    winter Olympics are the best. I enjoyed them so much more before the Berlin Wall and the cold war ended. So much intrigue and mystery then. Also, it was actually the Olympics, all amateurs. The US amateurs couldn't compete with the soviets, so now the Olympics is largely a professional sporting event. Still, it is hell of a lot better than the NFL,, MLB and NBA.Far, far less thug, hood, ghetto, urban BS.

  • I do not think that "ice cross"    cross on ice skates is an Olympic sport....not sure why not. It is wild:  You could have individual and team:

    Love it. I would like to see Oprah tied to a sled and shoved out the starting gate.

    You mean that the US Amateurs could not compete with the Soviet professionals.

    Nascar

    I always start watching it to have something on and then lose interest a few weeks into the season.

    Im forced to hear about big 12 basketball. Baseball too which I could care less about.

    There is a lull and then NFL free agency and then the draft and then the NFL is rolling again. The Browns will be the most interesting team to watch this off season.

    Daytona is coming up I never miss it 

    i used to watch it all the time until they started adding crap tracks (Chicago texas) just to name a few and of course the rule changes like pit row speed and not being able to race back to the line when the yellow came out kinda ruined it for me

    Sometimes they have a Viagra and Depends themed car.

    You should reconsider.

    that's a cool race love watching the brake rotors glow at night there was a time when you had to save your braking for the end of the race now they are made so well you don't have to, totally changed a teams strategy

    350 pounds going that fast into turn 1 might send her up over the wall and into the crowd causing carnage.

    The frames hit the track causes sparks.

    They say its like watching a car race inside arrowhead stadium because the seating is so steep and close to the track. They have a track near me.

    Sounds right up YOUR alley.   Even if I needed that stuff  (and at age 66, I may soon)....why would I care if they were advertised on some racecar?  That just hikes the price up for them astronomically.

    You might save money buying it at the track.

    Autographed too.

    the truck guys raced here years ago quarter mile track and for some dumbass reason the owner thought he could make more money with it as a dirt track (NOPE) guess he didn't figure the upkeep was so spendy it has been closed for awhile now

    Go the the next UT/Va. Tech game they play there.   Now...that was pretty cool.   (I have been by that racetrack.  And even though I don't like racing personally....I begrudge it to no on else.  In fact, I have even taken tours of both  the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Talladega Speedway. I drove around both tracks...in a bus ...err..I mean, I was driven)  Cool sites to see.  I have been outside of the Bristol Speedway, the one in Homestead, and DAytona  (did not go in or tour those however...just passed by them....maybe stopped to take a photo).

    Have you been to Bristol speedway?  As I said, I passed by it and stopped to take a couple of photos.   It does look very small....compared to the others I have seen in like Talladega etc.   It is bowl shaped....and only looked a little bigger than like old Three Rivers or Riverfront stadiums, which it reminded me of.

    Why would I want an autograph on my d-i-c-k medicine?  Maybe if Danica Patrick autographed it with her lips...I could go for that.
