Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

You are not alone. I detest football. I think it is a dangerous sport. I don't hate sports in general. I like basketball and solo sports like ice skating, gymnastics, and diving.  

 

No Super Bowl for me.

If it is any consolation @cherry there was an entire category for Sports on Jeopardy the other day. Not one single question was answered by all 3 of the contestants. They all drew a blank.

 

My husband and I are not sports fans. We will be the only people in the mall today. LOL My children love football and my daughter often has Superbowl Parties. My son just got into it the past ten years and is involved in Fantasy Football.

 

My 5 year old grandson loves the sport and knows more than his granny does. My daughter, will not allow him to participate though. I am waiting to see how well that is going to go over in a few years.....

Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

No judgement from me. I enjoy sports, because you don't know how it will end. There are so many variables, it can go either way. I'm a lifelong NY. Giants fan, and try never to miss a game. One of my good friends was never into sports, and could never understand my interest. The low and behold she went to a Hockey game and became a rabid fan. I said who are you and what have you done to Barb ? LOL

@cherry  If you are the Lone ranger than I am Tanto Woman LOL b/c ITA agree.  I think sports (Professional especially) are boring and pointless...just money making nonsense.  I do like sports for kids...to get them moving and learn teamwork and how to be  "gracious" winners and losers.

Re: I think I am the Lone Ranger

I was raised in a NASCAR family, so that's the only 'sport' (I know, some people think it's not), that I was exposed to when I was growing up.

 

I had Dale Earnhardt, Sr.'s #3 with wings tattooed on my ankle when he died.

 

But I don't care for the 'new breed', so don't follow that anymore.

 

I do like the Olympic gymnastics.

 

But DH? He watches anything involving a ball/puck/wheels of any kind, LOL!

Not a sports fan, so tonight we are going to see Dial M for Murder at the University of Delaware.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I am interested in watching Pink sing the Star Spangled Banner but that is it. So not a Sports fan here either.  Dh will going to the SB party by himself.


@spud188

 

TMZ is reporting that she may not be able to perform due to the flu.

 

P!nk's got the flu -- the nasty flu that's been spreading and intensifying this season -- and her illness could keep her from singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Super Bowl Sunday.

 

Sources close to Super Bowl LII production tell TMZ ... P!nk had a really tough time making it through her rehearsal Thursday night. We're told it didn't go smoothly ... and everyone involved didn't feel good when it was over.

 

There's more cause for concern too -- P!nk managed to power through her pre-Super Bowl concert Friday at The Armory in Minneapolis ... but had to rely to backup singers and the audience often to sing for her.

 

She even had to cut off her track "Beautiful Trauma" shortly after starting, telling the crowd, "I can't do it. I hate this ... I can't do that song. I'm sorry."

 

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
