I'll give ya a c-rack, ya doity bastid. Bronx Bombers Rule!

Okay, so I basically find all sports boring as an 8-minute live version of "Miss You." I just find baseball less boring than the rest. And it has given me some truly exciting moments over the years.

Now football - that is some prime nap-inducing material right there.

I actually still get off on the 8 minute live versions of Miss You. And yes, NFL is mindnumbing boring until the playoffs.

actually A. I thought it was because rugby wasn't complicated enough

slightly OT - you wonder why this version of football never really caught on - all you need is a ball, a wall and a tree

here are the rules and a bit of history:

as played circa 1920

Lol, maybe....to Americans, anyway. But I'd still like to know a bit more about the rules and such.

I can watch pretty much any sport---except for basketball. Just don't like it. I got mad at "it" back in the early 70's when ACC basketball pre-empted a made-for-TV movie that I really wanted to see. lol I had met one of the actors in the movie {Ben Murphy, of "Alias Smith & Jones" fame}, and talked to him about it, and I just really, really wanted to see it after that. Turned on the TV.....and.....GRRRRR. Basketball instead.

Plus, basketball, in one form or another {college, pro,women's} is on TV literally TWELVE months of the year. Overkill.

I actually would like to attend a Cricket match on my next trip to the UK.
I was really into baseball when I was younger, so I'd like to see how it compares.
Would help if I could go with someone who wouldn't mind putting up with me for a few hours! Blank Frigging Stare

But I've been wondering why. It's always the same old teams that get all the big free agents and are always in the playoffs. Why should a Baltimore Orioles fan care about baseball any longer when the Yankees or Red Sox will aways be ahead? No reason any more, eally.

kind of junkie. I mean I'm a :funny Nolte - The Rocks Off patron saint

kind of sports junkie....But Cricket? WTF? I have tried watching a second or two of cricket. Really what the hell is the general principle of the game. It's like baseball with tea and Heroin.

Hmm... I can understand someone trying to make something less of a complication, but not the other way round. Maybe you are right, of course. I'll just carry on beleiving my theory! Wink
