Better on TV:

Golf (no way you can see it all like you pretty much can on TV)
NFL (can't stand the drunken bitching, complaining, stadium seat quarterbacking, would rather be at home with HD and replays as well as the option of switching the channel...)

Better live:

Horseracing
College Hoops
College Football
Hockey
Baseball

Golf- way better on TV, especially in HD

NFL- I must go live, anyone ever been to Lambeau in December? Most other cities probably suck live, but Lambeau field is a must

Hockey is a must live- College Hockey is great also( well at least Badger Hockey)

Nascar- never seen it live, but my guess is the only reason people go there live is to get drunk

Horse Racing- Live!!

Baseball- I can go either way. I love it live, but with HD broadcasts it is great on TV as well

NBA- better off not watching it

NCAA Basketball and Football- better live

Never has boardyland seen such a provocative query.






But radio ga-ga was sloppily omitted.

There is oe sport over all the rest that needs to be seen live over being seen on TV: HOCKEY!

I'm not even that big of a fan of the sport. I'm more of a bball guy in the winter. But the fact remains that the gap in quality between live hockey and tv hockey is huge. Live hockey is a lot of fun to watch, TV hockey is quite a snoozer.

NFL/College football -- I like TV better on a regular basis. For the social aspect, tailgating, etc. -- no question, live! LOL.

NBA -- I give TV the slight edge for me.

NHL -- Live -- period. 'Nuff said.

Horse racing -- Live.

Gold -- TV, although the corporate/luxury suites are very nice, LOL.

Nascar -- TV. Never been live.

What about "professional" wrestling? LOL.

Eric

football is better on tv. all the replays, angles, etc available on the tube are great. i try to go to one college game live a year--the lsu arkansas game. but it's all definitely better on the tube.

live--hockey!! no way you can get the same feel on the t.v. love the sport, and miss seeing it in the arena.

horse racing is better live, as you can't see them up close, or bet, on t.v. (at least, i can't bet on t.v.).

nascar is boring either way these days.....but, watching on t.v. spares you from seeing all the huuuuge women in bathing suit tops, and men with no shirt on (ugh).
