Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
If "sitting on your couch all day trying to watch as many sports as possible" is your type of post-Halloween activity (or at least something to do while you are furiously untagging yourself from Facebook pictures taken the night before), then you're in luck, because, as Inhistoric points out, Nov. 1 could be the sportiest day on television, maybe ever.
With the NFL and NHL already in full-swing, MLB wrapping-up its season late, and the NBA starting its early, there will be smorgasbord of sports on TV a week from Sunday.
This means that it may be possible to watch every single professional sports league all on the same day: the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, ATP, WTA, MLS, and NASCAR. It's a shame the UFL couldn't schedule a game in as well. Granted, in order to view all nine leagues, you'd need NBA TV, the Tennis Channel, the Golf Channel and about three or four season-ticket packages. And realistically, you may get so caught up watching Brett Favre return to Green Bay on November 1st that you'll completely ignore everything else. It's also worth noting that because Game 4 of the World Series happens on this day, there will be no Sunday Night Football on NBC. And since the Avalanche-Cunucks game starts at 10 PM Eastern, it's actually not unrealistic to watch most of the four big leagues consecutively (though you'd have to watch the Magic-Raptors game at 1 PM).
I can't begin to explain how pumped I am that I will be spending Nov. 1 in a car for (at least) six hours, driving home from a wedding. Super pumped.
