Anyone, besides myself, refusing to watch the roids of October?

Followed the sport closely for years. (For a time, had the highest B.A. in this area also). Now couldn't care a less.

1. Not interested in watching "robots"

2. Who's not and who is (using).

3. *

Same here. I didn't even know the playoffs were starting until I heard it on the news today. I used to be a huge baseball fan.

The roid thing tarnished it a bit for me--big Bosox fan so I gotta watch though. Living in Chicago, I'm not very popular right now.

You're a little late on 'not watching' if you wanted to take a pass on the steroid users.

How about speed? Is it OK if they are popping pills? They been doing that for decades.

Drugs and big business have ruined professional sports by elevating to celebrity status characters of marginal (at best) character. That said, my 8 year old son is HUGE into baseball (a sport I have always hated), and thus when he is not playing or practicing we are indeed watching the Padres. His favorites are of course Trevor Hoffman along with the family favorite Kahlil Green.

I don't bother watching any sports anymore.

The only sport I will stop to watch is F-1 I should say Tivo) and I will surf Speed Channel for other road course racing. I aviod NASCAR, but I will stop to watch an Indy and Cart race, especially ones with left turns.

I'd rather watch some men who pop pills (MLB) than absolute jerks. (NBA). The Artest fight turned me away from folllowing basketball whatsoever.

I like my Sox and Patriots, even though Brady is getting a bit of an ego. So...since the Sox are in it, it should shape up for an exciting postseason. I'll definitely be following it.

I'd rather watch neither, but I don't mind LB James, and NCAA.

Certain sports I'll watch if actually present. As far as televised, hardly ever, can't stand the "announcing" among other things.
