We just had the Pro Bowl :yawn:, and the NHL All-Star game :yawn:, and now we have the NBA's coming up :doubleyawn:. Which do you prefer, or are you like me, and couldn't possibly give a shit less about them?

I'm not really a fan of any of them, but I'd have to go with the MLB All-Star Game. That's the only one I watch and even then I sometimes turn it off after a few innings. The events before the All-Star Game are more entertaining, like the Slam Dunk Contest, 3-Point Contest, Home Run Derby and NHL Skills Competition.

Yeah, the pre-game stuff is pretty cool. The games are normally just snooze-fests.

**Captain Iago** · 02-02-2012, 08:06 PM

Truly, I find better outlets of entertainment when these are on. Major snooze-fest.

MLB only because the 1v1 pitcher vs hitter battles and they still try.

what ever happened to the skill challenges the NFL used to do? Like the strongest man, fastest man, most accurate passer, etc.

That was actually pretty fun to watch.

I hate all-star games.

Other....none of these

**Captain Iago** · 02-02-2012, 09:37 PM

Wait, there's really going to be a NBA all star game this season...after 20 regular season games? Wow, the league doesn't want to lose those bucks.

i only like the allstar game for the nhl as of late with the fantasy draft. skills comp has gotten stale, dunk contests, 3 pointer etc. baseball is dumb as fuck for counting the game for home field advantage.

**Crystallas** · 02-03-2012, 03:02 AM

It just depends on what is at stake.

I'm going to support the NBA ASG, just because I want to see Rose get the ASG MVP. He might not get it, but I'll definitely check it out. I do the same for the NHL ASG. And if we had someone that could pile on points and win the Pro Bowl MVP, then I would give two shits. Baseball does irk me, like others said, because of the lame home field advantage.

I still like the 3pt shootout, dunk contest, NBA skills challenge, and home run derby a lot. Of course, the home run derby was a lot better when everyone was swapping the cream and the clear.
