    For me it has to be football - sorry to be a cliche but that's the way it is

    I like football about as much as I like eating raw tripe.

    It's a quality game - only matched by rugby.

    Rugby I like.
    Football I don't.

    Anyone like cricket? I'm co-arranging a launch for a cricket company tonight and the 20Twenty Cup, Kent CCC and Martin Saggers will be there - apparently that's good! :lol:

    Rugby for me, whatever people may say about men in tight shorts playing around in the mud. Come to think of it, it's kinda like mountain biking!

    Rugby and cricket both score highly with me.

    But the big 3:
      Rowing. Nothing I've ever found to compare to it for teamwork, coordination and competitiveness. Also, being a 6'5" lanky git is a huge advantage. The one sport where I could classify myself as really quite good - i.e. 12 seconds off GB team qualification time over 2km after less than a year of training! Sailing. Whether dinghies or yachts, nothing turns all the crap in my head off so quickly or effectively. In a boat, I am happy, relaxed and in charge. On land, life gets in the way. :evil: Windsurfing. Nothing comes close to the huge rush you can get on a windsurf board. THe next stage for me to learn is wavesailing. Look at matteeboys picture above, but add windpower to drive the board further, faster and higher, whilst still using the power of the wave.

    And please admit it, professional football has become the worst game in the country.

    skiing beats biking for me. But if I could ski whenever I wanted to, I'm not sure which one would be my favourite.

    Actually I officially despise it, cos everywhere I move either a Euro or World Cup follows me, and causes 1 helluva racket. Plus everyone assumes that it is the default sport and that you have to support a team.

    Best sport.... Skiing.

    Choose 1? - no chance! Skiing, rugby or water polo (a real real man's sport!)for me.

    Buffalo.

    Failing that we have...

    forum fishing for bites,

    sofa surfing,

    mountainboarding,

    hooking up with married women,

    biscuit dunking (avoid the dreaded crack-off),

    nadger baiting (like badger baiting but involves your genitals,peanut butter and a hungry dog),

    registering on gay dating websites to see if anyone you know is on there,and tactfully avoiding subsequent 'offers',

    finding out just how far you can stretch your terms of employment,

    wearing yesterdays underwear,

    trying to get your girlfriends mother into bed,

    trying to get them into bed together.

    OK,so the only serious answer is mountainboarding :oops:
    =========================================

    I'm enjoying the Nascar at the moment. Just watching the Daytona 500 and loving that. If I had the choice of what to watch, it'd have to be Rugby League, I'm a Bradford Bulls fan.
