Most exciting sports... heres my list.

First off- Ratings don't matter at all, if 2 billion people watch paint dry wouldit make it exciting??? NO.

Second- Unfortunately, Football was punished because it is the entire sport and not just a specific moment, For example Football is more exciting then baseball BUT not more exciting then the last chance a team has to win a game. I did this because 4 and goal is exciting, but its not noticably more exciting then any other point in a football game.

Third- This is my list, if you dont like it, fuck you.

Finally- Sex wins.


SEX- if you don't think this is first then you are wrong.

HOCKEY- If you don't believe me, watch a breakaway and tell me you aren't on the edge of your seat. I really mean that, I watched the Sabres-Flyers games and even though the Flyers were getting killed, it was intense to watch the back and forth. Or better yet, if you have the chance watch the Ducks-Oilers tonite, it will be awesome. And its even better when both goalies are at the top of their games.

Last Half of a Horse Race- Yes you read that correctly. Gimme the final 1/2 of a horse race and I'm there watching it. Usually it's fun, sometimes though, it turns into a blowout which is neat to watch but I wouldn't want to see it too often. (Comes right under SEX if you have money on the winning horse, just saying. )

Last At-Bat for the losing/tied Baseball team- Whether its the Top of the 9th down by 2 or bottom of the ninth down by 4, you put your rally cap on and start doing the 'Angels in the Outfield' arm flap or whatever, and don't even lie ssigs you've totally done it.

Football- I think this is anticipation and excitement done better then in baseball, in 40 seconds the ball is placed at the line of scrimmage, the play is called, the O and D line up, the QB makes his reads, the man goes in motion, the ball is snapped, the QB fakes the handoff, the SAFETY BIT, the QB airs it out, the WR is right there with a smile on his face, TOUCHDOWN... no matter what point of the game that occurs its fun and exciting to watch.

NASCAR, the final 3 laps, IF its close- I'd still rather see a TD take place but hey, nothin like watchin 2 cars neck and neck for bragging rights.

Basketball, the final 2 minutes- This would be ranked higher since it is the most important time of the game, but it usually has 5 fouls and 4 timeouts within the time period and somehow takes about 15 minutes to finish, so it definitely hurts it a bit but still exciting and fun.

If I have to do just sports then

SEX always first no matter what
Boxing: depending on the fight can rank anywhere from 2nd to last
HOCKEY: nothing beats playoff hockey
FOOTBALL: overall my favorite sport
Horse Racing: if you win your bet its the new 2nd
Badminton: Olympic event, any Asian nation involved makes it amazing, and the added bonus of saying SHUTTLECOCK all the time.
Basketball: who doesnt love an alley oop
Curling: exciting if 1 you are drunk 2 friends are watching it with you and 3 you are having sex... if none are happening, its lower then paint dry...
Baseball: periods of boredom interrupted by spots of greatness
Nascar: I just can't really watch a whole race
