People of planet Earth: What are your favorite sporting events?
“Oh Ten” has already been kind to sporting events. The Super Bowl was actually worth watching this year. The Winter Games were better this time than four years ago. And March Madness was crazy good—the most exciting first round I’ve ever seen, in fact.
But it doesn’t stop there. Grand Slam tennis picks up again next month with the start of the French Open, followed by hollowed Wimbledon a month later. The Atlanta Braves are gonna win the pennant this year and make it to the World Series. And college football will once again turn your Saturdays into the most important day of the week.
More than anything, though, I have World Cup fever this year. The U.S. opens against former colonizer England on June 12. And other first round match ups are equally oozing with riveting story lines and potential. Plus, all 64 games will be freely broadcast over air by either ABC or Univision in high-definition. (Note to self: Remember to buy bigger TV before hand; clear your schedule from Jun 11 – Jul 11.)
But enough about me. What are your favorite sporting events? What are you excited to watch this year?

I’m not sure I have a favorite. I just like watching all pro sports on the highest level. World Cup, Olympics, Majors (golf and tennis), Super duper bowls, etc. Give me the best athletes in the world and add the drama of sport and you have my attention.
Thanks for the World Cup dates. Now I know when I will be husbandless! GGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!
Stanley Cup playoffs and World Series > everything else.
