    Yes WWII had VE day and VJ day and I'm a big WWII buff and couldn't tell you either of them for sure.

    Now back to sports, but some of these side trips can be interesting.

    Just off the top of my head:  VE Day was like May 5th or 6th.

    VJ Day was like August 8th.  (both 1945)

    Now I will look them up to see how close I came. 

    Edit:   OK...I was close:    VE Day was May 8, 1945.   VJ Day was August 14, 1945.

    A bomb dropped on Hiroshima  August 6th.....then the next one on Nagasaki on Aug. 9th.

    Kind of amazing some remember 11/11 at 11 am but WWII didn't have the same finish line type dates and times, maybe because it was so spread out all over the world and not just in one theatre of operation. 

    Also many WWII guys like my dad and father-in-law just wanted to come home not talk about it and go to work. Getting raised through the Great Depression had something to do with it.... I think. Total war is never fun.

    Easy..... Supercross. In fact, I'm headed down to San Diego this Saturday for round round 6 with five of my buddies.

    Saturday nights, live on FS1 and even Fox itself........ You think football players are tough? You haven't seen tough until you watch Supercross. 

    I don't like Motorized sports....but I do like "cross" when it is done on like  snow boards or ice skates:

    I know that "driving to the hoop" (LMAO), "going across the middle" or "laying out for a fly ball" (LMFAO) is totally radical to some, so I'll just leave real radical here........... (he gets up and finishes his run)

    I said I don't care for MOTORIZED sports.    There was no motor on that bike that I could see. 

    So, your ASSumption was completely wrong.  There was no ball in the ice cross, snowcross etc. either.

    Yes...he is the motor....so...ergo...it is non-motorized.  They have 4 different kind of biking events in the Olympics:   track,  road race,  BMX, and Mountain biking.   All good.  But no motors. 

    The only kind of motorized racing I would have much interest in would be like  Rocket Ship racing.    First ship to Mars wins.

    Since were talking watch some NBA, scouting combine, the the draft. Skiing at the Olympics.  BTW, my math says LeBron will need around 5 seasons averaging 20 PPG to catch Kareem. He might do it if he stays healthy.

    NO NFL, NCAA and NO MLB yet so what are you sports nuts watching? It's that major sports lull period for me. 😐

    The "Cadiverliers" are in tailspin although LBJ won a game at the buzzer yesterday - I'm no hoops guy EXCEPT for MARCH MADNESS I'm all in there.

    Thank goodness for the Olympics that start tonight! Thought for a while it might be the NK vs SK missile throwing contest, lol.

    I've been watching "m" vs THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY BUCKEYES lately on ESPN CLASSICS. 

    Golf, sock-her, even hockey can be boring I'd rather watch kids playing in the street......if you can find any, they're all inside playing video games.....no wonder they'll never leave home.

    SO WHAT AM I MISSING ON TV? DON'T SAY THE NETWORK SIT-COMS OR REALITY TV, they stink!

    You are obsessed with gay sex more than gay people are. 

    Usually people who spend so much time railing on about homosexuality, like Mike Pence, and... well... you, usually are found out loooooooooooving the schlong.
