  1. Hey! Let's talk about things that you enjoy the most as well as annoy you about a sport or sporting activity..


    It can be about the players, rules, mechanics, traditions, fans..


    Here're are some samples to get started!


    Golf:

    Cool: When you hit that great shot/putt.. A whole day of misery can be wiped away by that coming together of a beauty that you have athletically mastered on that little ball


    Sucks: Players who go looking for a ball and hold up the course.. C'mon! If you can't drive good, don't use a Titleist!






    Pro Basketball:

    Cool: The Feint, The Alley-Oop, The Rim Rattling Slam, The SkyHook, the buzzer beater half court shots


    Sucks:The last 5 minutes of the game taking 20 minutes, Hack-a-Shaq, please don't bring back short shorts..





    Synchronized Swimming:

    Cool: Legs!


    Sucks: Omg.. Those nose plugs are SO weird looking






    Ladies Tennis:

    Cool: Following the bouncing balls..


    Sucks: The ladies grunting when the whole stadium is quiet.. Awkward!


    Less posey.. Moar bouncey!



    NASCAR:

    Cool: Three car wide side by side racing, Massive crashes, 250,000 drunk rednecks


    Sucks: Left turns only ( Can't they atleast go the other way after the caution flag or something?)





    Amateur BOWLING (10 pin):

    Cool: The power strike, The split spare


    Sucks: When your ball doesn't make it to the pins (no not even gutter ball.. It's when ur ball stops midway)..

    If you're gonna eat nachos and bowl, atleast clean the ball before you put it back!,

    Players who need every kind of ball..
    (OK.. I understand 2.. The "Strike" ball versus a more control oriented ball for precision spares.. But 5!?)



    Great form!



    Soccer:

    Cool: Bicycle kick..




    Sucks: What else.. Diving..





    Poker:

    Cool: All in push, Playing your nut flop to the river, Stacking your chips high!


    Sucks: Hoodies AND Sunglasses.. Are you THAT afraid to show your face?

    Being SO close to other players who are not well known for their hygiene




    Share your likes and dislikes!!! ️
     
  2. I got a "full house" downstairs when I saw her poker face
     
  3. Disclaimer:

    Playing your nut flop to the river is an actual poker term..

    ️
     
  4. Figure skating!!!!

    Sucks: Canadian whine

     
  5. When people think soccer is not physical at all (it is)
     
  6. Hockey:

    Cool: pure awesomeness in every way

    Sucks: when the game ends
     
  7. Ahhh.. Ice Hockey..

    Cool: Real fights, frozen pound/lake/river hockey in the great outdoors, Boarding, Hat tricks where actual hats get tossed into the rink, oh and Lord Stanley's Cup..




    Sucks: Icing, Southern American States where they don't even get snow winning Stanley Cups..

    Bitter.. No.. Not at all,,
     
  8. Genuine question, how are NASCAR and Poker sports?
     
  9. NASCAR is more of a religion than a sport..

    Poker.. Well poker is probably as close as playing the devil's game on this earth this side of planting yarrow on the crossroads and waiting till midnight..
     
  10. Peeve:
    the fair catch in the NFL.
    A dead ball play is boring.
    Try the CFL 5 yd halo.
    MLB batters taking forever getting in the box.

    Luv:
    March Madness cuz the best amateur sport event on the planet.
    Stanley cup playoffs the best pro sport playoffs on the planet.
    The 19th hole is always a fine place.
    World Cup cuz its the global winner.
