The most boring sports

[The Duke]

Yeah, it was a really great car to race because it was CHEAP! If I bent it, it didn't break the bank fixing it!

With a frame machine?
Ya know, I told you about my friend with the machine shop.
We built a frame machine. Hefty duty one. Double whatever they normally are.

Ouch! Words hurt!

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God.

Nah, "bent it" is a generic term we use for damage in a crash, engine or suspension failures, etc.

It's a catch all statement.

You were talking weak shit.

You backed your way into a corner, and you can`t get out.

Because you're a weakling?

I used to race an Elva Courier MKII.

A poor man's Shelby Cobra. I liked them too; I only ever got to see one up close, though, in 1968.

I loved playing baseball

Same here. I loved playing the game, and had a wall full of trophies by the end of high school, but I can't sit through a game as a spectator even for an inning.

Where was that? I started racing mine in 1967.

..and street fights have gotten more brutal with no one breaking them up and aping the UFC stuff.
When I was young, we watched stuff like that on "Faces of Death".

Eh, we used to watch bum fights on VHS tape back in the day.

it's the fact you see them more now because everyone has a video camera on them, not that they didn't happen before.

You never played the game and you don`t watch it because you don`t understand what`s going on.

Some race my father took us to, it was a 1963 model. I haven't seen one here in the States since. I was 10 or 11 or so. The , and I noticed the resemblance to the front end and general design similarities.

It was probably a 1962 version.

Somewhere in there.

The sport of baseball was good until they commercialized it into television hell along with the endless player stoppages due to contracts. It was top dog and let the NFL take over. And the NFL has never looked back. You can be a benchwarmer and earn several million dollars a year. Talk about skating in employment.

Football has a couple things going for it. Gambling and the time of year that it`s played. Watching fat guys bumping bellies and field goals that most high school kickers can make is boring. After the draft you`ll hear some GMs saying, "we feel we drafted well in the "skill positions". Are there any other sports that don`t require skills?
