Why? Do we not have a thread for almost every sport?

I just did it for random funI would love to see a fight with Cookiecutter Red Sox vs THIACN Yankees.

He can't come back. He is on the cover of Madden. Which means he will have a career ending injury and be forced to retire.

IF ONLY THAT HAD HAPPENED

Those were the days.

Hey remember a few months ago when the Yankees won the World Series? That was cool. Especially living as close to Philly as I do.

 

[Badbird]

I wonder why you weren't here a few months ago to talk about that?How are Philly fans?

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Yeah I considered coming back then but I... didn't. No real reason.

Phillies fans are weird. They have this bizarre combination of cynicism and arrogance. Like, they simultaneously want Ryan Howard to be given early entry to the HOF and taken back behind CBP and shot.

I've been repressing this memory. I can barely remember anything that happened in the 09 season at this point.

Can't wait for both of you when I make my MLB thread.

John Madden protected him.

Do any of you people think ESPN is bias?

[Badbird]

Why? Is it the least "metal" sport?

No NASCAR is.

 

[Badbird]

Yeah not many people around here follow basketball.

So does anyone here bowl or like to watch bowling?

 

[Badbird]

I like to bowl.I don't watch it.

 

[Caecius]

I bowl but not competitively. I don't watch it.

 

[Srontgorrth]

It's on ESPN every Sunday and watching the pro's is pretty cool. I just got a new ball and shoes and went bowling yesterday but I couldn't get a hang of it very well (especially since I was ending on the wrong foot and that had a rubber sole which screwed me up). Finally in the last frame I managed to hook the ball in the way the pro's do and it was pretty awesome.

 

[Matt]

I used to bowl competitively, and could have been pretty good if I had stuck with it. I think my highest score was around 190ish. It's somewhat interesting to watch but not all that engaging for me.

 

[Srontgorrth]

That's pretty damn good, my highest so far is only 139, but hopefully once I get used to my shoes and hooking a ball it'll get better.
