General Sports Discussion (Be Warned!)

[LivO]

Bah - who cares?

[Mack]

What time is it? Thats right.....Its March Madness Time.

Who are your picks for the final four and to win it all. Right now I have Duke, Gonzaga, UNC, and Ohio with UNC winning all of it. But thats just the rough draft.

[Medesha]

OILERS! OILERS!

Ohmigod, we're going to the playoffs! I can't believe it! We're gonna win!

[Loozer]

Go Oilers!!! Stanley cup, here we come!!!

Next year, the Canucks will make it to the final to complete the triple crown of western canadian teams making it to the final!

And as for other sports I cheer for:

Go Nicky Hayden!

Go BC Lions!

(ok, most people probably won't know who those last two are...)

[LivO]

So . . . I guess I should be rooting for the Hurricanes or something.

Go . . . um . . . Carolina . . . yay.

I really wouldn´t say that around Medesha at the moment . On the other hand, if the Oilers win the Cup with Dwayne Roloson at the back I will eat my (metaphorical) hat.

This is the problem with living in Spain at the moment. At least in England they´ve actually heard of hockey.

Ah well, the world cup starts soon. Then I shall be happy.

[Medesha]

Holy Rolli, what a goalie! :biggrin:

I have faith that Dwayne is going to be the backbone that carries us to the cup. Man, that metaphor sucked. Uh, Rolli is going to be our yellow brick road? Rolli is going to be the guy that holds our hair out of our faces while we lean over the toilet because we drank too much beer?

Something like that.

Could you a least pretend to be excited? There are many sports deprived people in New York who haven't seen a decent team since the Patriots last visited. They'd kill to have a team in a final. Heck they'd probabyly trade the Knicks and the Jets for the Hurricanes right now.

(Myth) Olivia's conscience: Be more excited!
LivO: No.

If I said Avery Johnson....would anyone know what I'm talking about?

How about D Wade? The Diesel? Dirk? Flip? The Matrix? Mr. Big Shot? Guaran-Sheed?

[Big Evil]

Paintball is the best fun sport.
Proffessional Wrestling is the most entertaining sport.
Boxing is the most entertaining sport if it has to be "real". (Which is pretty lame cause the storyline may be fake but the pain is actually real for wrestlers.)

[tarbrush]

Or, more accurately, Not-Garun-Sheed. Yes, I like basketball too. More so recently due the pro wrestling subplots (people going into the stands to prevent their own wives assualting other fans. You can´t make that stuff up.)

[AngryIrish]

This is for us Americans.

Is anyone else P.O'ed that they're trying to turn soccer into America's new pastime? Anyone see that commercial where they have the tune for Take Me out to the Ballgame playing over a montage of soccer clips? Soccer will never be big in the US and they should pretty much stop trying. The NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL will always and forever be bigger than soccer in the US.

As for the playoffs. Go Canes!! I root American. What the heck is an Oiler anyway? I predict a 4 game sweep by the Canes.
