I'd say tennis (funny how I married a tennis player!), lacrosse, and soccer. Swimming/diving and football were popular answers too. One said baseball, which garnered a bunch of moans.

Yeah, you'd be surprised but there are some major cutie ice skaters out there! With all the drama surrounding Allen Iverson right now, I'm hoping that he'll be traded to Denver so he and 'Melo can be on the same team! *swoon*<BR/><BR/>Football just doesn't cut it for me though ;)<BR/><BR/>AmberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165988118537762192006-12-12T21:35:00.000-08:002006-12-12T21:35:00.000-08:00Ironically enough, my hubby isn't a sports fan. He...Ironically enough, my hubby isn't a sports fan. He'll watch baseball, but only if a certain team (don't remember which one) is playing and it's something like the World Series or something. He's more of a kung-fu kind of guy (although he doesn't watch the matches)and loves to watch old kung fu movies (think Bruce Lee). He's very much into martial arts and trained at THE Shaolin Temple in China for a month.<BR/><BR/>I myself LOVE to watch ice skating and since he's in the room with me when I watch it (while he's playing W.O.W, of course), he'll glance at it. As far as guy watching sports for me? Gymnastics. All I have to say is: tight, family-jewel hugging spandex.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't watch it all, but after I saw "The Marine" with WWE wrestler, John Cena, I might be temepted to watch a match if he were fighting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165930713072728962006-12-12T05:38:00.000-08:002006-12-12T05:38:00.000-08:00I was out last night with friends and while one of...I was out last night with friends and while one of them was talking to me I wasn't paying attention because the Bears game was televised right over her head. Sorry, Marilyn! <BR/><BR/>I love football. I was on the Powderpuff flag football team in high school (senior girls vs. junior girls)and I even contemplated sophomore year trying out for the boys football team.<BR/><BR/>I must say I can throw a football pretty well, even get a good spin going on. I impress the guys on my block with my throw.<BR/><BR/>When I was a freshman in high school I applied to be on the waiting list for 4 Bears season tickets. Eight years later my name came up, but they would only release tickets in the end zone so I passed on them. <BR/><BR/>I forgot what year, but the Chicago Bears players were on strike and practiced at our high school instead of at the stadium. When I had gym class outside, I ran around the field and had my poor friends snap pictures of me and the players. This was the super bowl team, too. I have a picture with Walter Peyton, Richard Dent, Mike Tomczak...I'll see if I can upload a picture or two but I'm not good at the uploading thing. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I'm out of the ordinary and a total tomboy who was boy crazy, too.<BR/><BR/>~Simone Elkeles<BR/>How to Ruin a Summer Vacation, in bookstores NOW!<BR/>Leaving Paradise, 4/07<BR/>How to Ruin my Teenage Life 6/07Simone Elkeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307922920459102582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165876007431629412006-12-11T14:26:00.000-08:002006-12-11T14:26:00.000-08:00Yup, I love sports and yes mainly because of the h...Yup, I love sports and yes mainly because of the hotties! But I've watched enough to actually know what's going on (mostly). <BR/><BR/>The hubster and I will watch any sport together. But college football (Go 'Canes), college basketball and pro basketball keeps my interest the most.<BR/><BR/>It's gotten increasingly scary to realize I have crushes on guys who are young enough to be my younger brother.<BR/><BR/>Since Ray Lewis has a stupifyingly hot body, I will sit and watch the Ravens as long as the camera pans to him enough times.<BR/><BR/>And I'm with Tina. I love basketball more than football because I get to see the hotties up close and personal. Though I've gotta give it to you, Jason Taylor is yummy.<BR/><BR/>Two of my fave sport hotties:<BR/>Carmello Anthony - my god his body has gotten ripped in the last year. So young. So hot.<BR/><BR/>Ray Lewis - ahem, the body!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165873806146442402006-12-11T13:50:00.000-08:002006-12-11T13:50:00.000-08:00I met my husband in college when he was playing di...I met my husband in college when he was playing division one football. We met in a bar. I don't even know what division one means still, and it's been 15 years! But, he bought me a beer and shared pizza with me that night we met. That's all it took for me!<BR/><BR/>I could only remember his position on the team because I knew it was a deodorant:<BR/><BR/>RIGHT GUARD.<BR/><BR/>He liked me cuz I didn't care that he played football (Oh, and that I went home with him that night.)MaNiC MoMMy™https://www.blogger.com/profile/14038801888210803955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165859758251396762006-12-11T09:55:00.000-08:002006-12-11T09:55:00.000-08:00Do they have sports for dummies books?Oh, I'm sure...<I>Do they have sports for dummies books?</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, I'm sure they do! Also, just watching and getting to know the rules is good, too. A lot of professional teams (like the Dolphins) hold "classes" (often by the coaches' wives) to educate women on the sport. Funny, at the Dolphins class, they always show the ladies pictures of Jason Taylor.

I have to admit I am a total girly girl and sports really don't hold my attention. I have a feeling that with two boys that is going to change very quickly. My 3 year old is already obsessed with baseball. My husband likes sports, but isn't obsessed and doesn't really sit around watching them a whole lot, just the occasional baseball game. When I lived in Colorado I went to a few hockey games and I really enjoyed those. I loved it when they slammed each other into the glass and it's a pretty easy to figure out that they have to get that little black thing into that big black net. Unfortunately, we don't have hockey much around here. <BR/>Most women, myself included, except men to be interested in the stuff we like, but have a tendency not to reciprocate. Do they have sports for dummies books?<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/>Steph<BR/>www.stephaniehale.comstephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165851096101064612006-12-11T07:31:00.000-08:002006-12-11T07:31:00.000-08:00that guy is gorgeous.that guy is gorgeous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-1165850018316186232006-12-11T07:13:00.000-08:002006-12-11T07:13:00.000-08:00Marley, my husband doesn't watch sports at all, so...Marley, my husband doesn't watch sports at all, so for years, I sat alone on weekends, watching the NBA. Once Michael Jordan retired (the second time), I lost interest, though.<BR/><BR/>My beef about football (besides the fact I still don't understand the rules) is that I can't see the players' faces in those helmets! I can't see their intensity, their grit, which is part of what I love about the NBA, and especially at the free-throw line.<BR/><BR/>Which is not to say I couldn't be converted...but it would take some work.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, your Jason Taylor there is QUITE the hottie.<BR/><BR/>Tina<BR/><BR/>www.tinaferraro.comTinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
