America's Pastime

[Pitbul]

my favorite passtime is Football by far. baseball bores me beyond comprehension. even slow ppl matter in baseball its pretty much strength and make sure u hit the ball.wow someone alert the media.football takes timing strenght an I.Q and agility. the only position that takes extensive work in a baseball team is the pitcher. i cant watch baseball for more then 5 minutes then i change the channel and just watch the highlights if u would call them Highlights. pretty much in baseball the biggest thing u got to worry about is getting with by the pitcher.

J2, are you talking about notch stenosis? If so, I have it also. I can get past "catch" to golf, however far that is. However, my wife also likes my legs.

Not familiar with notch stenosis-whatsit?

Cruciate insufficiency=sloppy cruciates, basically; short-duration mis-alignment leading to injury.

Luckily I have "some" meniscus left, otherwise (so said the Ortho-guy) I would have to sit very still for a long, long time.
I'm also doing rehab for a "heart event" last year, so am doubly lucky; I can walk in a reasonably vigorous fashion. (never dreamed I'd begin to use these emoticons-even the name-"emoticon"-egad!&#33

"Notch" refers to the notch in the bottom of the femur, where the PCL and ACL attach. Preferred is one that's nice and round like a Roman arch. If it looks like a keyhole, it leads to impingement of the ACL and is responsible for most non-contact tears. Mine was, however, a contact injury. My ACL had been partially torn before - football and skiing. The BB injury just tore it loose - evulsed it.

Sounds typically gruesome.
I'll assume I'm not notched, because it makes me feel better to do so, and because I'd need the Doc to tell me otherwise.

I'm sure, somewhere along the line, you've had the "pain of giving birth" conversation with some female?
They have my sympathy and respect for their commitment thus, but when I've tried to describe to them the pain of a "knee" (moment of trauma), or even a good shot in the groin, words fail me.

YOU know what I mean.

Sorry pitbul dont agree to much on some of that. There is more to it than strength and hitting. I played baseball and i was the second best defensive player on the team i dont lift. Its anticipation. Ok then with your pitcher comment. Have you even seen a pitcher throw a perfect game where there were no hits to anyone in the field? NO!!!! IF you dont watch the sport dont bash on it and make comments like you know everything about it. Thats the way i feel atleast!

Baseball IS amazing; problem is, the subtleties are lost on the average fan.
The most analytic commentator extant, ex-Reds H.O.F.&#39;er Joe Morgan, will awe you with his insights into the "hidden" game. What a pity he has to draw back for fear of losing the onlookers&#33; If there were such a thing as broadcasts geared to true baseball "crazies" instead of just fans (NOTHING AGAINST FANS), the audience would surely grow.

Ok&#33;

Here it is in order of Best in the planet down. My top 3 that is:

1. World Cup Soccer (I got up at 2:00 am few times last year to watch)

2. NFL (Love Monday night football at a bar with a few buddies a few wagers and a few beers. The game is like chess in a tactical sense if you know enough about it.)

3. NHL (NY Rangers at Madison Square Garden rules of course with an overpriced foot long hotdog on the side)

Does anyone else have a top 3?

Maybe of post and with apologies to Nikki.

What happened to Toronto, again.

WTF are the Philadelphia Flyers, or whatever they are called.

How can the Maple Leafs be so popular and so rich and never get past the first round.

[nahan]

I myself wanted toronto to win, but at and near the trade deadline both teams stacked up on players because in all likelihood they would play each other in the playoffs.

If you do or do not know many of the players in the NHL pay close attention

Toronto picked up at the deadline
Owen Nolan 2 points all series
Phil Housley 0 points in 3 games
Doug Gilmour couldnt play one game (injured)

Shane Corson was there all regular season but never played in any playoff games ,go figure.

Philidelphia near and at the deadline picked up players
Tony Amonte 3 points
Sami Kapanen 3 points
Demitry Yushkevich 4 points
It looks like Toronto had problems with players simply just showing up on the score sheet and the ice.
