Hockey and teeth
October 29, 2007 - 03:50 ET by UnsaneThough not a hockey fan (of a team, anyway, though I like the sport), and waiting for the day Houston poaches an NHL team, I must admit I liked a comment I heard one day on CNBC on why hockey is superior to football: "Football players retire with their teeth."

I agree...
October 28, 2007 - 23:00 ET by Hermanobut the Deacons will rise again, and our football team they pounded the Heels this weekend, which is yet more proof that we have become a football school.
Speaking of "becoming a football school"
October 29, 2007 - 12:28 ET by RJThe UCONN Huskies, widely known for basketball, went Division 1-A in football in 2002.
Saturday, UCONN defeated #11 South Florida and are now BCS ranked at #13 (AP #16).
Congratulations on your win, too, Hermano! :^)
Women's basketball looks
October 29, 2007 - 14:07 ET by LeonWomen's basketball looks like Men's basketball if it were played under water.
Super slow motion.
Amen. There are SO many
October 29, 2007 - 14:13 ET by balboaAmen. There are SO many better women's sports to watch than basketball. Volleyball and tennis are way more entertaining. Women's bball is just not exciting at all.
Agreed Balboa.In fact,
October 29, 2007 - 14:18 ET by LeonAgreed Balboa.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's painful. Not too mention how unflattering those uniforms are.
Big jersey, big baggy shorts, and clod-hopper shoes are not sexy (which is really the only reason we watch women's sports in the first place...)
I myself, enjoy women's lacrosse, volleyball, and tennis. But those are the only ones.
Field hockey could be cool if there wasn't a whistle every 2.5 seconds.
So basically the only good women's sports involve short skirts or hot pants.
The fact that you left out
October 29, 2007 - 15:06 ET by Roger the ShrubberThe fact that you left out the most visually-appealing women's sport out there: college swimming and diving, tells me you are either making this sh*t up as you go along, or that you prefer to bite the pillow.
Classy Roger, reaaaaal

Now I finally know where you got this whole score-keeping obsession. You couldn't actually physically participate b/c your gigantic head made running while maintaining balance impossible, sooooo you participated in the only way you could.
By keeping score.

Women's swimmers are NOT
October 29, 2007 - 16:04 ET by balboaWomen's swimmers are NOT that attractive. The exceptions being Amanda Beard and Summer Sanders. They tend to be huge-shouldered, hulking folks.
And Roger used THEM to
October 29, 2007 - 16:06 ET by LeonAnd Roger used THEM to call ME a pillow biter.
Don't worry Roger, finding strong, muscular women sexy isn't gay at all.
Ha! What a couple of knuckle-draggers you are balboa and leon
October 29, 2007 - 18:57 ET by RJYour smugly superior posts about women's basketball tells more about you than they do about women's basketball.
i.e. you think looks and tight-fitting clothes are an important part of the game, and you think that fans who watch high school or Division 2 games are fools for wasting their time with lesser athletes....
Oh, wait. I get it. You think watching over-sized freaks of nature palm a basketball that is about the equivalent of you and me using a tennis ball is more competitively valuable than watching women playing under more challenging conditions....um, yeah, that's enlightened liberal thinking, all right....
ook, ook, bal and leon :^)
Yeah, RJ
October 29, 2007 - 19:21 ET by BlondeI think we may need "moderate comments" back here....with a button for liquid alerts.
Leon's post about the uniforms had me cracked up. Leon's all focussed on the uniforms, clod-hopper shoes, etc. The women who play the game are focussed on athleticism.
Apparently for Leon, that these women aren't "fat" isn't good enough. You gotta admit, though, RJ, that these women in CFM's and a cocktail dress would be enough to send little L. from the room screaming.
I think Leon is "Shallow Hal".
Leon's posts have really become theatre of the absurd.

