Ergo today’s question:
1. Do you have a favorite sport?
I dig watching baseball. I think that HDTV was invented just to make baseball watching more enjoyable.
In fact, with HDTV, most sports watching becomes quite captivating, although it still hasn’t gotten me hooked on NASCAR or most motor sports.
2. Did you ever play sports in school or as a grown up?
I was the world’s worst wrestler. Our high school had an amazingly successful wrestling team, however I was not part of the amazingness – I was more of a clumsy sparring partner. I quit after my sophmore year.
3. What is the oddest sport you know about?
Curling is on that list as is that odd sport from Kuwait or Dubai (I forget which) – the one where they play polo but instead of using a ball they use a head from a recently killed goat. That is odd.
4. What is the oddest sport you can conceive?
It would involve juggling knives, a unicycle, some sort of timed event and very complex scoring – and maybe even teams. Think of Rugby, with those weird scoring situations that are possible in American football – and then throw in unicycles and knives.
5. Do you have a favorite “Sport” moment.
John Elway and Broncos versus Cleaveland – The Drive – that is the first thing that comes to mind.

3)A little know sport only played at one location in the northern part of Michigan called Roofball
4)It would have to be similar to hockey but with some ice dancing and nudity thrown in then mix take away the skates and put the competitors in high heels. Add a can of easy cheese to each goaltender and one team gets triscuits the other wheat thins… well you get the idea.
5)Ray Bourque raising the Stanley Cup over his head and the gesture of a great captain giving it first to him by Joe Sakic.

3. Competitive cheerleading.
4. A strip obstacle course where each time you fail at something you have to lose an article of clothing.
5. The Avs taking their first cup. I had waited most of my life to see a the NHL come back to Colorado. It was so worth it.

2) Why yes. Baseball, Softball, basketball, handball, racquetball, ulitmate frisbee, skiing, volleyball…I love to play me some sports.

4) Bodily funct-i-thon – Multiple bodily functions in one competition…
5) During the piston cup, when Lightening McQueen helped push Strip “The King” Weather over the finish line so he finished his last race before he retired. Chick Hicks is a dick for not helping.

4. Speed pottery throwing.
5. Nadia Komenic (sp?) getting all of those perfect 10’s in the 1976 olympics.
