My list:
1. College football - the players and teams care about every game, the obligatory "hot college coed" cam, cheerleaders, great stadiums, generally the commentators don't suck.
2. Soccer (football) (European leagues - US isn't quite up there - yet) - strategy and build-up to a goal, athleticism, fans live and die for their teams (not always a good thing). I could do without the diving and embellishing injuries, though. There's a reason why it's called the 'beautiful game'. And the commentators usually know what they're talking about.
3. Hockey - The ultimate team game, and it's pretty fast, the game keeps flowing. I stopped watching after the strike for a while, and it's disappointing that the strike knocked out the NHL from the major TV networks, and I have to keep searching to find games (especially in HD), but I still love the game.
Pro football is close behind, but I really can't stand listening to the commentators. It's a sad state of affairs when you'd rather shut the sound off then listen to them prattling on and on about useless, random information.
Baseball is just boring to watch on TV, but awesome in person. I went to a couple games at Wrigley last year, and it was awesome. At least the commentary isn't too bad....
