Yep. It's worthless to watch
Now that just isnt true.
I was in the USA a few years ago when the World Series was on. Was in a bar one night and it was a great atmosphere. Ok it was long but you only watched the good bits and chatted away the time. Its a social sport
It's very social when you sit in a stadium with no one you know and all of the sudden someone hits a ball somewhere.
I can understand its fun to watch in bars and stuff. Sounds great anyway
Have you ever played baseball?

Its funny that we talk about boring sports on a cycling forum, when you look at public opinion that is.
Almost none of my friends can understand the excitement in cycling |

I'm baffled myself why I'm so into cycling. I find everything about it so exciting and I can't explain it  |

Opened the sports newspaper today: "Rui Costa beats world champion Eddy Merckx"
wait what?
Read the article....it was about the Pool/Billiards world championships. Yes, those are the names of the players

What could you expect? It's Portugal. Apart from Football, the newspapers don't give a shit about anything else. |

You sure it wasn't a UK newspaper? They would genuinely report that as a cycling story

The report was right. The Pool world champion is a guy named Eddy Merckx and he was defeated by a guy named Rui Costa.

No problem, here's your solution:

What the hell happened with Photobucket, again?
Now, the IMG code is an URL code, so if you click the picture here, you don't get a bigger version, but it directs you to Photobucket... 
Update Link Options (Under the the IMG code) then uncheck the "Link back to to albums" box. Frustrated me for a while as well. 
Also anybody notice anything new about my siggy? |
