Other - Sports - September 2007

Sports figures with unsportsmanlike behavior seem to dominate our playing fields. From cruel activities off the field (Vick) to questions about steroids and other drugs (Bonds) it has gotten to the point where even the trophies are not valued.

Give your opinion of the poll on the record-breaking home run ball. http://www.vote756.com/marcecko/

At first, I wanted to have it go to Cooperstown with an asterisk, but I decided that wasn't enough.

Yes, I voted for outer space.

I am looking for something that is played during the cold months and beyond.
The sport should be more exciting than golf, more social than hunting, and cause more exertion than curling.

I currently enjoy triathlons and lifting weights.

If I don't get a better idea, it is going to be Krav Maga.

I'm joining the British Army. Does anyone have any training tips for me??

I have been to the careers office and they say i need to be able to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes. Do at least one pull up/heave and need to be able to do push ups. Any tips?

Also, is there anywhere i can find a training friend, as all my friends are really girly and wont train with me to help me out.

x x x

Thanks in advance.

We don't sing the national anthem in any other place, so why do we do it before every sporting event? I'm not against it, just wondering

CORRUPTION in professional sports is here to stay. MLB, NFL, NBA, Boxing, MMA What’s next?

The list goes on:

MLB: Barry Bonds is still being accused of using an enhanced drug.
NFL: Patriots, now come on, spying on your opponents, not very patriotic.
NBA: Tim Donaghy refereeing on games he was betting on.
Boxing: There has always been a bad image for boxing and corruption.
MMA: UFC 75 fight between Michael Bisping and Matt Hamill as a victory for Bisping

I didn’t ever want to believe that there was someone behind professional sports pulling the strings, but now I believe otherwise. The facts are in front of us everyday.

Where there is money, there will be corruption. It is sad.

I guess after a few beers and the event starts it really doesn’t matter.

In my high school the only electives that were available were tennis and softball..I chose softball because I hate tennis..the problem is that I didn't even knew what softball was. I never heard of it...I'm afraid of going to the class and being stuck with a bunch girls. Plus they won't let me change it cause I already changed it 2 times!....do mostly girls play softball?..is it a girl sport?..If it is SH.IT i wanna change it...but my couselour will gat pissed off at me, he chnged my schdule 2 times already..last time he was a bit pissed.

Why isn’t there a “mute” feature where we can listen to ONLY the crowd and field mics? Do we have to have anymore GREAT games ruined by three or four announcers talking out their rears for four straight hours? (Joe Morgan, Steve Phillips, Joe Buck, Tim McCarver I’m looking in your direction.) They can’t all be Marv Albert, why can’t we have the option to tune them out? Who’s with me?

I think we all have them, teams we hate so much we love to see them lose.

Perhaps they are your team's big conference nemesis. Perhaps they aren't in your team's conference, but you hate them for some quirky little reason all your own. lol

Whatever the reason, please share your teams, along with why.

Let that venom out! lol

Thanks, sports fans.
