touching a catcher's back

[TussAgee11]

yes, SDS I did.

Adam Petty died when his throttle hung wide open going into a corner. Machine failed.

Kenny Irwin died when a piece of metal from the engine actually broke, came through the cockpit, and sliced him in half. He didn't even die of a wreck. That is freakish.

Thanks for the correction

Thank you! That's what we needed, a dictionary! Great job.

Your never going to get everyone to agree on what a sport is. Hell, some people think mud wrestling and poker are sports.

I think we each have our own opinion on what constitutes a sport.

In my humble opinion I would only allow sports into the Olympics that have no judges. Say goodbye to figure skating, gymnastics, boxing(unless they go until a knockout or TKO), diving, style points in sky jumping, "artistic" snowboarding events, etc.

Having said that though, I would also get rid of the 2-man luge. Any activity where one guy is lying on another and moving together as one is something I don't want to see.

So by that rationale, if I go into my backyard and my son and I try to throw dirt clods into a bucket, it is officially a sport?

I gotta go and contact the IOC and lobby to have dirt-clod tossing in the Beijing games, I am pretty good at it, and I can do our country proud.

If you and I go together, and decide that we should compete on who hits the pole more, it would be a sport!

Some people think making idiotic posts on the internet is good sport.

Takes all kinds.

How about going down to the city dump at night and see who could kill the most rats with a 22 caliber pistol? Bring your own pistol and flashlight or you couldn't play. Damn, I miss those days...
