no, Not with Baseball being so popular.
Anyway are there any fans of Boxing? this weekend there was a crazy ko upset victory over then undefeated Abner Mares to Johnny Gonzales.
I'm also really excited about the Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez fight.

TORONTO: In a truck road race, two trucks collided off the track. At the end of the race, one of the racer's girlfriend slaps the other racer in the face!

She's been arrested & sent to jail. Here comes the zinger; her cellmates include the 6 cast members of 17 Again & Moe Howard!

Cricket is absolute toilet in my opinion. It's even worse than rugby.

Rugby is awesome. The pace and athleticism of soccer with all the brutality and disregard for human life of football equals awesomeness.

Dedicated to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars & Houston Texans.

I also play this when female contestants get the Curly siren off The Price Is Right (IE: both showcases, $25K on the wheel, $10K on Grand Game, etc.) or if a woman wins $100K/$1,000,000! on Wheel.

I've been watching bits and pieces of the Olympics. I liked the skiing competition where they had to shoot the targets and the dance skating. Not sure if I'll watch much today, but I might glimpse some things.

My country had a disappointing start, but apparently we're in first place now after getting gold and silver medals early this morning. Keeping an eye on it still - can't wait for men's hockey, especially Russia vs Canada.

Watched some today and was disappointed that the U.S. took 22nd in the biatholon (the one with the skiing and shooting). Won't be watching any tonight as I have other shows to watch.

Well, I expected us to be better but it's hard when you don't ski all of the time or live where there isn't constant snow.

Congrats to Charlie White and Meryl Davis for taking the gold in Ice Dancing! So awesome!

I watched the U.S. Women get trounced by Canada yesterday. So sad as I thought the U.S. had it in the bag.

Yeah, the U.S. lost out, but they're going to play for the bronze medal today. Canada just has a better team than we do.

Yo, the hockey has been an absolute mess. The women's final was a joke with all the bad calls. As a Canadian I'm absolutely ashamed of how that went down.

On the men's side I've never felt so sick about a team representing my country. They're absolutely deplorable.

I wanted Finland to take it to the finals, but I'm glad they at least got bronze. That's a team with some serious heart.

Why would you be ashamed of them? They both won.
