Wager this

Posted In Sports

A few people have asked why I’m not covering the March Madness. Simple answer- I hate watching basketball. I have nothing against playing it. I mean, what 5’ 8” chick can’t shoot some hoops? But watching basketball has gotten boring ever since the players stopped wearing daisy dukes on the courts. Well that, and my college (UCSD) was more a nerds conglomerate than an athlete’s paradise so I don’t have much of a college sports affiliation. There are so many other “sporting” events I’d rather watch:

  1. Midget wrestling
  2. Speed foosball
  3. Competitive whack-a-mole
  4. Beer pong
  5. Medieval Times jousting tournament
  6. Demolition bumper cars
  7. Blindfolded laser tag
  8. Niagara Falls barrel plunge
  9. Marco Polo
  10. Roller derby

While the college basketball fans crowd the Sportsbook rooms, anyone up for a rousing game of Underwater Archery?

    Kevin, it was on my list, but I have a fear of crazy wicker paper cuts.

    Little person wrestling is the preferable term. I’m just saying…

  7. […] Australia to check out all the crashes.  But luckily, I can return to a sports bar without being bored by March Madness.  If you missed last night’s 9-7 Red Sox win over the Yankees, you’re un-American.  One of […]
