I prefer NFL playoffs (rugby players dont hit hard and are small in stature)

no other sport besides Fotbal (Soccer, for the twits out there)

can even compare to Hockey.

Basketball is for puss. draw the foul? wtf? how about drew blood? = 4min double minor. the guy with the ball gets away with murder in that sport nowadays. can't play defense because you cant touch the guy = puss.
American Football: take off their helmets that they so often use as weapons to crack spines, and then we'll see how hard those "though guys" hit eachother. + it's been done: its called Rugby


For one, your logic is completely and utterly irrational. Your points are false as well.

Baseball is not a sport? So that's why Baseball is in the Olympics and Rugby/Cricket were taken out decades ago.

Basketball isn't a sport about physic or strength. It's all finesse, athletism, skill and talent. That's what athletic sports are really about, right?

The football season gets real interesting in the NFL Playoffs because the boys are playing for keeps!

playoffs - Hockey most definitely
then maybe baseball

regular season - football
but I don't really see much of a difference between a playoff game and a regular season game in NFL

basketball can be pretty decent, when they're scoring more than 60points:rolleyes:

NHL has the most exciting playoffs for sure.

MLB would be awesome again, but they need to get the steroid use under control, put a salary cap in place, and get a new commissioner.

Also, they need to adopt a new playoff format. Too few teams get into the playoffs, and a lot of people lose interest when the season is over. Probably a 4-round system, with the first two rounds being a best-of-5.

The first round of the NBA Playoffs was horrible IMO,there were big layoffs in between games,the heat hornets series took 17 days to finish.Took way too long.But Go Heat.

NASCAR, the whole season is the playoff, no designated time. People make their own destiny with athat sport. cant just get in by fluke, you gotta work HARD the whole season.

The one and only Basketball! :) In my opinion NBA PLayoffs are great to watch, but NHL is also quite good, but on the 2nd place for me...;)

Real foot ball doesn't start until the playoffs!!!

NFL = Great playoffs, as said before "one and done." Also, they take a fairly large pool into the playoffs so you have someone to root for.

Baseball = Probably the best in my opinion. A seven game series (or five) takes place in a matter of days, not weeks, as in the NBA. So you have the drama of a series, but it's not so drawn out that you lose interest.

NHL = Too long. Too many teams, too many series. Besides the fact that hockey sucks on TV, you have to sit through too many games. If the playoffs went to shorter series it would help dramatically.

NBA = Worst. Long, drawn out series where you lose interest because the drama is gone by the time you get to the next game. Way to many teams, taking way to long to get to the finals. Playoffs shouldn't be nearly as long as the regular season.

If we're speaking on ANY sport in North America..i'd go with the Mens College Basketball "Big Dance". Lots of action, plenty of buzzer beaters, PLUS the underdogs always sneak deep into the tourney and thats just fun to see! UAB vs Kentucky anyone?

If we're on about just pro playoffs, then I'd go with the middle rounds of the Western Conference of the NBA or the NHL playoffs. This year being very exciting to watch; Montrel's comeback against Boston, The Flames in general..
