Favorite sport not t&f.............

[pv22']

For me its boxing.

[MJD]

Not sports per se but events-Tour De France and World Chess Championships. Anybody else here follow the Spassky-Fischer championship? Great stuff.

[Jon]

Huh? There are other sports outside T&F??

What was that? There's life outside T&F??!

Someone tell me it's not true....!!

[tafnut]

There's lots of us here that know that the only other sport worth following is SOCCER aka 'real' football.

[dukehjsteve]

Golf, both to play and watch.

[MJD]

You're kidding, right? I will read about the World Cup but that is it.

As a spectator ...

1. Sumo wrestling
2. Boxing
3. Cycling

You can rest assured that I get VERY few opportunities to catch Sumo on the tube.

Almost as rare is an evenly-matched boxing match. Those seem to have gone the way of the dodo some 20 years ago, though I do catch the occasional terrific fight, though they are rare indeed. Classic Boxing on ESPN2 is 'bout as close as I come nowadays.

I'm lucky enough to get the CBC channel living in close proximity to the Canadian border. As a result, I get to catch the very occasional track cycling event. They don't show any of that in the states. That's the best. Up until a couple of years back, OLN carried full coverage of the Giro di Italia and the Vuelta de Espana as well as some of the one-day classics on the road. These were terrific! During the bulk of the Lance era, the TDF was pretty much a yawner so I mostly skipped it. Maybe now that he's left the building it'll be much more interesting (if we get any coverage at all).

And, of course, T & F remainis my favorite sport. But as a spectator it's live or nuthini' fer me. That crappy coverage on TV is worse than havin' none.

As a participant - cycling and lots of it.

cross country. does this count?


ok seriously, favorite? not fair, there are so many great sports and i love em almost 1/2 as much as doz guz and gals rounding round in circles.

not in order-


golf- maybe the hardest sport to truely master, the best in the world on a bad day are clowns.

football- to a lot of people just giant men falling down. not true! a human chess match.

f1 racing- the best drivers in the world in the fastest cars in the world going so fast its not to be believed.

nascar- i know what your thinking, hillbillies in stockcars dont amout to a hill of beans. WRONG!

boxing-when its good there's nothin better, when its bad there's nothin worse.

tennis! ice skating! gymnastics! ect ect.



ok, all things considered the greatest 3 hours of sport, becides track, ive had in my life is watching joe montana and my niners come back and win the super bowl!! :lol:

[cullman]

I'll watch almost anything including the America's Cup yacht races, NASCAR, syncro swimming, equestrian, competitive eating, etc . The one exception is tennis. I try...but I don't last more than ten minutes before dozing off.

[SQUACKEE]

you may have noticed i did not mention bowling or fencing. how about a great horse race everybody! worlds strongest man. even bodybuilding as a freak show.

[donley2]

Basketball. Dang aren't there any basketball fans around here. I personally consider golf about as much a sport as bowling and possibly less so than table tennis.

[big mac]

Easy one for me here, this....







Then afterwards you get to watch this...



What's not to like?

[slowcoach]

There's lots of us here that know that the only other sport worth following is 'real' football.

From someone who was brought up in a Soccer culture.

P.S. I also like cycling, swimming, Chess, Brazil and Argentina playing Soccer...
