You can only watch one of these pseudo-sports for the rest of your life. Death is not an option. What's your choice? |

Easy choice, it is futbol, UNLESS, Tiger is on the prowl. Then I would watch Tiger 24/7. |

Tennis but only if I can limit it to women's. And Venus Williams can't be involved. Serena is the goods, though. |

If a competition is determined by the competitors on the field, then it is a sport. If a competition is determined by judges watching the competitors on the field, then it is not a sport. |

That's marines. It was a good-looking honorable discharge. Thank you kindly for asking. |

FF, it's best to just ignore this guy. He is just a mean spirited little twat who acts many years beneath his age. And for IMU, that question you posted to him in the manner you posted it would get you beaten within an inch of your life if you asked a former military man that in person, I suspect. Very fucking obnoxious and extremely dangerous. |

immessedup17 wrote: But at least I'm not ignorant about sports, amirite?! And yeah, you're right. They're not known for using their heads. In my humble opinion, your ignorance on most other topics greatly outweighs any minor knowledge you may have in a very narrow field of your selected sports, which, quite frankly, is not terribly impressive either. And as for your next ignorant comment, you don't particularly use your head much in this manner either. As for the rest of it, I'm already tired of your shit and I've read all of three of your posts over the last 5 weeks. Later. |

And to you thinking you're important enough to obsess over. Damn that's funny. Or is this another example of you just saying amazing things!tm to get one of your desired reactions? Nevermind. Don't bother answering. I really could not care less. Anyway to answer FavreFan, I'd take Golf. It's much more interesting than tennis and soccer, and I can't say I've ever actually seen a cricket game. |

It's like total action now from the little amount I watch. Used to be a lot more boring but now it's like they catch everything. |
