LOL.

FWIW - Sorry, I can't get into the sport. I am sure it is interesting if you know the strategies invovled. I don't.

My father once said that golf was a stupid game as you put a ball down and hit it to go chasing after it. He said it made no sense. I informed him that guy that hit the ball made several hundred thousand dollars that day. He then saw the sense in golf.

I guess he would have said the same thing about car racing.

FAVORITES
#1 college football
2 NFL

LEAST FAVORITES
#1 soccer
2 basketball

Reasons for least favorites are soccer is totally boring and the score is usually 1-0

Basketball is a constant whistle blow for a foul because if anybody even thinks of contact he gets called on it. Also I can't see the challenge of someone 6'10" jumping 4" off the floor to dunk a ball.

I don't count NASCAR as a sport. If I would, then I myself am an athlete everyday I get into the car.

Baseball is ok except they play about 160 games a year so if you loose 5games in a row it doesn't really mean anything. Lose a game in football and that could be your season. Cut baseball down to 24 games and make the game 6 innings and then a game would be more meaningful and less boring.

Jimbo, do you bring a shovel when you go to the horse track so you can pick up your winnings?

Football, college or pro, followed by baseball are my favorites and Pro basketball is my least favorite. If the coverage of pro basketball on the sportspages was left blank in my paper I would not complain.

I guess Jimbo 2012 and I are the only "Sport of Kings" enthusiasts. It's a shame that more sports fans aren't a part of this incredibly exciting sport. And Jimbo- if Skyguy79 knew the dollar amount that you "picked up" each time you visited the track then he might not make "tongue in cheek" comments about the bankroll you have in your pocket when you leave the track for the day.

Least favorite: Soccer-----very boring!

It wasn't a statement of Jimbo's wagering skills. It actually came from my late uncles humor. Uncle Joe liked the ponies and he would joke that it was a good thing he brought a shovel to pick up his winnings whenever he returned home without having a good day.

I lived near the Saratoga flat & harness track and have been to the flat track numerous times during the August season in my working years. Loved it but couldn't go anywhere as much as I would have liked to because of either work, lack of funds or in later years physical limitations! Besides, my heart would get pumping too hard and my anxiety level would hit the roof if the horse I bet on was in a narrow lead!

Al was not referring to wagering, which I don't, he was referring purse

money as an owner

Thanks for the clarification!

You see Jimbo-only you and I really understand the lingo and logistics of the game. Sorry if I offended Skyguy but I'm sure Jimbo has had much success pulling in the "big bucks" via the Sport of Kings. Go WOTW!!!!
