I went hockey cause it's the only thing I still play often. It makes a sport more enjoyable to play if you're good so I took hockey over golf

I have never actually played that, nor has anyone over here. Seems kinda weird as everyone is into soccer.

Sound like alot of fun though. I'll fly over to the States once and we'll have a big pick-up basketball/baseball/kickball game. :p

It's baseball except you use a rubber ball instead of a baseball, you roll it on the ground instead of throwing it, and you kick it instead of hitting it with a bat. Everything else is pretty much the same. Also, to get someone out you can chuck the ball at them along the baselines.

I distinctly recall the impact against a tree sounding much like a small explosion, and it sure looked like one. As stated, we ain't right where I come from. :thumbleft:

Favre got that stuck in my head.

So no one actually got any serious injurys from that 'sport'? I can imagine about double the amount of brain damage coming out of that town.

Good one on the classmates, lol.

It is extremely difficult to determine if any or all of the participants in the sport I mentioned incurred brain trauma as a result of their form of recreation, as they didn't start out with a full deck, even prior to their first race. I suspect that a large percentage of these gents wound up in NASCAR, which only reinforces my pre-conceived notions, including one Matt Kenseth, who I distinctly heard bragging about not having to contend with any trees at Daytona. I believe him to be a local boy, and on that note I will rest my case on the whole issue.

Football is pretty fun to play. My friends and I only play wrap up tackles or two hand tag, since we don't have any padding and most people play for fun, not to break a rib.
