The World of Sports
What would the world be without sports? BORING! Anyway, I just want to blab
about a few sports I am interested in, so here we go.
Paintball
(That's a paint splat)
Now here's a real sport. Guys running around with markers
(not literally) trying to tag the other players while getting to a flag
or some other such goal. Its a real rush to play, and well worth the cost
(most are about $30-$40 for a day, including paint and gun rental and mask).
Get off your duff and try it, you'll be addicted. Just be ready for the
welts you will have after playing if you get hit where you weren't sufficiently
padded...those suckers will stay for a couple weeks, and if you take it in the neck,
its one big hicky for a while (I know someone that took one like that and got a lot
of flak for it...).
I just got myself a couple of markers from my bro-in-law. An old Sheridan pump rifle (modified, also known as the "home-made gun" because no one these days recognizes it) and a Sheridan VM-68. ROCK!
Baseball
Ah the great American past-time. Gotta' love baseball, but I have watched little
baseball the last few seasons. It kind of lost its greatness to me, and since my
current fav playor is benched with a major injury, I really don't watch. Its still
great though, good to watch, funner to play. Yeah, yeah I know you're saying, "good
to watch? Ha! What a joke!" Well it is, and you must be some football junkie if
you disagree. Hell you'd probably think I was crazy if I told you I watch Lacrosse and
REAL football, i.e. soccer. So whatever.
As an afterthought, why do they call American football, football if you're not
supposed to be using your feet?
Hockey
Oh now this is a nice sport. Everyone is so kind
to each other and never hit each other with the sticks they carry. Its
a game without violence. Yeah right. The common saying "I went to the fights
and a hockey game broke out" is quite true. You just have to love the game
though (or at least I do). There's nothing quite like playing it either.
Though I have no "true" favorite team, I do have fave players, those being
Ed Belfour ("The Eagle", though now he's a Shark, yuck!), Pavel Bure ("The Russian Rocket"),
and Tony Granato (dunno if he really has a nickname). Anyway, enjoy
your hockey and watch it all the time.
Sports Links
Warpig Cool paintball site filled to the brim
with all sorts of info and such.
If you notice there's not many links, most I had were outdated, so I took them out. I'm working
on some new ones though.
