OT: Which pro playoffs are the best?

[Kolumbo]

Please explain how watching grown men running around for 3 hours chasing a ball, kicking each other and falling down in faked pain, generally not scoring at all, and ending a tied championship game with a kick off rather than sudden death is exciting, and not completely boring.

Because it's only 90 minutes of constant action. I don't care about people who don't like soccer. Not everyone appreciates the skill involved in controlling the ball and the progression, and that's OK.

To be fair, the World Cup is an entirely separate event. Much different than regular playoffs.

MLB playoffs, although I do not like the changes they have made over the past few years.

UEFA Champions League. Again, I do not like the changes and expansion they have done but the product is still very good.

World Cup and Euro Cup are a class of their own. Pretty perfect, but FIFA and UEFA are doing their best to try and ruin a good thing.

I have become a casual fan of the NFL.

I personally love the pitch clock, limits on throwing to first, and pitching change limits though. It’s so much more enjoyable to watch the high intensity situations when the pitchers are actually... pitching. lol. Playoff games were 4+ hours. The Yankees/Red Sox winner take all was 2:30.

The pitch clock and pitchers not being allowed to constantly throw over to first along with batters not being able to constantly step out of the box are great changes. Relievers having to face three batters or completing the half inning is a great change.

The ghost runner is awful and I'm glad that's not a part of the playoffs.

I agree with the changes to pitching. I do not like the ghost runner, home field advantage in wild card round, the shift change, or the expansion.

EPL-- nothing makes a regular season more meaningful than no playoffs

I like the MLB playoffs most, even though I'm a Mets fan.

Like almost everyone else, I find the NBA playoffs far too long and crowded.

NFL playoffs are ok, but I never liked the bye system.

I don't follow hockey or soccer.

MLB. Hockey is close but too many 7 game series and they screwed up the format. NBA way too long. NFL eh…..it’s fine but I can miss games if it’s not the giants and not care.

March Madness is the best by far!

I think I agree with this whole post.

Ones that the team I cheer for wins!

Im a fan of all pro sports. If you dont have a team to root for, NHL playoffs are the best to watch. If you do, then I would say it depends on the team .