October 29, 2007 - 21:02 ET by balboaYou're attributing opinions to me that I've never stated.
Oh, that's right, bal
October 29, 2007 - 21:09 ET by RJyou confined YOUR shallow comments to women swimmers, who "tend to be huge-shouldered, hulking folks."
That's not shallow; that's
October 29, 2007 - 21:20 ET by balboaThat's not shallow; that's fact. In general, women swimmers tend to have very well-developed shoulders and backs, which I don't think is very attractive. The physique of female soccer, volleyball, and tennis athletes is more appealing to me.
So what, Bal?
October 29, 2007 - 21:26 ET by BlondeThey probably think your little white pudge dunlop is gross too.
Shallow Hal....
Seriously.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
I didn't say this makes them
October 29, 2007 - 21:33 ET by balboaI didn't say this makes them bad people or that they're somehow inferior to others. I didn't say they were "gross." They're amazing athletes. But in the broad spectrum of female athletes out there, the physique of the female swimmer is not my fav.
Hulking: One, such as a person or object, that is bulky, clumsy,
October 29, 2007 - 21:30 ET by RJor unwieldy.
Synonyms: massive, cumbersome, ponderous.
Obviously, you either misused the word or you have some kind of an obsession regarding strong women....maybe both.
Regardless, bal, that you characterize women athletes according to your arbitrary attractiveness scale and not their athletic ability is what is shallow.
Do you do the same for male athletes?
Oh get over yourself. Your

It's the perfect metaphor.
Do you think they'll whisper again in public?
SOD....I'd rather watch my cats fight.
Ugly uniforms for the lady BB players? What's up w/that?
I have news for these two....women engage in sports...because we're competitive. We like to win. We enjoy the competition. We don't care what we look like when we're competing.
And we certainly could hardly care less what Leon or Bal thinks about any of it. Sheesh!

Blonde, our Women's bb team sells out a 10,000 seat arena
October 29, 2007 - 22:07 ET by RJfor every game of every year. Not only that, but EVERY women's bb game is televised. I'm thinking most of those fans don't give a damn about how attractive the women are...or if their uniforms are too loose.
Oh, just in case anyone is wondering if we like the women because there's nothing else to watch or if we have any basketball savvy, I'm talking about the UCONN Huskies....and UCONN basketball is THE state sport.
RJ,
October 29, 2007 - 22:19 ET by BlondeThat is too cool for school!
I love it.
Personally, I dislike basketball...for a number of reasons.
But, I'd imagine that the ladies playing the game would be alot more honest and sportsmanlike than the men (Hello....Gators are National Champs....2 in a row in BB...sorry just had to throw that in here).
I am maybe (maybe) tall enough to have played women's college basketball...but I chose to water-ski. LOL.
I truly admire college-atheletes. Particularly the women. I know, Titile IX be damned. But that's part of the college experience. Trust me when I tell you...the water-ski team wasn't anything. But it was a big fat lot of fun for those of us who were on it!

More on tennis
October 31, 2007 - 04:54 ET by UnsaneAmen on female tennis players.
They tend to be tall, as I discovered when my personal favorite won Wimbledon in 2004. Tall is good. AND as a bonus, women typically wear skirts when playing tennis!
:-)
Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.
Sorry RJ, I don't
October 30, 2007 - 09:16 ET by LeonSorry RJ,
I don't partcularly like men's basketball either but at least it looks good.
Women's basketball looks so slow and lame it's actually depressing.
I mean, does the WNBA even still exist? Nobody knows.
I don't think tight fitting clothes are part of the game, but when you're already clunking around the court in slow-motion with minimal displays of athleticism, the ugly uniforms and giant shoes just make everything worse.
Women's basketball is the worst of the worst.
Oh and why are their conditions more challenging? B/c they're slow & unathletic?
Way to objectify women, Leon.
October 30, 2007 - 09:42 ET by RJ"Big jersey, big baggy shorts, and clod-hopper shoes are not sexy (which is really the only reason we watch women's sports in the first place...)"
Way to negate women's ability to compete athletically. Such sad, shallow attitudes, Leon. Look around. Maybe some of your friends have managed to mature, emotionally, beyond the high school locker room.
Go back and read Blonde's posts about the competitive spirit of women. Read my post about our women's bb team selling out all games, baggy uniforms and all. I'm guessing most of those fans disagree that sexiness is the only reason to watch women's sports.
Women's lacrosse? That is
October 29, 2007 - 20:19 ET by Roger the ShrubberWomen's lacrosse? That is somehow better, sexier than swimming? Lacrosse players, one step removed from softball players? At least we got to see Amanda Beard and Summer Sanders in a swimsuit. I cannot argue tennis chicks, but volleyball has produced, what, Gabby Reece? 1 hot chick and a million 6-foot tall chicks with flat chests?
Bal named two swimmers. Can you name two hot lacrosse players or volleyball players?
Lacrosse players, Hater? Gave yourself away,you Swarthie.

