I feel like I would like basketball if I ever got a chance to get into it.

It's basically the same as hockey.

They're both very personal sports, every 1 player matters more in basketball than in most other sports.

Guys I am the lowest weight now that I can actually remember. I think I weigh the same now as I did maybe in high school?

I think in 1-2 months I'll hit the 100 lbs lost landmark.

Today is a good day.

You recall this living nightmare, you take comfort in its familiar pain. You smell fermentation and can hear a dull, unending beeping. Someone shouts in a language you do not know.

Were you taking about Nascar or actual auto racing before as being exciting?

I am grouping NASCAR/Indy/F1/rally/24h le mans/motocross/outlaws as auto racing.

They are completely separate from drag racing.

I would probably split them up more. To me, I can see the appeal some auto racing. It's just not something I'm personally interested in. But Nascar and Drag racing are exceptions to that. Rally is probably the one I can appreciate the most.

Rally is great but it is hardly a spectator sport.

More in the sense that the spectator will never be able to see the entire event, but only the (albeit dangerously exhilarating) action near them.

this is actually something I dislike about watching racing in person in general. At least drag allows you to see the whole thing.

Well if being seated excludes racing as a sport, then I guess bobsledding is out as well.
