Probably Gridiron, since it's the one I understand the most.

Yeah American Football for me. I grew up playing it and it is easily the sport that I understand the most.

Soccer. It's the best sport in the world. Second is hockey. Everything else is pedestrian.

I like surfing.

I love rock climbing. The overall level of fitness and endurance required is pretty high, but it has something for everyone and isn't that competitive. The sense of exposure when you're halfway up a cliff is one of the biggest buzzes on the planet, no drug can come close (unless you take drugs while climbing, which isn't recommended).

I'd really like to get into climbing 'big walls' (800ft+, multi-day climbs e.g. El Capitan in Yosemite), but it costs a lot and the closest big walls to me are in Norway. Maybe when I'm older and have saved up some more.

Pic related, it's a portaledge, basically a foldable table that you sleep on when climbing big walls.

>>14226 the mother fucker punch through a glass pane into a metal fire extinguisher got stitches.

A few years ago Duncan Keith got blasted in the face by a hockey but and lost a bunch of teeth, only to return to the game. Stoudemiere is a pussy.

missed the word "puck"

>>14260
Stoudamire was in the next game and did fucking awesome with Melo, your point is invalid.

>>14282
Well, that's not accurate. He missed game 3 and took 4-5 days to heal.

In fairness, I posted about it the day he injured his hand, before any of the pictures showing how bad the cut actually was were released. Like you pointed out it doesn't really matter anymore as he looked fine in game 4.

>>14245

I heard he shot him self in the chest so they could donate his brain to research.

>>14246

I don't think he is the only football player to commit suicide who wanted their brain left to scientific research. As I mentioned before, these guys get their brain smacked around so much it's a mystery what actually happens to them to cause so many cases of depression, from star to nobodies and all in between.

>>14246
>>14247 I'm not doubting that rattling your brain around like that wouldn't fuck some shit up. I found some articles about Seau's family donating Junior's brain for study. But players going out of their way to shoot themselves in the chest just for the sake of science? I find this most ponderous.

>>14239
I don't know what the odds would be of someone making the NFL AND getting struck by lightning but it must be astronomically low.

>>14250

>. But players going out of their way to shoot themselves in the chest just for the sake of science? I find this most ponderous.

You are thinking to much into it. He obviously was going to kill himself, he probably just thought to leave his brain intact before he did it. Maybe he even heard about the other guy who did it, and it isn't even just a coincidence.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU DERRICK WHY

This was supposed to be the year they got over the hump...

Goodbye Bulls post season. I held out some faith, but it just isn't gonna happen. Shitty deal. :|

NOAH TOO WHAT THE FUCK

I was really disappointed when Rose was ruled out. Bulls vs. Heat would have been a great series, and I think it would have gone to seven and Bulls would come out on top. Fuck, now the Heat just get to prance right into the finals with little to no competition. The fact that this had to happen to Rose and not to that whiny, flopping, little prick LeBron just... sucks. Get well Rose.

Camanachd is pretty brutal, I've seen people get battered playing it.

>>13858

Cage fighting, but where an actual "game" is played...probably rugby

Jai Alai s probably the most dangerous

MMA in general is pretty brutal, but you should check out Rio Heroes. No gloves, no rules, and pretty decent fights. Also: bare knuckle Muay Thai.

ya /mma/ has it brutal moments

boxing. people go down too quickly in MMA. the gloves allow them to beat each other round after round without getting knocked out.

>>14262

When he fights Pacman, I'll care about Money

>>14265

If only lol.

and as i expected, Alvarez v Mosley was a damn good fight.

:O/ What's this now?

>>14203
You know, I guess I can see why this would be a good board to troll, seeing how slow it usually is. SeVeN will clean this up eventually though.

Good show! nb

wtf

Hand it to them for winning but i suppose when you park the bus for 70 minutes you've got to hope that you'll win.
Barca seemed sussed out tonight, no other option apart from their flair passing and it just wasn't Messi's night. They definitely need to invest in another large forward after Ibrahimovic, too many long balls were just flying over Barca heads.
Chelsea are going to have a tough match regardless of who they get pitted against; no Terry, no Ivanovic, no Ramires, no Meireles, no Luiz, no Cahill (depending on his injury). With no recognised centre-halfs it's going to be a lot to handle.
Still hoping for a Chelsea-Bayern final.

>my face when torres scored

Yes, got my wish. An English-German final, brilliant.
Now for Bayern to kick Chelsea's arses and it's all dandy.
Pic related, when Neuer saved Ronaldo's penalty.

>>14179
when Ramo's fucked up his shot, that made my day. seriously, he sent that fucking ball to the mooooon

>>14180
Ramos'. no bump

>>14095
If you've watched any of the games he's played in you'd see that he's hit plenty of go-ahead/ game winning shots this year and throughout his career.

>>14097
I'm a 76ers fan, so I have seen a few games throughout his career, and I'd stop short of calling him clutch....

He's not a bad player, he's a good roleplayer, and a great shooter... but I wouldn't say he's clutch... Not in the sense that, say, Kobe Bryant is clutch, or even Dwyane Wade. With time running down and I need a bucket to tie/go ahead, I'm not feeling super warm and fuzzy if Kyle Korver is my best hope...

Maybe if he's wide open (which is how he scores a bulk of his points) I feel better... but in a playoff situation, where no one is gonna leave him wide open to hit a jumper without at least a hand in his face, I'm not feeling real warm and fuzzy...

Don't take this the wrong way... I'm not hating by any means... I just wouldn't define him as clutch. Clutch is something intangible, not to be defined with stats and numbers... and Korver just isn't a clutch, closer type player in my eyes.

>>14099
And yeah... I forgot to even point out that double overtime buzzer beater he put up against the Celtics back in like 05 or 06 (can't really remember)...

Now THAT was clutch... but he's just not that guy night in night out for me. Just a personal opinion.

Knicks are horrible

>>14125
yeah i don't understand why. Carmelo got his shit back but its like going to the knicks makes all other allstars and veterans play like suit all of a sudden (stoud, chandler, smith, davis, bibby) and why the fuck does fields start?

>>14126

According to Flyers’ head coach Peter Laviolette, Giroux approached him prior to yesterday’s game and said, “I don’t know who you plan on starting tonight, but I want that first shift.”

Vid related. Game was over after that first shift.

Feels good man...

>>14151
dirty hit, at least on the end where he sorta 'pushed off' on Crosbys face. Not surprised though. Giroux is a good player though.

why is the hockey thread so big oh yeah canadians smoke weed every day 420 bro spark it up maryjane my wife lel

>>14194
lol pussy... that check is clean as fuck. Didn't leave skates, wasn't interference, wasn't roughing, wasn't cross-checking, how the fuck can you say that was dirty? Name the proper penalty please, sir.
