Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to hell...now here's the kickoff
Gaelic Football and Hurling... gee, I wish I could see some. My old man told me he never saw anything as rough as Hurling (during WWII). Being of Irish descent, I have since desired to see a game, but TV here is pretty limited (New Brunswick, Canada). Hell, we only get one rugby game per week, not live but taped, which I watch faithfully. I've only ever seen Ireland play twice. The problem is, we get games from wherever, whenever, so I can't follow a league or cup quest. Worse, if I log onto, say, rugbyrugby.com to try to follow the stats, I know who's going to win on Sunday. I could get a dish rather than cable, but I live in Moncton and a dish just isn't reliable enough. We only get one Aussie Rules game per YEAR, the GF.. and I missed it last year because they had the wrong time listed in the newspaper TV guide. I was one p***ed off puppy.

Anyway, most are great games, but, if you don't have the time to learn and follow a sport, you'll never truly enjoy it.

I've got money on the Buc's, but not much ! Go Raiders.
