One down, NBA to go

The NFL is back. And I really am excited about it. But I’d be more excited if we were going to have an NBA season too. It got me thinking about where sports rank for me.

The NBA is at the top of my list as far as sports go. (Go Jazz).

Then I’d put college football.

Then the NFL.

Then college basketball.

The Washington Nationals have recently helped me rekindle my love of baseball, but it is still a bit down the list.

Then all the rest, like Hockey, UFC, and Nascar tie for an abysmal last place. We could get rid of these sports all together and I wouldn’t be too upset.

When it comes to sports seasons, I’d rank them as follows:

1. Fall – Baseball playoffs, NFL/College Football Season, NBA begins, plus the weather is wonderful.

2. Spring – Basketball season finale/playoffs, March Madness, Baseball spring training/season.

3. Winter – Skiing, NBA action, NFL playoffs/Super Bowl, Bowl Games.

4. Summer – This can vary, if it’s at all like this summer, a definite last place. But last summer was the world cup, next summer is the 2012 Olympics, which can increase the value. Other than that, Mid-season baseball and the WNBA just make me a little upset.

My favorite sports months follow suit with the seasons:

1. October

2. March

3. December

So you can imagine how awful it would have been for me to have both the NFL and NBA locked out this year. It would have thrown off my entire ranking system. This summer might have been one of the worst in history as far as watching sportscenter is concerned. The only things that made it worthwhile were Hope Solo and Alex Morgan during the epic Women’s World Cup.

It does feel nice to have NFL highlights again in preparation for the season. But I wish they’d get the NBA going soon.

As long as I’m wishing for things though, I might as well pick and choose the super combination of sports. If it were up to me, I’d always have it be December. Great sports month. Fresh snow on the ground. NFL is wrapping up. Bowl games full swing. My birthday and Christmas fall in that month. The only thing that would make it better would be to somehow move March Madness into December. It need a new name obviously. But that would just be the most glorious month of sports ever. I’d never want it to end.

One more thing—Go Jazz!
