I am at the other end of the sports interest spectrum. My SO has said (probably true) that I would watch two people playing tidily-winks if they put it on ESPN.
I would watch the Olympics, but I'm personally boycotting watching the coverage due to the commercial exploitation of sport by the large companies and the political exploitation of the games by the host country. I get the results on-line or in the newspaper.
Favorite sports book: The Amateurs by David Halberstam
David Halberstam was a Pulitzer prize author of political non-fiction. After a large project, he would indulge himself with a short project he found interesting, usually something about sports. This was a wonderful book written by a wonderful writer.
