MikeO Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm a Patriots fan (for no particular reason other than I watched them destroyed by Chicago in Super Bowl XX and I'm a sucker for an underdog) so lost interest after the Colts beat them in the AFC game....watching it for a bit but not right through.

Joe Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 American football is terrible to watch. I couldn't bring myself to watch the superbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 So whats your American sport? I got to admit mines the Ice Hockey, go FLYERS!! (I know they're bottom this year though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I will watch hockey if San Jose is playing since that is where I am from. My favorite american sport would be basketball . I don't think it is that popular in the UK though . I will also watch baseball if the San Francisco Giants are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 baseball is more boring than cricket!!! lol i dont mind basketball, i dont follow anyone tho. be good if basketball was a bit bigger over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 It would be nice if basketball got bigger there. As far as baseball it has a good tradition and is one of those sports that you have to grow up with to enjoy. There are definitely a lot of games that can be boring to watch, I agree with you there.

MikeO Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Did you know baseball is actually a English game It's called rounders and it's played by girlies...typical bloody Americans, play either girlie games like rounders and netball and as soon as there's any physical contact (Gridiron, Ice Hockey) they put on dirty great suits of armour and helmets so as not to hurt each other. Don't know why they don't just all wear pink and be honest about it ! Edited February 20, 2007 by MikeO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 lol, Well don't know the whole history but in 1740/1750's the word baseball was mentioned in a book or newspaper thing and then 20-40 years later its first mentioned in America. After checking the dates I found this on wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball#Origins_of_baseball The earliest known mention of the sport is in a 1744 British publication, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, by John Newbery. It contains a wood-cut illustration of boys playing "base-ball," showing a set-up roughly similar to the modern game, and a rhymed description of the sport. The earliest known American reference to the game was published in a 1791 Pittsfield, Massachusetts, statute that prohibited the playing of baseball within 80 yards of the town's new meeting house. The English novelist Jane Austen made a reference to children playing "base-ball" on a village green in her book Northanger Abbey, which was written between 1798 and 1803 (though not published until 1818).
