Hockey isn't a sport, it is ice-skating, fighting, and playing with a puck. (Hey, blame George Carlin, it was his description.)

The rest are ruined by playing with a round ball. Also, most of them stop for silly reasons like rain or a little blood. Wimps!

professional eating: kobayashi!

i can't believe he might lose the mustard belt this year to some californian kid:(

Ok, first you say hockey isn't a sport...then you say those that are sports are ruined by a little blood.

You OBVIOUSLY don't watch hockey.

I would put all my money on a hockey player over a football player in a cage match any day.

Pro Football (American) - Philadelphia Eagles (in the AFC I like the Chargers)
College Football (American) - Michigan Wolverines
Hockey - Buffalo Sabres

Those are the only two sports I care about, and I have only recently started getting into Hockey. Quite honestly, I checked it out in part because of icepigs and tomphoolery talking constantly about it, and a couple avid hockey fans at work.

But... I do have some teams selected for the other sports should I ever get into them.

Basketball - Portland Trailblazers (picked them way beck when they had Drexler)
Baseball - NY Mets (Derryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden are responsable for me picking these guys)



My biggest problem with most sports is that there are too many games in a season for anything to matter. In Football, every game counts; if you lose three in a row it really hurts. In the other sports, losing three in a row hurts, but it makes up just a fraction of the entire season.

Alright Tom...one down, a few more million to go.

Who's next?



Oh, and DEP - what part of the country to you live in? When I swing by your way, I'll take you to a game...

NE Ohio (fifteen minutes from Youngstown, and the halfway point between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.)

You cranberry!

Read the whole thing.

1. Football is the only sport.

2. Hockey isn't a sport BECAUSE it is really three activities at once, etc. etc. etc.

3. The rest (all the other non-hockey so-called sports) are not sports because... (Please refer to the first point to understand I that when I said they were ruined, I meant their claim to being sports was ruined.)

I didn't say all the rest WERE sports, I said the WERE NOT because the stopped for rain and blood. That was the JOKE!

I know that hockey players don't stop for a bloody nose like the wimps. Why would I include the Hockey joke if the Wimps joke also covered Hockey.

Now you have ruined the joke by being too much of a grape-stomping melon-head and making me explain it!
