Don't wanna watch Obama on every channel tomorrow night?

[Drem]

well-said

baseball's got a better human element. it just gets so Fing intense sometimes

[Tikker]

baseball is intense the way watching paint dry is intense

[Drem]

hahahaha you guys have obviously never seen a good game of baseball

[Harrison]

It's probably because he doesn't understand the game mechanics worth a shit. So it's "boring" to him.

I used to think baseball was boring as fuck to watch until I learned an assload about it when I was younger. I was always more of a football kind of kid, seeing as I played it a lot.

If you guys think Basketball isn't a game of strategy then, sadly, you don't know a thing about it either.

Baseball is a hobby, like chess. It's cute that you guys like it but really it's about as athletic as shuffle board.

I understand baseball thanks. It's not complicated at all. There is no deep layer to it that I’m missing. Fat man throws ball. Fat man hits ball. Fat man pretends to run but really he just kinda waddles around because he's so doped up on roids he weighs 300lbs.

Did I miss any of the subtlety?

[Evermore]

hmm lets sum up basketball

skinny dope fiend runs down court like a police dog is chasing him where another skinny dope fiend tries to steal the ball like he would steal a wallet. If sucessful, the 2nd doper then proceeds to run down the court like there is a crack dealer with a fresh crack rock waiting for him. If not successful the 1st doper tries to put the "rock" in a hoop kinda like packing a crack pipe. Now if either are good at this they get large contracts and get to push grape drink and Newports on the less fortunate dope heads.

EDIT: I forgot, they also get to push taiwanese made horribly over-priced and down right ugly sneakers that the dopers can shoot each other over


I get it right?

yes.

since this is a stupid argument, how about this resolution: i will admit to knowing fuck-all about basketball if you will admit to knowing fuck-all about baseball. obviously we both feel very strongly that our respective favorite sports have great depth, strategy, and excitement, and clearly neither of us is capable of that same appreciation regarding the other's favorite sport due to a perceived lack of those same qualities. now agree to disagree, you fucking asswipe.


edit: lol evermore

[Tossica]

Baseball AND basketball = *yawn*

Football I can tolerate if the Vikings are playing

The only sports I can watch regularly are boxing and MMA.

[Harrison]

Yeah, MMA has completely taken a hold on me. That is almost NEVER boring at any point.

The people who say MMA is boring don't know anything about grappling or the ground game in general.

[leah]

i don't like watching baseball or basketball, either--they're both pretty monotonous to me. mostly i'm a football gal . . . college football, specifically--pro football is kind of irritating. /shrug

Hi Brinstar

Thank you for taking Internet so serious.

You have made this thread fun.

PS: No one says asswipe anymore.

[ClakarEQ]

Fuck you all, HOCKEY is where it's at and how could you Candians claim basketball of all things /laugh

[Zanchief]

Fuck you all, HOCKEY is where it's at and how could you Candians claim basketball of all things /laugh

I like Hockey...in the playoffs.

[Drem]

i don't get the whole fat baseball player stereotype. i haven't seen one of those in a long, long time except a couple pitchers and manny ramirez. the dudes in baseball look like they'd fuck basketball players up. specially when they got their playoff beards a growin'. GRRRR MOTHERFUCKER

PS nice nod to boxing. i thought i was the only one that still cared. MMA i don't like tho. dunno why. it's just dirtier. not as classy

football i like watching injuries but i'd rather watch rugby

REAL football = awesome

i don't really pick favorites as far as what sports i watch. it's all competition /shrug. i could get just as excited about a televised game of tric-trac

I get it right?

absolutely.... which is why i stopped watching basketball around 1996

and yeah college football is the most entertaining to me

MMA is great, there's only so much dry-humping i can stand though

[leah]

yeah i don't really get the fat baseball player thing either. they all look pretty nice to me! granted i don't watch much baseball AT ALL, but from what i've seen, i wouldn't consider any of 'em fat, and they have to be able to run pretty damn fast to get to first base before the ball, am i right?

[Harrison]

Lol as I said, he just doesn't understand the mechanics of the game.

I know both games and I giggled a bit when he said basketball was a game of strategy moreso than baseball.

[Drem]

Basketball has never made me go "wow, that was impressive" except michael jordan etc

[Diekan]

Yeah Pro.... it's like they don't really care one way or the other if they win. They get paid the same at "end of the week" regardless... nothing at all like college.

[Drem]

oh totally . they bust ass in college. NFL games are never that intense. did you see that guy from Houston break his shin in half on some cart out of bounds when he ran out for a catch? god that was fucked up and disturbing

[Trielelvan]

Fuck you all, HOCKEY is where it's at and how could you Candians claim basketball of all things /laugh

Clakar wins! LET'S GO DETROIT!!!!! REDWINGS RULE BABY! (... and honorable mention to the Wild).

[Arlos]

Red Wings??? RED WINGS??? BAH! How can you like a team named after oral sex at the wrong time of the month?

Go Sharks! Should be a good game tonight, I'm looking forward to the sharks winning going away tonight....

-Arlos

[ClakarEQ]

sheeet, the sharks, please, lets see how the games go and we'll take this to the sports forum. I agree that the wings have been only so-so, not really on their a-game but still, they're not doing "bad" either

e-hug to Triel, thanks

[Tuggan]

the wings are going to get smoked tonight.
