My cable bill is $53 a month for fairly standard channels ( no HBO, Showtime, etc ). I was thinking about going with rabbitt ears until I realized I needed FSN to watch the Reds
.
+Blackhawks
+ NHL
-Reds
-MLB
Baseball not too long ago was my unquestioned #1 sport, but right now, hockey has my interest most of the time. Just the feleing I get watching the Blackhawks is way ahead of the Reds right now, maybe it's because it's the first team I've really followed that seems to have really figured things out.
=Bengals
=NFL
I was always a fringe football fan in the first place, so I'm surprised that the Bengals haven't losses me yet, but they haven't.
-Reds
+MLB
+PGA
-NFL
Once the Reds went in the tank last spring, I can't remember having less interest in them.
They've finally beat me down. I'd rather watch good baseball, even though I still watch a lot of Reds games.

=Chicago White Sox (always have been a huge fan, and they'll always be my #1!)
=Reds
=MLB (always have loved following baseball)
-NFL. I'm not the biggest fan of the NFL. Give me baseball any day of the week over football.
-College Football
+UC Bearcats (since I go there)

+++++Reds
+++++MLB
I've always been a huge Reds fan but somehow it continues to grow every year. So much in fact, I plan on moving to Cincy in a year or two just so I can get season tickets.
---NFL...I was a NFL fan five years ago but I've lost all interest in the No Fun League these days.
=College football
++MLB (I also follow the Orioles and Angels regularly and enjoy several other teams too. I'll watch just about any game when it's on TV with a few exceptions.)
++Reds (I like the young "Core of Four" as I've been calling them...Volquez, Votto, Ceuto, and Bruce...and I think the team has some good potential if it's used correctly and the right parts are added to it.)
++College Football (I've been watching more and more over the last few years)
++Ohio State Football (Terrelle Pryor is awesome. I was talking to a Michigan student a couple weeks ago and he said it just kills him to see Terrelle playing for the Buckeyes. I kind of felt bad for him because he sounded so pathetic and beaten, which pretty much describes their year so far, LMAO)
=/+ Figure Skating (that's my number one sport and I go through phases of loving it related to how many skaters I like at the time...currently there are a lot that I like so I'm enjoying this new season.)
-NFL (Meh, I like college football better but I do like the Colts)
----Bengals (Do I need to explain this one?
+Gymnastics (The Olympics always brings my fandom up a bit but I watch it on a regular basis and have since I was very young.)
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
-MLB (although to begin with I never watched a ton of anything but the Reds, in fact I would rather spend my time talking about the Reds than watching another team w/ exception to college & little league world series)
+Reds (my interest started to wain after the strike a little until Jr was signed I believe and even then it was mild until Dunn, Kearns and the like)
+NFL (Fantasy football, gave me some interest. But FF is now waining)
+Bengals (Lewis & Palmer got me back but now I am slowly headed down a negative path)
-College Football (only passing interest in other non OSU teams)
+ TOSU (The Cooper era was killing me but Tressel gave me renewed interest)
=College Basketball (Never had much interest)
+ TOSU (a tad more interest since the days of Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd)
-NBA (Less overall interest since MJ and Pippen are gone)
- Chicago Bulls - I still try to keep track of them, but since the great Bulls teams are gone WGN stopped broadcasting lots of games and I'm not paying extra $$$'s to see mediocrity. I'm doing everything I can just to keep from jumping ship and joining the Cavs bandwagon.
++UFC
-Boxing (This sport needs a facelift still)

This is exactly what I felt last season. I love baseball, but I am free falling into apathy with Reds baseball. I am actually a bit nervous to see if I can "turn it on" come spring training next year.

++Reds
=MLB
I follow the Reds more and more every year, but overall baseball is about the same.
=Buccaneers
-NFL
I follow the Bucs just as closely, but my overall interest level for the NFL has gone down.
+++Illinois basketball
+NIU basketball
++College basketball
Over the last few years, I've followed Illinois basketball closer and closer. The more I care, the worse they get.
=college football
+NIU football
=Illinois football
For some reason, I like Illinois basketball better, but NIU football better. Go figure.
=NBA
=Lakers
Love them, always have
= MLB
- Reds (mostly because I'm at school and don't have time to go to 10-20 games a year like I did in high school)
+++ OSU sports (being a student tends to do that)
-NFL (too much HW on Sundays)
-Bengals
++College football
++College basketball
+ Columbus sports (Clippers, Blue Jackets, Crew)
-NBA
-Southwest Ohio College basketball (UD, UC, Wright State, Xavier) (living out of the area does that)
-High school sports
Seems to me like most of my changes have been a shift from high school into college as I've changed my location and time demands quite a bit. I have a feeling my interest in the NFL will increase dramatically next year when I actually have a lot of time on the weekends.
-Reds...maybe the first time since I became a fan in 1975 that I have felt this way, but last year was just totally miserable and had myself at times questioning why I was still a fan of this organization.
+MLB...still a great game to watch and follow.
+College baseball...I think the CWS is very underrated sporting event.
+College basketball...Big Ten Channel makes it cool to follow this sport.
+Indiana basketball...Tom Crean is restoring dignity to this once proud school.
+Butler basketball...If you are a college basketball nut you have to go to Hinkle Fieldhouse. It is a great facility to watch a game at.
-NBA....Just overall not an entertaining game to watch. I miss passing and players who can shoot and oh..........play defense.
+Indiana Pacers....I have already watched more games this year than I watched all of last year. They play hard!!
-NFL....First time in a long time I am in no fantasy stuff, so maybe thats why I am not following it as closely this year.
=Colts....I miss them being one of the elite teams in the NFL but I also realize I have been spoiled, I coulda been a Bengals fan.
"Boys, I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if it's close, you'd better hit it." Cal Hubbard
++Reds- much higher than 5 years ago
+ Texas Rangers
= MLB- Rest of baseball
++ Chicago Bears- been a fan since Super Bowl XX
= NFL- somewhat follow the other NFL teams
+ OSU football- became a fan the last couple of years
---NBA, NHL, college basketball, soccer. Don't care much about them.
Yep. I cried "uncle" this season, too. I'll watch this upcoming season, but it'll most certainly be with a glazed and bleary eye.This is exactly what I felt last season. I love baseball, but I am free falling into apathy with Reds baseball. I am actually a bit nervous to see if I can "turn it on" come spring training next year.

Not having Dunn will definitely make it that much harder.

For me it was two years ago that the Reds beat me into submission. Actually the O'Brien followed by Krivsky and the The Trade is what did it. I have more hope now that Jocketty is in charge, but I went from living and dying based on Reds games (much like I still do with my NY Football Giants) to, eh.
+ NFL
= NYG (Its just not possible to be more of a fan or this would be +)
- NBA
- NY Knicks (although D'Antoni is bringing me back. Once they start getting nationally televised games this will ascend, but probably not as much as when I lived in NY and could watch the Ewing led Knicks on MSG whenever I wanted)
++ College Football
++ ND
+ College Basketball
+ UNC
No hockey, NASCAR, soccer for me.

I got into it while the Browns were extinct. Now it is too polished, too corporate, too boring. (Old-time fans were probably saying that about it in the mid-90's when I began watching as well, but its gotten exponentially worse).
Its become a joke.
Other than than I've remained the same in my fandom.
