Badminton can be fiercesome.

CROQUET!!!!!! I think I've mentioned this before.....

Bumpy/rough/hilly terrain.....1 a.m....totally dark outside.....about a 12 pack running through my blood.....playing croquet....

Definitely had some bruised shins and sore toes the next day.

:( :rolleyes:

Croquet.....Interesting.....

You may be right ....

Beer X Large Hammers X Big Balls X Spike Thingys X Drunk friends = Trouble:D


ummmm........What about drunkin Lawn Darts :confused:

Fighting - espescially ground fighting and grappling- is a heck of a lot more physically and mentally demanding than any team sport I've ever played. Granted, some fights only last a couple of minutes or even less than a minute, but during a prolonged fight you'll use and usually exhaust every major muscle in your body. And if you're not a good strategist, then you can get yourself into some pretty sticky situations. You have to anticipate your opponents next move and think of a way to counter it before it happens. You have to avoid putting yourself into a position that will give your opponent any opportunities. That's a lot more thinking than takes place in Aussie rules football and it's a lot more difficult to learn and implement martial arts than it is to memorize a list of rules, run, kick, and catch a ball. And, if you disagree, find a local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu institute and get on the mat with the begginners for 10 minutes straight.

Yup and I could not of said it better myself!!!! That has to be one of my top three if not the #1


I also agree with you here too

I could not agree more with this statement. A friend of mine was an instructor at Bushi Ban Karate Do in Deer Park for a while. We used to grapple for practice, keep in mind I was playing football and lifting weights every day at this time. I have never participated in a sport that was more physically and mentally demanding than grappling, and I've played quite a few sports.

Whole-herd cow tippin! Bulls included.

Hmmmm, true, but if you line them up right, you can use the domino effect and get them all at once! ;)

I'll never forget the night we were all in the garage working on one of the Mustangs and my then 15-year old told me with this surprised look on his face "you really can knock em over like that"
"And you know this how?" was my reply. I think he just figured out there's a down side to the sport. . . . or at least tellin your dad about it.

LOL!!
