    None and never have. We watch bow hunting shows, my wife loves them, Formula One racing and iron chefs or shows like iron chefs. We also pre record everything so no watching commercials.

    But I get ya. People start talking about the big game last night and I'm trying to just figure out what sport their taking about:). My friend know not to bore me with basket ball and I won't bore the with F1:).

    Back in the heyday when Kilborn, Olberman & Patrick were hosting I watched every morning. Never missed a show. Of course I was like 16.

    These days I'll flip it on maybe once a week or so, if I can't find anything better to watch. Helps keep me up to date on what's going on in the Sports world, even though most of I don't really care about.

    Never watch it and could care less. The only sports I watch are Hockey and a little football. I still don't get the obsession people have with sports and fantasy leagues.

    I am a huge sports fan, but no. I do not watch sports center. Mainly because I couldn't give a rip what is going on in Boston or New York. They have such an east coast slant, it's not even funny. I usually get my sports info from the net.

    I don't either. They are almost as bad as people obsessed with bowhunting. Bunch of weirdos.

    Every morning when I'm eating breakfast. Mostly to watch the scores. I know enough about sports to come up with my own analysis on the games/issues but I enjoy seeing the highlights.

    At least you can actually bow hunt. I dont know many guys playing professional athletics. But, I know several that act like they do, or better yet, think they could have. :lol:

    I'm lucky to watch an hour of TV a week. I just have no interest at all; if I do its definately not sports center.

    I watch it, but it's usually at about 130 in the morning when I'm laying in bed, trying to go to sleep.

    ESPN is a staple in my life.

    ESPN Radio
    Sportscenter
    ESPNNEWS

    It behooves me to know what is going on in the world both inside sports and outside. It is a good conversation starter in business, and it makes people more interesting.

    I like passion. I like when people have passion. The most boring people, to me, are people that have no passion in life. I don't care what your passion is (unless your passion is building and mailing bombs), as long as you are passionate about something. I think nascar is insanely boring, but if someone else loves it, thats cool. Yeah I'm going to mock it/them, but I still have more respect for someone that loves nascar than a person who has no passion for anything.

    I do not watch it on a regular basis anymore. Outside of games, I only watch Around the Horn and PTI on a regular basis.

    I don't even watch any sports, besides going to KSU football games because my dad likes going. My friends make fun of me because I have no idea whats going on in the sports world.

    Or even worse. No hobbies whatsoever. Unless you call watching TV, eating, getting fat, a hobby?

    Agreed. I love passion as well. There is a part of me that loves gun season in Wisconsin almost as much as bow season because of the passion people have around here about it.

    You nailed it with gun season brad. Every year I just cant wait to get up to the cabin for the traditional gun season. I love bowhunting but getting away up there for 9 days doesnt get any better for me.

    Same here. We could care less about any of the games on tv.

    I watch it, but I watch shows like PTI, Around the horn, and First Take more often than SportsCenter. I watch a lot of sports though.
