Cut-and-paste is a beautiful thing. :wink:
Rahul: I don’t think us ADD americans could get through a 7 hour cricket match. I think the best sport to watch on TV is ice hockey. It’s also the most blissfully violent sport this side of hurling. :D
Don’t make fun of Baseball…it’s the only sport that matters (besides auto-racing). I was watching NCAA basketball the other day…the last 2 minutes were just penatly shots (SYR vs ND)...then this football game took forever - the simpsons were delayed an hour…that’s a mortal sin.

I used to love baseball. Then the ‘94 strike happened. Rich pricks vs richer pricks denying me the rest of the season was just too much. Nothing I’ve seen has redeemed the sport in my eyes yet.
Better we not get into auto racing. George Carlin and I have very similar ivews on the sport.

Depends on the auto racing…im not into the hillbilly Nascar, CART, or ICR…just formula 1, toca, or similar.

You left out the part about the drugs. Living near Baltimore, the real kicker for me was watching Albert Belle get paid millions per year for doing nothing.

That too. I might actually pick up the upcoming Jose Canseco book just to see if there was anyone who didn’t do roids back then. My guess is Bobby Meacham.
Speaking of which, does anyone want to buy any Jose Canseco or Mark McGwire rookie cards before the book hits? Any Canseco 40/40 Club cards?
Well, personally I love to watch basketball (NBA), and also my favourite is football (i.e. you guys called it ‘soccer’ in the state), as both pace is much much intense! 8) Yeah you are right, the is VERY slow game in american football, as they are using all the ‘video technology’ which slowing down everything! This is why until now the they still now agree to implement the video technology in the football (soccer) which could reduce the excitement and controversial decision (which is interesting)! Anyway, can’t wait for the Champion League to re-start again! :D

Yeah, nobody gets killed over loosing an American football game, I think that’s part of the reason Soccer is more exciting
