Everyone gets so excited by Wimbledon, but I can’t stand to watch it. The crowds are boring, the commentary is boring, the winning points by ace services are boring, and it lasts way too long. The only upside is some of the ladies players are nice to look at. I give you Camilla Giorgi. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And absolutely nothing in sport beats the Ryder Cup for entertainment value. The Miracle at Medinah is still the best sporting event I've ever witnessed. Really hard to overstate how wrong you are here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enjoy the golf from Thursday to Sunday every week. I double checked my memory and can confirm that's right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Two that may have been mentioned but want to put them out there: All hot drinks are awful. Pizza is overrated (unless its the authentic Italian kind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hot drinks one is a bit weird, but I agree pizza is well overrated. I think that subject has been covered extensively on here already though.

BOF Posted June 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2021 I guess pizza could be over-rated. Doesn't mean it can't still be absolutely fantastic too. Over-rated doesn't mean bad. It just means they're making it out to be something it's not. All these artisan stonebake pizza places popping up all over the place (where I live anyway) and charging eye watering prices for a bit of dough and passata with a few crispy burnt bits. It's delicious, but it's not gourmet lads. So I'll say it as a pizza fan, pizza is a bit over-rated, but I think that's because they want to justify the prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 My fave sport is Soccer but I feel I must stick up for baseball here.I played centrefield for Marist and scored a total of 2 home runs ( both against Henderson Bears ) the thing is that the game is good ( not great but good ) Obviously to enjoy it you must know what is going on. To watch,or take part in a double play is fantastic and with all the pinch hitters and different type of pitches etc the game is far from booring. The game I cant understand is Basketball.One team scores then both teams run to the other end and score then rinse and repeat.FFS there is NO midfield ?! Why dont they just use one set of goalposts and save a lot of running around ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game I cant understand is Basketball.One team scores then both teams run to the other end and score then rinse and repeat.FFS there is NO midfield ?! Why dont they just use one set of goalposts and save a lot of running around ? I am retired from baseball now, having only played a single game but still having a legendary reputation locally. I was fielding (is that the term?) and somebody on the other team struck a really sweet shot, like, professional. It was clearly coming my way but massively too high for me to catch. So I sort of did a token effort of jogging backward with my hand in the air, so people could see i tried but it was pointless. My team were screaming at me to catch it, which was ridiculous I can’t jump that high and I’d have to sprint like an Olympian to get back far enough for the descent back to earth. So I jogged backwards, hand aloft. The strike had been so good, it had bust the ball and there was a comet trail of twine. This twine got tangled in my fingers, which caused the ball to swing around in a giant majestic arc and circle back to the palm of my hand. Caught. From any sort of distance, you couldn’t see the twine. All the team saw was the ball go over my head, me put my hand up, and the ball return back to me. The Jesus of the diamond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
