If I listed my top 10 sports to watch/follow, I'm not sure the NBA would even make the cut. I haven't watched 5 minutes of the NBA this year, regular season and playoffs combined. I thought of this because of the thread in the sports forum that won't die.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I am sure MLB and NHL are just as bad. They play back to back nights all season long, but can't do it in the playoffs.

I know it is all about the TV contracts driving the playoff schedule, but it is brutal.

I've been trying to figure out exactly where the thread belongs... Is it Esoteric? There's lots of Sports... Has Societal overtones too... It may need to be planted to grow its' own new room.

And if any of you pansies dared brought up the arts or popular culture in general, the conversation, I'm guessing, would quickly turn to twelve-point bucks and tractor pulling.

Where can I find the form online to sign up for your 2010 Hard-Ass Summer Camp? I'm hoping pussification can be reversed.
OK, Ginger. Before any pussification reversals are made, which one are you in the dance video?

These are the lamest things ever. I swear I was in a bar last night and people were trying to create one. I felt like I was in the South Park High School Musical episode.

I'd rather see a high school musical Flash Mob than a Philly Flash Mob which consists of kicking the crap out of random strangers. its really pitiful.

Fellas,

I just thought I'd share a video with you. I thought you might just click on it and say to yourselves, what the hell, maybe I can take a few minutes out of my day otherwise spent arguing with other two hundred pound men about the proper way to race ride thoroughbreds and, at the very least, acknowledge the fact that it was a logistical masterpiece getting 100 people to emerge out of thin air in a busy student union to pull that off. At most, I was hoping you'd find it entertaining (especially when they busted out the manhood arousing "O-H-I-O" chant toward the end).

I don't know how this became the DT Homophobe thread (well, I guess I do, having posted a "Glee"-inspired Ohio State flash mob video). I want to make it clear that I, as a straight man who considers himself a friend to the homosexual, am glad that a large population of good-looking men with killer fashion sense are not interested in my wife.

Vol, how dare a fan of the totally irrelevent Tennessee Volunteers even think about uttering a single @#!%& word about the NFL all-pro factory that is THE Ohio State University. I'll debate you all night if you want, but I'm seeing your creamsickle-wearing, "Rocky Top"-singing hilljacks and raising you 35 Big Ten championships, 7 Heisman Trophies, and 7 National Titles. Peyton Manning is long gone. He didn't win anything when he was there, anyway. Now you have a .500 program. And have for awhile. All those "gay" kids dancing in the video wouldn't even know where Tennessee is on the map. It's not because they're ignorant. It's because they never had a reason to care. I'm out like Lane Kiffen!

P.S.: Cannon Shell, these guys want their material back:
