wait, you're trying to say baseball and golf are challenging sports?

you want a challenge? play football, matter of fact play quarterback, see if you can read defense, scramble if you have too then get the shit knocked out of you by a
300 pound linebacker or a 350 pound lineman, then line up and do it again

i don't like baseball because, because there's only about 10 minutes of action through out the whole game
as for golf, it has to be the dumbest sport ever invented, think about it your hitting a ball 300 yards with a crooked stick, my take on it? if you find the goddamn thing you win, go home

I'm an American male but have zero interest in football.

Love baseball though. While slow moving, it has so much depth and history.

I'm not saying that being a pro quarterback is easy, but I think you may be underestimating the talent required to stand in the batter's box with an angry 7' tall pitcher throwing a small white ball towards you at close to 100 MPH, swinging, and hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely.

same goes with pool and curling
actually if you really want me to be serious, I'd say boxing would be the most difficult sport to handle. you need great awareness of the sport, good hand-eye- coordination, strength, stamina.


I wonder what happen to Kimbo slice?

I was injured in my last year of High School and never got into football again. I was scouted by a couple of schools. Main big school was BC [Boston College for you newbs]. 5 10' 195-200 pounds and I played plenty of positions which was my archilles heel and never picked one particular position. Most of the time I'd play cornerback tho.


Getting hit by 300-350 pounders isnt easy but I'd take that over trying to pitcher,play 3rd base and even bat. And if you dont know, Jared Gaither [Batlimore Ravens Starting OT], Derrick harvey [Jacksonville Jaguars starting RE], and Derrick Williams [2009 3rd round draft pick for the Detroit Lions Wide receiver] graduated with me at my High School. But then again its from my personal experience. And yes I played baseball all my life

My point exactly. A game lasts a couple of hours, but there's only about 10 minutes of spectator involvement. Therefore, I think it's boring to watch.

That doesn't mean that it doesn't require any skill or athleticism... that just means that I don't think it's an interesting spectator sport. It's great for drinking beer w/ buddies, though, since it requires very little involvement or attention.

I think he was doing UFC or something, but he lost in some fight. He's big but he doesn't know how to actually fight a man, other than throw ridiculous punches.
