NFL, with the NHL and MLB more or less tied for second.  I hate all of the big four's commissioners though.  I think I'd like the NHL more if it were on more often where I live, or if I lived in a town with a team.  Baseball is ruined by the lack of competition and the over stretching of markets.  The NFL I think is destined for some bad things, as they're buying into their own hype waaaaay too much.  The moving of the Pro Bowl, the potential for an uncapped year, the plan to extend the season, the continued douchery over Sunday Ticket, the questionable calls and lack of paying for full time refs, the insane pay rate of first round draft picks compared to veterans, and much more bodes ill for the league.

You know what I hate most about the NFL? The fucking London games.

You know, I wouldn't really mind a team up in Canada. Because it is on the same bloody continent as the rest.

That, and I actually like Canada.

Now I love the NFL, but they should stick to the other side of the border.  Cuz if the NFL ever moved into Canada it would be with one team (Toronto), and it would suck the life out of my beloved CFL.

I don't mind the current deal with Buffalo however since they will only play meaningful games in Canada once the CFL season is over.

The only bad thing about Canadians is how insistent they are that they're different from Americans, really. That and the imperialist Britain fixation.
