It's been a while since I've been in either Miami or Tijuana (little difference). And not being sarcastic, Paul, but if it's what I think you're saying, isn't that spelled "jai-alai"?

I can watch American football. The baseball interest in me died a long time ago (RIP). Basketball was halfway fun until pro teams became less like teams and more like random collections of fat salaries and even fatter egos. Andy will jump in on this one, but I do like watching hockey ... though it's been many years since I've watched it regularly.
One of the reasons I really turned on to soccer over the past several years (which takes effort in this country) was because of a very deep disaffection with the status of most popular American sports.
Other oddball sports I used to be able to tolerate instead included lacrosse, but more college at the stadiums (I used to work for The Johns Hopkins U., which should say something) than the pro leagues they're trying to build into TV properties in the States.
Lacrosse is fun, though the balls can clock you dead quite easily. (Not unlike hi-li ).
Ever see a women's game? It still surprises me that, unlike the men's official game, in women's lacrosse there is no concept of "out of bounds". Freaky.
Always Marat Safin! Cant stand Federer. kinda like Andy Roddick
and womens the Williams sisters. Cant stand Davenport and Henin Hardenne. Sharapova is alright
yeah, Safin is great... mine is... hummm... tough call so many great players like Federe, Zabaleta, Riddick (he is funny), Nadal, Hewitt, The Chile guy whowon the Olympics... but I would have to go with the old scole.. Agassi!!!
