Sports Post

We're getting into a slower period for sports right now.  Football is off in the distance.  Basketball and Hockey just ended.  The World Cup is soccer.  There's Wimbledon, where Greg will once again try to hoist a large platter to proclaim his dominance of grass.  And Baseball is mid-season. 

With not all that much going on, I thought I would post a favorite team/player post.  Dodgers/Giants aside, there are probably some interesting favorite teams out there, and here's an opportunity to post them in the comment section.

Nate added some interesting thoughts--if despicable can be thought of as interesting. But let's go with favorite TV sporting events: World Series, Indy 500, NCAA Basketball tournament, College Bowl month, Super Bowl, World Baseball Classic, British Open (when Claude Vandervlede loses), Olympics (minus any event with judges and scores from 0-10).

nate how can you hate the olympics? its how sports all got started. i hate the stupid way they are televised i only wanna watch the sports and teams i like and who cares about all the side stories, if your really interested in it google it. keep sports about sports!

bob costas said...

in his prime, Boris Becker would have beat Greg easily

The Fed Grr Grrr said...

Boris, I would never say that I am better than you, but I do have to say everyone downgrades me because sometimes I make it look so easy. Sure you guys had some great plays, whereas I usually just play perfectly.

Cheers mate! Im Swedish!

The Nate said...

Mike I hate how over hyped the stupid olympics are! from the stupid outrageously overboard opening ceremonies, to the stupid coverage, and the stupid side stories. Plus the sports for the most part are pretty boring to watch. Just not a fan my friend lol. Mark, I like your top ten NOT teams! Especially Bill Belachik! haha. Uncle Darrel I thought my thoughts were pretty enlightning haha. I think marks top two teams to hate were a pretty despicable choice! :) Oh and I take Greg in Tennis over everyone..... EVERYONE BUT MY BOY BJORG!! haha

mark said...

here's my take on the olympics -- it's a great idea, but the tv coverage is ruining it. We all know the results hours before it's shown, since they can't seem to show it live. They also focus in too much on a few athletes. Just because Michael Phelps is a great swimmer, it doesn't mean he's the greatest athlete ever. And I could not care less about a skier named lindsay who didn't even win a medal.
on a positive note I love to watch Usain Bolt run,

darrel said...

To all you Giant fans out there, I say NO!! It's too late, you cannot switch and become Dodger fans on the verge of a sweep. You made your choice.

the nate said...

Terrible Terrible sweep! Giants need some offensive aggresivness! They need Lincicum to yell something from the mound at the dodgers before the first pitch! Something like "THIS IS SPAAAAARRRTTAAAAA" maybe that could have thrown off the dodgers lol. Still a sad sad sweep! And We will NEVER change! GOOO GIANTS haha

mark said...

If the Giants were in the American League they would probably destroy the Dodgers. Thank goodness the Dodgers were able to finish interleague play.
MLB needs to quit playing these crazy series, or at least cut it down to one rival series per year and that's it.
