I also endorse the wisdom of the Scandinavian gentleman, and on this issue I join as a disciple of the Tribble. Basketball, especially the NBA, can take its rigged game, crooked refs, and municipal shakedown racket and stick it all where the sun don't shine. Or failing that, Oklahoma.

Starlord Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 20 years ago I would've said Hockey. It's just hard for me to follow frankly. Soccer would be 2nd. However, baseball is just SO boring now. Everything about the game is just so badly done currently. It has gone downhill for many years. Bye baseball. Soccer is probably my favorite of those 4 now.

Bazza Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Agree with Old Man as there is only one type of hockey and it ain’t played on ice, but grass (and other similar surfaces). plus: Soccer can stay because it is British. assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small fast moving black dot against a blindingly white surface doesn't work for my light-sensitive eyes. I loathe professional basketball. Used to like college basketball back in the 80's before they put in a shot clock and a three point line. I enjoy that's there's some artistry in soccer but it's not really my thing. Pro baseball is fine. I'd watch more of it but I'd have to pay extra for endless sports channels. And frankly I can watch something else or read a book cheaper. As for chicken, I've had good fried chicken at each of KFC, Church's, and Popeyes at least once. But not the other which shall remain nameless....

unclevlad Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 So basketball has to take its crooked refs and go, but you're not denouncing soccer, the World Cup, the antics at the Africa Cup??? OK, I think no one seriously believes it's as corrupt as the Olympics, but that's damnation by faint praise. I get as much baseball as I want with just MLB Network....in part because, as was noted, so few games really have any action. By and large there's a couple midweek, late moring to early afternoon games, which is nice when you're a professional lazy bum. That said, I get oversaturated by football and basketball as well. It's only in the last few years where I can follow a puck at all, so yeah, I know where Archer's coming from there. The resolution's improved quite a bit. And there's a lot of potential action in hockey. So let's throw em all out and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I think no one seriously believes it's as corrupt as the Olympics, but that's damnation by faint praise. International soccer is certainly corrupt. No contest there. I don't think MLS is corrupt at that level. My opinion of the NBA is what it is after the forced hijacking of the Supersonics to Okie City, and an earlier segment of my diatribe against the NBA described that I would approve of the NBA returning to Seattle once the commissioner at the time -- who actively and directly sneered at the city during the hijacking process -- was having his mutilated corpse's eyes pecked out by crows as it dangled from a tree in Pioneer Square here. I still feel this way, though the crows would probably not be interested in his exhumed body's eyes any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I’ll fight under your banner. As a kid I always put too much sugar on my cereal. So my mom agreed to switch me to Frosted Flakes, I had sweetened cereal and she knew I wouldn’t put any more on. I’ve loved them ever since. I don’t like any of the others.

I used to sugar my cereal as well, to the point where there would be undissolved sugar at the bottom of the bowl when I was done And then I would eat that too. Today I find the idea repulsive. I wonder where the custom originated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I find the idea repulsive. I wonder where the custom originated. I enjoy the History Channel program “The Foods that Made America” it’s about the people who developed the modern foods and started the companies that make the foods we take for granted. According to that, when Kellogg and Post were developing their first cereals it was as more of a health food than a breakfast treat and tasted pretty horrible. It was after Kellogg’s brother sued him for the rights to the company that sugar was added to make it more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
