Ok, I need a new sport for the time being any suggestions?

You see Baseball is my favorite sport followed closely by American Football, but that doesn't really start for a month and a half.

And my Red Sox are horrible. They won't make the playoffs I know and they have a great team. Oh well.

What do you guys follow? Any Sox fans feelin my pain? No Yankees talk please. My girlfriend is a fan so I have that discussion daily...

My old roommate plays Quake. Cha0ticz i think is the spelling. It gets old. I'd like to see some melee games make it to main stream. I hate the whole learn the map shoot the rail get the points style of play.

Congrats on the new job btw.

WUSA Soccer ... Hot women running around in short shorts with "unintentional" physical contact ... it's to die for

But really though, NCAA football will start in just a week now, so cool your jets cosine, you'll get your American football fix soon enough.

Football(Soccer) sucks in the US. We have one league for men and another for women and they both suck. I think MLS is gonna go under. I used to play but I stopped when I got to college. Stopped caring too because there's no fever over here for it, like there is everywhere else!

sigh.:-\

Sox fan!! Dissappointed but, not surprised....they always crap out near the end of the summer!

My favorite sport though is Hockey, lets hope the Bruins can step it up this year and play a lot better then last year.

I like football and baseball....I dont enjoy basketball at all.

Re: The bruins man, they didn't inspire me at all this off season. No major acquizitions and more loss than gain.

Sigh, hockey is going down any ways, **** collective bargining is gonna cause a lock out which will drop the sport to the level of curling.

Hey - Curling is HUGE in Canada ....

But I agree ... the NHL can't take a lockout. The sport will be destroyed, maybe for good.

I would say golf or basketball are my favorites, followed very closely by baseball and hockey and then football. Basically I like most all sports :)

Pick up Basketball ifyou are looking for something to play for the time being, it's great outside!

Jubba, sorry you have to cheer for the Mets. i dont see how a world series team can go to last place in like 4 years.

Baseball and NFL football all the way. i only watch the nba during playoffs, but baseball and football its year round. plus i play baseball, and couldnt live without it.

Well that's how it is with us Jaz ... We don't understand rugby or cricket - hey, I'm even baffled by it!

You know what REALLY blows my mind? HURLING! Is it lacrosse, is it rugby, is it "soccer" ... what is it?! It looks like every sport known to man all wrapped up into one!!

Isn't that the sport with brooms and ice and that's kind of like shuffle board, no wait I'm thinking of curling.

BadMagick

yeah dude ... Curling has the ice and brooms and all. They ripped off the Italian game of Bocce Ball.

But Hurling, they have these strange, goofy looking flat-headed sticks they use like a baseball bat kinda, with a soccer net that has huge uprights, and a goalie. I think if you hit the ball into the net you get 2 points, and 1 for putting it between the uprights. It's a goofy looking sport!

College football starts in 9 days. Best sport on the face of the earth (yes, even better than badmitton and frisbee). Watch that.

I couldn't agree more! NCAA football is the best. The rivalries, the upsets, the emotion .... there's nothing like it!

Go with lacrosse dude! You get to knock people around as much as you want with a metal stick. It is everything soccer, baseball, and football ain't! Just make sure you can run a lot.... up and down the field at full sprint for 1 hour and 15 minutes about
