I'm not sure how I should regard a quote about recreation from a man who killed himself due to malaise.

Think less about the source of the quote and more about the content.

Besides it really seems to piss off football fans for some reason. Lol...

Hemingway was an alcoholic and killed himself.

Truth, his sister, brother and father all commited suicide too, damn sad way to go...

There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.

Rabid British soccer fans are the worst.

I didn't move the thread. But... whomever did... A+!

But if the Cowboys or Rangers made the playoffs, half the people here would become fans!

Whatever I'm watching, I always cheer for the Texas teams. I've lived all over the US and that's always been the case. I'm just not going to go out of my way to watch the games. I will be disappointed if they lose, I will be excited if they win, but overall, I couldn't give two shits and am definitely not going to go to work the next day and say things like, "Did you see that ludicrous display last night? What was [blank] thinking sending [blank] on that early. The thing about [blank] is they always try to walk it in."

I do however believe that obsessing over the athleticism of others is a waste of perfectly good time and cognizance.

I like non-team sports and/or games. Ping pong, golf, etc. I like playing them, but rarely watch them. Golf sucks me in sometimes, because golf is one of the things that I get better at just by watching what the pros do.

Other than that, I can't usually stand to watch football, basketball, baseball, etc on TV, especially by myself. I only get excited about team sports like that when there are going to be a bunch of people getting together and I can socialize while watching.

That sounds like fun. I have an aunt that used to be an amateur archaeologist before she was put on oxygen, I always thought it was the coolest thing to see a T rex skull in her basement when I was a kid.

I met a guy a few years ago that did that. He described it like prospecting. There are people who have discovered bones and they guard their locations with utmost secrecy so they can sell them on the private market. He mentioned how very careful and slow you have to be when excavating something to keep it in tact. A broken skull obviously worth much less than an intact one. He said something about a large dinosaur skeleton found on someone's land near the Red River that they were able to retrieve mostly intact and sold it to someone for $40k.
