doesn't get any better. War on the field.

    Golf is the most boring "sport" to watch. How can they show this crap, not only on sports networks, but on broadcast giants like ABC. Uppity rich people hitting a little white ball with sticks with no defense. Any other psuedo-sport like bowling, billiards, ping-pong, etc. NASCAR sucks. GT and Formula 1 racing are better, but I couldn't bring myself to watch 24 hours at Le Mans on Speedvision (like some people I know). Agassi and of course Khournikova were able to hold my interest in tennis for a while, but not anymore. Track and field is unwatchable. Soccer is like really bad tennis players (or my lovelife :(), it just goes back and forth and no one ever scores. Any subjective sport(gymnastics, diving, figure skating) is idiotic. I can watch football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. Oh, and Magic: The Gathering Tournaments rule (j/k).
