    I'd ask him about the PBR but I'm guessing he doesn't think strapping oneself to a bull is a sport either. Judges combined score derived from 50 for bull bucking and 50 for the cowboy staying in the middle.

    You're catching on grasshopper. On the other hand, the least physical activity there is, darts, is a sport because even though you may be holding a beer in one hand and darts in the other you have to outscore your opponent by a specified set of rules to win. Pool is also a sport.
    Swimming is a sport. Diving is not.

    I ran into a friend one time on the morning of the Superbowl. When I asked him who he liked he said "If it don't use a gun or a rod and reel it ain't a sport."

    Sports Illustrated had a story about chess players in an issue some time back. Even though it was featured in a sports magazine I can't consider chess a sport. The only physical skill most players use is lifting their hands to make a move, but even that minimum of activity is not really necessary. A deaf, dumb and blind quadriplegic could be a chess master.

    The only scoring in gymnastics is when those bull dyke coaches make it with one of their 12 year olds

    r

    Totally arbitrary. It's like saying I scored higher because I say I scored higher. I win-you lose. Go watch a gymnastics event. The contestants are all good. What makes one better than the other? When you watched the Super Bowl you knew the Patriots had won as soon as they scored the TD in OT. In gymnastics nobody knows who won until a group of judges tell you.

    Funny you bring him up. His mechanic (when he was racing) lived in the adjacent neighborhood to us growing up. He would always ride in the cane field in front of the house. He actually rode for a short time on the circuit but ended up as Kevin's mechanic.
