There's always a pickup baseball game going on and a pro (or semi-pro) game is a nice way to spend a warm afternoon

Favorite sports to watch:
1) Pro Football
2) College Football
3) College Basketball

Favorite sports to play:
1) Golf
2) Basketball
3) Is paintball a sport?

In the immortal words of Janeane Garafolo, "I'd rather put this cigarette out in my ass"...rather than watch:
1) Golf on TV
2) NASCAR
3) Poker tournaments

THough I'm given to understand being at a NASCAR race is a lot of fun. I will have to try that some day. As for televised poker, if I ain't playing with my money, I'm not gonna CARE.

Softball I can understand, but playing baseball at my age would be insane.


I just got home from playing three sets of tennis. Really nice out tonight.

European Soccer is amazingly entertaining and the World Cup will be really something special this summer.

Totally agree, I usually take a few days off to watch and I tivo almost all matches and watch 'em all.

I pretty much like all sports. My favorites are pro basketball, playoff hockey, and NCAA basketball tournament. I love the World Cup and the majors in tennis and golf. I've always loved golf, but watching the PGA Championship in person when it was here was awesome. Racing is another sport that is much more fun to watch live. I haven't been to a NASCAR event, but I'd love to go sometime.

dogshow


by the way, as far as tailgating and pre and post game parties, nothing (i've been to) beats a nascar event. imagine the best tailgate party you've attended only it last for 3-4 days!!! I think once you've attended a race you will be hooked!

What no hockey on there come on. Playoff hockey is tied with watching football for number 1. Its just so intense and one hit, save, goal, penalty can change the momentum of the game. Just so exciting.

I'm debating taking a few days off as well. The US got a really tough draw this year though.

I'm hopeful that I can find time to watch some of the matches this summer. I don't have Tivo, so it should be challenging to watch a game live because of the time difference. It's taking place in Deutschland, isnt it?

In my last post I meant to say pro football (not pro basketball) is my favorite.

Fav sport to play:
1. Badminton
2. Squash/ping pong/tennis
Bretsky - fellow raquet sporter, eh?

To watch:
Pro football is about it. Some hockey (I am Canadian, eh?)
If I try sit still long enoughto watch much else for long, I grab one of my kids, go outside and start throwing stuff at him.

I was out on the golf course for the first time last weekend. Suddenly, after 22 years of playing golf and always having a killer drive, I developed a nasty hook on my drives....grrr.

I think I just have to face it that this big bertha driver I bought a couple years ago just isn't working out for me.

There very little in the way of sports that I want to watch.

Packers go without saying.

Hockey, in person, is exciting.

College bowl games, and Badger football.

I like to watch women jumping on trampolines at the end of the Man Show. Is that a sport?

March Madness is great.

That's it. Oh well, old NBA games on ESPN Classic are fun.

We'd get along well. I too love Badmitten, Ping Pong, and Racquetball. If there was one sport I'd probably go raquetball. I use to be really good; but now I'm out of shape so I'm just a smasher who has to hit harder and outsmart people cause I'm too d@m slow.

Skiing, and skiing.

Skiing should not be a sport, imo. It's amusement entertainment, much like riding on a roller coaster.

Figure skating should not be a sport also; it is basically dancing on ice.

wow, figure skating is like an art. I don't think there's anything basic about it.

They also call the dances of Britney Spears, Maddonna, MC Hammer art. Figure skating an art, perhaps. Sport, no way.

There has been debate on this topic over and over again......what people consider is or is not a "sport". Maybe some people determine if something is a sport based on whether it is a "team" effort? how physical it is? What they consider to be "talent"? I'm not really into labels. If someone participates in a physical activity and wants to call it a sport.....all the more power to them. Our Country has grown lazy and if paticipating in and calling some form of physical activity a sport then more power to them!

Well it shouldn't be nearly as bad as when it was in Japan and Korea. Those games were on at like 3:00am. It's only a 7 hour difference this summer so the first games of the day will be on in Primetime like 8:00 and the second at 11:00 so it will be a lot easier to watch.

There is a group that is even harder then ours but we will probably need two wins to advance. Italy likes to choke, the African country is very good but they are missing their best player. Czech Republic is very very good however. I could see the US and the Czechs advancing. The bad news is that the likely first round match-up would be with BRazil, Ouch!

Baseball/Softball is one sport that is just as fun to practice as it is to actually play the game for me!!!
