Golf for sure but tennis and pool are close seconds. In the other sports you mentioned (except motogp I suppose) there is very little "honor" in the strict sense of the word.

It's tough up there in the bigs. They violate rules intentionally and are trained on how to get away with it. Pitchers don't mind throwing at your head with possibly serious harm as a result.

Defensive linemen wouldn't mind at all putting the opposing QB out for the game, the season for the career for that matter and would be cheered wildly by their fans if they did. (of course, those fans would applaud politely has the guy gets rolled off in a stretcher.

I'm not complaining about the above and am a major sports fan, sports fans...just tellin' it like it is.

Regards,
Jim

I will never forget this Texan girl I knew when I was working at this clothing store while I was in college. She said to me in her Texan drawl,

"Jude, do you know why the Cowboys' stadium has a hole in the roof?"

I had no idea where this was going but went along and said, "no".

"So God can watch his team play."


God is a Cowboys fan. How do you respond to that when you're a Bills fan?

Geez... a fun question was thrown out, and we were all having fun answering and stepping into a fantasy world for just a second of our day. I guess we could look at things your way, but at least for me, I was just trying to enjoy myself for a minute.

(Plus, maybe the OP can clarify, but I dont think that's the type of "honor" he was referring to... I think it was more like "for the glory of it")

But either way, I hope someone hugs you today.

Can I play first base?? That's the ultimate dream for me... always has been. (it won't matter that I am 5'1 and right handed!) Yay, I like this dream:-)

What kind of dream is that? There is only one dream... the sacred position of Shortstop.

Corvette has shortstop. I'm at 3rd and Londini is playing first. You can have the sacred position of 2nd base if you want to remain in the infield.

You've GOT to be kidding right? I just expressed an opinion in response to OP's question and then explained my views.

I didn't realize the forum was supposed to be a fantasy world...but to each his own.

Does the truth offend you?

As for Peer's definition of "honor" he is the authority on what he meant but take a look at what he POSTED:

"Well, you see the options -- cast your vote according to your conscience."

The implication is clear that he meant honor vs. dishonor (which is where conscience comes in) and not honor in the sense of winning an award where conscience is not a factor.

But I'll tell ya what. Please let me know whenever you enter your fantasy world regarding any given thread and I'll do my best not to pop your pink bubble.

And GEEZ yourself.

EDIT...I draw your attention to your exchange in the "Shame on You" thread:

I am sorry, I don't think it is depressing or sad. You said it correctly, it is. The rest of the world doesn't have to love what we do. It is there for us. Let it be!!
Peace, Purdman

Do you suffer from mood swings in addition to your excursions into fantasy worlds? I genuinely sympathize with you if that is true and hope that you will seek help

You think there is any chance we could get Stick8 as a third base coach? We need someone with a good voice to tell people to go home.:D :D :D

as cranky as he's getting he might shoot you in the face the first time you get thrown out at 3rd trying to leg a double into a triple.

Ive heard one similar to it,

When he gets there god shows him to his house, its a tiny little shack with holes in the roof and floors and a couple of faded and torn packers flags in the windows. next to it is a million dollar home with a huge fountain in the yard and giant cowboys flags all over the place. So farve asks god. " After all ive done and all my accomplishments why do i get this tiny little shack and troy aikmen get that mansion im at least as good as him". God starts laughing and says that aint aikmens house thats mine.

LOL...and here's another punch line...."Because Aikman can pronounce his own last name."

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't want a position which requires me 'to show up' on a regular basis. (or wear a uniform)
I just want to sit in the stands on sunny days, eating hot dogs, drinking beer, taking steroids and betting on the games........
Doug
( all in an honorable way, of course ) :)
