Would tea-bagging be involved?

Shit, I didn't know what teabagging was until I looked it up on google!

Ugh, my bf tried to teabag me the other night! I was ready to kick his ass!!!

I like sports, but I don't like events where guys stand around in tight pants and don't do anything for a long time and accidentally run every once in a while.

What, you didn't enjoy Riverdance?

HOCKEY RULES!!! - HE SHOOTS HE SCORES!!!
Now that is a sport that requires incredible physical strength, stamina and knowledge. Try running front and backwards on skates while trying to anticipate and manouver a puck at the same time and the is DA BEST!

Hockey is a SPORT!

IceNine said:

YAY HOCKEY
Our Red Wings are doing pretty good again this year

Ok IF we are going to talk hockey...


BRUINS KICK ASS!!!

CarrieLee said:

Although the RedWings are my favorite team, let's not forget about the Dallas Stars!

football is about strength. it's about one team knocking the other team simple. in tv games, the players do stand around because of commercials time outs,etc...

but what exciting about it to me is that it's about strategy. how is one team going to score on the other when they have a worthless quaterback (redskins! )

it's a human chess game with muscular men in tight pants trying to score. if that isn't exciting, i don't know what is!

NO OTHER TEAM MATTERS EXCEPT FOR THE RED WINGS (well, the Toronto Maple Leafs too )

applekisses said:

Look at that list you posted again...we ain't on top for nouthin!

CarrieLee said:

I know, babe, but you're in a different conference. Detroit is on top for the Western Conference (why we're in the Western conference I'll never know.)
It'll all come down to the finals.

But we're REALLY on top, on top!

I was waiting for a fellow Brit to hijack this thread!

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." - Danny Blanchflower

thank u thank u thank u I must say, Leaf Fans are THE MOST DEDICATED - whenever we win a game in the playoffs, the city practically shuts down with the streets full of leaf fans - we are so desperate to win the cup however, for Curtis Josephs sake, I hope Detroit wins this year

IceNine said:

3 hours on average. The variables are time outs for instant replay, injuries, clock stopping because of incomplete passes, etc.


A football game is one hour, 60 minutes of playing time spread over two halves of 30 minutes.


By UNDERSTANDING the game and realizing the talent and skill involved.

lashious said:

YAY!
We Detroit and Toronto fans are always hand-in-hand I would LOVE to see you guys win a cup. It's been way too long and it's really a shame to see all of the expansion teams taking the cup away from the original six.
I'll say a prayer for you guys
It should have been Wings vs. Leafs in the finals last season. That would have been AMAZING!

@this whole thread

That's why I watch pro-wrestling, it's way more entertaining
than football to me, that's why it's called sports entertainmnet.

Ice get some friends together and actually TRY to play the game.You may see it is more work than you think.I used to get exhausted when i played.You can't get everything from a book.Some things you just gotta do.

4LOVE said:

The post was simply made in jest... it was facetious... a joke... a goof... for fun... etc.

Don't take it too seriously, my friend.

I don't actually have strong feelings about football in any way.

IceNine said:

I know,but when you come out negative on a sport you know nothing about.I had to defend the sport i love.I know you don't like football because it is one of the few topics you don't post in.And downtalking the sport may decrease the number of topics about football from those who worry about coming off cool.As for me i like what i like.

4LOVE said:

I would hope that this topic doesn't stop anyone from posting about football... I never post on the football topics and I leave them alone. I have never wrecked a football topic yet and I was just having fun here.

I am sorry if this one offended you.
