Yea, well I knew of the Kansas City Royals before any other team, and they suck.

Hockey fvcking owns baseball. You can be a fat piece of lard ass to play baseball. Hockey is also the fastest team sport known to man.
I thought F1 would be faster?

    I wonder why he likes the Yankees if he's from California
    I was in a photo shop in Stockton (I was already a Yankees fan)---they had a bunch of signed bats, gloves and even a WS ring. I said wow, where did you get all this cool stuff? Frank Crosetti (shortstop for 1939 Yanks--had 14 WS rings). I said wow, must have been cool. How did you meet him? He lives in Stockton. Wow, could you get him to sign a ball for me? Sure. Called back a week later. Is it signed? Not yet...why don't you go to his house? I called him. He said to come on over. He signed the ball and gave me a signed photo. Came from the same part of Italy as my family. We talked for over an hour.

    He knew Babe Ruth. Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle--and me. Great guy. That's why:)

    Is racing even a sport? I mean all the damn work is done by a fvcking car. The speed, power, and force is all created by the car, not the driver. Racing is such a worthless sport; shouldn't even be considered one IMO.

    F1 drivers lose over 3 kilos of sweat. I'd say it's work. Who are you, and what have you done with the nice Andy?:frown:

    It's still not even a sport, not even a team sport. And even the ABOVE-average Joe cannot play ice hockey.

    It is a team sport, just in a passive kind of way. There is people telling the driver what to do when hes driving, and also the people that fix the car, change the tires, etc.

    If F1 were that easy then I guess everyone could participate on it. Could you get on any F1 car and drive over 150km/h on any track? without crashing?
