IT'S CALLED...

[tens0r]

Same.

Or well. Some people tend to be somewhat good at all sports or at least learn them fast. I'm that kind. Except for swimming, but that's because I think the water is too cold.


I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread before. This is something that I find very interesting.

Sports are not pointless, IMO. It's a competition and a way to show what you can. And don't you all love winning? There are also the health side to it, since you've got to yews your body to be able to yews your body. Of course there are examples which somewhat prove the opposite, as myself and Kera, who just can't get fat, even if we tried.

I've been very active in a number of sports.
I've played handball for over 10 years and have coached multiple teams as well. I'm also an active referee. Football (not egghand) was my first sport for a good 6 years.
I've played tennis and athletics for a few years each.
I like badminton and table tennis, we have a table tennis table in our living room.
I find golf challenging.

The sports you play are for bitches for the most part.

Badminton is fun, and I'm ok at that and table tennis.

I've taken up basketball over the past year and a half and I'm going to coach some 13-14 year olds next year hopefully if my old school will let me.

I've played badminton a bit, but noting that I can say wheter I'm good at it or not. As far as basketball is concerned, it's great exercise, but doesn't require a whole lot of skill to play.

you didn't have to tell us that you were a mental case, we figured that out long ago.

good

I take it you're God's gift to sport then?

[Turquoise Dragon]

Hell no. All I'm saying is that I've played it, and it doesn't require as much skill as some other sports. Throwing trajectories are easy to figure out, and then after that, it's mostly running, blocks, and dodging.

And football is just kicking, tackling, heading and running.

Rugby is just running, throwing, tackling and kicking.

Cricket is just swinging a bat and throwing.

Table tennis must be the worst because it is just swinging a small bat - and you only need 1 hand !!!!

it's apparent that this dude has a chip on his shoulder, but I can't figure out why... oh wait, mental case.

[Turquoise Dragon]

LOL

I prefer stuff that requires a bit more thinking: chess, checkers, pool, etc. Yes, pool. It's all physics and geometry - angles, momentum, spin, etc.

I won 2 out of 3 rounds of darts at the bar last weekend (broke even twice, for the dipshits) but sucked at pool (dude carried me but I put a couple in).

[Turquoise Dragon]

Cool. Darts is fun. Never was really good at it, but never played it much, either.
