"Anything else of interest besides basketball, golf, hockey, and car racing?"
Well, there's always curling, or broom hockey. And if worst comes to worst, FSN can always replay the Punkin' Chunken' Championships of 2011. Aww, baby, chunk it, chunk it real good!

⇒ Championship Curling, perhaps?

In this week's challenge, Perez Hilton will attempt to straighten Nikki Minaj's hair, rendering her simply " a hoe".
Don't diss Curling!

Haw dare you diss Curling! Unlike Football, it's an Olympic sport! I mean, really, what can be a better demonstration of the physical prowess of the Human Form than sliding a rock across the ice?

⇒ And it's an instructive sport

The dropouts make great janitors.
So true!

So true, and it's similar to the ancient art of Rhythmic Gymnastics, which is, undoubtedly, an excellent way of teaching women how to dust the top shelf with style and grace!
Remember that Swifter Duster commercial with the lady dancing around dusting things? That was actually Rhythmic-Gymnastics she was performing.
Sorry, Ladies!

Curling!!

More specifically, women's curling! Chicks in tight pants, bent over and pushing a broom. Ahhhh, the only thing that could be better than that is if they made me a sandwich!
(Sorry, ladies, that was my cro-magnon, pre-Okrahfication, ruralsexual male making an appearance.)

You have Fox Sports taking
Submitted by ricklail on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 1:48pm.
You have Fox Sports taking over the UFC. There is a match tonight. One thing you won't see on there are ads for guns, knives or ammo. I have never really gotten into UFC. If I wanted to see the real thing I could go to the Crash Bar, a biker bar, down near Havelock.
Still about 5 weeks until NASCAR kicks off. I am trying my best right now to get away from it. I am not going to sit and listen as to how Danica Patrick is running 5 laps down in 30th place and having a great race.
Watching the Pro Bowl is like watching, well nothing.
NHL All Star skills

NHL All Star skills competition is entertaining, the NHL All Star game is a joke.

LOL - No football makes me really cranky.
The Super Bowl had better be good.

Submitted by ricklail on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 5:00pm.
i don't watch that much regualr season basketball. DOOK comes to Chapel Hill Feb 8th. I'll watch that and then the meeting at DOOK, the ACC tournament and then get my fill of March Madness. I think the Senoir Bowl is on today on the NFL Channel
