Whats your 2nd Sport

Ladies tennis!

And especially Ana Ivanovic!

She's so hot it's a wonder her raquet doesn't catch fire!

Ice Hockey, sadly not much in the way of local stuff around here since the demise of the Eagles so it's NHL mostly, Go Flyers, although I does mean I get to arrange wee trips over to see games.

Also like F1 & basketball

Agree with you Argyle! Its one tough sport! Aussie rules don't wear pads or helmets but NFL is tougher than it!
Ive been to a couple of NFL games and college games and when you see how big they are in real life without their pads on....they are huge and the hits would hurt with pads on!!!!

And?? You think the pads protect against hits like that? Thats pretty ignorant!

They are like boxing gloves, introduced to protect against lacerations but actually resulted in allowing harder hits and greater injuries!

To be fair I was ignorant myself and did think like you until I played on the UCLA practice squad back in my year abroad and a guy 6'8 and 350 pounds/24 stone completely ripped my body in two! So much for the pads!

the do hurt, especially when your not expecting it. I played wide reciever for bolton bulldogs (at under 18's level) and remember jump to recieve a pass and while in the air the bastard caught me carried me about 10 yards back then slammed me on my upper back/neck, it was agony.

the final straw was when my mate had his knee snapped back the wrong way.....that was terrible
