Sports you watch?
 

What is your favorite sport to watch with friends and drink beer? What do you put on the widescreen tv when you and your buddies drink? (sport! not movies!)

I am stuck with pretty much one thing: hockey. NHL (Maple Leaf supporter [yeah yeah yeah, I know, Hailey's Comet comes around more often than the Stanley Cup, but who cares...]) or Team Canada (I think the big rinks are a little too big... not enough physical action.)

Football, eh. Don't really appreciate it. Never got into this whole guy-on-guy-on-the-grass thing. Basketball is a little better than golf, but not too much. Baseball is a good second option if hockey ain't available. And I don't don't don't watch curling!!!!

Rugby the main one at the moment.

Surprised you didn't mention motor racing - out of season atm, but I enjoy Formula 1 & whatever CART calls itself these days.

Re: Sports you watch?
 

Rugby (not just the World Cup!), Formula 1, Football (mainly internationals), WRC.
(I battled to get Sky Sports in an all female household - and won! :D )

Re: Sports you watch?
 

Usually American football or baseball. Unfortunately Sky Sports and Channel 5 haven't started using the widescreen broadcasts of these games yet.

Re: Sports you watch?
 

Football, esp Man U. Cricket (all forms, but Tests are best), Rugby, both codes. all Motor Sports, Tennis, Golf, and some Athletics.

Can I be the first person to make the inevitable point that what Americans call Basketball and Baseball, we call netball and rounders, and are played by little girls at school. ;) American 'football' meanwhile, is glorified Rugby, which elsewhere in the world is played by men without the aid of helmets and heavy padding. :D

Seriously tho', I quite like to watch a game of football if I'm in front of a TV on my own, but I don't seem to get anything out of the whole male bonding with beer in front of the big game thing.

Leafs fan here as well (First NHL team i saw live). Also follow the Yankees and the Nascar. NASN definately the best value channel on cable!!

Re: Sports you watch?
 

Mrs towny keeps asking me why I'm so happy lately. I can't think what's changed, I've definitely not been in the drinks cabinet :angel: Maybe it's 'cos we've started talking about moving away from hemel and back closer to family ... it kind of feels like we've been in exile for the last 4 years.

The other thing is, I've been around nthellworld .com/.co.uk for almost a year now and I feel like I know you all (despite missing out on two meet-ups :( ). Time to relax a bit and have some fun!

Sorry, that was waaaaaay off topic...
