Yeah, I do, haha. Not saying I'm very good at it, but I'm okay. I got lessons when I was like, four or five, and now it's just my dad that teaches me (he's really good at it). I think half the problem with me playing is that I could be pretty good, but I don't have enough strength to hit the ball over two hundred yards.
People say golf is a sport for old people, but clearly they don't know how much patience the sport takes, if you're taking it seriously. It's extremely frustrating sometimes, I find.
Haha, for our soccer team it was like:

Yeah, we were pretty crap. I think out of over twelve games, we won three or four.

^45 minutes strait of pure kicking back and forth? Hurray! Reminds me of Nascar right there.. lol
As I said before.. try watching a high school or college game. The breaks are few and far between.. and isn't all about the money.
I also hate the NFL like most of you.. but if you generalize all of football to that **** NFL on TV, you are missing out on the real sport.
And.. btw.. just because the TV goes on commercial break, doesn't mean the teams stop playing.. just FYI.

Would probably be cricket or NASCAR.
Cricket is just generally dull because it's so slow to progress through the game. Playing it is fun and it's one of the better games, but watching is *yawn*.
NASCAR is dull because american motor racing drivers don't like interesting circuits. What is so exciting about 20 odd drivers racing round an oval? It just gets repetitive. F1 on the other hand is quite fun to watch because there is a variety.

Golf and Snooker are usually boring the majority of the time.
Cricket and Darts can have their dull moments.

Chess :--D
As for "spectator sport", I would say 10 000 m running; a dozen people running for half an hour in a large oval. Not to mention that there often are close to a hundred people competing, resulting in same boring stuff for three hours.
As for winter sports, Norwegian television often shows thirteen hours of it every day during weekends. More during world cups. Funnily enough, I've never get bored of it. Mostly because I never pay attention.
I daresay we are the best winter sport nation out there

^I think most of time it's to do with what you have played and have exprience in. I love playing and wathcing Rugby and hate cricket., but my friend who has played cricket all his life says that Rugby sucks and cricket rules.
^There is a fanboy in everyone.
Think I never could have seen an American Football match, let alone basket (well, I did once, but I brought two Donald Duck pocket books and my gameboy). Football is huge in Norway, but the Norwegian teams sucks, so I have never watched an entire match in my life. If we had been amongst the world-class, I think I would have watched more.
