Anyone buy the Sports Illustrated magazine?....other than the swimsuit
issue? Current version is supposed to have an article on a local kid playing hockey in the Quebec Major Jr Hockey League. His name is Sidney Crosby, and some writers think he could be the next Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux. Not bad promo for a 16 year old kid. When he gets drafted, I hope he's not wasted on one of those Florida teams. |

Now there's a boring spectator sport...soccer. About as thrilling as watching paint dry. As for the SI, naw. I look over the swimsuit issue at the checkout counter. Amazing what one can do with an airbrush, eh? -- Email sent to is never read. |

From: Harry Krause
Now there's a boring spectator sport...soccer. About as thrilling as watching paint dry. Actually soccer is the most spectator popular sport in the world. It is alleged that countries have gone to war over the outcome of soccer games. Heck, look at some of the soccer riots in other countries in past years. Makes us look tame. 138 days to go.. |

Yeah, I know how popular it is. After watching a couple of games, I wonder why. -- Email sent to is never read. |

Maybe it's because those Europeans get confused and call it 'football'.

About the only pro sports I'll watch, and only in person, are baseball and occasionally basketball. Baseball appeals to me on many levels. I like basketball because you're so close to the action and you really can see some spectacular athletes at their best. -- Email sent to is never read. |

I've never been to a'pro' basketball game although we had a semi-pro kind of
league here a number of years ago and on occasion a couple of NBA teams will play an exhibition type pre-season game here. The skipper of the boat I crew on has a numberof clients in your general area. One took him to a Washington game a couple of years ago. He got to see Michael Jordan play and as a bonus...was introduced to Tara Banks...the model. That would be worth the price of admission. Harry Krause wrote in message ... Dunno.

Don't want the Game to get in the way of the Drinking and Carousing... Then again, I find baseball pretty boring to watch as well. And don't get me started on golf! Lloyd |

Golf? Golf is like watching paint dry. -- Email sent to is never read. |
