Love and Hate Sports ...

Okay, so I’ve mentioned before that I’m a pretty big sports fan.  But, some people might wonder what sports I love and what sports I don’t give a crap about.  So I thought I’d list them here for you.


Sports I don’t give a rip about…

- Any pre-season exhibition pro sporting events.
- Any women’s team sporting events except curling.
- MMA
- UFC
- Regular season NHL games until the final 2 weeks.
- The Pro Bowl
- NHL All Star Game
- Any of the events surrounding the NBA All Star Game, except the game itself.  Which I love.
- Cycling
- Any Olympic sport other than during the Olympics except curling.
- Any auto race except for the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500.
- Golf except for The Masters, U.S. Open & British Open
- Men's and Women's tennis unless Venus Williams, Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova are playing.
- College basketball regular season.
- College baseball except the College World Series.
- Soccer.  Other than the English Premiere League and The World Cup.
- All the "not really sports" like lacross, bowling, volleyball and stuff like that.
- Any discussions about steroids, player’s salaries being too high or athletes being “out of control.”  And the sports columnists and pundits who are always morally outraged by these stories that obviously nobody gives a shit about.


What I do love...

- College Football
- The NFL
- The NBA and the NBA All-Star Game.
- The Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament
- The NHL playoffs
- Major League Baseball, but not like I used to.
- Sports groupies. 
- Cheerleading (it’s a sport)

He was one of my all-time favorites who was also in four of my all-time favorite moves, “Giant,” “Easy Rider,” “Hoosiers” and “Apocalypse Now.”
