Another common one:

Uninterested means you don't find the subject worthy of your attention. In this case, you are bored by watching a game, because it's a sport you don't like, it's a blowout or being played badly, or something of that sort.

Disinterested means you are impartial, or you don't have a stake in the outcome... you can be watching a game intently, but be disinterested if you don't care who wins (you don't have money on it, you don't really root for either team, etc.).
