I like F1 too but it used to be a lot more competitive years ago.

 

Yep.  Really getting bored watching Max run away from the field.  Most exciting part of the race is usually the first lap.  I feel like qualifying mostly determines the outcome.  Was going to go to the F1 race in Miami until I saw the CRAZY ticket prices.  Decided I'd stay home and for the same money by a huge 85" TV for the same price and watch the race and have something worthwhile after.

Aussie Rules football or Rugby league. Yes i know they aren’t ‘Merican.. But I am !! 

 

Years ago I watched Aussie Rules football because it was one of the only "interesting" programs on early on a weekend morning.  Quit watching because I never figured out the rules.

 

Will say we visited Australia once about 10 years ago to visit a friend of my wife's.  Most of our time was spent around Sydney and a day trip to the Blue Mountains. A beautiful place and would love to go back, but the trip there from south Florida is horrible.  

 

May be going back next year for a wedding.  Brisbane next time.

I remember when ESPN was just starting out, the used to show Australian Rules Football games overnight.  That was definitely a rugged sport, sort of a mix between rugby, soccer, and American style football complete with a goal judge dressed in a white coat.

Yes they did broadcast it a long time ago. Its a very fast moving game with great ball handling skills and extreme fitness required.  No “ prepared” plays to run … just get the ball at  the center bounce and move it  down the playing field  to score a goal. Repeat. 4 quarters of 25 mins each .. 18 a side ..  a very small number of extra players for each side .. so its full on from the first whistle to the last. Love it !

I agree. I also lost faith in F1 regarding how they implement rules especially after what happened with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in 2021.
