Do you watch championships, if your fav team isn't involved?

Baseball and basketball seasons end for me when the Bucks/Brewers are eliminated.  For college and pro football I watch the Championship games and a good amount of playoffs.

Depends on the sport.

NFL: Yes. NBA: Sometimes depending on if it’s competitive, close. MLB: never. Don’t watch hockey.

[supermike80 1,913]

Except the Superbowl, generally not.  

[cmh6476 1,025]

Don't really know what that's like anymore

[jerryskids 6,799]

NFL, CFB football and basketball I watch.  Baseball and basketball, I'll put the games on if I'm around but it's not appointment viewing.  Yesterday for instance we put the Celts/Mavs on the main TV, and the DBacks on a 2nd TV.  By the 3rd quarter we lost interest in basketball and put the DBacks on the main screen.

[IGotWorms 4,058]

Football and sometimes hockey, yes.

Otherwise no

[weepaws 3,194]

No, I don’t like the changes that have been made in sports, based on rule changes, I stoped enjoying watching sports back in 2010.

NFL, NHL and MLB

I won't watch a ton of the playoff games, but always will watch World Series, Stanley Cup and obviously Thuper Bowl

[Thornton Melon 620]

NFL and NHL - yes.

NBA and MLB - I maintain a passing interest, catch snippets of the games, and check the results on TV/online

If you only watched when your team is in the championship, you’d watch very very few championships. That to me doesn’t make much sense.

[Hawkeye21 2,399]

Depends on the sport.  I will always watch the Super Bowl, and the National Championships for football and basketball.

The only way I'm watching the NBA Finals is if the Bulls are playing.  I'll watch the NHL Finals if the Blackhawks are playing.  The World Series depends on the teams playing.

Football: yes

Basketball:. Sometimes

Other sports: no

[Bier Meister 1,710]

depends on sport and what i have going on.

will always watch the super bowl.

i had the house to myself the past few days so threw on the nba finals.  

while i like hockey, i have been a bit detached for several years.

baseball- i will follow but rarely watch the full games when the giants are not in the playoffs.

not big on march madness anymore

[kilroy69 1,251]

I typically do. As a detroit fan our teams have not had much to root for in a while so there was no point in avoiding watching the championships. That being said I was so pisssed off last year as a lions fan that I did not even watch the superbowl. Just the thought of it pisssed me off. 

[Bert 1,128]

NFL: Yes

Baseball: Sometimes

All other sports: never

[Tree of Knowledge 1,859]

Pretty much just the NFL Championship.  I don’t watch the NBA.  I have lost interest in college football over the past decade.  
 

My baseball team is the Reds and NHL is Blue Jackets, so I can skip most post seasons.  UK Basketball so, thanks to Cal, I have been done the first weekend the last few years and I am too sickened to watch the rest of the tournament.  

[seafoam1 3,031]

Depends how much I bet on it, if at all.

Hasn’t been a problem for you, the Bears still suck.  Thanks. 

[patweisers44 846]

Hockey and football yes.  I admit i am a fair weather hoops fan and baseball i will tune in but not religiously

We got the college football championship this year.
