Favorite Sport ???

[Racoon]

I love sports! They are great metaphors for life, and many Valuable lessons can be learned and applied.
I got an "A" in my Sports Psychology class last semester (tooting my own horn there )
So I would like to "pick your brains" and gleen more input.

March Madness right now!! love it!
Gonzaga vs. UCLA today!
Baseball season approaching fast...Go Mariners!!

To the point: Vote for your favorite sport. (I only have 10 options though)
add comments as to why you like/dislike
experiences you've learned from sports - whether playing, practicing, coaching, from your kids, etc.. etc..

Occasionally watch? sometimes play? Know someone who does?
Maybe you like an obscure sport?

I am NOT putting Bowling or Billiards down as a sport (although technically they are )

I WILL put down NASCAR, because of its Meteoric rise to prominence ( and to appease certain Moderators! )

Me?? I LOVE NFL!!! It is by far, without question Americas #1 Sport...(fact)
I played in High-school, and play pick up games sometimes.
Football is my Sunday Church!

There is TONS of Science in sports - so this IS relevant!

Well, there's no poll. So I'll just say

Baseball.

I like many different sports, but my favourite is CRICKET!! Now I'm just waiting for everyone (especially Boerseun) to say how boring it is, but I love it. If I had the time, I'd watch all five days of a Test match without missing a ball. You've got to love the intricate physics, geometry and statistics involved in this most magnificent of sports.

I have always had a passion for swimming. I see every event that is telecast during the Olypics.

A bit of trivia, Hockey is the favoite sport of Canada, but is not the Official sport of Canada. That honor go to LaCrosse.

Theres also this skinny little asian-looking lady(100 pounds) who can out eat 350 pound linemen!! She "trains" by destroying peoples All-You-Can eat buffets!

What they competively eat can be quite disturbing!
> sticks of butter
> jars of Mayonaise
> Hot Dogs - Kobiashi CRUSHED like 50 w/ Buns in like 5 minutes! He is the Micheal Jordan of Competitive Eating...

I could probably "place" in a BBQ Chicken Wings event!

You obviously didn't grow up in New York... Those are NATHAN's Hot Dogs... that's a totally different beast all together!


What I'd love is a White Castle eat-a-thon... Those little burgers kick much ass!

But they are called "sliders" because of another relationship to the ass. Ohhh! I get a stomache ache remembering the last battle!

Ah.... ye of little intestinal fortitude.

My dad used to take me there and we'd eat about 22 between us. It's a bit of a nostalgia thing I guess.
