The Superbowl

[mahler10th]

Steelers touchdown with only 7:34 on the clock.  Now 25 - 28 to the Packers.  I am on the edge of my....er...computer seat.

[mahler10th]

I hope the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra are ready to celebrate.

You probably are.

Yes, I am. Don't worry I'm in a 12 step program.

[Gurn Blanston]

Yes, I am. Don't worry I'm in a 12 step program.

Start light, something like tennis...

Yes, good game that!  Looked like Pittsburgh was gonig to come back there, but in the end Green Bay had the stuff.

Now playing:
The Quintetto Fauré di Roma - Fauré Op 089 Quintet #1 in D for Piano & Strings 2nd mvmt - Adagio

See? Spotted you out.   I watch Wimbledon every year, but that's about it. Even sports that I am not wildly exuberant about I will watch when the very best are playing it. It is appreciation of something done at a very high level. Doesn't matter so much what it is as how it's done.

I only like women's tennis. As far as basketball, the last game I watched was Bulls (w/ M. Jordan) were playing against Utah Jazz (Malone, Stockton). These were some intense games to behold.

[mahler10th]

Aye, and the GREEN BAY PACKERS won the Superbowl chaps.  F*$£ tennis!

[Bulldog]

I've never understood the American fascination with sports.

You don't think it's a global fascination?

I don't know if it is or not. I can only speak from the United States. Perhaps you are much better equipped at answering your own question.

I love tennis. I can appreciate the skill. As far as football, I can appreciate the strategy behind it, but I think tennis is much more demanding on the players.

The women's game is dreadful compared to the mens...

But I like women's tennis!

Since the Raiders won't be in contention until Kimi becomes a mother, I probably won't follow American Football for quite some time. Besides, the only active player I remember watching play football was Carson Palmer and that was at SC.

We now watch sports that Kimi likes, which are: women's tennis (Kimi and MI have something in common!) and .... snooker.

[Bulldog]

I don't know if it is or not. I can only speak from the United States. Perhaps you are much better equipped at answering your own question.

Must be, so I'll say that sports is a global fascination that far exceeds the appeal of the arts.

The women's game is dreadful compared to the mens...

I don't know if it still so, but I found women's tennis more interesting to watch.  In men's tennis it degenerated into a dual of serves.  It all seemed to be dominated by who got more aces, and less double faults.  In women's tennis, for whatever reason, the servers never surpassed the point where the opponent couldn't return the ball, and so they would actually managed to hit the ball back and forth a few times.  More strategy involved.

If you want to see some tough and sexy women play American football, check out the Lingerie Football League - much more interesting than womens' tennis.
