Nothing is more confusing than pulling off two consecutive takings of the blade (or whatever you are pleased to call that) in order to get a shot at the toe.

(Yeah, so I've fenced more than one weapon. Sue me.)
My brief curiosity about fencing is turning into an all-out infatuation.... It sounds like chess, only lightning-fast and with weapons (thus making it more awesome than chess, obviously).....

Man, were talking about fencing a lot. I don't fence, but my friend Hazakura (his username online) he fenced for a couple years I think.

I'm a massive cricket fan. Before anyone makes a smartass reply to this about how boring they think it is, know in advance that I don't give a giant purple flying toss.

Go Proteas!

That's a frighteningly accurate analysis.

To readers: in this thread you can talk about sports, which ones you like (please keep it to this), and if you play, what positions. For instance, I play OT in football and I also like hockey. You can also make jokes about sports or say something about other sports.
I guess because actual athleticism is so niche in gaming you can make five different thread topics one. That's kind of offensive actually. If you want a sports joke thread start one, if you want to talk about the sports everyone plays, there's another thread, the sports games a person likes, the sports TV they watch... all diffeent threads. The lack of focus must be because you don't play soccer (hey , is that a sport joke?)

Well I suppose I should clarify:
I play D line in American Football, which I think I shall now refer to as pigball(cause of the pigskin footballs that they don't make anymore)

I don't no why anyone would think cricket is boring, my brother played it with some friends and he said it was so much fun. Also I think I could have heard that a lot of people get hurt in it, but I could be mistaken.

A lot of people get hurt in it? Are you being ironic? The occasional guy gets walloped in the balls, I suppose...

1 year removed Texas highschool football player OT,Center,and Guard lettered. Miss it. Love football with everything i got. Had D1 offers blew out knee, got surgery, got infected, got offers dropped from me. So goes life but hey other than that im good. Practice conditioning was 7 down back down across the field gasers but if we didnt execute well coach made us run and if our kicker was doing shitty we ran more for that. Off season conditioning were 2 800's around the track, 4 400's, 2 200's, and 4 100 sprints all of which were after agility box jumping, jump rope, stair running/hopping and bear crawl and footwork drills and crap like that. this junk sucked. Then we had lifting after that. Followed by 20 min of abs. Not bad unless your fat like me.

I hate bear crawls and gasers so much
