What's your favourite sport and why?

**CryoDragoon** · 02-14-2006 01:37 PM

Badminton... because it is fun???

**A Lost Soul** · 02-14-2006 02:00 PM

Martial arts, because it’s challenging. It’s about the physical, mental, and spiritual.

**Neruo** · 02-14-2006 02:24 PM

I like to shoot defenceless bunnies from 2 miles away using a .50 kaliber sniper rifle, while being in a comoflaged bunker with music and airco.

I think it's the only Real man sport.

Spectator sports: NASCAR, with the NBA a close second.

Participation sports: Currently I play league darts. I used to be a avid bowler, but haven't done that in several years. I also like to shoot hoops when I have the chance, but I'm horribly out of shape for that.

**InTheMoment** · 02-14-2006 03:19 PM

Billiards - I play on 3 different league teams (APA) and play casually about 2-3 hours each day.

Poker - I play online a couple of hours each night, play in live games on 2 different nights and local tournaments about twice a month.

Wrestling - I'm too old and out of shape to compete any more, so during the high school season, I help asst. coach at a local high school.

I don't care if ESPN broadcasts it, poker is not a "sport".

Cricket, cricket and cricket

In India, Cricket is a religion and Sachin is our god.

Cricket is the unofficial national sport of India, and its development has been closely tied up with the history of the country, mirroring many of the political and cultural developments around issues such as race, caste, religion and nationality. Though cricket is indubitably the most popular sport in India, it is not the nation's national sport (a distinction held by field hockey).[/b]

Now the India-Pakistan series going on. It is a war. I(we) dont go to college if there is a cricket match in TV.

My new avatar is a cricket player. The rising star "Mahendra Singh Dhoni". I also made a signature. But I hate large images as signature.

Some shots from yesterday's game.

"Eat cricket, Sleep cricket, Drink only Coca Cola". That was the ad when coca cola came to India.

Cricket is not only a sport, It is an art.

To watch: Hockey

GO LEAFS GO!

We're going to kick American ass (and Czech, Swede, Finn and Russian ass) at the Olympics too. To be honest, the Americans aren't even very good competition this year.

To play: Golf

There's no better feeling in the world than hitting a drive and watching it sail right down the middle of the fairway.

I can't think of anything more depressing than hitting a ball with a stick, and then going to look for it

Then you've clearly never tried it, or aren't very good at it. 8)

Robin Williams has a bit about golf too, it's pretty funny.

**TygrHawk** · 02-14-2006 08:43 PM

I have always liked Mark Twain's observation, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

**bradybaker** · 02-14-2006 08:55 PM

This really says it all.

My thoughts exactly. I never used to pay any attention to cricket, and then came last year's Ashes series... I actually watched it/listened to it on the radio enough to learn how it worked and now I am HOOKED. Cricket is less of a sport, more of a battle, there's so many different influences on the game - the pitch, who wins the toss, the humidity, whether there's rain or not... ah I'm in love with it.

Hope India gives England a right old thrashing, Korothism... should wipe the smiles off their faces lol. I'd love to go watch a match in India... when you listen to cricket on the radio you can hear the crowds cheering all day every day, even if it's a dot ball haha, must be an amazing atmosphere there.

As for a sport to play, it'd by far have to be Aussie Rules Footy, I never played it until my last year of school, but wish I'd picked it up earlier. Great fun just running around, not a bad sport to watch either.

Ofcourse...... England will be thrashed and I expect a wash off series. There is the prayer of 100 crore people behind the Indian team.

And Australia. What to say about them. No words are enough. How you people got this much talent ? Its really amazing. The Aussies are the great in cricket currently. The great cricket players from all other country united to make a world XI and tried to beat Australia. But no gain. Australian team's sportsmanship is highly remarkable.

But Australia.. Be prepared. India is a great team now under the coaching of Greg Chappell(Former Australian Cricketer). The young tigers of Indian team can compete with Aussies. I am eagerly waiting to see an Aus-Ind match.

And do you know that The Indian cricket team is the highest paid (in terms of sponsorships) sports team in the world.

Whoa, no I didn't know that. I guess that because so many people love cricket in India, sponsoring the team would be a fery lucrative advertising avenue there huh?

Yeah I'm pretty amazed at the amount of fresh talent coming through at the moment, although it remains to be seen if we can produce another McGrath or Warne... there's certainly enough young players keen to fill their shoes, so we'll see.

I'm looking forward to when we play India next, it will be a great battle. Every time Aus and India play it is a great battle... and I think the two teams have a lot of respect for one another, which is always great. When do Aus and India play next, do you know?

Thats a fact everyone is looking at. What Australia will be after 2007 because Warne and McGrath will not be in the team. Can Aussies compensate them with young talents ?

I think the next match will be the World cup 2007 final. Before that Australia have to play with South Africa, Bangladesh and then is the Ashes 2006-07. And what I am looking at is the Australia-Bangladesh Match. Lots of records are going to be broken. Loads and loads of runs will be scored by Aussies.
