My two cents, and that is really all it is worth, on Bonds and baseball in General..

[texas1928]

BORING.


Is it football season yet?


:P
















:hide:

[Burma Jones]

1. Game 7 of the World Series would get fewer viewers than a good regular season NFL Game

[texas1928]

2. I am not surprised

Everytime I try and watch a World Series game, it goes into extra innings.

[Flaxbee]

3. how about, all sporting events are boring as hell to watch

on TV.

The only time the games are any fun at all is if you're in the stands, and then who the hell cares if it's pro or college or any other reasonably decent competitors?

I think the hoopla and money involved in pro sports, and all the idiocy and blatant tribalism about college competitions, is pure, utter bullshit.

Now, I really must go :hide: even though I stand by everything I've said.

[ruiner4u]

4. agree with ya...

no need to hide

[texas1928]

14. Never.

I can watch football all day long on TV. And my wife an verify, I am not boring when I watch that. I get into the games. Maybe because at one time I was a player, and remember the rush. I had fun playing.

[Flaxbee]

23. I used to participate in equestrian events...

and so I can understand a bit what you're saying, but I just don't like to watch - I'd rather be doing. If I can't actually be riding, I'd rather be out hiking, or reading, or cooking, or whatever.

I certainly understand the pleasure of relaxing in front of a good program, but all day? Every weekend, as it seems football interminably takes up every channel all winter long? :shrug:

To each his own, certainly, but so many people just sit around and watch life, rather than do.

Now I'll climb down off my sanctimonious-asshole soapbox.

[texas1928]

24. Well, I can not play any more.

So, I have to live vicariously. I don't watch all, but some days, Saturdays are my down day to recover from the week.

[madinmaryland]

5. Yep!! Dallas is on tonight against Indy.

:hi:

[texas1928]

9. GO INDY!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

17. You're from Texas rooting for Indy,

and I'm from MD rooting for Dallas.

Go Figure!

:hi:

[texas1928]

20. And I live in Lubbock...

and root for A&M

[IndianaJones]

6. this is true. nt.

[texas1928]

12. It is very true...

I have been told to see baseball in person, but if I watch it on TV. I get bored too fast. It's like taking me fishing, if they are biting I am fine, but if they are not, I am chucking rocks in the river before long.

[IndianaJones]

13. football completely dominates all other sports in fan interest and popularity. nt.

[Maestro]

7. Football season is even more boring......

Let's just get real humans without all the drugs on the field.

[texas1928]

10. That is why I watch college.

Less bull, and more spirit. Pro Football are all about profit, no one is there to take chances. College they play because they want too.

[Maestro]

26. Point taken. -nt

[TZ]

8. Judging by all the replies

to my love em or hate em Dallas thread, I think a lot of people (including me) are good and ready for football season. Looking forward to kicking some Cowboy butt soon!!:evilgrin: (are you listening madinmaryland?)

[texas1928]

11. Oh I am marking the days off the calendar...

Can not wait for College season to start.

[Miss Marmelstein]

15. And by football......

you mean 'soccer' don't you?

The ONLY game worth watching!

:hide:

Hey, texy, how you doing?

:loveya:

[texas1928]

16. OOOOOO

No tweaks for you.



GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR




Soccer is a girls game. If you wear shorts to play it, it ain't a sport.



:P




Hey Miss M,

How you doing? I am fine just wishing it was Friday, since I have a three day weekend. I have already put in 6 hours of over time this week. I am tired.

[Miss Marmelstein]

18. Hmmmmmmmm......

So...basketball is not a sport? They wear shorts. :spank:

Fine....I'll get tweaked by Quatro! He's a better tweaker than you anyway!
JK :evilgrin:


Enjoy your 3 day weekend....I'm sure you deserve it. You work too hard as it is. :toast:

We are in Naxos, Greece right now so I'm heading to bed soon. As jr says...we are on 'opposite time' now.

:bounce: :bounce:

[texas1928]

19. Yes Quatro has all the fun.

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE...


Have fun in Greece. Have a good night.















































OK just one TWEAK!!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Ah, the non-stop excitement of Mer'kin football

The game begins: Dude kicks off. Maybe another dude catches it and runs a few feet with it, or maybe he doesn't catch it and they start at the 20 after three minutes of commercials. Either way, the quarterback then hands the ball to another dude and he runs a few feet, or he throws it to another dude who might catch it, unless he doesn't.

Thirty seconds go by. Repeat above.

Another 30 seconds go by. Repeat above.

Another 30 seconds go by. Punt.

After another three minutes of commercials, repeat all of the above but in the other direction.









The excitement is so overwhelming I can scarcely contain myself.

[texas1928]

22. 9 innings of

swing and a miss. *YAWN


Pitcher looking for his sign JUST THROW THE GOD DAMN BALL!!


*YAWN


Dude, you have chucked it at the guy on first 5 times now, what makes you think the 10 more times is going to work?


*YAWN

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. 'JUST THROW THE GOD DAMN BALL!!'

DON'T HUDDLE!! WHY YOU NEED TO CALL A PLAY?? JUST HIKE THE FUCKIN' BALL!!

:P

[texas1928]

28. Why does that dude over next to third base keep wiping the dirt off...

And grabbing his crotch, is he that dirty? His uniform looks clean to me. Must be a twitch or OCD.

[TZ]

25. You could always become a cricket fan...

I have it on good authority( a 30 minute monologue from an aussie friend) that its much more exciting than either american football or baseball!:rofl:
