Ask Me Anything that is Related to Sports

[MoseyWalker]

before my eyes fall out from watching tennis.

Go ahead, just try and stump the brain stump!

[trof]

1. OK, in 3000 words or less, please explain cricket.

This sould keep you occupied for most of the rest of the evening.

[MoseyWalker]

2. The crowd gets loud

from all the adult beverages, and the children are sent into the streets to play a version of stickball.

Cricket is a game that involves people, wood and a ball in competition.

It's fascinating, I tell ya!

[trof]

3. Are the wickets ever actually sticky?

Or is this just some kind of euphemism?

[MoseyWalker]

4. I think you might be thinking of

widgets.

Euphemisms have no place in sport.

They are developing better tests for euphemisms every week.

[trof]

22. Absolutely. No place in sports for euphemisms.

I've never heard a sportscaster or seen a sportswriter use one and this is certainly no time to start.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Philidelphia Eagles sure are the team for assholes, aren't they?

[MoseyWalker]

6. I've heard that, but don't know

without a colonoscopy, one can't be sure.

I do predict, however, that the Eagles will finish, once again, in last place in the NFC East. If they do, they will sure look like a bunch of sorry assholes.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. And so will their fans.

I'm looking foward to it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. What is Doubleday's First Law?

[MoseyWalker]

9. Never throw a curveball if you

can throw a spitball.

So sayeth Doubleday.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. *bzzzt*

Doubleday's First Law states, "If you throw a fast ball with insufficient speed, someone will smack it out of the park with a stick."

So sayeth Jim Bouton.

[MoseyWalker]

11. Doh! I was trying to "dodge" the real answer

because, uh, I didn't know!

:toast:

[rug]

12. How many dimples are on one golf ball?

[MoseyWalker]

13. Depends on how happy it is

to find the hole.

(no anthropomorphic reference intended for all you dirty minded folks)

[MoseyWalker]

14. Kick! Get it? uh...........n/t

[reyd reid reed]

15. What's a 'catcher's balk'?

[MoseyWalker]

16. My understanding is

that this occurs when a catcher had a formerly good, and close, relationship with his pitcher, but at a very bad time decides to stand up, put his glove and hand on his hips and yell at the pitcher "I'm not going to take this crap anymore!".

Could be.

[reyd reid reed]

17. LOL!

:rofl:

My guess would be it could also happen following a bad bounce.

My Barrett's probably balking pretty good right about now, and for the foreseeable future...bad bounce landed him in the hospital with...

(You might wanna grab an ice pack and sit down for this one)

...an inter-scrotal hemorrhage suffered from just such a bounce in the fifth inning yesterday.

[MoseyWalker]

18. ooh ooh ow ow ooh ow!

oh man, oh.

No words.

except, of course, ooh ooh ow!

[reyd reid reed]

20. See?

I TOLD you to grab an ice pack. But did you listen? Nooooooooo...

*shakes head*

What am I gonna do with you?

If it helps, they surgically repaired it last night and he might be able to go home today. He's gonna be okay.

Done for the season, though.

*sigh*

[Droopy]

19. How do you think the Bengals are going to do this year?

Will Palmer make a full recovery?

[MoseyWalker]

21. Carson Palmer is already back

Peyton better watch his passer ratings, because Carson is going to bury him this year.

Now, if the rest of the team can just stay out of jail.........

[Droopy]

28. LOL!

I guess them Bengals are getting a little bit of Raider mystique about them with all the bad boy stuff.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

23. Who won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling final today

in Croke Park, Dublin????

Also what team won their 13th North American Senior Gaelic Football title this afternoon in Philadelphia, PA????

I think I got you stumped, Mosey....

[MoseyWalker]

24. I'm not gonna look, but will guess

they are from county Kerry?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

33. Nope, Kilkenny beat Cork in the Hurling Final today.

Cork were going for 3 in a row and Kilkenny spoiled the party. Fair play though, Kilkenny were going for 3 in a row in 2004 and Cork beat them.

Kerry will be playing Mayo in the Football Final on Sept. 17th. I'm hoping for Mayo to win. It's been 55 years since they last had Sam Maguire and let's face it, Kerry's had more than their fair share, 33 at last count.

As for the North American Senior Football Final, the club Mr. Wonderful played for here in Chicago (many moons ago) won today in Philadelphia, the Wolfe Tones. I'm thrilled for them, they really deserved to win it again.

UP MAYO AND UP THE TONES!!!!

:toast: :party: :bounce: :toast: :party: :bounce:

[Maestro]

25. Should curling be considered a sport?

I've always wondered. :shrug:

[MoseyWalker]

27. Well, it already is, so

for Canadian men/women and teenage american girls, it is not only a sport, it is a lifestyle.

[Maestro]

29. Good point.

I bow down to your ultimate sports knowledge.

[Ptah]

26. Which marching band performed for the first Super Bowl

The National Football League (NFL) champion Green Bay Packers scored 3 second-half touchdowns en route to a 35–10 win over the American Football League (AFL) champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr earned the very first Super Bowl MVP in NFL history by throwing 16 of 23 for 250 yards and two touchdowns.

[MoseyWalker]

30. Hah!

There was no marching band. Up With People sang and danced, and pretty much chased everyone out of the stadium.

Only someone named "lonely Bob" saw the second half. And no one trusts him when he says Tulsa won.

[Ptah]

31. Double hah.

The entertainment of Super Bowl I pales in comparison to the performances featured in the Super Bowls of today. Instead of performances by the top contemporary singers and musicians, the first Super Bowl featured American trumpeter Al Hirt, and the marching bands of University of Arizona and University of Michigan. <1>

[MoseyWalker]

32. Al Hirt and the marching bands

were probably really great!

:thumbsup:

[NJ Democrats]

34. How many WS have the Yankees' won, how many pennets,

when was the 1st pennent 1st WS, last WS, last penned, and when will the next be (both)?

[MoseyWalker]

37. The Yankees never won a pennant

or a championship.

they were all given to them out of a sense of pity.

[Joe Fields]

35. who did Cassius Clay beat to get to Sonny Liston?

[MoseyWalker]

36. Herb Whiffle

it was embarrassing, and pretty much the fight has been wiped from history. Few, if any, remember.

[Nye Bevan]

38. Who will the Mets play against

in this year's World Series?

And will they win?

[MoseyWalker]

39. The Mets will play

a bunch of people who have feet.

Will they win? I say count the number of toes on all those feet. Whoever causes an odd number to happen will cause their team to lose.
