No one wants to watch people make left turns

There were about 110k of us at Daytona in February that did. Not many football games draw that size crowd.

And, the Olive Garden usually has a 45 minute wait on Saturday night.

I enjoy a few other events such as Wimbledon and sometimes the Open championships in the US and UK. Not sure if Golf really counts though, but I find it an interestingly difficult game.

Yep. When millionaire baseball players went on strike to make more money for playing a non-contact sport, I lost interest. Started watching the homerun chase, but then they were all a bunch of cheaters.

Have you seen sammy sosa lately? Hes white now.

In desperation, I watched one of a three-on-three half court games between retired NBA players. It was actually entertaining because they still wanted to win. I guess their competitive drive is never completely extinguished.

The drought is nearly over. Pro football starts Thursday (albeit exhibition games) and the Tiger football season begins in 34 days or so. 04-rock

If those new football leagues were smart this would be time to be at least in mid season about to start the playoffs. Instead they want to start right after the NFL season when nobody will care.
