Pick a Sport

[ripken8]

This past weekend I sat ringside for a local boxing matches ran by Roy Jones JR. He was there and I was right next him pretty much all night. Great guy, very cool with fans taking pictures and signing autographs, and yes I got one too. He's still in pretty good shape.

That begs my question, and many of you know I played small college basketball on full ride, but if I could pick a sport that I would have loved to participated in, it would have been boxing or now the UFC/MMA.

I just want to know what it feels like to be sitting back in locker room waiting to be called out to a song of your choice (Lunatic Fringe or Eminence Front for me). Making that walk to the ring, and taking yourself to a place mentally that no man can relate, and or to a point of no return and for lack of a better word KILL. Sure I had some fun playing for championships or in front a big crowds for me or at that level, but damn just seeing these fighters this past weekend in front of just 2000 fans maybe and being ringside to feel it was such a fucking rush for me. Wish I could go back and at least give it a shot.....

Whats your sport and why?

I figured you would go with bowling like your buddy Ponch ? :SIB

Coached the Louisville Michigan Meltdown and Team Rival Junior Roller hockey team from 1994 to 1999, won 5 national championships. Had 2 NHL players on the team when they were younger. Andrew Hutchinson (Pitt Penguins) Mike Van Ryn (Toronto-retired) David Legwand (Nashville) played only 2 games and many college players including my son. Did a lot of traveling playing in national tourneys, we had a blast.

Wish it could be baseball but I sucked at athletics. Only saving grace I had was quickness but nothing else. Second choice would be a pro surfer like Kelly Slater but was born with no balance either. :facepalm: :sadwave:
