In what way is football more exciting than hockey?

- hockey is faster
- takes far more skill to handle a puck with a stick than to just carry a ball.
- no stoppage of play in hockey everytime someone gets hit
- nothing better than a sweet breakaway goal/nice save
- just as much stategy in hockey
- more player familiarity as there are just 6 on at a time in hockey.
- 82 game schedule is way more rigorous.

Football is more exciting than hockey:
-A guy 6'6" running a 4 second 40 is pretty fast
-one guy has to figure out what 21 other people are going to do and 11 of them are allowed to nearly kill him if they get the chance
-not allow to throw the ball away if the offence isn't working
-40 yard pass over a cornerback into a guys arms that is running full speed
-dump and chase???
-you could put Sid the kid and Peyton Manning in a room of people from northern canada and southern US State (you can pick one) and on average more people will know the football guy....
-I once said that to a football player and you know that he said....You can tell which sports are hardest to play by how many times they play in a season- Baseball 160+, Basketball 90+ (I think), Hockey 82 and football 18. There is a reason, it is physical recovery. Everytime the ball is put in play in football, it is an all out fight for that 16 seconds. Guys can play a shift in hockey for minute and a half.

Football sucks, I consider it the world's most boring spectator sport. Hockey all the way. Though if you really want to know, I like soccer best.

Soccer is third place for me.

The answer to the thread question is: BASEBALL

[Sports_Master2008]

no its hockey

[Lemmy]

football < hockey < baseball

It's a simple mathematical relationship

The question was which was BETTER, not which was more exciting.

[coaster_dot]

for me baseball is almost = to hockey.

Then football is last.

For me its

hockey > baseball > football > basketball

[crystalsm]

I prefer hockey. Junior hockey over the NHL.

crystalsm crystalsm:

Junior hockey over the NHL.

Yes, I agree.

[Strutz]

Hockey

Then almost all other sports second.

[coaster_dot]

I prefer AHL just because the Milwaukee Admirals are Wisconsin only pro hockey team and they kick ass West Division finals start tomorrow against Houston!

I always wondered what would happen if Wisconsin got a NHL team.

Hockey from the 80s and very early 90s.

Hockey, along will all the other sports are incredibly boring now.