They are not too shabby,
October 30, 2007 - 09:00 ET by Roger the ShrubberThey are not too shabby, Bal. I actually like the chick behind More even better!
What triggered my response to this thread was that, if guys like us dig hot chicks in tip-top physical shape, than how can a swimmer be less attractive than the sports mentioned, like tennis, volleyball, or even soccer? They all have fantastic physiques, and the bonus with swimming or diving is that they are barely wearing clothes (which I guess volleyball can fit into that category, too). Ripping on a sport for having a uniform that is unappealing, but then ripping on swimming for wearing hardly any clothes at all, seems rather queer to me, and what straight guy critiques women's basketball fashion?
Roger, You're joking
October 30, 2007 - 09:09 ET by LeonRoger,
You're joking about hot lacrosse players right?
Look at any state school's team. Penn State, Delaware, Maryland, etc. etc.
Highest proportion of hot chicks in sports hands down.
Go to the suburbs outside Balitmore or the Main Line in PA and you'll see how right I am.
How can a swimmer be less attractive? Because they are muscle-bound, wide shouldered, and thick thighed. Add a bathing suit to this combination and it's down right nasty.
What good is a girl in a bathing suit when she looks like a dude?
Like I posted before, Amanda
October 30, 2007 - 09:35 ET by Roger the ShrubberLike I posted before, Amanda Beard did not make the cover of Playboy by playing lacrosse.
Lacrosse players, like soccer player, have muscular legs and thighs and must possess some impressive upper-body strength. You do not get into a Div I program without having some seriously-gifted physical characterstics. Those are not slender waifs running around out on the field.
I am a fan of all of those characteristics, of all these sports. I would not be turning down any opportunity to see any of these women in bathing suits.
It is humorous to see you try to defend yourself by simply repeating the "wide shoulders/huge thighs" mantra over and over. If it makes you feel better, go for it. It doesn't change the facts. All those sports have similiar characteristics. I would not be turning down ay opportunity to see all of those girls in a bathing suit. Why would you?
Aren't you a little too old to be combing the high schools for hot girl lacrosse players, Hater? Should the authorities in the suburbs of Philly be on the look-out for your van? Oh, wait, you are probably the "Fast and Furious" type of loser car owner. You know the type: p.o.s. beater import compact with the big fin on the back, and a coffee can muffler.
Roger, 1) Amanda Beard is
October 30, 2007 - 12:44 ET by LeonRoger,
1) Amanda Beard is the exception, not the rule
2) I have many, many thin female friends that played high-end D1 lacrosse at schools like UVA, Georgetown, JMU, U-DEL, Penn State, etc. In Girl's lacrosse, you are correct that some of the girls are power players, but there a high number that are speed players. They are plenty of slender waifs running around the D1 fields, you just don't watch, so you have no clue.
3) Why turn down an opportunity to see a gross girl in a bathing suit? Hmmm. Let me think about that one.
4) As for the highschool girs, I was merely referring back to my experiences in those areas when I was in high school on the Main Line. The lax girls were always the hottest. Hands down.
5) I live in cities. I haven't owned a car since college. And when I did own a car it was a 95 Toyota Camry. V-4. No ABS. No power windows. No power locks. Not exactly the fast and furious type of car. Not a big car guy.
Roger, it's ok to like big strong women, it's just kind of gay.
I think I have a sport that would make you drool. Female powerlifting. Nice tight singlets. You should check it out.
In other words, you really
October 30, 2007 - 13:16 ET by Roger the ShrubberIn other words, you really have no answers, no proof to support your argument, other than your "vast personal experience" of scoping out high school chicks.
Since I have effortlessly named 2 ex-swimmers and 1 ex-pro volleyball player that have "made it" in the "good looks" media and entertainment industry, and you have produced NADA to support your argument, you have no legs to stand on. Call my examples "exceptions", but compared to the copious amount of evidence you have offered (ie: none), you lose. I have proven that not all swimmers are fat, disgusting slobs built like guys. You have proven nothing.
All you keep posting are regurgitations of what seems to be a bad experience while growing up. Did a girl swimmer beat the crap out of you, since you keep saying all of them are gross, disgusting fat slobs? We might be on to something here, unlocking the secret of Hater's tormented past.
Not one word on tennis...
October 31, 2007 - 04:51 ET by UnsaneOkay, I went the entire exchange above on women's sports and barely heard a single peep about women's tennis. I enjoy watching women's tennis.
...and if I had out my Cyrillic-optimized laptop right now, I'd spell out the reason for you. I hate transliteration.

