Upon looking at the website provided, it appears that this little event is presented by something called Adrenaline Sports Management. The last time I checked, the idea of this being an "Adrenaline Sport" seems a little ludacris. I'm fairly certain that I have never played bags while sober, and the only time I've ever gotten a little rush of adrenaline out of the activity was when Lipid whacked Panther with a toss as last year's Darksideapalooza.

I also contend that this is not a sport, but that's a discussion for a different day.

If Poker can be on ESPN...Bags is most certainly a sport.

To me, any activity that can be performed to some extent while drinking and/or smoking (or both at the same time) do not qualify as sports. And away we go...

BOYD'S LIST OF ACTIVITIES THAT PEOPLE TRY TO PASS OFF AS SPORTS, BUT REALLY AREN'T
Bowling
Golf
Frisbee (ultimate and golf)
Poker
Bags
Darts
Billiards
Softball
Volleyball (the version played at the park and/or parties)
Auto Racing
Horse Racing
Wheelchair Basketball (lazy fuckers are just sitting around)
Table Tennis

This thread is becoming too controversial for me.

I know the activities listed are some of your favorites...I should have included video games in the list too.

Should have included fishing.

In the eyes of IMU:
Bowling - sport Wrong
Golf - sport Wrong
Frisbee (ultimate and golf) - activity
Poker - activity
Bags - activity
Darts - activity
Billiards - activity
Softball - activity
Volleyball (the version played at the park and/or parties) - sport Wrong
Auto Racing - utter horseshit
Horse Racing - gambling event
Wheelchair Basketball (lazy fuckers are just sitting around) - If this is VA wheelchair basketball, God bless them.
Table Tennis - best sport ever Wrong

edit: Fishing - good times

For those that don't think golf is a sport, go and walk a long 18 hole course while carrying your bag.

The pros don't even do that.

None of the pros carry their bag.

:lol:

We posted that at the exact same moment. How about great minds think alike?

For as physically exhausting as carrying clubs for 18 holes is, NASCAR drivers get physically and mentally exhauted from sitting in a hot, cramped car for 3 hours.

Still isnt a sport.

If Poker and baseball can be on ESPN...Bags is most certainly a sport.

Good rule of thumb: If whites do it better than blacks it's not a sport.

"Being happy" is not a sport.

Youre right because Jewish people are happy and Jewish people and sports...

What about their utter domination of an entire era of boxing?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for BoysTown to host this event?

Reminds me of that scene in Kingpin when dude is talking about being around all these great athletes and they're all 350lbs and old and smoking.

Smoking and drinking are not always requirements, but in this case, these guys are driving around making left handed turns. This theory is not a popular one with my dad either (he's a huge NASCAR fan)...he get's pissed when I refer to it as a "Redneck Turning Contest"
