But slapping a ball around a field with a stick and running after it - the height of entertainment!

Baseball is nothing but a bunch of flopping cheaters who take dives.

West Ham, Swanssea, Tottenham, Southampton, Arsenal, West Brom, Wigan, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Norwich City, Fulham, ... sounds like a bunch of damned quidditch teams.

Soccer needs to do something about that yellow card ritual. First time I saw a ref run up in those goofy shorts and pull that card out, well I thought if I were a soccer player I'd probably have to punch him for that.
