lol, I could go on all day my friend, but I think that's as close to you capitulating as I'm gonna get.
I WILL add that I'm not holding a grudge against the NHL. I just refuse to say they have a great product when they don't.
To put my feelings and RATIONAL thinking into perspective for you, even though I HATED the Oilers of the 80's with a passion, they WERE entertaining to watch. That's an obviously unbiased opinion, and one you seem to be having a hard time grasping.
Fuck it, I'll even add this. Prior to last year Chris, I thought hockey players were the most well conditioned athletes in the world besides soccer players. Now, I've NEVER been a fan of basketball...probably because being a short, white man isn't exactly condusive to success in the sport (Steve Nash being a rare exception). However, I spent last year watching a good amount of basketball and even though the Raptors were not a great team the game itself was, and the endurance of the players was utterly amazing.
And there isn't anything I can think of that's more exciting in sports than March Madness. Those kids are playing with such passion in front of a crowd with the same passion, that it's almost impossible not to get caught up in it, AND start to appreciate the game.
