The finality of it all is depressing

[DaveinMD]

Today was the last football game until August. That's a long time. And none of those games will count until September. That really sucks. Thank god pitchers and catchers report in ten days.

[Forkboy]

1. I barely care about baseball until June.

From now until then it's all NHL, baby.

[Broken_Hero]

25. Ditto, except for a pinch of March Madness, :) nt

[El Supremo]

2. Anybody been watching the Caribbean World Series?

I haven't.

[DaveinMD]

3. watched a little

but its not too exciting as I know very few of the players. Watching Band of Brothers for the 1000th time instead. Bastogne episode.

[El Supremo]

4. Nuts!

[Awsi Dooger]

5. Pitchers and catchers don't exist

Golf has been underway for a month and the greatest sporting event on the planet begins in five days.

[DaveinMD]

6. golf?

I'd rather watch paint dry. The Olympics are the novelty event at this point. I'll watch some Hockey and Speed Skating. Not interested in much else.

7. Golf isn't a sport

It's an excuse for elitists, sexists and racists to get together and dress up in goofy outfits. Then get drunk afterwards at the clubhouse.

8. Get back to us when you can hit a 2 iron within 6 feet of the cup.

[trumad]

9. He can't

hence his disdain for the game.

[wilt the stilt]

11. Get back to us when you can hit a 2 iron n/t

[trumad]

12. .

[Forkboy]

26. I can. Can you?

:shrug:

27. The Two Iron

It was a blustery day, rain on and off. Two old buddies were in the 12th fairway, about 220 yards from the pin. Both had hit spectacular drives, and were laying pretty. The first buddy takes his 3 wood and rolls his ball onto the front edge of the green. So, he's on in two, putting for Eagle. The second buddy pulls his 2 iron out of his bag, hits it thin, and his ball slices through the trees onto the 8th fairway. At that moment, the klaxon horn blows announcing suspension of play due to lightning in the area. As buddy #1 is heading for the cart, buddy #2 runs to the middle of the fairway with his 2 iron held high over his head, pointing straight up.

Buddy #1: What the FUCK are you doing?

Buddy #2: I can't hit this fucking club, let's see if God can!

[PVnRT]

10. I see. You're a fuckwit.

I guess broad brushing is a core liberal value, eh, moron?

[GOPisEvil]

28. You have proven that you don't know shit about golf.

You have also proven that you are a stereotyping halfwit.

For the record, I am neither sexist, nor racist. Goofy outfits are in the eye of the beholder. And if being an elitist means not hanging out with idiots like you, then I am guilty. The part about getting drunk afterwards, however is only partially true. Most of the time I just go home and take a shower.

13. March Madness!

Thank God that's coming up soon...it's a dull time of the year when you don't care for pro basketball much and what's that other sport, the one that has ONE fan (Forkboy)?????

[DaveinMD]

14. by the time March Madness starts

Spring Training will be in full effect. There is nothing to fill that gap right now and it sucks.

[joeybee12]

15. True, for the next month, the fans of only ONE team get to rewatch

the highlights reel over and over. I'm glad the Saints won, but it's not like I want to care about it still in a week.

[Auggie]

16. It's a good time to catch up on things around the house

and address mundane tasks -- like taxes -- I've been putting off.

And I get to spend quality weekends with Mrs. Auggie again.

[trumad]

17. I find a cave and sleep until September.

[joeybee12]

18. Oh Lord, did you just open yourself up with that one!

Naw, it's too easy.

[DaveinMD]

19. I don't do home projects

that's what Jeeves is for. And my accountant can do the taxes. I will give the wife control of the remote for a while.

[Auggie]

20. You have a Jeeves?

I'm jealous

[DaveinMD]

21. its a home projects company

not a butler. My business isn't doing that well.

[Auggie]

22. Sorry to hear that

My billings have been down for years

[DaveinMD]

23. I am having a good year

just not enough to hire a butler. As a Democrat, if I ever had that much money it would be going to charity.

[JonLP24]

24. Yes it's a long way

but I enjoy other sports to fill my team specifically Basketball(pro-college). I'm also starting to enjoy NHL for the first time ever. Also I enjoy college baseball and pro baseball.
