Do you consider yourself more knowledgeable of basketball or football?

I'm not asking which you like better. Back in the day I played football and baseball but never played formal basketball, just pick up and fooling around games. I really appreciate a good color commentator while watching basketball as they frequently explain and show technical things that I just don't see in real time despite watching tons of basketball over the years.
With football I feel fine watching a game with sound off, especially with irritating commentators, because I can see and understand what's happening on my own.
Just wondering if any of you guys are more knowledgeable with one or the other, or maybe you all are smarter than I am and understand the technical aspects of both in real time.

Definitely better football knowledge. Hell I’ve coached baseball for more than a decade, played through high school and umpired for 13 yrs for private school baseball and thought I was an expert until my son started getting instruction from college players and coaches and all the sudden I realized how much I really didn’t know. Lol

I just know the major points about basketball.

Definitely football, probably because I've watched it nearly daily for at least 10 of the 17 years of my life whereas I've started watching basketball more over the past 2 or 3 years

Football by default as I don't understand the rules in basketball anymore. I see travels, balls palmed, pauses in dribbles, etc that aren't called the whole game and then with a minute to go those will be whistled. Too hard to keep up variable rules.

For me? Baseball > all other sports.

I played football and baseball (D2) in college. So I know far more about those sports than basketball.

Basketball and I feel the same way with basketball commentators, as you do with football commentators. They weren't always so bad, but most of them are terrible today and don't know WTF they're talking about. Especially the ESPN commentators.

Hearing them on A&M games was dreadful, straight up dreadful

Basketball. I played from youth through high school. I never formally played football. I picked up a Football for Dummies book a little while back and it has increased my understanding and appreciation for the details of the game.

Basketball by far. But baseball is definitely my most knowledgeable sport.

Basketball is less stuff to know so anyone who’s an avid fan of all three knows more about basketball.

Football. Getting more knowledgeable about basketball, but I'm not sure I'll ever understand defensive and offensive schemes in that game.

I know most of the rules of football, basketball and baseball, but I could only coach one sport above a middle school level.. baseball. I would be a damn good baseball coach.. and truth be told, it is one of my biggest regrets.

Glad to see something like this on here.
Myself is more knowledgable about football although I played both thru college. Now, with that being football has changed so much. Baseball is still pretty much the same game it has been since day one. I love nothing more than to see good fundamental players in both sports doing the little things right. Footwork, hitting behind the runner on 1st, calling a screen against a LB stunt, a catcher calling a pitchout on a stealing runner, a centerfielder hitting his cutoff man who relays the ball home on a guy trying to score from 2nd.

Football for me but being 6’4 I played all 3 sports in school.
But yes football is my favorite sport, the other sports bore me to watch on TV
