Post by ric »

i like lacross and would like to see more of it. they used to play it on espn #1, remember that shit? a long time ago. anyway lacross was fun to watch.

but the #1 sport id love to be able to watch on a regular basis is professional handball. excellent sport.

I wish I had watched more of Djokovic's 37-0 run to start the year, he's been beasting(4 wins vs Nadal in finals lol) and I've only seen his semi/final matches from the Australian Open

not exactly what you were asking but similar, if he makes the final of the French Open he will take over the #1 seed, and would be the first time 2/1/04 that neither Nadal nor Federer was ranked #1

it gets the official 'belongs in this thread' stamp of approval.

i used to like to watch tennis when i played but those days were short and they were over long ago.

i wish we could watch summer olympic type sports. like judo. that shit was excellent. caught it on the abc/nbc/whoever website, along with handball, which was nice. but official judo-no-ufc is real talk.

My sister was at his semi final win against Murray on Saturday. Because of this, I ended up watching (I usually don't watch non grand slam stuff) and it was some of the best tennis I've seen in quite some time. He's just been so good.

Basketball, baseball and football. But due to time differences it's hard to watch it simultaneously, plus coverage in the Netherlands is very poor. Don't really have the time, incentive or patience to look games up on the internet, so I don't see an aweful lot.

But, I did happen to catch last years Superbowl, intend to do so again this year.

Track & Field and in particular, the sprinting events.

100m, 200m, 400m, 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles, 4 X 100m relay, 4 X 400m relay are the main events I'd want to see. Men and women (nh), it doesn't matter.
