I don't usually watch sports at all but I think they are way over paid. Wish I got paid to be a homemaker! I think I am worth $200,000.00 a year! Esp. considering my job is 24/7! Laughing

Are there no local teams around where you live Krissy ? There really is no substitute for watching from the stands with your fellow lunatics and lost causes ( that refers to me by the way , not yourself lol ) . I'm trying to like baseball , guess its a work in progress lol . I think I need a lost cause to get behind . That would be the Cubs ?

None that I know of!! 

I see a difference between sports in the US and the UK.  Uk sports are tough!! No special equipment, no padding just real men beating the stuffing out of each other for a single ball!!  In the US, the players are pampered, padded and the game just takes so long...throw the ball and stop....kick the ball and stop...hit the ball, run...then stop!! LOL!!
