The Gipper Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 This may be the ONLY day of the year that other sports take overall preference over the NFL. The NCAA championship game is on tonight. And this is opening day for the Cleveland Indians. Is there any other day of the year where there is a convergence of non football important sporting events?

secondwave Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 HA. Not sure how big the world cup is in the states, but its casts a month-long shadow over everything here in Canada. Even hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 hockey, i mean soccer is starting to catch on here BUT today is opening day for baseball, which is this country's national 'past time'. then we have the college basketball national championship tonight as well. add the world cup to that as far as viewership is concerned and it couldn't bite the nads of the NFL super bowl i'm guessing, here in the states. worldwide is different. but we don't care about worldwide of course, unless it's time to come save some sorry pussy country from annihilation.

calfoxwc Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Soccer is a silly sport that wishes it could be real football. Hockey is ice rugby, and rugby is an unorganized free for all clusterfook. FOOTBALL rocks as the ultimate team sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wargograw Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Watching other sports only makes me realize how much I love football. It's crazy how I'm not really a sports fan in general (apathy to sports runs on the family) but am absolutely nuts about the pigskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Let's not forget Lacrosse, Cricket, Croquet, And beach volley ball. More people watch the NFL draft then the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 This may be the ONLY day of the year that other sports take overall preference over the NFL. The NCAA championship game is on tonight. And this is opening day for the Cleveland Indians. Is there any other day of the year where there is a convergence of non football important sporting events? Baseball passes time until football starts. One down, only another 161 meaningless boring games to follow. I fail to see how the first one is more "special"- it does interrupt my regular ESPN radio feed, broadcasting the Cincinnati Deads- which I don't give a Rat's ass about. So count me POed on that account. The station gets immediately switched. Too bad Puke won- I had the game taped, and I deleted it without watching. Let's not forget Lacrosse, Cricket, Croquet, And beach volley ball. More people watch the NFL draft than the World Series. You speak the truth.

miktoxic Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 i'm surrounded by yankee and met fans. to see a couple of indian games a year on reg espn or whatever is a gift. today was an embarrassment for half my friends acting like it was the first day they ever had a hot dog off the grill, drunk by noon. pleez. on a saturday night into sunday morn football game these mugs couldn't hang with me. baseball and golf are great on low volume in the enclosed porch. only thing that wakes me up is the ass hole that decides to mow his lawn at 8pm.

gftChris Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Outside the US, the world cup is bigger than pretty much anything. Inside, no idea. Olympics? not sure how big that is there, probably not huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well for us, brought some good youngsters through and got us scoring and winning at home again. Judge him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Nope, if we go down it will be fully deserved. We'd lose Benteke, Vlaar & Delph, but honestly, who else would the vultures be circling for? We really need to rebuild, rather than just fire-fighting to stay above water.

I feel pretty confident that Villa will stay up. Vlaar is likely gone either way. On the plus side, Bent has shown that he can kill it in the Championship if the worst happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both out of contract at the end of the year, both need to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given's nearly a pensioner isn't he? There's still quite a bit of quality on the team. Far more that the results indicate anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Lambert was actually a decent judge of talent, when you look at the players he brought in - Benteke, Vlaar, Gil, Okore, Westwood, Sanchez etc. Anyone he could spend more than £2m on looks pretty decent. He just couldn't get the team playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