Baseball First, Football A Close Second
October 28, 2007 - 15:36 ET by Repeal 16-17I voted for Baseball. The only sport to have no clock (always time for a comeback). Football is a close second. Football is the tough guys' sport, until enough rule changes are made to completely wussify it. After that, hockey, basketball, and then (in a distant last) soccer.
Beddy Beddy Good
October 29, 2007 - 12:11 ET by mattmBaseball is the only legitimate game. It's not governed by a clock. You have to get the other team out. You can't keep going to your best guy all the time. Size and speed are not the final determinants of a players abilities. etc. etc.
Baseball can only be rigged if the players agree to throw games, which would be quite obvious. The owners and the league can't manipulate outcomes through the officials the way the NFL does.
If MLB was like the NFL, most playoff games would go the full 7 or at least 6 games...a sweep would be a once in a decade phenomenon.
Hockey and basketball are too officious. Too much depends on how the refs call the game. Soccer is too boring.
NASCAR doesn't count....(Sorry guys, I just can't see myself watching cars go around in circles for 3 hours)...

Differences between Sport and Games
October 28, 2007 - 15:46 ET by Lame CherryIn the rather urban bastadization of vocabulary, Teddy Roosevelt would point out that there is a difference between games and sports.
A game can be something mundane as football which I enjoy among games to something extreme as the Roman games of gladiators. Games have arena rules imposed on citizens who can not govern themselves.
A sport is a something of forest and field traditionally without rules as the gentleman's etiquette barred anything but moral standards. George Washington hound hunting, General Custer in gaze hunting, Theodore Roosevelt wilderness hunting, Bill Dixon trapping, Buffalo Bill running buffalo, Pappy Hemingway sport fishing onto Norman Schwartkopf sporting clays to Dick Cheney hunting on the plains are of the class of sport.
In those sports, I list the winged shot of upland fowl and waterfowl supreme, the horsemanship of the hound in pursuit of the mountain lion enticing and the trail of the elk to the kodiak food for the soul and in respect to Tom Krause the lonely haunts of the pine martin the haven of the spirit.
As Theodore Roosevelt explained, the sport trained the free citizen for the battles of life and the battles of literal warfare. Sport is the predicate of survival in all situations while the game is an amusement.

October 29, 2007 - 01:36 ET by Gary P JacksonAs a lifelong sportsman drag racer, I love the Roosevelt quote!
Also very fond of a quote attributed to Ernest Hemmingway:
"There are only three sports: Bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering. All the rest are merely games."
So for me, it's NHRA drag racing, with NASCAR coming in a close second. All other forms of racing falls in behind.
I do enjoy baseball though. Go Sox!
Games vs Sports
October 29, 2007 - 01:51 ET by Cool ArrowA sport is a something of forest and field traditionally without rules as the gentleman's etiquette barred anything but moral standards.
I particularly liked the sport of herding buffalo off of cliffs.
If it's for fun, it's a game. If you donate the venison to the poor family down the road, it's still a game.
If it's what you do for your food, it's life.
I'm not seeing much difference between "sport" and "game".
Can't wait until deer feeders dispense corn kernels from a gun barrel. IED's for hunting could be fun too.

My two favorite sports,
October 28, 2007 - 16:22 ET by MikeBMy two favorite sports, neither one of which I can participate in anymore, are fencing and rock climbing.
Neither one are expensive to start in.
A five minute fencing match can give you a better aerobic workout than a half-hour aerobics class. Fencing is one of those activities wherein age and deceit can defeat youth and enthusiasm. (And, it's always fun to take down one of those young whippersnappers.)
Rock climbing lets you out into the great outdoors. It is an activity that forces you to expand your limits. It really enforces mental discipline in that if you are up on the rock, and suddenly decide that gravity works, it does. A climber never "conquers" a mountain or a rock face. Every time a climb is attempted, the climber must concentrate everything he/she has on the climb, otherwise the climb doesn't happen. Climbing is more a competition with ones self rather than with another human or even Nature.

