captain yesterday |
I'm bored, and I like sports, but there's no place devoted to ALL sports, just football, and I can't watch that anymore because it feeds my seasonal depression, although officially, I'm blaming liberal concussion guilt. :-)
Anywhoo, the usual Captain Yesterday rule set
1) Be excellent to each other
2) Keep trash talking to a minimum, and light hearted, don't get carried away with it, and must include smiley or laughy faces so everyone knows you're joking. :-D
3) ALL sports are welcome.
4) feel free to brag about your child's exploits, or your own for that matter, if you're still playing sports.
5) ALL time travellers welcome, especially if they have any future box scores.

Yeah, I'm an NFL fan (less so since Concussion and research on the doctor who confirmed CTE). And a Patriots fan.
Not much of a college football fan, though, but that's just because University of Tennessee hasn't put anything solid together since my freshman year of college . . . .
The rest of the sports . . . . They just don't hook me.
Except curling. lol

I hate noon Twins games because people flood the skyways and its hard getting around here at work. Although, it's a little bittersweet since the window in my row looks over Target Field!
I like that they are playing the Phillies, because since its an away game for the Phils, my commute home will be less aggravating.

The Angels are an unmitigated dumpster fire- as I wish all Los Angeles Teams would be!
(In my family, we have some very simple rules-no rooting for L.A.- ever- National League is best League, College Hoops > NBA, and your two favorite college teams in any sport are IU and whoever's playing Purdue.)

MLB: Giants (it's been a nice decade!), and I sort of adopted the Cardinals during my time in the Midwest as a Plan B.
NFL: Raiders (... not such a nice decade) with a brief stint rooting for the 49ers since the Raiders went to L.A.
NCAA: Indiana University, although Cal Berkely's rugby team is an exception.
NBA: -
NHL: Vancouver(but I have a soft spot in my heart for Detroit as well)
Rugby Union: New Zealand, Scotland, France
Rugby League: Same as Union
Arctic Winter Games: Alaska, Yukon
...
Should I stop now?

There's always the weather. :-)
Talk about whatever you want Cal, it's all good with me. :-)
lol thanks. I'm from Arkansas, where there's little else to talk about at family gatherings like today (Independence Day for those from other countries who might not know) aside from the Razorbacks (though the Arkansas State University Red Wolves are probably just as good though they don't get the press), huntin', fishin', muddin', four wheelin', and church. I've been married into my wife's family for 25 years and I still feel totally out of place at any holiday gathering.

I wouldn't call it hate, sports is naturally inclined so you root for the underdog and deride success.
You yourself did it by singling out 'Bama.
I myself root against The Ohio State University.
In fact, my whole argument for why I don't care for the SEC was because it was "overrated" which is, as recent history will say, a silly argument. :-D

I love the Raiders now because Carr, Crabtree, and Cooper won me a whole lotta fantasy games. Also, its great to see a team climb from the bottom. Hopefully they climb a lot higher! In fact, fantasy has changed the entire way I watch the game. I don't really hate any team and will never be a lifelong fan of any either. My buddies still think I am a Giants superfan; to be fair Odell Bekham jr. won me a lotta fantasy too :)

Which I totally get. Though, for me, my discrimination against 'Bama is rooted in my being proud of being a Tennesseean, and the UT-UA rivalry (if it can really even be called such anymore) is one of the better ones. Or used to be.
The Crimson Tide's continued success only exacerbates my underdog complex. :D
As for fantasy football . . . . I'll go with Darth Obstinus' response to being asked if he played any: "No. I play real Dungeons and Dragons." >:D

Shame. Seemed like a nice enough person.
BUT NOW THE HATERADE MUST FLOOOOOOOOW!
Thermonuclear Hypersonic Firebreathing Divebomb @ Cole Deschain's/Captain Killjoy's Sideline
All your Haterade are boiled away by me. Stay thirsty, my frenemies!
ka-KAW! ka-KAW!!

I don't always choose hate, but when I do, its against Patriot fans.
Stay thirsty my AFC East.
Oh, I'm sure they will, Pan. I'm sure they will.
this is all said in good fun, not to downplay any bad things

Not really, I heard the swimming and women's gymnastics are insane this year, but I've been kind of busy, and I forget it's on until I check ESPN in the morning to see what's happening.
But isn't this the wacky world of sports?
It's the world olympics! There's "world" and "sports" already... And there's plenty of wacky going on this year as well! XD
