It has to rank way up there with golf and soccer as
among the dullest sports to watch.

Want to fall asleep? Watch the Tour de France on ESPN.

You're right...it is VS. Whatever the hell that is. I only know it as

Indeed. I, too, derive no pleasure from vicarious experiences. If I am
not *experiencing* it, my ADD kicks in. I still love a game of pick-up
football, but I have no interest in *watching* somebody else play.
Ditto any other experiences or sports that interest me.......

Harry, I know you only too well..... I see your hand waving about like
a hand towel in a hurricane and I hear your agitated voice a la Arnold
Horshack. No, I will *not* comment on XXX movies.



Heheh. I only comment on the ones in which I starred. :}

There are very few spectator sports that hold my attention. I'll
watching fishing shows, but I don't watch the "competitive" ones.
I do go to baseball games up at Baltimore from time to time, because I
like baseball, I really like that stadium, and because Baltimore is one
of my favorite small cities because of the waterfront and all the great
restaurants around the city.

Some years ago, never mind how many, I went with my wife and her dad and
his wife to a Florida State football game in Tallahassee. Her dad is an
FSU grad and a rabid fan. We had great seats. FSU was the #1 team in the
country that year. The entire experience - the stadium, the noise, the
pageantry, the spectators- was a great experience. I didn't really watch
the game.

I can't beleive you call racin' boring, but watch baseball? Huh, kind
of like soccer, a moment or two
Anyway, me and mrs JW are sitting here laughing like crazy, I was
looking for racing and found probably the silliest sport in history.
At least the participants are taking it as un-seriously as it
deserves. I am watching the National Rock, Scissors, Paper
competition, Or at least I was, by the time I finished (excuse me
while I change the channel) typing this it just got too silly, as
bogus as baseball, without the steriods...

As far as NASCAR - I like the big speedways - go fast and turn left.

I'm not a big fan of small track racing except for Bristol which is a

You're right...it is VS. Whatever the hell that is. I only know it as
the weekend fishing channel. Now I understand why the quality stuff has
been replaced by bike racing, hockey playoffs, and the rest of the crapola

We get it. You don't like sports. You got the crap kicked out of you

Talk about boring. I was watching a sports news thing, and they ran
about 20 seconds of b-roll of the girls US soccer team, The headline
of that clip was the team "almost" making a
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal !!

Soccer is extreme tension, competition, and excitement, and 89 1/2
minutes of total boredom ;)

I can't believe nobody's mentioned golf yet. And it was on three of our
six broadcast channels yesterday afternoon.

I mentioned golf. Or at least I think I did. Great game for those who
like it, good exercise if you walk the course, but boring as watching
paint dry to watch.

I think that would be an overstatement. Golf is as boring as already
dried paint. And although soccer is boring, I would still consider it
a sport, golf, er, no. Unless of course you play it like that Tiger
Woods guy, he's an athelete. Maybe he should try playing sports ! ;)

Small tracks are more fun. Went to Rockingham in the 1980's. Still one of
the most fun sports experiences ever. Was a happening. Exciting racing as
well as great people watching. I used to race SCCA B-production Vette and
was not much of a spectator, but NASCAR at the Southern tracks are fun.