Another Patriot "dirty trick?"
October 28, 2007 - 17:42 ET by RJFor the entire first half, the Redskins upstairs coaches have been unable to communicate with the coaches on the field. Can this be from natural causes, or is it another Patriots "dirty trick?"
And what are the Patriots doing running up the score again? Come on, 24 to nothing in the first half? Don't they have any concern for the feelings of the Redskins players and fans?
Now it's 38-0. Patriots sending a message to Indianapolis?

Is "meditating" a sport? It
October 28, 2007 - 17:58 ET by RackieIs "meditating" a sport? It is somewhat like "napping" which I consider a sport but with "meditating" you're supposed to sit up-right.

I voted other because you
October 28, 2007 - 20:15 ET by Warner Todd HustonI voted other because you guys didn't have a "None" for an answer.
I HATE sports.
ALL of them.
I can't imagine a bigger waste of time, money or government attention. Sports should be removed from our schools because it teaches NOTHING.
So, I had to vote other, but NOT any "other" sport.
NO SPORTS.
It's the opiate of the masses.
Wow, Warner
October 28, 2007 - 20:29 ET by BlondeMust totally disagree with you on this one.
Sports are valuable to us in socializing the little animals we call children. Schools teach (or at least used to) the values of sportsmanship...unfortunately they no longer teach winning. They also teach a child the value of making the effort. Teamwork. Striving.
Many sports also set one up for one's professional life...golf and tennis being two that come immediately to mind.
Plus, they're fun! Some just to watch (like football), and some to do...like the ones in which I indulge. Granted, they can be expensive, but so what? I earn my money....the sports in which I indulge float my own boat (literally). And participating in any sport is good for you, physically.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
Right, Blonde. Warmer is WAY off base (!) with this one
October 28, 2007 - 21:37 ET by RJAgree with everything you said, plus the opportunity for the chilrun to blow off energy....
Warner must envision some kind of required but "socially approved" calesthenics program....shudder...
Laughing, RJ
October 28, 2007 - 21:40 ET by BlondeI'm envisioning the 1984 Hillary commercial....with all of the drones...and the lady throwing the hammer through HRC's yapping face.
Egads...that's such a vision!

Wasn't that a pretty slide, botg?
October 28, 2007 - 21:58 ET by RJBut Lester trying to bunt all three strikes was funny.
You guys & your baseball
October 28, 2007 - 22:02 ET by BlondeI have to laugh....and I know, it's no laughing matter to you fans of the game.
I just don't get it...not in my DNA, I guess....I grew up when there were no superstations, and no b-ball team in South Florida.
Cut my teeth on Johnny Unitas, actually...hmmmm...maybe that's why I prefer football?
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
Oh, but we do laugh at baseball, Blonde
October 28, 2007 - 22:14 ET by RJI just pointed out how silly the Red Sox pitcher looked as he tried to bunt his way on base....and took three bunt-strikes! :^)
Also, unlike other sports, baseball has a history of having a lot of "characters" and goofy player, team, and fan rituals. Then, too, bb players are known for being highly supersititous.
Since you like to read, you should pick up some of the classic bb writers. I recommend "You know me, Al" as a funny classic.
Hey, I grew up in Baltimore during the Johnny Unitas years. What a football-crazy town THAT was! The sneak thieves in Indianapolis will NEVER deserve to be called "Colts"!!!!!!!
Funny RJ
October 28, 2007 - 22:25 ET by BlondeWell, maybe I'd gain an appreciation of the game by reading some of the "classics". So, I'm going to copy your suggestion to my list.
One of my first memories is as a little 4 - 5 year old blonde...running back & forth between my neighbor's house & ours...delivering the $1 bet on the winners....and sipping both my dad's & the neighbors beer! LOL. They'd put it in a little shotglass for me.
Of course, I now realize they were trying to make me fall asleep so I'd quit bugging them.
I did have a poster of Johnny Unitas in my room, probably until I was about 15, changed rooms and decor, and then had a poster (really cool one, too..wish I still had it, silver & black one) of the Beatles.
