ROCHitman Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I've been hooked on tennis since I was 7. IT's GREAT DRAMA......to me anyway.I thought I'd never watchthe CFL but two seasons ago, I caught several games on MSG here in New York and have watched it now and again since.

VandyDelphia Mike Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Poker.The conspiratorial side of me though thinks that the explosion of televised poker is just an attempt by the better players to give more bad players an idea that they could actually be good, thus bumping up participation and potential winnings.

GeneralW91 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Arena Football & Basketball. I used to HATE basketball when I was younger, and Arena Football I hadn't heard of. However when a former ABA owner started the AIFL, that is when I started to get interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Being from the South, normally we have no idea what hockey is. But I remember watching the Dallas-Buffalo Stanley Cup series, and ever since then I've been hooked on PLAYOFF hockey. Don't care for the season that much, but the playoffs in hockey captivate me. So that's the main and only reason why I miss hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Still can't beat curling though! Seriously, it's addictive as crack. You sit down to watch a few minutes of a bunch of people throw stones down a rink, and before you know it, three hours have gone past.Other than that, I'll watch tournament poker when it's on, and wrestling is good from time to time. My boy Cena is da man, btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 FootyRugbyThose were two I didn't have an opinion about until I got fox sports world and fell in love with both of them. Now Fox Sports World will become Fox Soccer Channel. ARGH!Speaking of soccer, that was a sport I absolutly hated in HS. I was a baseball player and there is some kind of rivalry between those sports for some reason. then I became friends with soem female soccer players in college and got hooked on it. I was the teams "superfan" stayed up late to watch the US in the world cup and even played a little indoor soccer my senior year. Imagine a 250lb former offensive lineman playing soccer, and its amusing. I scored goals in my first game (the goalie misplayed a ball and I accidently kicked it in) and my last game (a ball hit my shin gaurd and went in) Both were quite humorous. I got decent at playing defender and passing, but never could kick hard very accurately. Which was suprising cause I used to be able to kick field goals pretty good.

CC97 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Cricket and Rugby -- all I did was learn the rules of both games and I started to enjoy it.Century! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 If you weren't the owner o this forum I would slap you upside the head for using the C-word. Actually, I suppose Cricket can't be all that bad since they let you drink extremely large amounts of Lager in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I think I'd like to watch cricket late nights if it was on. I can't ever find it though. Sure you can buy it on pay-per-view sometimes, but 20 bucks isn't pocket change for me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Still can't beat curling though! Seriously, it's addictive as crack. You sit down to watch a few minutes of a bunch of people throw stones down a rink, and before you know it, three hours have gone past. Yeah, I remember watching the World Curling Championships (or whatever they're called) a few months ago. It was Sweden vs. Germany, I believe. I remember flipping through the channels and being like...curling? what?! Then I started watching it just to see what exactly curling was, and ended up watching the whole rest of the match, which was like 30 minutes.

KCScout76 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Ice Skating or should I say figure skating. Just kidding.Gaelic Football, my relatives in Ireland send us the Gaelic Football games, specifically Kerry (County in Southwest Ireland). It's a soccer, rugby, team hand ball mixed together. Good action on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
