That is terrific. There wouldn't be too many of those! Is he a convert from gridiron, for which I don't blame him. Boring!

It wouldn't be a bad game if they didn't have a committee meeting after every play

[Rosella]

I don't mind a bit of boxing myself, as a spectator!
Gridiron,Yes, boring and slooow!

As for the Lions, speaking as someone who was a Fitzroy supporter when I first settled in Melbourne, better that the club continued on in watered down form in Queensland than disappear altogether. However, only my daughter supports the Brisbane Lions now. The rest of the family moved on to Richmond.

I dont think Gridiron was his game, boxing is his number one. But give me a break the Lions

Hey we have 2 wins this season so far ( 12 other games we won’t mention)!!

I am not a convert from American football, which I enjoy, but not as much as Footy... American football can be VERY boring....I came into AFL many many years ago when a very young cable network called ESPN played games from around the world that were cheap to buy the rights to in America ( ESPN was not always a MAJOR force in sports) AFL use to run at around the 2 or 3 AM hours.. and I worked a second shift so it was prime time for me....anyway.. I started watching this fast, crazy hard hitting game.. and fell in love... it took me a few years to understand it....but the more I learned the more I loved...now it is my 3rd favorite sport... As GUT said, Boxing is my #1 (and the sport I spent many years working in), Baseball is my second love... I grew up with it.. it was ingrained in me at a young age... and now Footy... GO LIONS... and yes my boys are gonna be tasting that wooden spoon... but wasn't that long ago they won 3 in a row.. and almost a 4th!!! of course Leigh Matthews was king then.....that's what we need now...

On a sad Footy note : all my thoughts are with the loved ones and fans of Adelaide's Phil Walsh... such a tragic story....from a sporting note I am glad his last game was a victory (even if it was over my LIONS!!).

now bring on Sydney!!!

All sports can get a bit boring Steadmund. This includes my beloved baseball. But I find American football fascinating - it is the only game I can think of as a kind of "civilized rules" type of war game.

I noticed this guy won the men's event, so there must be ladies doing this - presumably the diet version.

Have you ever watched Rugby League, not Rugby Union, most of my American friends who have particularly live, go away shaking their heads at the organised ferocity, without all the protective gear.

Nope, I never have seen it. I was surprised (about six years ago) that in a large field about a mile and a half from my home in Flushing (Queens), they were playing cricket. In the changing demographics of the area more Caribbean African immigrants moved into the are, and they brought the game. Quite genteel certainly, but it requires real patience to watch. Also I needed a deck chair and a scone and did not have any.

Yep Cricket teaches patience and preferably a few days without rain, whoever invented it as an English game was sure an optimist.

Shaw said that the English, not being very spiritual, invented cricket in order to understand eternity.

Sounds right.

But what am I doing at the moment? Watching it. Ali just reached 50.

[Steadmund Brand]

I have tried and tried watching cricket.. but just will never understand it....

the only crickets I care about are the ones who backed up Buddy Holly!!!
