Re: what in everyones opinion is
I can watch any sport at all except for probably netball (my Mum and Sister used to play and watch it all the time).
Formula 1 used to be boring because nobody would pass anybody, but at least now we have an Aussie driver to cheer for (Mark Webber - Jaguar).
ATB, don't knock baseball - it's my favourite (along with ITFC of course, although I haven't seen a whole game for a while now)
As far as playing........ I find tennis a little boring, I would much rather just have a hit back and forth with somebody instead of someone whacking a winner down the line, then going and fetching the ball back and doing it all over again.
I've always wanted to have a go at lawnbowls - I reckon that would be a bit of fun.
In summation, I reckon I could watch or play 99% of sports. As they say on Ricky Lake - It's all good.

Re: what in everyones opinion is
1. Long distance walking. It's people. Walking. Looking stupid. Not exactly thrilling is it?
Closely followed by weight lifting. It's a person. Picking something up. Wooooo.
2. Cricket (if you're me, ie crap at it). Spend about 5 mins trying to hit a ball with a lump of wood. Get caught out. Spend the rest of the week waiting your turn to stand around in the middle of a field.
Finally you get to spend a week stood in the middle of a field waiting for a ball to be hit towards you (which will rarely actually happen), standing too far from everyone else to have a chat.
The only way to make it more enjoyable is to sit / lie down and sunbathe, but in this case, if the ball ever IS hit in your direction you will severly p*ss all your team-mates off, making a bad fortnight out even worse.

I hate rugby and golf. Rugby is stop, start, stop, start. And golf is a good walk spoiled!!
Why do you hate the tennis game on the pole? Keep getting hit in the head? Might knock some sense in to you??

Now Black beuty is pulling away by about 3 lengths as we near the finish.
