Sure. NFL, MLB, NBA, NASCAR.

Nascar ahhhhh! I'd rather watch Arena Football or the Oxygen Network.

You might, but the numbers don't lie. They have far and away surpassed the NHL in popularity, both measured with attendance and with TV ratings.

I counter with Oliver Miller. I'd say of the major four, it would definitely have to be the NHL, since a fat guy can play the other 3.

i would say there isn't a major four.

What sport has the best athletes?

By athletes I mean have the fittest, strongest, fastest players. What league or sport posses the best physical specimens?

I personally think it is the NBA, with virtually all their athletes being tall, strong, and fast this game also requires great endurance as the players are running up and down a court for a half hour or more.

Discuss!

overall, NBA or NHL.

He said best, not stupidest.

I was going to say the senior golfers, but then I got a look at the new, even more expansive Walrus on Sunday. Yikes. But then again I guess not everybody can be as buff as Allen Doyle.

for anyone who has seen any rugby for even a little bit would say that that would be the obvious answer. You are running a very good amount, and hitting too. Its not as anarobic as the NFL because the play is almost always moving. You will never find any out of shape professional rugby players

I played rugby in highschool and watch it all the time on FSN World Sports Channel. The forwards are larger and they are not in better shape than NBA players.

What about those World's Strongest Man competitors? Those guys are pretty amazing. I'm not saying they'd be out running marathons, but their functional strength and muscular endurance is incredible.
