What's the best way to go about getting into sports?

Start with "The Heart of Rock and Roll." Then check out "If This is It." (Give it a couple listens.)

If you like both of those, you might be ready for "I Want a New Drug."

There're a ton of replies, so I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but try watching live sports. Every non-sports fan I know usually enjoys watching it live. If you're doomed to love sports, it'll translate to enjoying it on television or radio (or internet, thief).

On a personal note, you may want to try watching the former whipping posts of the MLB, the Seattle Mariners, continue to surprise all teams and fans this year. It's inspirational along the lines of any moment that has ever touched your heart.

I think starting with a sport you can watch live is the best way. I once went to a hockey game, I knew nothing about hockey, and thought I'd be bored, but it was pretty fast paced and exciting to watch.  I still know nothing about hockey, but I will always remember the experience.  I went to watch some of the US Open's tennis a couple of times with someone who knew the game well.  That was interesting and easy to follow because my friend explained it. So I think that if you can go with someone who knows the sport and likes it, you'll get a lot more out of it.  Also, try to attend some women's sports events, tennis, soccer, basketball, hockey. They are great athletes to follow, and their teams are not that well represented in the main stream.
