Spent Father’s Day between the grill and the couch. OK, mostly the couch.
Instead of another tacky tie for a gift, I let dear ol’ dad man the remote control. Went something like this:
U.S. Open … Rangers … U.S. Open … World Cup … Rangers … U.S. Open … zzzzzzz.
Got me to thinking about the most boring sports on TV. Which, not surprisingly, led me to construct a Top 10 list.
10. Marathon – Watch someone else run for four hours? No thanks.
9. Baseball – No biggest time-waster in sports than the pitcher’s calling-card throw to first.
8. Golf – Sometimes you can trick yourself into thinking a guy looking for a golf ball in high weeds is riveting.
7. Soccer – Shouldn’t a pass backward to the goalie be a delay of game?
6. Auto racing – I don’t get cheering for the cleanest-running carburetor.
5. Bowling – Blubbery beer guts performing repetitive acts.
4. Women’s basketball – Sorry, but I watch sports to see things I can’t do, not chest passes, set shots and form layups I’ve done all my life.
3. Curling – What the what?!
2. Poker – Wearing sunglasses indoors while sitting and fibbing to the guy next to you.
1. Fishing – The way I see it, getting a fish to eat a worm is no more impressive than getting your dog to eat a piece of bacon.
