There are countless sports out there but honestly there are only a handful that we tend to watch on television.  For me it’s basketball, baseball, football, tennis majors, and golf majors.  I mean sure on a boring Sunday I might watch one frame of bowling.   And of course during the Olympics I’ll be tuning in.

But in general I don’t pay much attention to other sports.  Maybe I’m brainwashed or maybe I just think most sports are somewhat boring to watch on TV.

In any event there are some sports that definitely wouldn’t make my television schedule but are certainly worth watching in person.   There are five I’d like to mention….

I’m nearly 33 years old now and I probably couldn’t tell you one wrestler that was out there.   I think John Cena is still around right?  The point is, I just don’t care anymore and I think it’s a function of my place in life more than anything else.    Because I’ll fully admit the guys today are better athletes than the dudes in my youth.

However if it doesn’t make me completely nostalgic to think about the WWE or then the WWF back in the 80s. As a kid it just felt so real.

Anyway, upon reflection, here are my 10 favorite wrestlers from back then….

I know that we’re still about a month away from the coveted Superbowl but that doesn’t mean we can’t start mentally preparing for it.    Hell I’m excited for it.  Aren’t you guys?  Only thing that sucks is that by the time we reach the game we’ll probably have had about 6 blizzards and I’ll be so tired of shoveling that the game will be in my rear view thinking process.

Still though, nothing wrong with getting together our little wish lists for those throwing Superbowl parties.

Here are seven things you should be looking for this year….

Let me start off by saying from a medical standpoint, yet I think the use of PEDs are horrible.  I think that people stuffing themselves with these kinds of pills, hormones, acids, or whatever the hell crap there is, flat out makes very little sense.

On the other hand we’re talking about multi million dollar contracts and a ton of pressure to perform at the professional level.   I can understand the mentality of wanting to be the best or trying to set yourself up financially.   It’s the whole ‘breaking the rules’ part that tends to get the whole sports world.

But what if the door was wide open?  What if one day everyone just said, “do what you want, we don’t care!”   What if this were all legal?  It would sure as hell level out the playing field from those that hide it and those that are honest.

And then there are the other obvious benefits, five of which I’d like to address….

This is a sensitive subject but one that I think deserves some analysis.   When you really get down to it, how exciting are sports to watch?  And please remember, this article is going to focus on watching sports on TV, not live.   Live is a completely different experience.

For example, let’s take hockey.   Even hockey fans have to admit that watching on television can be a bit boring whereas if you’re at the game it’s an amazing thrill.  The same can be said for other sports as well.   Baseball immediately comes to mind.

But when it comes to television, it’s tough for me or many sports fans to be able to pay attention throughout the whole game.   So I decided to rank sports into 3 tiers in terms of which ones are most exciting to watch on TV….

This post is a pretty sweet piece written by my boy Chris over at one of our other sites Unathletic.  I’ve decided to share it with all of you today.

When Chris said  “Our Generation”, he was talking about sports fans in their mid-twenties to early thirties.   The idea behind this article is simple. Chris was having a conversation with a colleague about the sports teams he roots for, and he always mentioned that he was extremely blessed to be growing up during one of their amazing runs.  Those days have long since passed.

I’m sure some of you know what we’re talking about here.   You’ve been a part of a period of 4-5 years when your team was winning multiple championships and always making it to the dance.  They are the best times to be a fan, but as we all know it’s not all roses all the time.

Here are some of the best championship runs of our generation…..

This was a post that was featured on one of our sister sites Unathleticmag.   It was written by Norty and he deserves credit which is why we’re posting it on here.

As you all might know, the Green Bay Packers sold stock to the public for the fifth time in their 92-year history. The stock gives fans the opportunity to own a piece of the defending champions, undefeated through 12 games this season, but is unlike traditional U.S. common stocks. Ownership in the Packers confers voting rights, but the shares offer no dividend, no chance for appreciation, practically no transfer rights and not even a shot at a highly prized season ticket.

Anyway, let’s say you could actually benefit from being an “owner” of a particular team. If that was the case, and all teams offered stock, here’s who we would buy…

2011 has been a great year for scandals, humor, controversy, and triumph in the world of sports.   As always there’s gonna be some heartache.  As always there will be some surprises.   And as always we’ll be entertained by all that’s happened.

Here’s a look at 7 of what I consider to be the top sports stories of this year….

The NBA’s officially back starting Christmas Day. Since Santa’s stuffing the players into our stockings, there’s only one way to thank Jolly Ol’ Nick… By tossing him an assist on why we’re actually stoked to get those overpaid and complaining millionaires back on the court.

Let’s face it, you’ve still got work to do on that jumper, so the best thing that can happen is letting the professionals handle the ball, while we pay $8/beer and sit in the nosebleeds.
