I once watched a football game (American football for those of you in
other countries). It has to be the dumbest, stupidest, most boring sport
in history. Oversized steroid-sucking men run around and bash into each
other. 80% of the time is commercials and other BS - with only 20%
devoted to actual play. There is an occasional pass or running play that
catches your attention, but otherwise it is thump-crunch-commercial-
commercial-moron commentators shooting off their mouths-commercial-
commercial-crunch-thump. And to make things worse, 90% of the
commercials are for beer or SUVs and similar things, aimed at the fat
lazy audience who wants to pretend that they have some glamour or
excitement in their lives.

Football, give me a break. Even NASCAR and golf are more interesting.

Let's hope they don't do a 'Brian's Song' when they dedicated the game to
Brian Piccolo then promptly lost.....Let's do it for Reggie (Eagles 10
Raiders 7 when I last looked).

Sorry Peter A... you are wrong! Dead wrong!
Most boring, most stupid 'sport'?
HAS to be synchronised swimming. How they dare to call it a sport I
just don't know.
IMHO only.

Joke: If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do the rest have to?
(might not HAVE to but SHOULD do!)

Some of them wear *some* padding. But they're usually the ones afraid of
getting hurt :-)

If you can ever get your hands on a copy of the '92 State Of Origin
Series between Queensland and New South Wales........ you'll see what a
*real* game of football is!!

Plenty of mud, and blood.

If I can rant on your thought.......what peeves me off to no end is the
$$$$$ that are thrown at high school kids for college 'edgeekayshuns' if
they can throw or hit a ball, a good number of which couldn't spell the name
of the college if they tried, while kids who have worked their butts off
getting decent grades, but weren't the captain of anything remotely
resembling sports are denied assistance outside of loans. They are told
they aren't 'well rounded enough'. The jocks are?!? A girl near me just got
a four year ride to college. When gifted for graduation, she replied 'gramaw
made me rite this not(e), I 'm a jokk so I don't need to study, I'm gonna
major in 'coach'.

I really think that money would have been better spent.
