Surely at least some Brits in the ranks will agree with me on this, but I nominate darts.

I can't play the game to save my life, but when it's on TV I can't help but get into it.
Can't beat it for true tension.

It's good fun playing down in the pub - but as a spectator sport it is somewhat lacking.

Darts, amazingly I never played darts but my Mum used to belong to a team and watches the world championships. So I was forced to watch it.
Snooker I love watching this but I am really bad because of my poor eyesight. But I'm alright at pool but I cannot stand to watch it. Bowling love playing it worse sport to watch. And curling how can anyone watch or play that?

Golf to me is the most boring sport there is.I couldn't sit through an entire round of golf without falling asleep.Same goes for Nascar unless there's a crash.

Cycling. I watched about every day's live coverage of the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France this year. Sometimes I fell asleep. Usually, nothing happens except at the sprint finishes and a few mountain climbs, but I felt compelled to watch every minute I could.

I don't know about y'all but I think competitive paint drying is about the most boring sport on Earth.

Women's 9-ball on espn2. It used to precede MLS Extratime. Those were good times.

Baseball.

Its so big and everywhere on tv, I've found myself napping, err watching, a couple innings every summer now for a couple years. Trying to build up the tolerance though, maybe even to enjoy it and appreciate it again like back when I was 9 and didnt know soccer existed on tv or anywhere besides recess.

I have no idea why...but I can't seem to get enough America's Cup yacht racing when it is taking place.

BTW...I think the Louis Vitton Cup starts in about a month or so!!!
