DJL 235 #1 August 9, 2005 I'm the kind of person who's not interested in an activity that I'm not directly involved in. I also have the opinion that most people watch professional athletics just so they can talk about it at the office the next day with their fantasy pools. I love watching college sports because it's all about sportsmanship and loyalty to your team. In the professional leagues it's mostly jack-asses out for their own contract. So, I find most professional sports to be pretty boring. I'm interested in seeing what other people think. I limited this to team sports that most of the collective actually watches.

CanuckInUSA 0 #14 August 9, 2005 Quotegofl and tennis. ewwww. For sure golf is up there. I find womens tennis better than mens tennis. At least in the womens the game they rally a bit. The mens game is all power with hardly any rallys. Now that's boring ... Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #20 August 9, 2005 QuoteQuoteDude, I'm seriously riveted when curling is on. Off topic, but have you seen Men with Brooms? Love that movie! And I find curling amusing to watch on TV. I've even tried it in person - the local curling place has an open house every so often and they teach you the basics. I also really respect a sport where there's a bar in the observation gallery.
