Re: sports you just can't get into

The NCAA Tournament and the NBA Championship aren't even on the same page.

thats the smartest sports comment from you since you said edmunds was great.

is there anything better than that tourney?>

im thinking of heading to vegas for the sweet 16 weekend of it, and sitting at sports book.

Re: sports you just can't get into

I always consider Thursday and Friday that the tourney opens to be a wash -- all the attorneys at our office head out for lunch when the games start, and that's pretty much the day. Best time of the year for sports, hands down...

Re: sports you just can't get into

nba basketball aka chase the banana <-- how is throwing a ball at a circle a sport?

rugby <-- i dont understand this game at all. might think otherwise if i knew what was going on.

nascar <-- how exciting watching 50 cars drive in a circle for 5 hours OH FUCKING BOY!!!

golf <-- i know its a technical sport and all, but goddamn its quiet and boring.


im slowly starting to dislike the NFL. the over-officiating is ruining the game.

For the first time in a loooong time, i've not watched one NFL game all year.

I've been in bars and places where games were on, but i really don't get into it anymore, it's just an excuse to hit the pub and drink beers. Most of the time i couldn't even tell you what teams are playing.

Quit watching sportscenter too. That came about from just generally being pissed off at ESPN's shitty sports reporting during baseball season. Boycotting ESPN, have been since the spring, and i actually don't miss it at all.

Re: sports you just can't get into

AMEN. "How a hot team can beat anyone..." aka Cards 2006. Tony was talking about that after the WS on some local AM radio shows. He said he kept telling his team, "We make it into october, and we're a dangerous club to play."

Baseball is more than 162 games to me. Every day i check up on what teams are doing in the off season around the league. Ugh, can't wait until pitchers and catchers report. About two months away.

alright, i think ill have to give baseball a proper game next season then. you guys have convinced me. go mariners!

BUT YOU CANT JUst watch one game, if you're gonna give it a go, try to catch like say 10 games within 2-3 weeks on TV. mariners have a few really good young pitchers.

growing up my dad had one of those 8 foot dish's in the back yard. we got channels from other planets. i always browsed the sports channels in search of, well, sports. and i would attempt watching rugby from time to time but i never understood what the players were doing. they also show it in some local pubs. we have an irish pub called O'briens in the neighborhood that has all kinds of sports playing.

Baseball - slow and gay
NASCAR - do I really need to say anything?
Rugby - gay
Curling - wtf?

Re: sports you just can't get into

i love how ppl outside of the americas and asia say baseball is slow, yet, like soccer. soccer is beyond slow. passing is not action, im sorry. nothing happens in soccer outside of a rare goal. i mean, comon, one person guarding a net 30 feet wide by 9 feet high..... there should be a ton more goals.

Re: sports you just can't get into

april. but pay attention to ESPN in late Feb, early march and you will start to get information on how the team is shaping up and getting ready in the pre season. if you register for ESPN.com (dont pay), you can set your teams up and they will have boxscores on teh front page with links to all the info.

Re: sports you just can't get into

Re: sports you just can't get into

2. feel free to ask me what stats are, and how they impact, and how ppl view their importance... when it comes to baseball, i can explain it all.
