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.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

Used to be a big college football fan, but the current state of it (particularly the seemingly unregulated transfer portal) makes it less enticing at least to me (hard to root for my favorite team whe

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.

Was a good game but I just like watching Nathan Cleary play. He is such a good player! I remember the old Melbourne Storm team when they had Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater
