Good. We need the spoiler thread, otherwise how can we make the right bets with idiots in sports bars.

Excellent point. We've made $100 in pizza money already.

Gud Gawd; it's only F'ing sports. You'd think it was somehow important.
I got my fill of sports in 2004, seeing JF'nK on skies, surfboards, sailboards, bikes, "hunting", "shooting"...
It ain't like they're showing the Olympics Biathlon, or Summer Games shooting events!

Not everyone here shares the identical interests. I'm sure there are some things you think are important that don't matter to many here.
If the mods can keep most people happy here, they're doing their job. They'll probably be glad to hear that you won't be posting Olympic results out on the news forum.

Who's going to argue about $100 in pizza money?

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made a school mama happy,
Never blew a second chance.
I need the Mods to keep me happy,
I need the Mods to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy....

Hey, unsourced vanities don't belong in Breaking News, dude. Who do you think you are, anyway?

It's more a comment on the MSM's PC coverage.
Shooting in any form...even archery events...get little coverage because they don't think (obviously!) there is any legitimate interest, or redeeming social value in such competitions.
Bobsledding, ski jumping and downhill flag-collecting (sometimes called "slalom") among others can get my heart rate up; BUT I WANT TO ****SEE**** the 'nasty guns' being used!

PC coverage has a lot to do with it, but the shooting sports are not very dramatic in terms of possible tv coverage.
Seriously, even in bowling you see pins go flying. In shooting you might see a tiny black speck appear in the target circle.
Bobsleds look like racecars on ice. They're gonna get covered.

I hadn't considered the bet angle. I'll have to bookmark the thread. I don't do bars but I have some dumb co-workers.
