Calling all manly men.

[Lord Brutus]

Living vicariously through other people is generally considered to be unhealthy. 

Only when there are other options.

Yes, because in no way was my post just a god-awful pun.

Well I can understand watching sports you do yourself. I've been known to take hints for performing different types of exercises from youtube and such, but I do not spend my free time inviting my friends over to watch some sweaty, burly guy squat his ass off.

Did she just call herself gay?

Yes. Yes she did.

Forgive me, the av and forum profile indicating "female" fooled me.

Why watch them instead of playing with/against them to get better yourself?

For starters, I tore my ACL. I won't be playing anything for months. Pushing that aside, the sports I really enjoy playing are soccer and football, with a bit of basketball mixed in. It can be kind of hard to get enough people together as often as I would like. A full 11v11 (American) football game is really fun. Unfortunately I've only played four or five total.

That's not a sport, that's an exercise. It's completely different.

Weight lifting is even an OLYMPIC sport. Granted they don't do basic squats at olympics but there are events for that.

that because you ignored rule #1 there are no women on the internet...

It's an Olympic event, though it may technically be called a sport. Plus, there's plenty of stupid **** in the Olympics.

Hehe, speedwalking.

In other news, thank for arm braces-Ginobili's back!

 

[Oyipggy]

Meh, he'll probably hurt something seriously, not say anything, cover it up and never be the same player as a result.

Since the Celtics are pretty much ****ed (who trades Kendrick Perkins?!), I've been secretly pulling for the Thunder.

 

[teh.frickin.pope]

Why would they need another center? They have Shaq, right? 

You're probably right about Manu, he does have a tendency to play when he really shouldn't, and the Spurs are already going to be needing a major shot of talent soon with him, Parker and Duncan getting a little on the older side.

 

[Oyipggy]

People have been saying the Celtics need younger talent for years. Sure, they sort of got some, but the lovely adage "Don't fix what isn't broken" seems to apply well to the Spurs.

 

[teh.frickin.pope]

As of a few games ago, they were all broken  I guess I'm just not quite as confident in our bench these days; where's Steve Kerr when you need him?

You guys got Rondo, that's a decent amount of young talent right there.

Yea, well, ask LeBron for his thoughts on one man teams.

Edit: Also, figures the moment I turn off fairweather hockey fan mode, the Bruins start winning. It's back on now.
