I played sports and was in bands in high school. Though maybe if I had been more comitted to one pursuit I would have played a better sport than track and a better instrument than bass guitar.

Professional wrestlers as in WWF, Dick the Bruiser, etc?

I imagine an 82-yard TD pass in the first play of overtime doesn't help either, eh?

I kid. I'm with you, actually...lazy sportscasters = crap.

(But really, that TD pass was awesome.)

Holy crap... that's great.

Enjoying sports for whatever reason: Not crap
Not enjoying sports for whatever reason: Not crap
Continuing to make negative comments on an internet thread about sports after you've already voiced your opinion: Mega crap

I bet you actually intended to post a "skorts" C/NC.

i have been known to watch some college football (not a lot), and usually catch the super bowl for kicks. i love baseball (well the yankees) and just got my very first 59fifty ball cap (actually first hat of any kind ever). yankees spring training is really fun. love watching soccer (regularly) even shitty u.s. college soccer, but mostly premiership. i like watching people play basketball at the gym and hear the shit talk.

not crap. i would have voted crap up until i was about 21 probably because i am very nonathletic and was turned off by the average football fan; but now i am far away from high school and don't mind anymore.
