Who else is tired of these sports threads?

<Raises hand>

Talk about reposts...All Ive seen all day were tennis and baseball threads. They may be off topic but so what?

if you don't like them, don't read them. or just go away

It keeps the "Should I put a bigger exhaust tip on my Civic?" threads to a minimum.

Who else is tired of these NEF threads?

Seriously, it's all fair game here. I get annoyed at some topics, but, it's the way it works. When it really bothers me I know I've been hangin' out here too long and go away.

I agree wholeheartedly. I've never really been big into sports. I mean, if all the guys are gonna get together to drink brew and watch a football game, I can get into that. More for the cammradierre (sp?) than anything else. I will bet $5, maybe $10, just to keep my interest up, but I don't understand these guys that monitor every frickin' thing about a particular athletes life.

"Did you read SportsDumbAssDaily Today? Barry Bonds wears an XXXXXL steel-reinforced jockstrap! My God, no wonder he crushes 'em into the upper deck!! And other idiotic things to that effect.

I'm not saying it's uncool to be into sports; far from it. I think it's uncool to let it run your life. Most of the guys I work with are like that. They read the morning papers' sport section to get yesterdays opinion on Player X or Team Z, then, they watch the ESPN pregame show to get some old washed up guy from the 60's opinion, then they watch the game, then they watch the post-game show to hear some other washed up dude from the 70's talk about what Team X did right and what Team Z did wrong. Wait a minute; didn't you just watch the same game these guys did? What are they gonna tell you that you don't know? Your team won/lost. End game. Then, at 0600, the whole cycle starts all over again.

Just to confuse everyone, I'm glad NFL season is starting. Why? Because football is "A man's thing" I can get a kitchen pass to go watch the game with the guys. No GF/Wife around to break ballz. Watch it because it's fun, not because you live and breathe it. Barry Bonds makes $45 million a year. He could care less that I like him or don't. He gets paid either way. The days of professional athletes giving a darn about the little kid that spent his last five bucks to get a seat in the nosebleed section are long gone. These guys are overpaid and waaaaaaaaaaay underworked.

EDIT:
LOL@Rastus!

I agree with you on most points. Football is the only watchable sport in my opinion...huge guys pummeling each other to grab a ball.
In fact, I don't hate playing sports...I actually love them. I just hate sitting around and watching some guy swing a stick at a ball that he'll hit if he gets lucky. I would much rather play baseball or any other sport for that matter.

BTW, is there a professional Dodgeball league? Thatd be the day my purpose in life is realized.

you've gotta remember, most of these guys would get Anand's autograph Bonds' dead body.
