Couldn`t think of a title, anyway post any sporting stuff in here regardless of whether its to do with baseball, footy, table tennis etc. Or just tell us what sports you watch. Just watched World Championship Darts on tv, all Dutch final, Barney v 21 year old Jelle Karrsen(or something like that). Awesome final, Barney was going for a record equaling 5 titles. Was best of 13 sets and Jelle won 7-5 with a 101 finish.

The next worthwhile sporting event isn't until the Daytona 500.  Then its the Players Championship, then the Masters, then the NHL playoffs.  Until then, who cares?

Do you watch F1 Goose? Of what ive seen of American racing it`s kinda boring to watch, going round an oval circuit for 200 laps. Where`s the mixture? What`s the Player`s Championship? We only get so much cross-atlantic sports shown over here so im a bit rusty on certain sports:) .

I don't like F1 as much.  Its boring for me.  Sure the tracks are more complex and all, but theres not as much passing, and its not as cool.

The players championship is the first big PGA golf tournament of the year.  Not a major, but a big one.  Fun to watch.

Yeah F1 rules keep changing and sometimes they change for the worse. Hopefully they should be bringing in new rules so that there will be more passing. Nothing better when you get a good scrap going on, and people overtaking. Personally i prefer to watch TOCA racing, more exciting and there`s hell of a lot more contact. I watch golf occasionally when it`s on, last golf i watched was when Jack Nicholson(think that`s him) retired, and Tiger Woods won.

Jack NicholSON is a hollywood actor who's won 3 academy awards for acting.  ('83 Terms of Endearment, '97 As Good as it Gets, and something else I forget.)

Jack NickLAUS is a retired golfer.  The tournament he retired and Woods won was the 2005 British Open, last July.


Hockey>Golf>NASCAR>Curling>The rest

Although "games" arguably not sports like billiards, darts, and poker are fun to watch too, although I don't follow them.

Scrabble does indeed pwn.  I must agree there.  If you ever look at a Scrabble dictionary, so many strange words are acceptable.  I wouldn't be surprised if PWN will be in there soon, if it isn't there already.


edit - no, I checked just now, its not there.

Curling is an interesting sport. I don't hate it. I like the bar sport renditions of it better, but I really think it's interesting!

american football shouldnt be called 'football'. americans stole the term. and why is it even called football? you hardly even play the ball with your feet. and the ball isnt even a ball. a ball is round. an american football is like oval or something.

Why do they call it ballroom dancing? You're not dancing in a room with balls. Many questions to be answered. But if you're spending more time questioning the name football than enjoying the sport, I suggest you get your priorities straight ;)

Canadians aren't allowed to take SATs. They might become free thinkers that way.

I took SHATs.  They were very relieving.
