virgin-burner 1 #3 May 2, 2008 Quote What the hell is Snooker? a funny version of billard. pretty much non-understandable to foreigners, just like baseball or cricket.. or skydiving for whuffos for that matter! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

shropshire 0 #10 May 2, 2008 You have two sides. One side is out in the field and one is in. Each man that's in the side that goes in goes out and when he's out he come in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. When both sides have been in and out including not outs, that's the end of the game. HOWZAT! (.)Y(.)

Darius11 12 #16 May 2, 2008 Sorry but Baseball would be number one on my list. The dudes stand there and take a swing then the dude stands back cleans his shoes, spits his tobacco, scratches his balls stands back over the plate and then steps back again. Right about then is when I am praying to be hit by lightning so maybe I can feel something.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #17 May 2, 2008 true enough Baseball IS very boring to watch.... But if you are AT the ballpark,,,, and sitting in box seats,,,, better be careful and pay close attention... I have seen more than one poor soul, get nailed, by a foul ball line drive.... and as bad at that is to SEE,,, it's alot worse to HEAR... ouch !! but as for Boring spectator sports,,, what about Soccer ????........lots of running around,,, but not much scoring... there's more action in the stands,,,,, than on the fieldjmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of moving around and very few goals gets very borring unless you feel very strongly about a team. I’ll watch any sport in the playoffs, but for solid excitement and fun the NFL, World Cart F1, and Karate Kyokushinkai comps are the best.

Maxx 1 #21 May 2, 2008 Skydiving. You hurt your neck while looking at the airplane, then you see black dots and them some people do tiptoe landings.. How exciting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #22 May 2, 2008 You forgot to have 4-way on your list of boring spectator sports! Its kind of ok if you can watch a compilation video of all the jumps later, but sitting there and watching it? Nope. Just isn't that much fun. Its a lot more fun to be in the 4-way, though!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #24 May 2, 2008 You're right but it's not much of a spectator sport... Video in the bar for a few minutes and I'm done watching.

BillyVance 34 #25 May 2, 2008 Quote Snooker is Pool for people who can count higher Ah... so THAT's what Juan Pablo Montoya (Nascar driver from Mexico was making a shot on in his Wrigley chewing gum commercial. I couldn't figure out why the balls were all the same color! Snooker, darts and golf are all accuracy competitions. They have their own audiences, but I'd say golf is the biggest of all. As for poker, I can't seem to figure out just where it should be on TV. NOT ESPN though. I watch it sometimes, especially when they show parts of the WSOP competition.
