GIANTS

So, there are only 57 days until the NFL season opener between the Redskins (BOO) and the NY GIANTS!! If there is a soul left in the US that doesn't know I'm a Giants fan, well...catch up! :) My intention is to allow fans of all sports to enjoy their seasons but c'mon, can't football be year round? But, then I guess I wouldn't have anything to look forward to! :)

Now, before I begrudge all the below listed sports, I will say that I can enjoy ANY sporting event 'in-person.' There's something about the air in the arena or stadium that is invigorating. However, when the only delivery method from that same arena or stadium to me is through the 'sin box' (as it is less-affectionately known), I am not impressed.

  • I have no desire to watch golf...I'm still undecided on the validity of that sport.
  • I have no desire to watch baseball....maybe its the camera angles, but boring is the only word I can think of.
  • I have no desire to watch basketball...I think its b/c unlike football, when the ball is thrown, your eye is no longer on the player...seems like physics & gravity take over & the net/board/rim are these mystery players that ultimately control the outcome. Weird, i know. :)
  • I have no desire to watch tennis...I can't really keep my eye on the ball. **Disclaimer...I do wish I had seen Venus & Serena in the Wimbledon finals.**
  • I have no desire to watch soccer...probably because I don't know the first thing about it :)!!
I guess there are other sports that I have missed, but these are the few that came to my mind today. They all make up the time in between the best sport season of the year!! So, if naming of the seasons were up to me....fall & winter could be merged and named "football season"...no wait, "Giants season"...OK, maybe that's asking too much! :)
Oh, one more....I have no desire to watch any sport that doesn't have Toomer, Tyree, Manning & Bradshaw! :) GO GIANTS!
