I've noticed that even in our 6+ years as a forum, nobody ever set up a Sports thread. (We have a "World Cup" thread, but that's about it for sports conversation.)
I've also noticed that this is a thing many people talk about with much amusement. I have seen them do it in places. Whole television networks.
I...I am new at this. I would like to learn how to do this kind of conversation.
I think if we work together, this is a conversation that we can do.
Starting off, I'm actually a bit of a baseball fan. I've been to a number of local games with my family. There's a minor league team in our area that's actually pretty good (at least, compared to the other minor league teams that come to play them...) Unfortunately, I rarely ever get a chance to follow the regular Major League season. (I usually don't even know who's playing in the world series until shortly before it starts up).
Also, this:
There's also a hockey team in our city, a relatively new one in fact. (A farm team for the NJ Devils). I haven't been to any of their games yet. Not since our native home team up and left the city a few years back. Wounds are still too fresh. I'm hoping to go at some point though.
But anyway, yes.
Let us have this discussion.
(And if there's anything missing from the poll above, which there no doubt is, let me know. I'll just add it in under Golf.)
Anyone have any specifically favorite sports they like to play and/or watch?
Favorite Teams?
Favorite Players?
Favorite Stadiums?
Again, I am new at this and do not know entirely where to start.
