I like Lacrosse! It's a milder version of hurling and I really like hurling.

I used to subscribe to Setanta Sports so I could watch European sports like soccer (the real football), rugby, Gaelic Football, hurling and Australian rules football.

Setanta sold out to Fox Sports and all they show is soccer (the real football) and rugby. I miss the other sports.

There are only two women sports I'll take the time to watch. Softball and lacrosse. Fun game, lacrosse.

Anyway, we don't have professional lacrosse teams, as far as I know. When soccer (the real football) is the most watched sport in the world, you just know corporations and TV stations will find way to promote it here. It's a matter of dollars which is why the NFL and MLB want to expand overseas.

When I travel overseas, people tell me they don't like American sports because there isn't any flow to the game. Too many time outs and tv commercials. They like hockey, good flow. They tell me basketball has a decent flow but it still takes too long to play. They like American football but they hate how there isn't a flow to the game. The clock continuously stops.

My Cocks are up 3-0 in the second!
