OT: ESPN profile on Harry Kane mentions how he was inspired by Brady

Nothing is worse than NBA basketball.

If soccer gave team’s 7 points for every goal Americans would be enthralled by how high scoring it is.

Nothing more exciting than two minutes of dead time for ever 5 seconds of play.

Except baseball. Baseball is the worst. Fight me!!!

At least the games don’t last more than three hours with tv breaks after every piece of action. I love The American version of football, but it can be a pain in the ass to watch sometimes. Which is why I either watch Patriot games because I have a rooting interest or the red zone.

Yeah... I think I'd rather watch commercials. If I wanted that level if physical comedy, I could also watch re-runs of "The Three Stooges." They do it much better. What a brutally awful sport.

Captain America hates Tom Brady.

Breaking news!!!

You heard it here first.

I just read about it. I have plenty of friends, good friends, that I differ with politically. But I would never think about cutting ties with them. But this is Hollywood. Many of those people would absolutely bomb the Wonderlic, and would get scores that make Lamar Jackson’s look like the stuff of genius. You can’t expect them to be big thinkers. That said, Captain America sounds like he’s got some pent-up frustration. Perhaps a visit to Orchids of Asia is in order?

Isn't there a rule about posting chit from ESPN?

Like I said, it's physical comedy. That's about the only thing the sport is good for. Having said that, I’d rather get my physical comedy from other sources...





Anyway, I'll go ahead and bow out so the thread can stop being derailed.

I hate the flopping and diving as well, and I have been saying years that they should review every game for it and suspend playersfor upcoming games at game check cost, that would end it as players won't give up serious money just to dive, and the same would go for the NBA.

As far as action goes I'll take sports, like hockey and soccer over situational games, like baseball and football. And while I'm still really invested in the Patriots I hate the direction the game is going in. As far as scoring goes the lat Super Bowl was really 2- .5', as inflated scoring makes football look higher scoring than it actually is.

I'm fine with people not liking soccer,, to each their own, but the idea that it sucks because they don't like it is really bogus.

OP, thanks for sharing.... one finds ones inspiration in different places...

KontradictioN said:

No, from many POVs, that’s true. Highly boring sport where flopping is even worse than the NBA, which is really saying something. A world that enjoys soccer more than any other sport is a world that has **** taste.

Really? You wouldn't think it was freaking awesome that the WORLD CUP was being played in your yard? You'd probably get paid millions of dollars for it. Man, Jaguars fans are an odd breed.

I just find soccer so boring to watch. I would rather stab myself repeatedly with a hot knife.

Oddly enough, I have a blast playing it

I used to love to watch the NBA. It has become unwatchable now due to every team copying the style of the Golden State Warriors. There’s really no more game planning as every team plays to launch 3’s and nobody plays defense.

Guess @Les archambeau doesn’t like jokes on what is otherwise a very serious thread.

There is only one sport other than hockey, and that is football

A couple of things:

1. Flopping didn't start in American football.
2. Flopping isn't anywhere near the problem in American football that it is in soccer.
