Hockey has my respect but I don't follow the sport too closely.  The olympics of last year surely injected some interest into the sport in America.  Definitely a man's game. 

Soccer, not.  It's ok i guess.  It's the most popular sport in the world but only because it only takes 1 ball to play it.  Or, if you can't even afford a ball, there is always a tumbleweed or a severed head (for those less civilized countries).  It takes a ton of athletic ability and that's one thing it has going for it.  However, when most of your players fake injuries constantly it makes the sport look like a sport for bitches.  Bitches who can run around for a long time.  The world cup injected some interest here in America, but only because of some late game heroics by Donovan and some good team chemistry. 

Baseball, I love it.  I played it all the way through to varsity in high school but I came to a realization.  It's a half game, half sport.  It takes a ton of athletic ability but less than your average pure "sport" like basketball or soccer.  It's a half game because strategy, knowledge, and precision can make up for a lack of athletic ability in more ways than other sports.  I love baseball because action can happen at any moment, and you don't know when.  Every single pitch is an opportunity for insanity.  Scoring can happen every single time the bat hits the ball, and sometimes even when it doesn't.  Soccer takes a ton of time to develop any kind of offense, it usually never succeeds, and there is a vast majority of time during a match where it is literally impossible to score.

For clarification, game=a "sport" that you can win if you smoke 2 packs a day.  A sport=tip-top shape needed for competitive success

Basketball, love it.  It's a sport that you just have to feel.  If you don't have a feel for the game, you never will.  Purely instinctual and has perfect flow.

Football (yes, the real American kind) is one of the greatest sports of all time.  When players fake injuries in football they get death threats.  A sport that requires vision, instincts, explosiveness, power, nuts, and hot chicks on the sideline. 

One team's biggest guys against the other team's biggest guys battle it out in the trenches while one team's shifty receivers try to shake the other team's cerebral corners.  Linebackers listen to their instincts to read the QB, who is weighing his many options in the little time he has before he gets crunched.  As the QB throws the ball to the receiver who created the most room between himself and the guy covering him, a 300 lb samoan drills the QB in the back but the ball still gets out of the QB's hands and into the hands of the sneaky wide out.  The safety lays a near-career-ending hit on the receiver and the play is over.  A gain of 4 yards in 5 seconds.
