I think hockey has the greatest increase from reg season to playoffs. But nothing beats playoff football Most true fans don't miss a single game, though there isn't as much to watch as other sports.

Football has the best regular season, but the trip to the Super Bowl isn't as great. Teams play once a week for 1-2 games a week, and playoff football feels very similar to regular season football. To top it all off, the Super Bowl is often more about a party than the actual game at this point, and the arena is often filled with fans that don't particularly care about the game.

Playoff hockey is legitimately played in a different way. The games are more physical, and players will put forth an effort and make plays that they aren't willing to in the regular season. Each series feels genuinely different from one round to the next. Teams fight through the playoffs for a month and a half or so on their road to the best trophy in all of sports while growing awesome playoff beards, etc.

I had to put my vote in for baseball because there's nothing better than baseball butts in tight baseball pants.

I again must say beach volleyball!

My man/woman. This is what I've been all about ITT.

I voted for soccer because world cup.

[Fiero85]

Lol I like tennis and all but it does not have a "playoff" system. There's multiple equally important majors throughout the year, like golf. Too many different possible champions every year to be in the running for best playoffs. There can only be one.

NBA is so LOL in the first round(s) every year so that's out, even though the Finals and conference finals can be awesome.

NFL has exciting playoffs in general but I agree with those above who say the Superbowl is, as a rule, lackluster (NFC/AFC 'ships are the best).

Serious question: is the World Cup a "professional" playoff? I didn't think there was a salary for national teams (a la the olympics). Don't know enough about Premier League or other professional soccer playoffs to comment (bores me to tears).

I think it's gotta be down to Hockey and Baseball for pro sports (if we're talking overall playoff quality), and from there I side with the fall classic of baseball. Mostly because they have the sense to shorten the opening rounds, so we can get to the good stuff of the WS while also giving wildcards/cinderellas/hot hands a more realistic shot at advancing or at least shaking things up (unlike 7 games for every damn round in hockey - takes half a year to trudge through, and megacorp teams just outlast newcomers {this is my Blues fan colors showing - damn Hawks }).

Hockey has the slim edge in terms of "taking things up a notch" more than any other pro sport. Those guys straight up battle and sacrifice the body. Baseball does too but without the pure physicality. NFL, if anything, drops off pretty often. For whatever reason the regular season rivalry games and the earlier playoff games usually outclass the Superbowl in intensity. (The NBA majorly ups the ante - technically more than the others- for playoffs, but they are disqualified because that's a relative measure to their anemic, if not pathetic, regular season play).

Rant over.

Yeah, everyone else is missing the point.

Agreeing with both of you.

To those leaving jobs who waited until now to give notice: you are smarter than me. I gave my notice in October (lol), and now with three weeks to go before my planned move date, I get my teaching hours cut to basically zero (I work at the TTTest of TTT esl schools). I don't really need the money at this point, luckily, but it pisses me off. So much for trying to be upfront with people.

I did the same and have been rewarded with training my replacement for my last 5 weeks. No part of my job requires 5 weeks of training.

I still haven't told my employer. I plan on giving about a one month notice.

UEFA Champions League, dawg. It pits the best teams in the best leagues in the world (Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, etc) against one another in one tournament. It's like the World Cup format with group stages first and then the playoff bracket. The finals is the most watched sporting event in the world.
