I Grow So Weary Of Sports

It's pretty exciting.

I have a question. Do you ever go to any frog racing? I have heard that it is filled with graphic violence, and that the racers are very fortunate if they manage to survive. It think that I have only been to one in my life. It is a intense sport.

can't help it, every time i see the title of your thread this Led Z song starts playing in my head

Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,

[RandyWayne]

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
(And we mean to go on and on and on and on)

We are the champions my friend
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions

Of the world

I've never been to a frog race and hope to never go. I've heard the same stories how violent those are. Akin to cat juggling IMO.

My kids, who know nothing about sports, are working in a call center for sports stuff. I think that is funny! LOL!

You may have a point, although I would say that cat juggling is a more hazardous exercise. After all, if you do not get them right, you may need more help that a surgeon would be able to provide. You certainly could not do that with a number of the cats that were in the audience.

I'm not a sports fan....at all.....But I live in a state that is totally nuts for college football.

And, when in Rome etc and having lived in this state 18 years........I have one wall in my office/sewing room covered with Husker posters, clock, hat, knick knack shelf holding Husker bears, etc

What can I say?


I never watch the games, but I do want us to win!

New conference this year......lots of new territory for all of the crazy fans to visit.

Time will tell.....it's been ok so far.
