I though this might be an interesting thread. With so many users scattered across the world I thought a post on what teams and sports we liked could be interesting. I'll start.
Favorite Teams Dallas Mavericks Dallas Cowboys Texas Rangers Dallas Stars Other sports I like: Horseracing, LaCrosse Sports I don't like: NASCAR, Cricket (Mostly because I don't understand what is going on, and it takes too long) The sport I was best at growing up: Baseball Sporting Event I would most like to go to regardless of teams: Final Four Coolest sporting events I've been to: Stanley Cup Game, Kentuckey Derby, Indy 500 (Don't like racing, but it was being at an event with 500,000 was neat. Favorite Sports Venues: Fenway, Wrigley Final question. If you could be a profeesional athlete in any sport which would it be? |

Quick question: What is flicker ball?
You will love Wrigley. I got to go about 5 years ago. Really neat. Hey Murphy as an Expos fan I am curious to see if you have seen the movement to buy the Expos from a bunch of college kids. Pretty clever ideaBuy the Expos |

<< that's cool rhylan, that you loved tennis..i played competitively for several years..was going to go play juco but my doubles partner received a football scholarship ..kinda ended my tennis career >> I always liked playing tennis, it was the only individual sport I could stand. I'm not patient enough for golf and not dedicated enough to run track. I stopped playing after my junior year, but I parlayed my racquet-handling skills into a kick-ass record in 4 semesters of racquetball in college! |

Flicker ball is this game we play some days during off-season. It has pretty much the same rules as 7 on 7 football(without pads) except you can throw the ball forward or backward from anywhere on the field as many times as you want in one play.

Heck yeah...what sucks is that if the guy runs at you, you don't know what to do. If you leave your man and go after the guy with the ball, then he'll just throw it to the guy you left open. But if you don't leave your man, then he'll just run down the field. Pump fakes are deadly in the game.
