Re: Sports
I like pretty much everything apart from Horse Racing and Sailing.
And Bowls crown green or otherwise.
And Cycling apart from the last 30 seconds.
And Basketball apart from the last 30 seconds.
Ice Hockey unless there is a fight.
Not fond of skiing, in fact the Winter Olympics in general bore me apart from Curling that's a bit like darts in slow motion.
Clay pidgeon shooting is rediculous on tv.
And paintball ? What the hell is that all about you can't see the balls .
I don't mind the Summer Olympics but things like Kayaking, Sailing(again), Synchronised Swimming (especially the men) don't do it for me at all.
Don't see the appeal of rallying unless there's some accident and speedway seems pointless after the first corner.
Marathons aren't must watch tv for me, squash just seems to be people running into each other and don't get me started on dressage.
Powerboat racing is boring unless they sink and have you ever tried to understand the rules in Kabaddi ?
Apart from those I like everything.

Re: Sports
NASCAR is on Open Access (channel 190, I think). They've bought the entire package, like Setanta did, so you get the pre and post race shows from the US, but you also get lots of breaks - the commentary goes silent and you just get an onboard feed (it's the same car for the whole race though)Adrian1969 wrote:My first love was probably Boxing but now it's darts.

I've been an Autosport subscriber for years and they mentioned it in there. Not quite sure how it works, because they've got no other programmes and they don't have any adverts (well you wouldn't buy ad time, would you?).mod500 wrote:Cracking, I have been missing this, I dont normally go to the high number channels on sky, although I have heard there are some real crackers up in the 900's.mrsheen wrote:NASCAR is on Open Access (channel 190, I think).

I actually missed the pre-race stuff when Sky got the rights. Had become quite used to expert opinions and Keith Huewen certainly wasn't that when he started. He became quite knowledgeable in the end though. Surprised ESPN didn't pick it up, though. They broadcast the second half of the season in the US and have a tight relationship with NASCAR.

The only thing that gets me out of the house when the Ryder Cup is on is fire. Anything else can wait.skudlooking wrote:football(man utd)

There's nothing quite like Ryder Cup Sunday - My late mother didn't really watch golf, but my last memory of her before her illness was of her sitting with her head in her hands on the stairs whilst McGinley had the putt to win it. She was completely engrossed and the tension got her so much, she just couldn't watch.

Poker (kind of classified as a sport..)
Tennis
Cricket

And most sports that happen to be on when there is nothing else to do.
