That's not very motivating.

Remember the World League of American Football? Montreal had a team named the Machine. The Montreal Machine.

I am going to sleep NOW just so it'll be world cup friday.

soccer is the best.

Okay, that is one awful list. I guess I woulda picked Bobcats.

that is awful. Chill would have been excellent. The one good thing about the NBA is the names are mostly void of stupid generic animal references. Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Lakers, Bullets, 76ers, Maverics, Super Sonics, Pistons etc.. pretty cool

The Huskies was the proper name for the Toronto NBA franchise BTW.



Don't know how they fucked it up. So simple and obviously correct: Huskies. What are they actually called again? The Toronto Just Sayin' ??

Meanwhile Milos Raonic not starting off well against Federer in his Wimbledon semi. Lost the first 2 sets.

Djokovich waiting to play the winner. Safe to say most of the tennis world would prefer the Djoko/Fed final.

Hey might as well call it a fix. I have seen sports fans make fix claims on WAY skimpier notions than that.



So there it is then: fix.


:muddy:

Looks like Raonic still needs a lot of work to get to the next step.

Time for Joey Chestnut to eat 60+ hot dogs.

 

[Saulty]

I don't think I ate 60 hot dogs in my lifetime.

Djokovich and Federer tied at 1 set apiece in the Wimbledon final.

Go tennis.

Fokking efficient shit though, the use of replay at Wimbledon. Bada-bing, bada-boom --> indisputable result.

Seems like only a small step to expanding the use of it and getting rid of line judges altogether.

Also got me wondering why they aren't using the technology for balls and strikes in baseball more fully. It's already being used on broadcasts. No reason it can't be made official. Instant result - no more mistakes.

Start fokken tomorrow.

So what sport will we watch after the World Cup..?

 

[roguejuror]

England domestic cricket.

 

[Mudcat]

Baseball and the ongoing massive collapse of the Blue Jays.

 

[Matty]

England domestic cricket.

I'm game. Have probably watched something like 50 matches during lunchtime at the pub.

Would love to figure out the rules someday.

 

[roguejuror]

It's not complicated at all.
