@shahnm YES!! Let’s talk about a sport where the undefeated team is not considered the champion and have a bunch of people give a list of BS reasons why the undefeated team should not be the champion.
@Kyeh I just don’t click on the sports or entertainment tabs on Google news cause I don’t care about football or the Kardashians.
Of course getting all your news from Google filtering is iffy… But there are definitely categories I do not care about. At all. Sports will never be one
@Kyeh Exactly! I especially love listening to Bill Belichick drone on passive aggressively about absolutely nothing significant at every press conference!
So apparently football crap is something meh is considering buying… Football is like golf, baseball and basketball… lots of standing around and nothing much happening except in golf they hit a ball, football they are more primitive (pre invent the wheel since the ball isn’t even round) and hit each other and baseball they are less skilled and often miss even hitting the ball. In Basket ball the ball is big as they are bad at catching it apparently because it is too hot since they don’t hang on to it very long.
I’m a sports fan: baseball, basketball, EPL, tennis…But I’ve always found football both uninteresting and unpleasant to watch. Plus the brain injuries, the domestic violence issues, the Tom Brady…Hubs is a Chiefs fan, so I have some awareness of what’s happening in the NFL, but I try my best to avoid it.
@ahacksaw@yakkoTDI Or at least they will claim that they do, and sometimes their inventive accounting is revealed for what it really is. More often, however, they will simply threaten to pick up their marbles and go elsewhere if not gifted a sufficiently opulent new palace in which to romp.
Not as closely as I follow the Voyager spacecraft.
@yakkoTDI Crossing the heliopause is so much more impressive than crossing a goal line.
The what? Is this some sportsball BS?
@unksol Probably more blockchain garbage or something.
@brennyn @unksol You might know it by the other name, Handball.
Only my fantasy team.
I follow the home team. It’s not a favorite team thing, it’s a talking with friends thing.
Well, if it’s the Las Vegas
LosersRaiders (current record, 0 wins vs 3 losses),Not For Long
Let’s talk about college football instead…

@yakkoTDI That’s kinda a sport in its own right…
@shahnm Naw. I’d rather talk about paint drying.
Wanna talk about motorcycles or cars?
@blaineg @shahnm Um, which is this?
@macromeh That’s a motorcycle according to the regs in every state that I’ve checked.
Note the fold-out training wheels for stabilization at stop lights, and consider the implications of stopping on a laterally sloped uneven surface.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Fun.
I wish football were safe. I do enjoy the game. But it’s just unforgivable to let kids play it, knowing the stats.
@kostia
Not as tasty as BSE.
@kostia just this season my 15 year old has had a mild concussion and then two days ago he fractured his hand. NOT SUPER SAFE!
@kostia @sicc574 Sorry that happened to him and I hope is career has ended now.
Th’Iggles! Go Birds!
I don’t follow them but I can’t avoid knowing what they’re doing when the TV news never shuts up about them, 365 days a year!

Although I never ever follow the NFL, I do like buying boxes in the Super Bowl pool, which requires no knowledge of

@ahacksaw And sadly, no matter how “successful” they are sometimes they still need to take welfare money.

I have no interest in football unless Airdrie makes the Championship.
Go Sports!
I follow it 10000000%
