What kind of sports did you play when you were young?I used to play football with friends from my church every saturday afternoon...

I played Volleyball and Basketball when I was in middle and high school. I love diving, fishing, swimming, anything that has to do with the ocean. Where is your Seahawk's helmet bigcat?

I grew up in Canada and I played all three of these sports all through high school. I played volleyball in University. I represented the province of Ontario for baseball and volleyball - I was on the Ontario team at the Canada Games! Those were the glory days - and I am definately paying for them now!

Drs say all my sports plus bad genes is where all my spine problems come from!

Dancing, cheerleading, swimming, volleyball and was in karate when I got in my accident! Am a good dancer and can still shake it when I feel good! My neck and upper back are the problems, not my booty, so I shake it when I can!

I love football, I have watched it since I was 10-11 years old, so for about 20 years now! Can't do any play calling, but my guy friends call me for fantasy football advice and say I know more than they do, lol! Am a little behind though because I was working on Sundays last season but not this season!! I can't wait for the season to start and am a HUGE Saints fan, I've been one since I was a kiddie!

In my younger days it was FOOTBALL. I was a football fanatic. Played for about 8 seasons,4 in High School, was all county but when I tried out for College Football, boy was that an eye opening! BASEBALL was my next favorite. First Base and Pitcher.
Then as the years went by, it was Softball. Played in several leagues until about the 3rd surgery and I realized I just couldnt do what I did before, so hung up the spikes.
I little golf, but most for riding in the golf cart and having a few beers along the way.
HOCKEY - never played it, but had my son in it from age 6 to about 20. So, we've been in and out of most North England rinks many times.

TEAMS:
I am a New York die hard fan (in priority order)
- Yankees
- Giants
- Islanders
- Mets
- Jets
- Rangers
- Knicks

- And to prove I am not just a NewYork Fan
New England Patriots
Detroit Red Wings
Boston Red Sox (How can a Yankee fan like them? Well I do
Montreal Canadians
Black Uniform (dont know the name , sorry Bruce) Rugby

I need a new basketball team to root for next season,any ideas?

Rugby Tri-Nations kicks off this weekend. This is arguably the pinnacle of world rugby after the rugby world cup. Played for between New Zealand, Australia and South Africa - consistently the top three rugby playing nations in the world (OK, ...waiting for the squeals from England rugby supporters)...

This Saturday sees the New Zealand All Blacks play South Africa in the first match of the series. C'mon All Blacks!

However tennis is not hockey. Cannot wait for season to start.

Its only because I'm such a delicate lady that I enjoy the calmer sports.

Root for the Hornets, if you're talking pro, if you're talking college, then I have several for ya!

Was Anna there?

Are you guys talikng about sports?

FRank Edgar won his UFC match last night. He is from my town, graduated from the same school as my son, and wrestled for the same coach!

My first love was gymnastics. I did it in school, I did it after school and in the park and by the pool. Now I wonder if maybe that is the reason for my crocked spine. Actually, I read in one article that gymnasts often end up with spondilolysthesis. So maybe that is how i got it?

Other than that, I played some tennis, swam, and skied both alpine and cross-country, but I guess I cannot blame my spine troubles on any of these.

One thing I can say for sure is how far overall safety has been incorporated into youth sports.

45 Years ago
Sports for every man's son (sorry gals, not many girls were allowed to play in sports back then). It was a fun time era, lots of family oriented gathering around sports. I remember going to see my father play in softball, my Aunts/Uncles/cousins where there, it picnic time!

40 Years ago
I played Baseball and Football. The emphasis on baseball was to learn the sport and try to play it the best you could. In Football (High school level) it was more about winning, but that was not the only thing. The biggest draw back then was about conditioning and safety.
- We were told to lift as much weights and as fast as we can and do that every day (I still have a bunch of stretch marks to show)
- Nothing about cardiac conditioning or diet or health. I know in my small area of Long Island, in my 4 years there were over 7 high school football players that died during practices.
- Equipment was marginal. My helmet didnt fit me correctly, they had to order a special helmet, but that took 6 games into a season to get.
- Approach to the game. I was told to take my head and smash it into my opponent. Well, I had one time many head to head tackles. I ranked 2nd in the state with 13 concussions over 4 years

25 years ago
My playing days were over, but I coached in many different youth sports. Since I was a victim of improper safety, I stressed that and I also stressed fairness and sportsmanship.
The biggest problems back then were coaches who tried to live their childhood dreams through the kids without respect to the kids. And of course fanatical parents

10 years ago to present
- Safety and Conditioning are key. I visited my high school once and was amazed at the training room. It looked like a professional teams workout room.

Sports are fun, they should be fun all the way until its time that you do it for a living

Will anybody be watching the Olympic games on tv? here is a link to the offical site http://en.beijing2008.cn/venues/nst/
